BC548C_J35Z

Single Bipolar Transistors Overview

The BC548C_J35Z is an NPN silicon small-signal bipolar junction transistor manufactured by onsemi. It features a collector-emitter breakdown voltage of 30V and a maximum continuous collector current of 100mA. The device is housed in a TO-92 (CASE 29-11) three-pin through-hole package with a maximum power dissipation of 500mW. The 'C' suffix indicates a high DC current gain bin, typically ranging from 420 to 800 at 2mA collector current. The component operates within a junction temperature range of -55°C to +150°C.

Single Bipolar Transistors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific J35Z marking code against official onsemi documentation to confirm it corresponds to the BC548C electrical specifications. Ensure the TO-92 package variant matches the required mechanical footprint. Confirm RoHS compliance status as per the latest manufacturer datasheet before integration into regulated designs.

Single Bipolar Transistors Selection Notes

Select this component when a high-gain NPN transistor is required for low-current amplification tasks. The BC548C offers superior hFE consistency compared to standard variants. Consider the TO-92 package constraints for thermal management in enclosed spaces. Verify that the 30V breakdown voltage meets the circuit's peak voltage requirements.

Single Bipolar Transistors Part Context

This part belongs to the widely used BC546/BC547/BC548 series of general-purpose NPN transistors. The BC548 variant specifically provides higher current gain than its BC546 and BC547 counterparts. The J35Z suffix likely denotes a specific tape-and-reel or bulk packaging configuration defined by onsemi for automated assembly processes.
