BC849C Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The BC849C from NXP Semiconductors is an NPN bipolar junction transistor (BJT) designed for general-purpose switching and amplification applications. It is packaged in a small SOT23 surface-mounted device (SMD) plastic package, making it suitable for space-constrained designs.

Key electrical characteristics include a maximum collector-emitter voltage (VCEO) of 30V and a continuous collector current (IC) of up to 100mA. The DC current gain (hFE) is typically 450 under specific test conditions (VCE = 5V, IC = 10µA, Tj = 25°C). The device also offers a low emitter-base voltage (VEBO) of 5V and a peak collector current (ICM) of 200mA.

Thermal considerations include a total power dissipation of 250mW at 25°C ambient temperature when mounted on an FR4 PCB, with a junction temperature limit of 150°C. The thermal resistance from junction to ambient (Rth(j-a)) is typically 500 K/W.

This transistor is AEC-Q101 qualified, indicating its suitability for automotive and other demanding applications. Its PNP complement is the BC859C.
