Description

Product Overview

The S8050 is a general-purpose NPN silicon transistor rated at 25V VCEO and 500mA collector current with 150MHz transition frequency. Available in TO-92 and SOT-23 packages, it is widely used in low-power amplification and switching in consumer electronics, with complementary PNP type S8550.

Features

  • Complementary to S8550 (PNP)
  • 500mA collector current capability
  • Multiple hFE rank options (B, D, D3)
  • Available in TO-92 and SOT-23 packages
  • Low cost, widely sourced

Applications

  • Small-signal audio amplification
  • LED and buzzer driver circuits
  • Low-power switching in consumer electronics
  • Push-pull amplifier with S8550 complement
  • Motor and relay driver in toys and appliances

The S8050 is one of the most widely used general-purpose NPN transistors in consumer electronics, offering 25V collector-emitter voltage and 500mA continuous collector current. It is the complementary NPN pair to the S8550 PNP transistor, enabling push-pull and class-AB amplifier designs. Available in both through-hole TO-92 and surface-mount SOT-23 packages, the S8050 comes in multiple hFE ranks (B: 85-160, D: 160-300, D3: 300-400) to match application requirements. Its low cost and universal availability make it a go-to choice for low-power amplification and switching in toys, appliances, and consumer gadgets.

The S8050 is an NPN bipolar junction transistor using epitaxial planar silicon construction. Current flow from collector to emitter is controlled by the base current multiplied by the DC current gain (hFE). In the active region, the transistor amplifies signals with gain determined by the hFE rank (85-400). In saturation mode, VCE drops below 0.6V at 500mA, enabling efficient switching. The 150MHz transition frequency provides adequate bandwidth for audio and low-frequency RF applications. Paired with the complementary S8550 PNP transistor, it forms the basis for class-B and class-AB push-pull output stages.
