Single Bipolar Transistors Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized channels as this part may be discontinued or obsolete. Confirm exact datasheet revision and manufacturer origin, as historical documentation may reflect former Fairchild Semiconductor specifications now managed by onsemi. Ensure replacement parts meet identical electrical parameters if sourcing alternatives due to end-of-life status.

Single Bipolar Transistors Selection Notes

Select this component for designs requiring a standard NPN transistor with 1 A continuous collector current and 80 V breakdown voltage. Consider the TO-92-3 through-hole package for prototyping or low-volume manufacturing where surface-mount options are not required. Verify that the 100 MHz transition frequency meets the signal bandwidth requirements of the intended application circuit.

Single Bipolar Transistors Part Context

The BC63916 belongs to the broader BC639 series of NPN transistors, widely utilized in consumer electronics and industrial control systems. Historically manufactured by Fairchild Semiconductor, production rights and documentation have transitioned to onsemi.
