Key Features:

• Transistor Type: NPN - This type of transistor is typically used for amplification and switching purposes.
• Current - Collector (Ic) (Max): 100mA - This indicates the maximum amount of current that the transistor can handle through the collector without damage.
• Voltage - Collector Emitter Breakdown (Max): 65V - This voltage rating specifies the maximum voltage the collector-emitter junction can withstand in the off state.
• DC Current Gain (hFE) (Min) @ Ic, Vce: 200 at 2mA, 5V - This gain value indicates the transistor's ability to amplify the input signal at a given collector current and collector-emitter voltage.
• Power - Max: 250mW - The maximum power dissipation of the transistor, which is the product of voltage across and current through the device.
• Frequency - Transition: 100MHz - The transition frequency at which the gain of the transistor falls to 1. This parameter is important for applications requiring high-frequency performance.
• Operating Temperature: -55°C ~ 150°C - This wide range of operating temperatures makes the transistor suitable for various environments and applications.
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount - The SOT-23 package allows for mounting directly onto a printed circuit board (PCB), saving space and making the device suitable for high-density designs.
