BC859B,215 Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The BC859B,215 is a PNP general purpose bipolar junction transistor manufactured by Nexperia USA Inc. It is designed for low current and low voltage applications, with a maximum collector-emitter voltage of -30V and a maximum collector current of -100mA. The device offers a DC current gain (hFE) range of 220 to 475 at -2mA and -5V, making it suitable for amplification and switching tasks.

 

This transistor is housed in a surface-mount SOT23 (TO-236AB) plastic package, which is ideal for compact PCB designs. It has a total power dissipation of 250mW when mounted on an FR4 printed-circuit board. The BC859B,215 is the B-gain version of the BC859 series and has NPN complements in the BC849 and BC850 families.

 

Typical applications include low noise input stages for audio frequency equipment. The device is rated for an operating junction temperature up to 150°C and has a storage temperature range of -65°C to +150°C.
