BC857CT-7-F

Diodes Incorporated · Bipolar Transistors - BJT · SOT-523

BC857CT-7-F from Diodes Incorporated, in a SOT-523. 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 input Base terminal (bottom-left in top view); emitter-base voltage is limited to -6 V (VEBO).
2 E passive Emitter terminal (bottom-right in top view) of the PNP transistor; the emitter-base breakdown voltage BVEBO is -6 V minimum.
3 C passive Collector terminal (top in top view); rated for VCEO -45 V, VCBO -50 V and IC -100 mA.

As the datasheet states them (page.json metadata.appearance; the 3D model's colours follow it).

CAD (KiCad official)

  • Symbol: BC857CT-7-F
  • Footprint: Package_TO_SOT_SMD:SOT-523
  • 3D model: SOT-523, generated from the KiCad footprint (body from the F.Fab outline, terminals on the pads, 0.8 mm nominal SOT-523 height). Neither the vendor nor KiCad ships a 3D model for this package, so the dimensions are nominal, not the manufacturer's CAD (STEP)
  • 3D model files: bc857ct-7-f-etched.step / bc857ct-7-f-etched.glb carry the MPN laser-etched on the die in a toggleable Adom.LaserEtch group (Fusion-ready); bc857ct-7-f.step / bc857ct-7-f.glb are the bare package body.
