BC817-25-13P

Overview

The BC817-25-13P is a single NPN silicon general-purpose bipolar junction transistor manufactured by Micro Commercial Components. It operates with a maximum collector-emitter voltage of 45V and supports a continuous collector current of 500mA. The device features a DC current gain (hFE) range of 160 to 250 at a collector current of 100mA. It is housed in an SOT-23 surface-mount package, providing a power dissipation capability of 300mW and a transition frequency of 100MHz. The component is qualified for automotive applications under the AEC-Q101 standard.

Feature Summary

• Automotive-grade reliability certified to AEC-Q101 standards
• High DC current gain configuration optimized for signal amplification
• Compact SOT-23 surface-mount footprint for space-constrained designs

Applications

• General-purpose switching circuits
• Signal amplification stages
• Driver circuits for low-power loads

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix -13P against official MCC documentation to confirm packaging details and tape-and-reel specifications. Ensure the ordering part number matches the exact electrical characteristics required for the target application. Cross-reference the datasheet for any updates regarding RoHS compliance or material declarations prior to final procurement decisions.

Selection Notes

Select this component when an NPN transistor with a 45V rating and 500mA current capacity is required in an SOT-23 package. The AEC-Q101 qualification makes it suitable for automotive environments. Compare the hFE binning requirements of the design against the 160-250 gain range to ensure adequate performance margins for the intended amplification or switching tasks.

Part Context

This part belongs to the BC817 series of NPN general-purpose transistors produced by Micro Commercial Components. The series offers various voltage ratings and gain bins packaged in small outline transistor formats. The BC817-25 variant specifically denotes the 45V rating and the standardized gain classification within the broader product family.

Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include the BC817-25HE3-TP from the same manufacturer. Other generic equivalents may be considered if they match the 45V/500mA/SOT-23 specifications and meet AEC-Q101 requirements.
