BC848CW

MSKSEMI · Bipolar (BJT) · SOT-323

BC848CW from MSKSEMI, in a SOT-323. Pinout and pin descriptions extracted from the manufacturer datasheet (extract_pins, cross-checked by a second model); symbol, footprint, and 3D from KiCad-official CAD.

Pinout

Pin Name Type Function
1 BASE input Base terminal of the NPN transistor; for the BC848W family the datasheet lists VEBO of 5 V maximum and a collector current of 0.1 A continuous.
2 EMITTER passive Emitter terminal of the NPN transistor; for the BC848W the datasheet lists an emitter-base voltage (VEBO) of 5 V maximum.
3 COLLECTOR passive Collector terminal of the NPN transistor; for the BC848W the datasheet lists VCBO of 30 V and VCEO of 30 V maximum, with 0.1 A continuous collector current and 150 mW collector power dissipation.
