BC327 / BC328
Vishay Semiconductors
Small Signal Transistors (PNP)
Features
• PNP Silicon Epitaxial Planar Transistors for
switching and amplifier applications. Especially
suitable for AF-driver stages and low-power output
stages.
• These types are also available subdivided into
three groups, -16, -25, and -40, according to their
DC current gain. As complementary types, the
NPN transistors BC337 and BC338 are recom-
mended.
