   Bipolar RF Transistors
 
     RF bipolar junction transistors (BJTs) are designed to handle high power RF signals, such as signals found in stereo amplifiers, radio transmitters, TV monitors, etc. Bipolar transistors come in a wide variety of physical packages. Package type is primarily dependent upon the power dissipation of the transistor, much like resistors: the greater the maximum power dissipation, the larger the device has to be to stay cool. There are several standardized package types for three-terminal semiconductor devices, any of which may be used to house a bipolar transistor. This is an important fact to consider: there are many other semiconductor devices other than bipolar transistors, which have three connection points. It is impossible to positively identify a three-terminal semiconductor device without referencing the part number printed on it, and/or subjecting it to a set of electrical tests.

     TO-263 is the surface-mount version of the TO-220 package. TO-263 is a transistor outline (TO) package with 2, 3, 5, 6, or 7 leads. TO-263 can accommodate large dice because of its large pad design. It is suitable for high power applications due to its low resistance. Typical applications for TO-263 include home appliances and personal computers.
 
   SO-8
 
     SO-8 is a small outline (SO) package.
 
   SOT3
 
     SOT3 is a small outline transistor (SOT) package with three leads.
 
   SOT23
 
     SOT23 is a rectangular, surface mounted, small outline transistor (SOT) package with three or more gull wing leads. SOT23 features a very small footprint and is optimized for the highest possible current.

SOT82 lead frames are available in full nickel or selective silver plating and allow wire bonding with gold or aluminum wire. Often, SOT82 is used in over-voltage protection devices in telecommunications equipment. SOT82 is also used to package high power rectifiers, DC to AC converters (DACs) and frequency converters.

   SOT223
 
     SOT223 is a plastic, surface mounted, small outline transistor (SOT) package with four leads and a heat sink. During soldering, the formed leads absorb thermal stress and eliminate the possibility of damage to the die. The encapsulation material enhances device reliability, allowing SOT223 to provide excellent performance in environments with high temperatures and humidity levels. SOT223 provides power dissipation of 1W ~ 1.5W.
 
   SOT323

   Packing Method       
   Your choices are...
 
      
 
   Tape Reel
 
     Components are packed in tape reel assemblies that include a carrier tape with embossed cavities for storing individual components. A cover tape seals the carrier tape in place. This composite tape is then wound on a reel that is placed in a corrugated shipping box for transport and delivery. Customers unpack the reels and load them into industry-standard, pick-and-place board assembly equipment. Tape and reel assemblies provide component isolation and are designed for surface mount packages such as quad flat package (QFP) and thin quad flat package (TQFP).
 
   Rail
 
     This is a method of packaging IC chips for production environments.
 
   Bulk Pack
 
     Components are distributed as individual parts.
 
   Tray
 
     Components are packed in trays that are made of carbon-powder or fiber materials and molded into rectangular outlines that contain matrices of uniformly spaced pockets. These containers protect components during shipping and provide proper component location and orientation for use with industry-standard, pick-and-place board assembly equipment. Trays are designed for components for that have leads on four sides and that require component lead isolation during shipping, handling, or processing. For example, quad flat package (QFP) and thin quad flat package (TQFP) components are often shipped in trays.

To facilitate shipping and handling, trays are stacked and bound together in standard configurations. To provide rigidity, an empty cover tray is added to the top of the load. Typical stacking configurations consist of five full trays and one cover tray, and ten full trays and one cover tray. Customer requirements determine whether trays are shipped in single or multiple stacks.
 
   Shipping Tube / Stick Magazine
 
     Components are packed in shipping tubes or stick magazines that are made of rigid polyvinylchloride (PVC) and extruded in industry-standard sizes. These containers protect components during shipping and provide proper component location and orientation for use with industry-standard, pick-and-place board assembly equipment. 

To facilitate shipping and handling, shipping tubes and stick magazines are usually loaded into intermediate containers such as boxes or bags to form standard quantities. Intermediate-level packing quantities for shipping tubes and stick magazines often vary by pin count and package type.
