Product Overview
The BC547B is a general-purpose NPN bipolar junction transistor in a TO-92 package. With 45V VCEO, 100mA IC, and 300MHz fT, it is widely used in European and international designs for small-signal amplification and low-power switching. The B suffix indicates hFE classification of 200-450.
