- Package / Case
refers to the protective housing that encases an electronic component, providing mechanical support, electrical connections, and thermal management.
SOT-23(SOT-23-3) - Current-Collector (Ic) (Max)150mA
- Packaging
Semiconductor package is a carrier / shell used to contain and cover one or more semiconductor components or integrated circuits. The material of the shell can be metal, plastic, glass or ceramic.
Tape & Reel (TR) - Power - Max
Power - Max is a parameter that specifies the maximum amount of power that an electronic component can handle without being damaged. It is typically measured in watts and indicates the upper limit of power that can be safely supplied to the component. Exceeding the maximum power rating can lead to overheating, malfunction, or permanent damage to the component. It is important to consider the power-max rating when designing circuits or systems to ensure proper operation and longevity of the electronic components.
200mW - Transistor Type
Transistor type refers to the classification of transistors based on their operation and construction. The two primary types are bipolar junction transistors (BJTs) and field-effect transistors (FETs). BJTs use current to control the flow of current, while FETs utilize voltage to control current flow. Each type has its own subtypes, such as NPN and PNP for BJTs, and MOSFETs and JFETs for FETs, impacting their applications and characteristics in electronic circuits.
PNP - Voltage - Collector Emitter Breakdown (Max)
Voltage - Collector Emitter Breakdown (Max) is a parameter that specifies the maximum voltage that can be applied between the collector and emitter terminals of a transistor or other semiconductor device before it breaks down and allows excessive current to flow. This parameter is crucial for ensuring the safe and reliable operation of the component within its specified limits. Exceeding the maximum breakdown voltage can lead to permanent damage or failure of the device. Designers and engineers must carefully consider this parameter when selecting components for their circuits to prevent potential issues and ensure proper functionality.
50V - RoHS Status
RoHS means “Restriction of Certain Hazardous Substances” in the “Hazardous Substances Directive” in electrical and electronic equipment.
RoHS Compliant

Where to use A733?
This A733 transistor can be used for a variety of amplification and switching applications. When used as a switch, it can drive loads of up to 150mA. which is sufficient to power relays, LEDs, high-power transistors, and integrated circuits, among other things. It can be utilized in low voltage circuits because it only requires a 0.3V base voltage for saturation. It can, however, be utilized in audio amplification stages as well as an amplifier to amplify a variety of signals.
How to run A733 safely?
It is recommended that you keep these items in mind when using this gadget in your circuits if you want it to last a long time. Do not drive a load that is higher than 50 volts and 150 milliamps. It is usually preferable to drive at a lower load than the maximum capacity. Always use a proper base resistor, and do not use or store this transistor between -55 and +150 degrees Celsius.
