BC517_D26Z

Single Bipolar Transistors Overview

The BC517_D26Z is a small-signal NPN silicon bipolar junction transistor manufactured by onsemi. It features a maximum collector-emitter voltage of 40V and a continuous collector current rating of 1A. The device utilizes a TO-92 through-hole package with kinked leads for secure mounting. Key electrical characteristics include a minimum DC current gain (hFE) of 300 and a transition frequency of 80MHz, supporting operation within a temperature range of -55°C to +150°C.

Single Bipolar Transistors Feature Summary

• High current handling capability suitable for general-purpose switching applications
• Robust thermal performance with high maximum junction temperature rating
• Standardized TO-92 mechanical form factor for easy integration

Single Bipolar Transistors Applications

• General-purpose amplifier circuits
• Low-power switching loads
• Driver stages for relay or LED control

Single Bipolar Transistors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix D26Z against official manufacturer documentation to confirm tape-and-reel packaging specifications. Confirm that the component meets RoHS directives as per the latest datasheet revision. Ensure compatibility with existing assembly processes regarding lead forming requirements for the TO-92 kinked variant.

Single Bipolar Transistors Selection Notes

Select this component when a single NPN transistor with 1A capacity is required in a TO-92 package. Compare hFE ranges against circuit biasing needs. Consider the 40V breakdown voltage limit relative to supply rails. Evaluate thermal dissipation constraints given the 625mW power rating in free air.

Single Bipolar Transistors Part Context

This part belongs to the BC517 series of NPN transistors designed for low-voltage, medium-current applications. It serves as a complementary or alternative device to other small-signal BJT families. The series is characterized by high linearity and consistent gain distribution across production batches.

Single Bipolar Transistors Replacement Considerations

Consult official cross-reference lists for verified substitutes such as the BC547 or BC557 series if polarity or voltage ratings differ. Verify pinout compatibility before substituting with generic equivalents.
