Description

BC237A Overview
As the DC current gain is the ratio of the collector current to the base current, for this device the DC current gain is 120 @ 2mA 5V.As a result of vce saturation, Ic reaches its maximum value (saturated), and vce saturation(Max) is 600mV @ 5mA, 100mA.Single BJT transistor is possible to achieve a high level of efficiency by maintaining the emSingle BJT transistorter base voltage at 6V.Its current rating is 100mA, which means that it can sustain a maximum current for an indefinite period of time without degrading too much.TO-92-3 is the supplier device package for this product.This device displays a 45V maximum voltage - Collector Emitter Breakdown.During maximum operation, collector current can be as low as 100mA volts.

BC237A Features
the DC current gain for this device is 120 @ 2mA 5V
the vce saturation(Max) is 600mV @ 5mA, 100mA
the emitter base voltage is kept at 6V
