NPN Silicon Epitaxial Planar Transistors

for switching and amplifier applications. Especially

suitable for AF-driver stages and low power

output stages.

These types are also available subdi-

vided into three groups -16, -25, and -40,

according to their DC current gain. As com-

plementary

types,

the

PNP

transistors

BC327 and BC328 are recommended.

On special request, these transistors are also

manufactured in the pin configuration TO-18.
