BC214 Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The BC214 is a PNP general purpose amplifier transistor designed for applications requiring collector currents up to 300mA. It features a maximum collector-emitter voltage (VCEO) of -30V, continuous collector current (IC) of -500mA, and power dissipation of 625mW. The DC current gain (hFE) is a minimum of 140 at VCE = -5V and IC = -2mA, with a typical transition frequency (fT) of 200MHz. The component also offers a low noise figure of 2dB typical and a small signal current gain (hfe) range of 140 to 600.

 

Packaged in a through-hole TO-92-3 (TO-226AA) case, the BC214 operates over a junction temperature range of -55°C to 150°C. The thermal resistance from junction to ambient is 200°C/W, and to case is 83.3°C/W. The device is listed as RoHS3 compliant, though this status is unverified.

 

Typical applications include audio amplification, signal switching, and driver stages. The datasheet, originally from Fairchild Semiconductor, confirms the specifications and design intent for use as general purpose amplifiers and switches.
