BC33816BU

Single Bipolar Transistors Overview

The BC33816BU is a single NPN silicon epitaxial planar transistor manufactured by onsemi. It utilizes a TO-92-3 through-hole package and operates with a maximum collector-emitter voltage of 45 V and a continuous collector current of 800 mA. The device features a power dissipation rating of 625 mW, a transition frequency of 100 MHz, and a DC current gain (hFE) range of 160 to 250 at specified test conditions. It supports a maximum junction temperature of 150°C.

Single Bipolar Transistors Feature Summary

• Single NPN configuration for general-purpose amplification and switching
• High DC current gain suitable for low-power signal processing
• Robust thermal performance with high junction temperature tolerance

Single Bipolar Transistors Applications

• General-purpose amplifier circuits
• Low-power switching applications
• Audio driver stages

Single Bipolar Transistors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix '16' indicates the hFE binning class (160-250). Confirm RoHS compliance status via the official datasheet. Check for End-of-Life notifications or discontinuance notices from onsemi before finalizing procurement plans.

Single Bipolar Transistors Selection Notes

Select this component when a standard NPN transistor with moderate gain and 800 mA capability is required. Ensure the application voltage does not exceed 45 V. Consider the TO-92-3 package constraints for PCB layout and thermal management requirements in the design phase.

Single Bipolar Transistors Part Context

This part belongs to the BC338 family of NPN transistors. It shares the same electrical ratings as other variants but differs in current gain classification. The 'BU' suffix typically denotes lead-free packaging and specific tape-and-reel or bulk shipping configurations defined by the manufacturer.

Single Bipolar Transistors Replacement Considerations

BC33716BU: Identical specifications with different packaging or supplier designation. BC338-16: Generic equivalent from other manufacturers. Verify pinout compatibility and exact hFE ranges before substitution.
