Hauppauge, NY USA - March 28, 2006 - Central Semiconductor Corp. announces the release of the CMLT6427E, the world's smallest Darlington transistor. Packaged in the PICOmini™ SOT-563 surface mount case, this new device utilizes 62% less board space, and has a 40% lower profile than the industry standard SOT-23. The CMLT6427E is a 40 Volt, 0.5 Amp NPN Darlington transistor with a low V_CE(SAT) of 0.8V at 50mA and minimum h_FE of 25,000. In addition to meeting all standard specifications, the CMLT6427E offers enhanced specifications for I_CEO, BV_CBO, BV_CES, BV_EBO, V_CE(SAT), and h_FE.

The CMLT6427E is ideal for circuits requiring an efficient small signal amplifier with low saturation voltage and high hFE.

The CMLT6427E is available Bulk Packed or 3,000 pcs on 7" Tape & Reel. Prices for the CMLT6427E start at $0.15 each for 3,000 pcs on a 7" reel. Sample devices are available upon request.
