FEATURES
♦
NPN Silicon Epitaxial Planar Transistors
for switching and amplifier applications. Especially
suitab le for AF-driver stages and low power
output stages.
♦
These types are also available subdivided into three groups -16, -25, and -40,
according to their DC current gain. As complementary types, the PNP transistors
BC327 and BC328 are recommended.
♦
On special request, these transistors are also
manufactured in the pin configuration TO-18.
