BC850C Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The BC850C from NXP Semiconductors is an NPN bipolar junction transistor (BJT) suitable for general-purpose switching and amplification tasks. It is housed in a compact SOT23 surface-mounted device (SMD) plastic package.

Key electrical characteristics include a maximum collector-emitter voltage (VCEO) of 45V 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). Other limiting values include a collector-base voltage (VCBO) of 50V and an emitter-base voltage (VEBO) of 5V.

This transistor operates within a junction temperature range of -65°C to 150°C and has a total power dissipation of 250mW at an ambient temperature of 25°C when mounted on an FR4 PCB. The thermal resistance from junction to ambient (Rth(j-a)) is 500 K/W.

The BC850C is a complementary PNP transistor to the BC860C. Its small package size and general-purpose nature make it suitable for a wide range of electronic circuits.
