Frequently asked questions
What is the price of BC160-16 PNP Power Switching Transistor 40V 1A TO-39 in Egypt?
BC160-16 PNP Power Switching Transistor 40V 1A TO-39 currently costs 13 EGP in Egypt.
Where can I buy BC160-16 PNP Power Switching Transistor 40V 1A TO-39 in Egypt?
BC160-16 PNP Power Switching Transistor 40V 1A TO-39 is available from Makers Electronics. Compare the offers above to find the best price.
How do I wire BC160-16 as a low-side or high-side switch?
As a PNP it is normally used high-side: the emitter goes to the positive supply, the load sits between the collector and ground, and the base is pulled low through a resistor to turn it on.
Can it replace an NPN transistor in a circuit?
No. PNP and NPN transistors have opposite polarity, so the bias and supply connections must be redesigned. Also confirm the TO-39 pin order in the datasheet before wiring, since the metal case is not a reliable pin reference.
