BC846S Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

  • The BC846S can operate safely between -55°C to 150°C, but the recommended operating temperature range is -40°C to 125°C for optimal performance.

  • To ensure proper biasing, the base-emitter voltage (VBE) should be around 0.65-0.7V, and the collector-emitter voltage (VCE) should be around 1-2V. Additionally, the base current should be limited to prevent overheating.

  • The maximum collector current (IC) rating for the BC846S is 100mA, and the maximum peak current rating is 150mA. Exceeding these ratings can lead to device failure.

  • To protect the BC846S from ESD, handle the device by the body or use an anti-static wrist strap. Store the device in an anti-static bag or wrap it in anti-static material. Avoid touching the device's pins or leads.

  • Yes, the BC846S can be used in switching applications, but it's essential to ensure the device is properly biased and the switching frequency is within the recommended range (up to 100 kHz). Exceeding the recommended frequency can lead to device overheating.
