Introduction

The BC846B,235 is a NPN, general purpose bipolar transistor used in many applications. It is categorized as a Single Bipolar (BJT) Transistor, and features a maximum collector current of 200mA, a collector-emitter voltage of 80V, and a maximum frequency of 4MHz.

Application fields

Given its comparatively large collector current and collector-lbase voltage, the BC846B,235 is primarily designed for low- and medium-power applications. The transistor can be used for motor control, buzzer circuits, and line drivers, as well as for high-performance amplifier circuits.

Working principle

A bipolar transistor works by having electric current applied, via two different paths, to a semi-conductor material, typically a silicon PN junction. Applying electric current from one path (the base) will activate the transistor, while electric current from a second path (the collector) will increase the amount of current flowing through the device.

Conclusion

The BC846B,235 is an NPN general purpose transistor, characterized by a maximum collector current of 200mA, a collector-emitter voltage of 80V, and a maximum frequency of 4MHz. The transistor is primarily designed for low- and medium-power applications such as motor control, buzzer circuits, line drivers, and high-performance amplifier circuits, and it works via electric current being applied, via two different paths, to a semi-conductor material.
