BFW16A Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The BFW16A is an NPN bipolar junction RF transistor manufactured by Central Semiconductor Corp. Designed for RF amplification and switching applications, it offers a maximum collector-emitter voltage of 25V and a continuous collector current rating of 150mA. The device dissipates up to 1.5W and provides a typical transition frequency (fT) of 1.2GHz, making it suitable for high-frequency circuits up to the VHF/UHF range.

 

The transistor is housed in a TO-205AD / TO-39-3 metal can package with through-hole mounting, ensuring robust mechanical and thermal performance. The DC current gain (hFE) is a minimum of 25 at 50mA collector current and 5V VCE, providing consistent amplification characteristics.

 

This part is commonly used in RF driver stages, oscillator circuits, and low-power RF amplifiers where moderate gain and frequency response are required. The metal can package offers good heat dissipation and shielding for sensitive RF designs.
