The BC857ALT1G is a high-quality PNP bipolar junction transistor (BJT) from ON Semiconductor, a leading manufacturer in the semiconductor industry. This small signal transistor is designed for general-purpose amplification and switching applications and is known for its reliability and performance in a wide range of electronic circuits.
Key Features
- Transistor Polarity: PNP - This means that the majority charge carriers are holes, making it suitable for positive signal amplification.
- Collector-Emitter Voltage (VCEO): 45 V - The maximum voltage that can be applied from the collector to the emitter while keeping the base terminal open.
- Collector Current (IC): Up to 100 mA - The maximum continuous current that can flow through the collector of the transistor.
- Power Dissipation (Pd): 250 mW - The amount of power that the transistor can dissipate without exceeding its maximum operating temperature.
- DC Current Gain (hFE): 100 - 600 - A measure of the transistor's ability to amplify the base current.
- Operating and Storage Junction Temperature Range: -55°C to +150°C - Ensures stable operation across a wide range of environmental conditions.
- Package / Case: SOT-23-3 - A compact surface-mount package that saves space on printed circuit boards (PCBs).
