The KEC BC550C is an NPN bipolar junction transistor (BJT) designed for general-purpose applications. It features low current capabilities, with a maximum collector current of 100 mA, and low voltage ratings, with a maximum collector-emitter voltage of 45 V.
This transistor is particularly well-suited for low noise stages in audio frequency equipment. It is housed in a TO-92 or SOT54 plastic package, designed for through-hole mounting.
Key electrical characteristics include a DC current gain (hFE) ranging from 420 to 800 at 2 mA, and a transition frequency (fT) of 100 MHz. The device also offers low noise figure performance.
Its complementary PNP transistors are the BC559 and BC560. The BC550C is a reliable choice for audio amplification and signal processing circuits where low noise and moderate voltage/current handling are required.
