BC868-25,115 Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The BC868-25,115 is an NPN medium power transistor from Nexperia, designed for general-purpose switching and amplification in surface-mount applications. It features a maximum collector-emitter voltage (Vceo) of 20V and a continuous collector current (Ic) of 2A, with a peak current capability of 3A. The DC current gain (hFE) is a minimum of 160 at 500mA collector current and 1V collector-emitter voltage, ensuring reliable performance in moderate-load circuits. The collector-emitter saturation voltage (Vce sat) is 600mV maximum at 2A collector current and 200mA base current, contributing to low on-state losses. With a transition frequency (fT) of 170MHz, it is suitable for high-frequency switching applications. The transistor can dissipate up to 500mW of power, with a maximum junction temperature of 150°C. It is housed in a TO-243AA (SOT-89) surface-mount package, which features an exposed heatsink for improved thermal and electrical conductivity. Typical applications include linear voltage regulators, power management circuits, low-side switches, MOSFET drivers, and battery-powered devices. The part is RoHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, though these compliance statuses are unverified and should be confirmed from official sources.
