BC846BS_R1_00001

Overview

The BC846BS_R1_00001 is a single NPN general-purpose transistor manufactured by Panjit International Inc. It utilizes an epitaxial silicon planar design housed in a SOT-363 plastic case. The device supports a collector-emitter voltage of 65V and a continuous collector current of 100mA, with a maximum power dissipation of 250mW. Electrical characteristics include a DC current gain (hFE) ranging from 200 to 450 at IC=2mA and VCE=5V for the 'A' suffix variant, while the standard version specifies a minimum hFE of 200. Operating temperatures range from -55°C to +150°C.

Feature Summary

• NPN epitaxial silicon planar design
• General purpose amplifier applications
• Lead-free construction compliant with EU RoHS 2.0
• Green molding compound per IEC 61249 standard

Applications

• General purpose amplifier circuits

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against official documentation to confirm packaging orientation and reel size. The R1 suffix indicates Tape and Reel packing on a 7-inch plastic reel. Confirm compliance requirements such as RoHS 2.0 and IEC 61249 green compound standards during sourcing. Ensure the lot number is recorded for tracking purposes if quality issues arise.

Selection Notes

Select this component for low-power general-purpose amplification tasks requiring a single NPN configuration. The 65V breakdown voltage and 100mA current rating suit small signal applications. Verify that the 250mW power dissipation limit accommodates the thermal environment. Compare hFE ranges against circuit biasing requirements to ensure adequate gain margins.

Part Context

This part belongs to the BC846 series of NPN general-purpose transistors produced by Panjit. It shares the same mechanical footprint and electrical architecture as the complementary BC847AS PNP counterpart within the same datasheet. The R1 suffix specifically defines the tape and reel packaging format with a 7-inch reel size.
