BC546A Description

Short technical summary and product information.

BC546A is an NPN bipolar junction transistor (BJT) manufactured by On Semiconductor. It offers a 65V collector-emitter breakdown voltage and 100mA collector current rating, making it suitable for low-power amplification and switching circuits.

 

The device has a minimum DC current gain (hFE) of 110 at IC=2mA and VCE=5V, and a collector-emitter saturation voltage of 600mV at IC=100mA. Its 300MHz transition frequency enables high-frequency small-signal amplification and fast switching.

 

The BC546A is supplied in a through-hole TO-92-3 package (TO-226AA), which is suitable for conventional PCB assembly. Power dissipation is rated at 500mW, and maximum junction temperature is 150°C.

 

With 65V breakdown voltage, 100mA current capability, and 300MHz fT, this transistor fits general-purpose signal processing, driver stages, and low-power switching applications in through-hole designs.
