Single Bipolar Transistors Procurement Notes

Verify component status carefully as this part is classified as End of Life by Central Semiconductor Corp. Last purchase orders must be placed within six months of the official notice date, with final shipments occurring twelve months after notification. Minimum order quantities may apply during the transition period. Confirm plating options such as PBFREE or TIN/LEAD if required for specific assembly processes before ordering.

Single Bipolar Transistors Selection Notes

Select this component when a high-current NPN transistor in a through-hole metal package is required. Ensure the circuit design accommodates the 40 V collector-emitter voltage limit and the 5.0 W power dissipation capability. Verify that the hFE range of 63 to 160 meets the biasing requirements for the intended application. Consider the physical dimensions of the TO-39 case for board layout constraints.

Single Bipolar Transistors Part Context

This device belongs to the BSX series of NPN silicon transistors manufactured by Central Semiconductor Corp. The series is designed for applications necessitating high collector currents. The BSX62 variant specifically offers a 40 V collector-emitter voltage rating, distinguishing it from the higher-voltage BSX63 model which supports 60 V. Both share identical mechanical packaging and maximum current ratings.
