Procurement Notes

Verify availability status carefully as the BF862 is listed as No Longer Manufactured. Confirm that the specific suffix 215 corresponds to the standard tape reel packing information described in official documentation. Ensure compatibility with existing designs before sourcing from secondary markets.

Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring a symmetrical JFET in a compact SOT23 footprint. The interchangeable drain and source configuration simplifies layout routing. Verify that the discontinued status does not impact long-term supply requirements for the target product lifecycle.

Part Context

The BF862 belongs to the N-channel junction FET category within NXP's discrete semiconductor portfolio. It is designed for RF and analog switching applications where symmetry and low noise are beneficial. The SOT23 package allows for automated surface-mount assembly processes.

Replacement Considerations

Public confirmed substitute part numbers are not available in the provided documentation. Consider evaluating similar N-channel JFETs from other manufacturers such as Panasonic XP1D874 or Micro Electronics BF245 if functional equivalence is required.
