The BC337 is an NPN Bipolar Junction Transistor (BJT) in a TO-92 package, capable of handling higher currents than general-purpose small-signal transistors. Well suited for driving relays, LEDs and small loads in Arduino, ESP32 and DIY circuits.

 

BC337 NPN Transistor - Higher Current Switching in TO-92

The BC337 is an NPN transistor housed in the compact TO-92 package, rated for up to 800mA of collector current, making it a popular choice when a standard small-signal transistor like the BC547 isn't enough current-wise. It offers high gain for both switching and amplification tasks in general-purpose circuits.

Functions & Applications

  • Higher Current Handling: Up to 800mA, ideal for driving small relays, motors and multiple LEDs.
  • High DC Current Gain (hFE): Good sensitivity for amplification and logic-level switching.
  • Standard TO-92 Package: Easy through-hole soldering, breadboard and prototyping friendly.
  • MCU Compatible: Works well with 3.3V/5V outputs from Arduino, ESP32 and similar boards.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can the BC337 drive a small 12V relay?
A: Yes, as long as the relay coil current stays below 800mA (Ic). Use a flyback diode across the coil to protect the transistor from voltage spikes.

Q: What is the complementary PNP part for BC337?
A: The complementary PNP transistor is the BC327.
