bc548 datasheet

bc548 datasheet :

This device is designed for use as general purpose amplifiers and switches requiring collector currents to 300 mA. 

Sourced from Process 10. S 

Absolute Maximum Ratings* TA = 25°C 

unless otherwise noted *These ratings are limiting values above which the serviceability of any semiconductor device may be impaired. 

NOTES : 1) These ratings are based on a maximum junction temperature of 150 degrees C. 

2) These are steady state limits. The factory should be consulted on applications involving pulsed or low duty cycle operations. 

Thermal Characteristics TA = 25°C unless otherwise noted Symbol Parameter Value Units VCEO Collector-Emitter Voltage 30 V VCES Collector-Base Voltage 30 V VEBO Emitter-Base Voltage 5.0 V IC Collector Current - Continuous 500 mA TJ, Tstg Operating and Storage Junction Temperature Range -55 to +150 °C
