# BC857C

**hongjiacheng** · Bipolar (BJT) · SOT-23

BC857C from hongjiacheng, in a SOT-23. 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 | B | passive | Base terminal of the BC857C PNP transistor, with emitter-base voltage limited to -5.0 V (VEBO) and collector current limited to -0.1 A. |
| 2 | E | passive | Emitter terminal of the BC857C PNP transistor, with emitter-base voltage limited to -5.0 V (VEBO) at IE = -10 µA. |
| 3 | C | passive | Collector terminal of the BC857C PNP transistor, rated for a collector-emitter voltage of -45 V (VCEO), a collector-base voltage of -50 V (VCBO), and a collector current of -0.1 A. |

## CAD (KiCad official)

- Symbol: `BC857C`
- Footprint: `Package_TO_SOT_SMD:SOT-23`
- 3D model: SOT-23 (KiCad packages3D, STEP)
- 3D model files: `bc857c-etched.step` / `bc857c-etched.glb` carry the MPN laser-etched on the die in a toggleable `Adom.LaserEtch` group (Fusion-ready); `bc857c.step` / `bc857c.glb` are the bare package body.
