Specifications

The specifications of the RT1N436C-T12-2 are largely similar to the RT1N436C, with the critical distinction being the packaging designed for automated assembly. General characteristics include:

• Collector-Emitter Voltage (VCEO): Typically around 50V
• Collector Current (IC): Typically around 2A
• Power Dissipation (PC): Typically around 1W
• DC Current Gain (hFE): Typically between 100 and 300 (This varies depending on the specific grade)
• Operating Temperature: -55°C to +150°C
• Packaging: T12-2, indicating a specific tape and reel format different from T12-1, designed for pick-and-place machines, potentially with different reel sizes or component orientations within the tape.

The key difference between the T12-1 and T12-2 versions lies in the precise details of the tape and reel packaging, which are optimized for different automated assembly equipment or processes. Consult the manufacturer's datasheet for the specific details of the T12-2 packaging and how it differs from other packaging options.
