• Low voltage rating of 80 V
• TO-92 plastic encapsulation

Single Bipolar Transistors Applications

• Audio amplifiers
• Video amplifiers
• General-purpose switching

Single Bipolar Transistors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'ZL1' against official onsemi documentation to confirm tape-and-reel packaging or specific binning requirements. Ensure the component matches the standard BC636 electrical characteristics while confirming the manufacturer's current production status and RoHS compliance details.

Single Bipolar Transistors Selection Notes

Select this component for designs requiring a PNP transistor with 1 A current handling and 80 V breakdown in a compact through-hole package. Compare against complementary NPN types like the BC635 for push-pull configurations. Verify thermal dissipation limits within the TO-92 enclosure for the intended operating environment.

Single Bipolar Transistors Part Context

This part belongs to the BC63x series of PNP transistors from onsemi. It serves as a complement to other devices in the family, such as the BC635 and BC637. The series is widely used in consumer electronics for signal amplification and switching tasks where moderate power and small form factors are required.

Single Bipolar Transistors Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include the BC636 from other manufacturers such as NXP Semiconductors or STMicroelectronics. Ensure pinout compatibility and identical electrical ratings when cross-referencing datasheets from different vendors.
