BC856B,215 Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The BC856B,215 is a PNP general-purpose transistor from Nexperia, designed for low-current and low-voltage applications. It features a maximum collector-emitter voltage (VCEO) of 65 V and a continuous collector current of 100 mA, with a peak current capability of 200 mA. The DC current gain (hFE) ranges from 220 to 475 at VCE = 5 V and IC = 2 mA, ensuring consistent performance in switching and amplification circuits.

 

The transistor is housed in a surface-mount SOT-23-3 (TO-236AB) plastic package, suitable for automated assembly. Maximum power dissipation is 250 mW at 25°C ambient on an FR4 PCB, and the operating junction temperature can reach up to 150°C. The transition frequency is 100 MHz, making it suitable for general-purpose switching and amplification up to moderate frequencies.

 

Compliance with RoHS3, REACH, and MSL level 1 is indicated, though these have not been independently verified. The NPN complement is BC846B. This part is commonly used in portable electronics, signal processing, and driver stages.
