BC846B Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The BC846B is an NPN epitaxial silicon bipolar transistor from On Semiconductor, designed for switching and amplifier applications. It features a maximum collector-emitter voltage of 65V and a collector current rating of 100mA. The device offers a DC current gain (hFE) of 200 minimum at 2mA collector current and 5V collector-emitter voltage (B classification), with a transition frequency of 100 MHz typical.

 

Packaged in a surface-mount SOT-23-3 package (also available as TO-236-3 and SC-59), the BC846B is suitable for automatic insertion in thick and thin-film circuits. It operates over a junction temperature range of -65°C to 150°C and has a maximum power dissipation of 310mW at 25°C ambient temperature (per datasheet). The transistor is a complement to the PNP types BC856, BC857, BC858, BC859, and BC860.

 

This component is RoHS3 compliant (unverified) and has an MSL rating of 1 (unlimited). It is commonly used in general-purpose switching, signal amplification, and as a driver in low-power circuits.
