bc337 PDF

The document describes the BC337 and BC338 NPN silicon epitaxial planar transistors. It provides key specifications such as maximum ratings, electrical characteristics, mechanical data, and characteristic curves. The transistors are suited for switching and amplifier applications like AF-driver stages and low power output stages. They are available in three groups (-16, -25, -40) according to their DC current gain and come in a TO-92 plastic package.

Features
NPN Silicon Epitaxial Planar Transistors for switching
and amplifier applications. Especially suited 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, this transistor is also manufactured
in the pin configuration TO-18.
