BC857C,215 Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The BC857C,215 is a PNP general-purpose bipolar junction transistor from Nexperia USA Inc. It is designed for low-current switching and amplification applications. The transistor features a maximum collector-emitter voltage (VCEO) of 45V and a maximum collector current of 100mA. DC current gain (hFE) is a minimum of 420 at 5V VCE and 2mA IC, ensuring consistent amplification performance.

 

This device is housed in a SOT-23 (TO-236AB) surface-mount package, making it suitable for compact PCB designs. It supports a maximum power dissipation of 250mW and can operate over a junction temperature range of -65°C to +150°C. The transition frequency is typically 100MHz, enabling use in moderate-speed switching circuits.

 

Typical applications include general-purpose switching and linear amplification in consumer, industrial, and automotive electronics. The BC857C is the PNP complement to the NPN BC847C, allowing for complementary circuit topologies.
