Single Bipolar Transistors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet revision and RoHS compliance status directly with Central Semiconductor or authorized distributors before integration. Confirm that the TO-92-3 package dimensions match your PCB footprint requirements. Ensure that thermal management strategies account for the 625 mW power dissipation limit under expected operating conditions to maintain reliability.

Single Bipolar Transistors Selection Notes

Select this component when a standard NPN transistor with moderate voltage ratings and high current gain is required. The 105 MHz transition frequency makes it suitable for audio and low-frequency RF applications. Consider the through-hole mounting style if surface-mount alternatives are not feasible for the target design constraints.
