BCY58-IX PBFREE

Overview

The BCY58-IX PBFREE is a single NPN bipolar junction transistor (BJT) manufactured by Central Semiconductor Corp. It utilizes a TO-18-3 metal can package for through-hole mounting. Key electrical ratings include a collector-emitter voltage of 32 V, a collector-base voltage of 32 V, and an emitter-base voltage of 7 V. The device supports a maximum DC collector current of 100 mA with a power dissipation of 340 mW. It features a transition frequency of 150 MHz and operates within a temperature range of -65°C to +200°C.

Feature Summary

• Single NPN configuration housed in a hermetically sealed TO-18-3 metal can package.

Applications

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix IX against official datasheets to confirm exact parameter tolerances and testing conditions. Confirm availability status as manufacturing lifecycles change. Ensure compatibility with existing circuit designs regarding thermal management and pinout alignment before integration.

Selection Notes

Select this component for low-power switching or amplification tasks requiring high-temperature stability up to 200°C. The TO-18 package suits applications needing robust mechanical protection. Compare gain bandwidth and saturation voltage requirements against alternative BJT models if higher current handling is necessary.

Part Context

This part belongs to the BCY58 series of NPN transistors produced by Central Semiconductor. The series typically offers standardized performance metrics for general-purpose electronic circuits. The 'PBFREE' designation indicates compliance with lead-free manufacturing standards.

Replacement Considerations

Consult official substitution guides for equivalent NPN transistors with matching voltage and current ratings. Verify pinout compatibility when replacing with similar TO-18 packaged devices.
