BC817 Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The BC817 is an NPN bipolar junction transistor designed for general purpose switching and amplification applications. Manufactured by Nexperia USA Inc., this component features a maximum collector current of 500 mA and a maximum collector-emitter voltage of 45 V.

 

It is housed in a compact SOT-23 plastic package, suitable for surface mounting. The transistor exhibits a typical DC current gain (hFE) of 100 to 600 at 100mA collector current and 1V collector-emitter voltage. Its transition frequency is a minimum of 100 MHz at 10mA collector current and 5V collector-emitter voltage.

 

Key electrical characteristics include a collector-emitter saturation voltage (VCEsat) of 700 mV maximum at 500mA collector current and 50mA base current, and a base-emitter voltage (VBE) of 1.2 V maximum under similar conditions. The operating temperature range is from -65 °C to +150 °C.
