BC846A,215 Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The BC846A,215 is an NPN bipolar junction transistor designed for general-purpose switching and amplification applications. It features a maximum collector-emitter voltage of 65V and a continuous collector current of 100mA. The transistor offers a DC current gain (hFE) of at least 110 at 2mA collector current and 5V Vce, with a low saturation voltage of 400mV at 100mA. With a transition frequency of 100MHz, it is suitable for low-frequency amplification and switching circuits. The device is housed in a surface-mount SOT-23-3 package (TO-236AB), making it ideal for compact PCB designs. Power dissipation is rated at 250mW, and the junction temperature can reach up to 150°C. The BC846A,215 is RoHS compliant and has an MSL of 1 (unlimited).
