BC327 (Transistor, PNP, -45V, 100 MHz, 625mW, -800mA)

BC327 is a general purpose PNP BJP transistor that can be used for switching and amplification purposes in electronic circuits. The transistor features 800mA collector current hence it can be used to drive variety of loads in an electronic application. The max collector-emitter voltage is -45V therefore it can easily handle load voltage under 45V. Apart from that transistor also features 625mW collector dissipation and DC current gain of maximum 630 therefore it can also be used as an audio amplifier or for any type of signal amplification.

BC327 manufactured in different h_FE classification that can be differentiate with the code number written after the transistor number. If you find code -16 after the transistor number then the h_FE  will be 100~250, if the code is -25 then the h_FE  will be 160~400 and if the code is -40 then the h_FE  will be 250~630.

Replacement and Equivalent

Alternative transistors for BC327 are 2N4403, BC488, BC638, 2N4402, 2N3702, 2N3703, BC486, Bc490 and BC328 (The pinout configuration of the alternative or substitute transistors shown here many be different from the BC327. Therefore it is suggested to always check pinout configuration of a transistor you are replacing in the circuit.)
