BC848 NPN transistor equivalent

<< < (2/2)

John Swift:
Hi Ian ,

I would expect the BC107 or BC107B  to be OK

in fact almost any low power silicon npn transistor is likely to work

take a look at the " universal npn transistors "  used by Elektor magazine in their simple projects

 search for   " TUN TUP DUS DUN "

Hello John
the following links may be useful for future lookup
http://www.datasheetcatalog.com/datasheets_pdf/B/C/8/4/BC848.shtml
many other data sheets available here.

Cover a large range, if you are looking for a Japanese transistor starting C****
then add 2S in fron making 2SC****
When choosing a substitute try to match or better the characteristics.
If it is for very high frequency( 10meg hertz plus) work then some times only a correct replacement will work satisfactory, but this is rare.
I am sure other folk may have other opinions, but I have found this approach works for me.

John Swift:
Hi Trev ,

thanks for the info
two usefull links

while a search for data for a transistor very often links to datasheetcataloge.com 

the talking electronics page is one i've missed

the link to philips and the smd marking data I've just downloaded
until now I had no idea what a  2BJ transistor was
my DCA55 component analyser is good , but it does not give part numbers!!!    (its a BC849b by the way)

yes you are right , japanese transistor numbers only make sence if you know they don't print the 2S prefix
on the part
