BC369_D74Z

Single Bipolar Transistors Overview

The onsemi BC369_D74Z is a PNP bipolar junction transistor (BJT) designed for general-purpose switching and amplification applications. It features a maximum collector-emitter voltage of 20 V and a continuous collector current rating of 1 A. The device operates within a junction temperature range of -55°C to 150°C and has a maximum power dissipation of 625 mW. Key electrical characteristics include a transition frequency of 65 MHz and a DC current gain of at least 85 when tested at 500 mA with a collector-emitter voltage of 1 V. The saturation voltage is specified at a maximum of 500 mV under conditions of 100 mA base current and 1 A collector current.

Single Bipolar Transistors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix D74Z against official manufacturer documentation to confirm tape-and-reel packaging details, as standard BC369 variants may differ in shipping format. Confirm RoHS compliance status, noting that some legacy BC369 listings indicate non-compliance. Ensure the component matches the TO-92 through-hole package specification required for your board layout before finalizing procurement.

Single Bipolar Transistors Selection Notes

Select this component when a PNP transistor with moderate current capacity and low voltage ratings is required. It serves as a direct functional replacement for other generic PNP transistors in the same voltage and current class. Consider the TO-92 package constraints for thermal management and ensure the 20 V breakdown voltage aligns with the circuit's maximum supply rails.

Single Bipolar Transistors Part Context

The BC369 belongs to the family of small-signal PNP transistors widely used in consumer electronics and industrial control modules. Manufactured by onsemi, it provides a cost-effective solution for discrete switching applications. The part is historically significant in analog design but may be subject to obsolescence notices; verify current production status through official channels.
