BC108 NPN General Purpose Transistor 25V 200mA TO-18 Metal Package

Description

1. NPN Transistor: The BC108 is an NPN type transistor, allowing current to flow from the collector to the emitter when a small current is applied to the base terminal. NPN transistors are commonly used for amplification and switching applications.

2. Low Voltage and Current Ratings: The BC108 has relatively low voltage and current ratings, making it suitable for low-power applications where low current and voltage handling capabilities are required.

3. General Purpose: It is a general-purpose transistor and finds applications in various electronic circuits, including amplifiers, oscillators, and switching circuits, especially in low-power and low-frequency applications.

4. TO-18 Metal Can Package: The TO-18 package is a metal can package with three leads (collector, base, and emitter). It provides good heat dissipation and mechanical protection, making it suitable for various electronic applications.

5. Amplification and Switching: The BC108 is commonly used in small signal amplifiers, audio amplifiers, and switching circuits where low to moderate current amplification is required.

6. Common Emitter Configuration: The BC108 is typically used in common emitter configuration, which is a common setup for amplification applications. In this configuration, the emitter is the common terminal between the input and output signals.
