BC80825MTF

Overview

The BC80825MTF is a single PNP small signal bipolar junction transistor manufactured by Fairchild Semiconductor. It utilizes silicon planar technology and is housed in an SOT-23 surface-mount package (R-PDSO-G3). The device supports a maximum collector current of 0.8 A and a collector-emitter voltage rating of 25 V. It features a minimum DC current gain (hFE) of 100. The component is lead-free, RoHS compliant, and classified as a commercial-grade part with a moisture sensitivity level of 1.

Feature Summary

• PNP polarity configuration for general-purpose amplification applications
• Small outline plastic epoxy encapsulation for surface mounting
• Lead-free construction adhering to environmental standards

Applications

• General purpose amplifier circuits
• Switching applications requiring low power control
• Signal processing stages in consumer electronics

Procurement Notes

Verify the manufacturer designation on the datasheet, as Rochester Electronics also lists this part number. Confirm the specific suffix matches the required package type and compliance status. Ensure the source document explicitly identifies Fairchild Semiconductor as the originator for design compatibility.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a PNP transistor with 25 V breakdown and 0.8 A current capacity is required in a compact SOT-23 footprint. Verify that the minimum hFE of 100 meets the circuit's gain requirements. Consider thermal management capabilities inherent to the small outline package for the intended application load.

Part Context

This component belongs to the BC808 series of PNP transistors. It shares electrical characteristics with other variants in the family but is distinguished by its specific voltage and current ratings within the SOT-23 form factor. The part is widely used in standard discrete semiconductor designs.
