Description
Product Details

BC160 PNP Transistor - Medium Power Switching in a Metal TO-39 Case

The BC160 is a PNP transistor housed in a TO-39 metal package, delivering up to 1A collector current and 60V breakdown voltage for medium-power switching and driver circuits. Its metal can offers better heat dissipation than plastic TO-92 parts, making it a solid choice for slightly higher current stages in audio, power supply and motor driver designs.

Functions & Applications

1A Collector Current: Handles higher loads than typical small-signal transistors.
60V Breakdown Voltage: Suitable for medium-voltage switching and driver circuits.
Metal TO-39 Package: Improved heat dissipation compared to plastic small-signal cases.
50MHz Transition Frequency: Usable in audio and moderate-speed switching applications.
PNP Polarity: Complements NPN designs in push-pull and driver topologies.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How much current can the BC160 handle continuously?
A: The BC160 is rated for a maximum collector current of 1A, with 3.7W power dissipation, so continuous operation near that limit requires adequate heatsinking or airflow.

Q: What is a common complementary NPN part for the BC160?
A: The BC160 is part of a PNP/NPN family alongside the BC140 series, which is commonly used as the complementary NPN counterpart in push-pull designs.

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