BC817-16B5000

Overview

The BC817-16B5000 is a general-purpose NPN bipolar junction transistor manufactured by Infineon Technologies. It features a maximum collector current of 500 mA and a collector-emitter voltage rating of 45 V. The device operates with a transition frequency of 170 MHz and has a maximum power dissipation of 330 mW. It utilizes an SMT P-SC74-6-1 package, indicating a dual configuration within the BC817 family.

Feature Summary

• Dual NPN transistor configuration in a compact surface-mount package
• High DC current gain range for signal amplification applications
• Low saturation voltage for efficient switching performance

Applications

• General purpose signal amplification
• Switching circuits
• Logic level translation

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix B5000 against official Infineon documentation to confirm tape-and-reel specifications and binning details. Ensure the ordering part number matches the exact electrical characteristics required for the design. Cross-reference the package type PG-SC74-6-1 with PCB footprint libraries to guarantee mechanical compatibility during procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual NPN configuration is required in a small outline package. The 45 V rating suits low-voltage logic interfaces. Verify that the 500 mA continuous current capability meets load requirements. Consider thermal management for the 330 mW dissipation limit in enclosed designs.

Part Context

This part belongs to the BC817 series of general-purpose NPN transistors. The BC817U datasheet confirms the dual nature of the SC74-6 package variant. The BC817K series provides single-transistor alternatives in SOT-23 packages. This component serves as a standard discrete solution for analog and digital switching tasks.

Replacement Considerations

BC817U serves as a direct functional equivalent within the same dual-package family. Single-transistor variants like BC817K40E6433HTMA1 require circuit redesign due to pinout differences.
