COMSET BC141

NPN BC140/10 – BC140/16
NPN BC141/10 – BC141/16
GENERAL PURPOSE TRANSISTORS
They are silicon planar epitaxial NPN transistors mounted in TO-39 metal package.
They are particulary designed for audio amplifiers and switching applications up to 1A.
PNP complements are the BC160 – BC161.
Compliance to RoHS.
