BC33740TA-01

Single Bipolar Transistors Overview

The BC33740TA-01 is an NPN epitaxial silicon bipolar junction transistor manufactured by Flip Electronics. It features a maximum DC collector current of 800 mA and a collector-emitter breakdown voltage of 45 V. The device operates within a temperature range of -55°C to 150°C, with a maximum power dissipation of 625 mW. Key electrical parameters include a collector-base voltage of 50 V, an emitter-base voltage of 5 V, and a transition frequency of 100 MHz. The minimum DC current gain (hFE) is specified at 60. The component utilizes a TO-92 three-pin through-hole package.

Single Bipolar Transistors Procurement Notes

Verify the manufacturer designation carefully, as the suffix '-01' indicates production by Flip Electronics rather than onsemi or Fairchild. Confirm that the specific part number matches your bill of materials exactly, as generic BC337 variants may have different gain ranges or packaging. Ensure compatibility with existing supply chain requirements before finalizing orders.

Single Bipolar Transistors Selection Notes

Select this component when a standard NPN transistor with 45V rating and 800mA capability is required. Consider the TO-92 package constraints for board space. Verify that the hFE minimum of 60 meets circuit design requirements. Check if the specific Flip Electronics manufacturing origin is acceptable for your quality assurance protocols compared to other industry-standard sources.

Single Bipolar Transistors Part Context

This component belongs to the broader BC337 family of small-signal NPN transistors. While sharing similar electrical characteristics with parts from onsemi and Fairchild, the BC33740TA-01 is specifically identified under the Flip Electronics product line. It serves as a direct functional equivalent in many designs requiring standard NPN switching capabilities.

Single Bipolar Transistors Replacement Considerations

Public confirmed substitute part numbers include BC337-40ZL1G and BC33725TA. These alternatives share the same TO-92 package and similar NPN specifications. Verify exact gain binning and manufacturer-specific tolerances when substituting.
