The BC488 is a PNP bipolar transistor designed for general-purpose applications, suitable for use as a small signal switching transistor or a basic power amplifier. It comes in a TO-92 package.
Key electrical specifications include a maximum collector-emitter voltage (VCE) of -60V and a continuous collector current (IC) of -1000mA (-1A). The device features a maximum collector dissipation of 0.625W and a transition frequency (fT) of 150 MHz. The DC current gain (hFE) ranges from 260 to 400, with a maximum value of 400. The maximum base current (IB) is -50mA, and the emitter-base voltage (VBE) is -4V.
This transistor can be used as a simple switching device for low-power loads or as a driver for power transistors due to its gain characteristics. When biased, it allows a maximum current of 1000mA across the collector-emitter junction in saturation. The operating and storage junction temperature range is -55 to +150°C.
Equivalent transistors include BC558, BC557, BC556, and BC136. The BC488 is a cost-effective and easy-to-use component for various low-power switching and amplification tasks.
