BC858C-TP

Overview

The BC858C-TP is a PNP bipolar junction transistor manufactured by Micro Commercial Components. It features a maximum collector-emitter voltage of 30 V and a continuous collector current of 100 mA. The device operates within a temperature range of -55°C to 150°C and has a maximum power dissipation of 200 mW. It utilizes an SOT-23 surface-mount package.

Feature Summary

• PNP signal transistor configuration
• SOT-23 surface-mount packaging
• Wide operating temperature range

Applications

• General-purpose switching applications
• Signal amplification circuits
• Low-power electronic devices

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet for the BC858C-TP variant, as MCC product lines often share the BC858 family designation. Confirm RoHS compliance status and ensure the ordering suffix matches the required tape-and-reel or cut-tape format. Cross-reference with official MCC documentation to validate pinout and electrical limits before integration.

Selection Notes

Select this component for designs requiring a compact PNP switch with moderate current handling capabilities. The SOT-23 package suits space-constrained PCB layouts. Ensure the application voltage remains below the 30 V breakdown limit and that thermal management supports the 200 mW dissipation rating under expected load conditions.

Part Context

This part belongs to the BC858 series of small-signal transistors from Micro Commercial Components. It is functionally similar to other industry-standard PNP transistors in the same voltage and current class. The 'TP' suffix typically denotes the specific packaging type offered by MCC for this component line.
