BC640,116

Single Bipolar Transistors Overview

The BC640,116 is a PNP medium power transistor manufactured by NXP USA Inc. It operates within a collector-emitter voltage (VCEO) of up to 80 V and supports a continuous collector current (IC) of 1 A. The device features a peak collector current (ICM) of 1.5 A and a total power dissipation (Ptot) of 0.83 W at an ambient temperature of 25 °C. It utilizes a TO-92 (SOT54) plastic package with three leads: base, collector, and emitter. The junction-to-ambient thermal resistance is 150 K/W, and the maximum operating junction temperature is 150 °C.

Single Bipolar Transistors Feature Summary

Single Bipolar Transistors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's latest documentation to confirm package type and compliance status. Ensure the component matches the required voltage and current ratings for the target circuit design before procurement.

Single Bipolar Transistors Selection Notes

Select this component for circuits requiring PNP switching or amplification with moderate current handling. Compare its 80 V rating and 1 A limit against circuit requirements. Consider the complementary NPN types for push-pull configurations.

Single Bipolar Transistors Part Context

This part belongs to the BC63x series of PNP medium power transistors produced by Philips/NXP Semiconductors. It serves as the PNP complement to the BC635, BC637, and BC639 NPN transistors. The series is designed for general-purpose medium power applications in consumer electronics.

Single Bipolar Transistors Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include the BC640 from other manufacturers such as ON Semiconductor or Fairchild Semiconductor, provided they meet the same electrical specifications and package dimensions.
