Hi. Can any one suggest an alternative/equivalent to a BC848 NPN transistor. Thanks . Ian |

Hi Ian , the transistor is basically a surface mount version of the BC108 if the pcb design makes it possible ,you could try a TO92 plastic NPN transistor like a BC547 or BC548 (can try maplin for this) otherwise try ebay , RS components or farnell for a BC848 what is the transistor used in ,and how many do you need ? I may have one or two SMT transistors that may work John |

Hi johnstij I have some, BC848B. The B suffix is for hfe range, so if yours lacks the suffix they will be perfect. How many do you need ? picclock |

Hi. Thanks for the replies. I'm trying to control the speed of my CNC mill spindle. It runs on Mach 3 software. The circuit i found on the Mach 3 forum converts a PWM signal to analogue 0-10v DC which goes to the motor VFD.Not sure why the circuit specifies a BC848 as he uses a TO92 case transistor built on vero strip board (as I plan to) This link takes you to the document, the circuit is on page 11, http://www.cjh.com.au//PWM%20Spindle%20Control%20using%20Mach3.pdf A copy of the circuit is attached. Thanks Ian |

Hi. Just looked through my small box of transistors and found a BC107 & 107B do you think either of these are suitable. Thanks Ian |
