BC857B,215 Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The Nexperia BC857B,215 is a PNP general-purpose bipolar junction transistor designed for low-voltage, low-current switching and amplification applications. It features a maximum collector-emitter voltage of 45V and a maximum collector current of 100mA, with a peak current capability of 200mA.

 

This transistor offers a DC current gain (hFE) of 220 to 475 at 5V and 2mA, ensuring consistent performance in linear amplification stages. The transition frequency (ft) is typically 100MHz, making it suitable for audio and low-frequency signal processing. The maximum power dissipation is 250mW on an FR4 PCB at 25°C ambient.

 

Housed in a small SOT23 (TO-236AB) surface-mount package, the BC857B is ideal for space-constrained designs. It is the PNP complement to the Nexperia BC847B NPN transistor, enabling complementary circuit topologies. The device is part of the BC857 series, which includes gain group variants BC857A, BC857B, and BC857C.
