BC848AMTF

Overview

The BC848AMTF is an NPN epitaxial silicon transistor from the BC846-BC850 series, manufactured by onsemi. It features a collector-emitter voltage of 30V and a continuous collector current of 100mA. The device operates with a maximum power dissipation of 310mW at 25°C and supports junction temperatures up to 150°C. It utilizes an SOT-23 surface-mount package and includes DC current gain (hFE) classification 'A' ranging from 110 to 220.

Feature Summary

• NPN epitaxial silicon planar design suitable for switching and amplifier applications
• Low noise characteristics optimized for signal processing
• Automated assembly compatible with thick and thin-film circuits

Applications

• General purpose switching
• Amplifier applications
• Thick and thin-film circuit insertion

Procurement Notes

Verify the manufacturer origin, as Fairchild Semiconductor was acquired by onsemi. Confirm the specific hFE binning corresponds to the 'A' classification (110-220). Ensure the ordering suffix matches the required tape and reel packaging format for automated production lines.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-voltage NPN transistor with moderate gain is required. The BC848 variant provides a 30V rating, distinguishing it from higher voltage siblings like the BC847 or BC846. The 'A' suffix ensures a specific gain range suitable for consistent amplification performance in general-purpose designs.

Part Context

This part belongs to the widely used BC846 through BC850 family of small-signal transistors. These devices share identical pinouts and mechanical dimensions but differ in breakdown voltages and noise specifications. The BC848 specifically targets applications requiring a 30V collector-emitter rating.

Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include the BC848BMTF and BC848CMTF from the same series, which offer different DC current gain classifications while maintaining identical electrical ratings and package configurations.
