BC337-25-AP

Single Bipolar Transistors Overview

The BC337-25-AP is an NPN silicon epitaxial planar transistor manufactured by Micro Commercial Components. It features a maximum collector-emitter voltage of 45 V and a continuous collector current of 800 mA. The device dissipates up to 625 mW of power and operates within a junction temperature range of -55°C to +150°C. Key electrical parameters include a DC current gain (hFE) minimum of 160 at 100 mA and 1 V, a transition frequency of 210 MHz, and a maximum collector-base leakage current of 200 nA. It is housed in a TO-92 through-hole package.

Single Bipolar Transistors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific manufacturer lot code and date code upon receipt to ensure authenticity. Confirm that the component matches the TO-92 physical dimensions and pinout configuration required by your design. Check for any recent Product Change Notifications regarding packaging or material composition updates from the manufacturer.

Single Bipolar Transistors Selection Notes

Select this component when a standard NPN bipolar junction transistor is required for moderate current switching or linear amplification tasks. Ensure the application voltage does not exceed the 45 V collector-emitter rating. Consider the thermal management requirements given the 625 mW power dissipation limit in the TO-92 package.

Single Bipolar Transistors Part Context

This part belongs to the BC337 series of NPN general-purpose transistors. The suffix '25' indicates a specific binning for DC current gain, typically ranging from 160 to 400. The 'AP' suffix denotes the specific tape and reel or bulk packaging format provided by Micro Commercial Components.

Single Bipolar Transistors Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include the BC337-25 from other manufacturers such as STMicroelectronics or ON Semiconductor, provided they meet the same 45V/800mA specifications and hFE gain binning requirements.
