MMBT5179

onsemi · Bipolar (BJT) · SOT-23

MMBT5179 from onsemi, 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 input Base; ratings are VEBO 2.5 V max and V(BR)EBO 2.5 V min at IE = 10 µA.
2 E passive Emitter; the datasheet gives VEBO 2.5 V max and IC 50 mA continuous.
3 C passive Collector; VCEO 12 V, VCBO 20 V and IC 50 mA continuous maximum.
