C828 Transistor Explained / Description:
C828 is a BJT transistor that can be used for any general purpose requirements. The transistor can be as a switch and also as an amplifier. When using as a switch it can handle load of upto 100mA. 100mA is quite fair amount of current when driving other components in an electronic circuit. On the other hand if used as an amplifier it can deliver 400mW and the maximum DC current gain value is 520. It is available in different DC gain values which can be identified by looking at the last alphabet after the transistor number. If the last alphabet is “Q” the tranisistor gain will be 130 to 260, if “R” the gain will be 180 to 360 and if “S” then the gain will be 260 to 520, therefore you can choose it according to your requirements.
Where We Can Use It & How to Use
As mentioned above C828 is a general purpose transistor due to which you can use it in any application which falls under the transistor’s maximum ratings. For example it can be used to drive LEDs, ICs, relays, high power transistors, microcontrollers etc. It can also be used at the output of low current devices such as ICs whos output current is low. Moreover it can also be used in the circuits of audio preamplifiers and amplifiers.
Applications
Switching loads under 100mA
Audio Preamplification
Darlington Pairs
Low current ICs output
Audio Amplification
Various type of signal amplification
How to Safely Long Run in a Circuit
To get stable performance from this transistor for long period do not drive load more than 100mA and 25V DC. Always use a suitable base resistor and do not store and use the transistor in temperature below -55 Celsius and above 150 Celsius.
