BC636-10-AP

Single Bipolar Transistors Overview

The BC636-10-AP is a PNP epitaxial silicon transistor manufactured by Micro Commercial Components (MCC). It features a maximum collector current of -1.0 A and a collector-emitter breakdown voltage of -45 V. The device supports a power dissipation of 830 mW in a TO-92 through-hole package. DC current gain ranges from 63 to 160 at an emitter current of -150 mA. Transition frequency is rated at 100 MHz, with junction temperatures supported between -65°C and +150°C.

Single Bipolar Transistors Feature Summary

• High current capability for general-purpose switching applications
• Through-hole TO-92 plastic encapsulation for standard mounting
• RoHS compliant construction with lead-free finish

Single Bipolar Transistors Applications

• General-purpose amplification circuits
• Switching loads up to 1.0 A
• Driver stages for resistive or inductive loads

Single Bipolar Transistors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix '-AP' indicates Ammo Pack packaging containing 20,000 pieces per carton. Confirm the '-10' designation corresponds to the specified hFE bin range of 63 to 160. Ensure compliance requirements match the RoHS and Halogen-Free status documented in the datasheet.

Single Bipolar Transistors Selection Notes

Select this component when a PNP transistor with a 45 V collector-emitter rating and 1.0 A continuous current capacity is required. The BC636-10 variant provides a lower minimum gain compared to the standard BC636, suitable for applications requiring tighter gain control within the 63 to 160 range.

Single Bipolar Transistors Part Context

This part belongs to the BC636 series of PNP transistors produced by MCC. It shares the same physical package and maximum ratings as the BC636-16, BC638, and BC640 variants, differing primarily in the collector-emitter breakdown voltage and the specific DC current gain binning configuration.

Single Bipolar Transistors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include the BC636-16, BC638, and BC640 from the same manufacturer family. Cross-manufacturer equivalents must be verified against the -45 V VCEO limit and -1.0 A IC rating.
