BC212 Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The BC212 is a PNP general purpose amplifier transistor manufactured by On Semiconductor (formerly Fairchild Semiconductor). It is designed for general purpose amplifier applications at collector currents up to 300mA.

 

Key electrical specifications include a maximum collector-emitter voltage (VCEO) of 50V, collector-base voltage (VCBO) of 60V, and emitter-base voltage (VEBO) of 5V. The continuous collector current is rated at 300mA, with a maximum power dissipation of 625mW. The DC current gain (hFE) is a minimum of 60 at VCE=5V and IC=2mA, and 40 at IC=10µA, ensuring consistent amplification.

 

Thermally, the device can operate over a junction temperature range of -55°C to 150°C, with a junction-to-case thermal resistance of 83.3°C/W and junction-to-ambient of 200°C/W. The transistor is housed in a through-hole TO-92-3 package (TO-226-3), making it suitable for breadboarding and prototyping.
