onsemi Single Bipolar Transistors BC212

The BC212 is a PNP general purpose bipolar transistor designed for amplifier applications with collector currents up to 300 mA. It is packaged in a TO-92-3 case with a total device dissipation of 625 mW, a collector-emitter voltage rating of 50 V, and a collector current limit of 300 mA. The transistor has a DC current gain (hFE) ranging from 40 to 60 under specified conditions, a collector-emitter saturation voltage of up to 0.6 V, and a base-emitter saturation voltage of up to 1.4 V. Operating and storage junction temperatures range from -55 °C to 150 °C. The device meets thermal derating of 5.0 mW/°C above 25 °C and has a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance of 200 °C/W when mounted on a standard FR-4 PCB. It complies with industry standards for operational reliability under steady-state conditions.
