Key Features
- Transistor Type: PNP - This indicates that the primary charge carriers are holes, making it suitable for use in the negative side of the circuit.
- Maximum Collector-Emitter Voltage (Vceo): 45V - This is the maximum voltage the transistor can tolerate between the collector and emitter when the base is open.
- Collector Current (Ic): -500mA - The maximum continuous current that can flow through the collector of the transistor.
- Power Dissipation (Pd): 250mW - The amount of power that the transistor can dissipate without exceeding its maximum junction temperature.
- DC Current Gain (hFE): 100 to 600 - A measure of the transistor's ability to amplify the current, indicating its efficiency in a given circuit.
- Operating Temperature Range: -65°C to +150°C - The range within which the transistor can operate reliably.
- Package: SOT-23 - A small and efficient surface-mount package that helps to save space on printed circuit boards (PCBs).
