Taiwan Semiconductor Co., Ltd. Single Bipolar Transistors BC338-40

The BC338-40 is an NPN silicon transistor in a TO-92 package for switching and AF amplifier applications. It has a collector-emitter voltage rating of 25 V, a continuous collector current of 800 mA, and a power dissipation of 625 mW. The DC current gain (hFE) ranges from 250 to 630 at VCE = 5 V and IC = 100 mA. The collector-emitter saturation voltage is up to 0.7 V at IC = 500 mA and IB = 50 mA. It operates from -55°C to +150°C and is RoHS compliant with a halogen-free green compound. Moisture sensitivity level is 1, and terminals are matte tin plated per MIL-STD-202, Method 208. The device is not intended for medical or life-sustaining applications.
