Maximum ratings applied to the device are individual stress limit values (not normal operating conditions) and are not valid simultaneously. If these limits are exceeded, device functional operation is not implied, damage may occur and reliability may be affected. 12 TO-92 CASE 29 STYLE 17 3 BC23xy = Device Code x = 7 or 9 y = B or C A = Assembly Location Y = Year WW = Work Week G = Pb-Free Package (Note: Microdot may be in either location) ORDERING INFORMATION Device BC237 TO-92 5000 Units / Bulk TO-92 (Pb-Free) 5000 Units / Bulk BC237B TO-92 5000 Units / Bulk TO-92 (Pb-Free) 5000 Units / Bulk TO-92 2000/Tape & Reel TO-92 (Pb-Free) 2000/Tape & Reel TO-92 2000/Ammo Pack TO-92 (Pb-Free) 2000/Ammo Pack TO-92 5000 Units / Bulk TO-92 (Pb-Free) 5000 Units / Bulk BC237BRL1 BC237BRL1G BC237BZL1 BC237BZL1G BC237C BC237CG (c) Semiconductor Components Industries, LLC, 2006 January, 2006 - Rev. 4 1 Shipping BC237G BC237BG *For additional information on our Pb-Free strategy and soldering details, please download the ON Semiconductor Soldering and Mounting Techniques Reference Manual, SOLDERRM/D.
