BC846AS_R1_00001

Overview

The BC846AS_R1_00001 is an NPN general-purpose transistor manufactured by Panjit International Inc. It utilizes a planar epitaxial silicon design housed in a SOT-363 plastic package. The device supports a collector current of 100mA and operates with a maximum collector-emitter voltage of 65V. Key electrical parameters include a minimum DC current gain (hFE) ranging from 110 to 240 at 2mA, and a transition frequency of 150MHz. Thermal characteristics specify a power dissipation of 150mW and a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance of 338°C/W.

Feature Summary

• NPN epitaxial silicon planar design for general purpose amplifier applications
• Lead-free construction compliant with EU RoHS 2011/65/EU directive
• Green molding compound formulation that is halogen-free per IEC61249 standard

Applications

• General purpose amplifier circuits
• Switching applications requiring low power consumption

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against official documentation to confirm packaging type and compliance status. The suffix indicates packing code, version, and serial number details. Confirm availability through authorized distributors as stock levels fluctuate. Ensure the component meets project requirements for lead-free and halogen-free specifications before procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component for designs requiring a 65V NPN transistor in a compact SOT-363 footprint. Verify that the required hFE range aligns with the 110 to 240 specification at 2mA collector current. Consider the 150mW power dissipation limit when designing thermal management solutions. Ensure the application does not involve life-saving or high-reliability equipment due to manufacturer disclaimers.

Part Context

This part belongs to the BC846 series of NPN general-purpose transistors produced by Panjit International Inc. The 'AS' designation typically denotes specific electrical binning or performance characteristics within the series. The R1 suffix indicates a tape and reel packaging format on a 7-inch reel. This component serves as a standard discrete semiconductor solution for consumer and industrial electronics.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements must match the SOT-363 package, 65V VCEO rating, and 100mA IC capability. Verify pinout compatibility and hFE ranges. Cross-reference datasheets for equivalent parts from other manufacturers to ensure functional interchangeability in the target circuit design.
