BC857ALT1G

onsemi · Bipolar (BJT) · SOT-23

BC857ALT1G 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 BASE input Base terminal of the PNP transistor; the datasheet gives VCE(sat) test conditions at IB = −0.5 mA (IC = −10 mA) and IB = −5.0 mA (IC = −100 mA), and the emitter-base breakdown voltage V(BR)EBO is −5.0 V minimum.
2 EMITTER passive Emitter terminal of the PNP transistor; the emitter-base voltage is rated VEBO −5.0 V, with the continuous collector current limited to −100 mA and peak to −200 mA.
3 COLLECTOR passive Collector terminal of the BC857 PNP transistor; the collector-emitter voltage is rated VCEO −45 V and collector-base voltage VCBO −50 V.
