The BC817BPN is a dual complementary NPN and PNP general-purpose transistor designed for signal processing, switching, and amplification in commercial and industrial applications. This device integrates two complementary transistors in a single SOT-26/SOT-457 SMD package, with each transistor rated for a maximum collector current of 500 mA and collector-emitter voltage of 45 V. Key electrical characteristics include a DC current gain (hFE) ranging from 160 to 400 at VCE = 1 V and IC = 100 mA, a maximum power dissipation of 370 mW (or 600 mW with enhanced thermal management), and a transition frequency of 100 MHz typical. The device operates over a junction temperature range of -55°C to +150°C and features low saturation voltage (0.7 V maximum) and base-emitter voltage (1.2 V maximum), making it suitable for efficient switching and amplification circuits. The BC817BPN is RoHS compliant, halogen-free, and available in standard and AEC-Q101 qualified variants for demanding automotive and industrial applications.
