BC817-40W,115-CN

Component

NPN transistorSOT-32345 V500 mAhFE 250 to 600

BC817-40W,115-CN is a 3-pin SOT-323 NPN transistor with 45 V VCEO, 500 mA continuous collector-current rating, and hFE classification of 250 to 600.

Best for

  • General AF transistor stages
  • Low-power switching within the stated voltage and current limits
  • Compact SOT-323 designs

Avoid if

  • Compliance documentation such as RoHS or REACH is mandatory and cannot be separately verified
  • The design requires collector dissipation above 200 mW
  • A guaranteed high-current gain at 500 mA is required

Check before use

  • Confirm the SOT-323 pinout: base pin 1, emitter pin 2, collector pin 3
  • At 500 mA, use sufficient base drive; VCE(sat) is specified up to 0.70 V at IB = 50 mA
  • Review PCB thermal conditions against the 625 °C/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance
