Performance


	h_fe		Common-emitter current gain or static forward current transfer ratio (h_fe ) is defined as the ratio of the input DC current and the output DC current of the transistor (static current gain). This parameter is also known as β. The ratio of collector current to base current, ß, is the fundamental parameter characterizing the amplifying ability of a bipolar transistor. ß is usually assumed to be a constant figure in circuit calculations, but unfortunately this is far from true in practice. As such, manufacturers provide a set of ß (or "h_fe") figures for a given transistor over a wide range of operating conditions, usually in the form of maximum/minimum/typical ratings. It may surprise you to see just how widely ß can be expected to vary within normal operating limits. One popular small-signal transistor, the 2N3903, is advertised as having a ß ranging from 15 to 150 depending on the amount of collector current. Generally, ß is highest for medium collector currents, decreasing for very low and very high collector currents.

	f_T		Current gain bandwidth product is the frequency at which h_FEis in unity.
	Search Logic:		All matching products will have a value greater than or equal to the specified value.

	P_D		The power dissipation is the total power consumption of the device. It is generally expressed in watts or milliwatt. When a transistor conducts current between collector and emitter, it also drops voltage between those two points. At any given time, the power dissipated by a transistor is equal to the product of collector current and collector-emitter voltage. Just like resistors, transistors are rated in terms of how many watts they can safely dissipate without sustaining damage. High temperature is the mortal enemy of all semiconductor devices, and bipolar transistors tend to be more susceptible to thermal damage than most. Power ratings are always given in reference to the temperature of ambient (surrounding) air. When transistors are to be used in hotter-than-normal environments, their power ratings must be derated to avoid a shortened service life.

TO-263 can accommodate large dice because of its large pad design. It is suitable for high-power applications due to its low resistance. Typical applications for TO-263 include home appliances and personal computers.

SOT82 lead frames are available in full nickel or selective silver plating and allow wire bonding with gold or aluminum wire. Often, SOT82 is used in over-voltage protection devices in telecommunications equipment. SOT82 is also used to package high-power rectifiers, DC to AC converters (DACs) and frequency converters.
	SOT89		SOT89 is a plastic, surface-mounted, small outline transistor (SOT) package with three leads and a collector pad for good heat transfer. Unlike other packages, SOT89 lead posts are up-set and not down-set. SOT89 is designed for medium power and high-speed switching applications.

The encapsulation material enhances device reliability, allowing SOT223 to provide excellent performance in environments with high temperatures and humidity levels. SOT223 provides power dissipation of 1-1.5 W.

	Packing Method
	Your choices are...
	Tape Reel		Components are packed in tape reel assemblies that include a carrier tape with embossed cavities for storing individual components. A cover tape seals the carrier tape in place. This composite tape is then wound on a reel that is placed in a corrugated shipping box for transport and delivery. Customers unpack the reels and load them into industry-standard, pick-and-place board assembly equipment. Tape and reel assemblies provide component isolation and are designed for surface-mount packages such as quad flat package (QFP) and thin quad flat package (TQFP).
	Rail		This is a method of packaging IC chips for production environments.
	Bulk Pack		Components are distributed as individual parts.
	Shipping Tube / Stick Magazine		Components are packed in shipping tubes or stick magazines that are made of rigid polyvinylchloride (PVC) and extruded in industry-standard sizes. These containers protect components during shipping and provide proper component location and orientation for use with industry-standard, pick-and-place board assembly equipment. To facilitate shipping and handling, shipping tubes and stick magazines are usually loaded into intermediate containers such as boxes or bags to form standard quantities. Intermediate-level packing quantities for shipping tubes and stick magazines often vary by pin count and package type.
	Tray		Components are packed in trays that are made of carbon powder or fiber materials and molded into rectangular outlines that contain matrices of uniformly spaced pockets. These containers protect components during shipping and provide proper component location and orientation for use with industry-standard, pick-and-place board assembly equipment. Trays are designed for components for that have leads on four sides and that require component lead isolation during shipping, handling, or processing. For example, quad flat package (QFP) and thin quad flat package (TQFP) components are often shipped in trays. To facilitate shipping and handling, trays are stacked and bound together in standard configurations. To provide rigidity, an empty cover tray is added to the top of the load. Typical stacking configurations consist of five full trays and one cover tray, and ten full trays and one cover tray. Customer requirements determine whether trays are shipped in single or multiple stacks.
	Other		Other unlisted, specialized or proprietary packing methods.
