BC857C,235 Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The BC857C,235 is a PNP general-purpose bipolar junction transistor from Nexperia, part of the BC857 series. It features a maximum collector-emitter voltage of 45V and a continuous collector current of 100mA, making it suitable for low-voltage and low-current switching and amplification circuits.

With a DC current gain (hFE) ranging from 420 to 800 at Vce=5V and Ic=2mA, this transistor offers consistent amplification performance. The typical transition frequency of 100MHz enables operation in moderate-frequency applications. The collector-emitter saturation voltage is typically 650mV at Ib=5mA, Ic=100mA.

Housed in a surface-mount SOT23 (TO-236AB) package, the BC857C,235 is designed for automated assembly and space-constrained PCB designs. It has a maximum power dissipation of 250mW and an operating junction temperature range up to 150°C. The complementary NPN transistor is the BC847C.
