Description
PACK OF 100 PIECES
The BC557C is a PNP bipolar junction transistor (BJT) packaged in the widely used TO-92 casing. This transistor is designed to handle collector currents up to 100mA, making it a suitable choice for low-power applications. It can withstand collector-to-emitter voltages of up to 45V, offering versatility in a range of electronic circuit implementations. A distinctive feature of the BC557C is its high current gain, with an hFE (current amplification factor) ranging from 420 to 800. This high gain is particularly advantageous for applications requiring significant signal amplification. The BC557C is commonly used in general-purpose amplification and switching operations, especially in scenarios where moderate voltage and low current are involved. The TO-92 package is a standard through-hole mounting design, popular for its ease of use in various electronic assemblies. The BC557C transistor is often utilized in applications such as audio amplifiers, signal processing circuits, and control systems, where reliable and efficient amplification is essential.
