MANUFACTURER PART RECORD

BC546B

Diotec

BC546B is an onsemi NPN general-purpose transistor — 65 V collector-emitter voltage, 100 mA continuous collector current, DC current gain of 200 to 450 (B rank), 300 MHz transition frequency, TO-92 package, 500 mW dissipation, -55 to +150 °C. The 65 V rating is the selection point: the highest-voltage grade of the BC54x family for high-voltage preamplifier stages and driver circuits. Selection advice: the B suffix sets the gain rank — A is lower and C is higher, so match the full BC546B code to your gain requirement. The PNP complement is the BC556B in the same family for push-pull stages. Evidence: onsemi/NXP BC54x datasheet and distributor listings confirm NPN, 65 V, 100 mA, hFE 200 to 450 (B rank) and TO-92. Match the full BC546B code for gain rank. State quantity, packing and date-code requirements in your RFQ; we reconfirm the offered lot before quotation and reply within 24 hours.

SELECTION GUIDANCE

BC546B selection guidance

BC546B is a NPN transistor from Diotec, orderable in the TO-92 package. The ordering code fixes the exact configuration you receive — package, grade and packing — so procurement starts with matching this code character-for-character against your BOM, not just the base series name.

When you request a quote, include the full ordering code, the target packing format (reel, tube, tray or cut tape), your quantity and any date-code or lot requirements. We reconfirm manufacturer, suffix, package, date code and traceability against the actual offered lot before any commercial quote is issued, and every RFQ gets a reply within 24 hours.

COMMON QUESTIONS

BC546B FAQ

What do the suffixes in BC546B mean?

Every suffix in a manufacturer ordering code identifies one exact orderable device — package, temperature grade, packing format or a revision. BC546B names the TO-92 configuration; a code that differs by even one suffix character may be a different device. Always quote the complete code exactly as it appears on your BOM.

What is the difference between package and packing for BC546B?

The package (TO-92) is the physical form of the device itself. Packing describes how the devices are delivered — reel, tube, tray or cut tape. The same ordering code can ship in different packing formats depending on the lot, so confirm the required packing format when you submit your RFQ.

Can you provide traceability documents for BC546B?

Traceability evidence — lot and date-code information, labels and photos — is confirmed per lot at quotation time, because it depends on the actual lot offered. Tell us which documents your receiving inspection requires when you submit the RFQ, and we will confirm what can be provided for the offered lot.

How do I request a quotation for BC546B?

Add BC546B to your RFQ with the complete ordering code, the manufacturer (Diotec), your quantity, the target packing format and any date-code requirements. We reply to every RFQ within 24 hours.
