BC846W Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The BC846W series from NXP Semiconductors comprises surface-mount silicon NPN transistors manufactured using an epitaxial planar process and epoxy molded in a SOT-323 package. These devices are engineered for general-purpose switching and amplifier applications.

Key electrical characteristics include a maximum collector-emitter voltage (VCEO) of 65V and a continuous collector current (IC) of 100mA. The power dissipation (PD) is rated at 250mW, with an operating and storage junction temperature range of -55 to +150°C. The thermal resistance (Theta JA) is 500°C/W.

Electrical specifications detail various parameters such as collector-base breakdown voltage (BVCBO) up to 80V, emitter-base breakdown voltage (BVEBO) of 6.0V, and collector-emitter saturation voltage (VCE(SAT)) as low as 0.25V at 10mA collector current. The DC current gain (hFE) varies depending on the specific variant, with ranges like 110-220 for BC846AW at 2mA collector current.

These transistors are suitable for a wide array of electronic circuits requiring reliable switching and amplification. Their SOT-323 package makes them ideal for space-constrained applications.
