The Nexperia BC846B,215 is a single NPN general-purpose Bipolar Transistor in a three-pin SOT-23 (TO-236AB) package. It is rated at 65 V collector-emitter voltage, 80 V collector-base and 6 V emitter-base, with 100 mA maximum collector current and 250 mW power dissipation. Its gain group gives a minimum hFE of 110 and collector-emitter saturation voltage is 200 mV. Operating temperature spans -65 degrees C to 150 degrees C, and Nexperia lists the part as RoHS compliant and in Production.

The 65 V collector-emitter rating of the BC846 makes it the choice where supply rails, inductive kickback or transient headroom push past the 45 V limit of the more common small-signal parts, for instance behind 48 V telecom and industrial rails or unregulated supplies. Typical roles are small load and LED switching, signal amplification, and bias or current-source stages. The -65 degrees C to 150 degrees C span suits assemblies with wide ambient requirements in industrial and vehicle electronics.
