This is a product manual that introduces two PNP general-purpose transistors: BC859 and BC860
The document is a product specification sheet for the BC859 and BC860 series of PNP general purpose transistors. These devices are housed in plastic surface-mounted SOT23 packages with three leads: base, emitter, and collector. They feature low current capabilities up to 100 mA and low voltage ratings up to 45 V.
| Collector-Emitter Voltage (Max) | -30 V (BC859), 45 V (BC860) |
|---|---|
| Emitter-Base Voltage (Max) | -5 V |
| Collector Current (DC) (Max) | -100 mA |
| Peak Collector Current (Max) | -200 mA |
| Total Power Dissipation | 250 mW |
| Storage Temperature Range | -65 to +150 °C |
They are suitable for low noise input stages of audio frequency equipment.
The complementary NPN transistors are the BC849 and BC850.
The transistors are in a SOT23 plastic surface mounted package.
