BC857A,215 Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The BC857A,215 is a PNP general-purpose transistor from Nexperia, designed for low-power switching and amplification applications. It offers a maximum collector-emitter voltage of 45V and a collector current of 100mA, with a typical transition frequency of 100MHz. The DC current gain (hFE) ranges from 125 to 250 at 5V and 2mA, ensuring consistent performance in linear circuits.

 

The transistor features a low saturation voltage of 650mV maximum at 100mA, minimizing power loss in switching applications. Power dissipation is rated at 250mW, with a maximum junction temperature of 150°C. The device is housed in a compact SOT-23 (TO-236AB) surface-mount package, suitable for space-constrained designs.

 

Typical applications include general-purpose switching, signal amplification, and driver stages in consumer electronics, industrial controls, and portable devices. The BC857A,215 is part of the BC857 family and is a complement to the NPN BC847 series.
