BC337-16 BC337-25 E B TO-92 C NPN General Purpose Amplifier This device is designed for use as general purpose amplifiers and switches requiring collector currents to 500 mA. Sourced from Process 12. See TN3019A for characteristics. Absolute Maximum Ratings* Symbol TA = 25°C unless otherwise noted Parameter Value Units VCEO Collector-Emitter Voltage 45 V VCES Collector-Base Voltage 50 V VEBO Emitter-Base Voltage 5.0 V IC Collector Current - Continuous 1.0 A TJ, Tstg Operating and Storage Junction Temperature Range -55 to +150 °C *These ratings are limiting values above which the serviceability of any semiconductor device may be impaired. NOTES: 1) These ratings are based on a maximum junction temperature of 150 degrees C. 2) These are steady state limits. The factory should be consulted on applications involving pulsed or low duty cycle operations.
