BC546B Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The BC546B is a general purpose NPN bipolar junction transistor manufactured by ON Semiconductor. It belongs to the BC546 series which are widely used in signal processing, switching, and amplification circuits. The device is designed for commercial and industrial grade applications.

 

Key electrical characteristics include a collector-emitter breakdown voltage (VCEO) of 65V, collector-base voltage (VCBO) of 80V, and emitter-base voltage (VEBO) of 5V. The continuous collector current rating is 100mA with a peak of 200mA. Power dissipation is rated at 500mW. The DC current gain (hFE) for the B gain group is typically 450 at 2mA/5V with a range of 200 to 800, and typically 400 at 100mA/5V with a range of 200 to 600. The transition frequency is 300MHz.

 

The BC546B is offered in a through-hole TO-92 package (also specified as TO-226-3 Long Body). It is RoHS and REACH compliant, and free from conflict minerals. The maximum junction temperature is 150°C with a storage temperature range of -55°C to +150°C.
