Description
2SC945 Bipolar NPN Transistor is an age-old Japanese Bipolar audio frequency NPN transistor. 2SC945 Bipolar NPN Transistor has a decent gain value (hfe) of maximum 700 and is highly linear. Hence it was widely used in amplifier applications for pre-amplifying purpose, in high-frequency circuits. It is also used as oscillators with is complementary A733 PNP transistor.
When used as a switch it can easily be controlled by an MCU/MPU since it has a base voltage of only 5V. It can switch loads up to 50V but has a very low collector current rating of the only 150mA so this transistor is not really a good choice to be used as a switch. A better alternative for switching applications will be 2N2222.
However, this transistor is outdated and will not be easily available if you are in Asian or European countries. In that case, you can try the 2N3904 transistor from ON semiconductors, but do remember to deal with the pinouts as mentioned in the warning section above.
