BC848C

Overview

The BC848C is a small-signal NPN bipolar junction transistor manufactured by Diotec Semiconductor. It features a maximum collector-emitter voltage of 30 V and a continuous collector current rating of 100 mA. The device operates with a transition frequency of 300 MHz and dissipates up to 250 mW of power. It is housed in an SOT-23 surface-mount package and supports a junction temperature range from -55°C to 150°C.

Feature Summary

• High-frequency operation suitable for general-purpose switching and amplification
• Compact surface-mount packaging for space-constrained designs
• Wide operating temperature range for industrial reliability

Applications

• General-purpose signal amplification circuits
• Low-power switching applications
• Audio pre-amplifier stages

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific manufacturer lot and RoHS compliance status against the latest Diotec Semiconductor datasheet before integration. Confirm that the SOT-23 pinout matches the target PCB footprint design requirements. Ensure storage conditions adhere to moisture sensitivity level guidelines to prevent package damage during soldering processes.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 30 V NPN transistor with 100 mA capability is required. The 300 MHz transition frequency makes it appropriate for higher-speed logic interfaces compared to lower-frequency alternatives. Consider the SOT-23 package constraints regarding thermal dissipation limits under continuous load conditions.

Part Context

This part belongs to the BC848 series of small-signal NPN transistors. It shares the same electrical characteristics as the BC848B but offers a tighter DC current gain specification. The series is widely used in consumer electronics and industrial control boards where reliable low-power switching is essential.
