Transistor NPN bc 107

🛠️ NPN Transistor – BC107 (TO‑18 Metal Can)

Overview

The BC107 is a low-noise, general-purpose NPN transistor housed in a TO‑18 metal can package. Suited for audio amplifiers, signal switching, and sensor circuits, it’s favored for its superior frequency response and relatively high gain.

Key Features

  • Collector current: up to 100 mA

  • Collector–Emitter voltage (V<sub>CEO</sub>): 45 V

  • Low noise – ideal for audio and signal applications

  • DC current gain (h<sub>FE</sub>): typically 110–450, depending on variant (A/B/C)

  • Transition frequency (fₜ): ~150 MHz

  • Compact TO‑18 metal can package

Arduino GPIO → 1 kΩ resistor → Base Emitter → GND Collector → LED → +5 V

Use a flyback diode for inductive loads like relays. This setup allows control of the LED using simple Arduino commands (digitalWrite() or analogWrite()).

Applications

  • Audio pre-amplifiers and sensors

  • Switching small loads and driving LEDs

  • Signal amplification

  • Oscillator and timing circuits

  • General low-power electronic circuits
