Product Details

BC130 Low-Noise NPN Transistor - Classic TO-18 Metal Can

The BC130 is a silicon NPN transistor housed in a hermetic TO-18 metal can, originally developed for audio-frequency input and driver stages requiring low noise. It remains a solid choice for restoring vintage audio equipment or building low-noise preamplifier front ends where a metal-can package and modest gain grading are desired.

Functions & Applications

Low-Noise Design: Optimized for audio-frequency input stages where signal fidelity matters.
Hermetic TO-18 Package: Rugged metal-can construction offers good thermal stability and shielding.
Silicon NPN Construction: Reliable switching and amplification with a 150MHz transition frequency.
Graded Variants Available: Part of the BC130/BC130A/BC130B/BC130C hFE-graded family for matching gain requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What was the BC130 originally used for?
A: It was designed for audio-frequency (AF) input and driver stages requiring low noise, common in vintage audio and instrumentation circuits.

Q: What's the difference between BC130 and BC130A/B/C?
A: They are the same base transistor sorted into different hFE (current gain) grades; BC130C typically has the highest minimum gain of the group.

Notes

This is a legacy/vintage TO-18 metal-can transistor from the classic BC130 audio series - stock is typically NOS (New Old Stock), ideal for repairing or restoring vintage equipment.

Note: Price refers to one (1) piece. The component is shipped in bulk without individual packaging.
