BC640

Changjing · Bipolar (BJT) · TO-92

BC640 from Changjing, in a TO-92. Pinout and pin descriptions extracted from the manufacturer datasheet (extract_pins, cross-checked by a second model); symbol, footprint, and 3D from KiCad-official CAD.

Pinout

Pin Name Type Function
1 EMITTER passive Emitter terminal of the PNP transistor; the datasheet limits emitter-base voltage to -5 V and continuous collector current to -1 A.
2 COLLECTOR passive Collector terminal of the PNP transistor; for the BC640 the datasheet limits collector-emitter voltage to -80 V and collector-base voltage to -100 V.
3 BASE passive Base terminal of the PNP transistor; the datasheet specifies VCE(sat) of -0.5 V at IC = -500 mA with IB = -50 mA.
