Description

NPN Silicon Epitaxial Planar Transistor for switching and AF amplifier application.

BC547 has an NPN structure and uses positive voltage to control current. Applying a positive voltage between the base and emitter allows regulating the current flow between the base and collector. This allows you to amplify small signals or perform switching tasks.

These transistors are subdivided into three groups A, B and C according to their current gain.

In an NPN transistor, the current flows from the emitter to the collector. To turn on the transistor, a small current is applied to the base, which allows a larger current to flow from the collector to the emitter. The base region of an NPN transistor is doped with a material that has fewer electrons than the emitter or collector regions.

The BC547 has characteristics suitable for low-voltage and low-current circuits, typically handling small currents of 100 mA or less. It is used in audio amplification circuits, signal conversion circuits, switching circuits, etc.

Absolute Maximum Ratings

Absolute-Maximum-Ratings

Maximum ratings are those values beyond which device damage can occur.
Maximum ratings applied to the device are individual stress limit values (not
normal operating conditions) and are not valid simultaneously. If these limits
are exceeded, device functional operation is not implied, damage may occur
and reliability may be affected.
