BSX20 Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The BSX20 is an NPN bipolar junction transistor (BJT) manufactured by Multicomp Pro, housed in a TO-18 metal package. This transistor is characterized by its low current and low voltage capabilities, making it suitable for high-speed saturated switching applications and HF amplifier circuits.

Key electrical specifications include a maximum collector current of 200 mA and a collector-emitter voltage of 15 V. The DC current gain (hFE) ranges from 40 to 120 at 10 mA collector current and 1 V VCE. Its transition frequency (fT) is a minimum of 500 MHz at 10 mA collector current and 10 V VCE, indicating good high-frequency performance.

The TO-18 package is a standard metal can package, typically requiring through-hole mounting. Thermal characteristics include a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance of 480 K/W and a junction-to-case thermal resistance of 150 K/W. The operating temperature range is -65 °C to +150 °C.

This component is designed for applications requiring fast switching speeds and moderate power handling. Its specifications make it a versatile choice for various electronic circuits.
