BC547B (TO-92 Package) - NPN Bipolar Junction Transistor

By -
BC547B is an NPN bipolar junction transistor (BJT) with a high DC current gain value of 200 to 450, where this value determines the amplification capacity of the transistor. The BC547B is very much similar to the commonly used NPN transistor 2N2222. It can allow a maximum collector current of 100mA, Base-Emitter voltage is 6V, and has a power dissipation of 500mW in a small TO-92 package. Usually, BC547B can be used as a switch or as an amplifier.

Before using the BC547B transistor in a project circuit, you should know the pinout configuration, technical specifications, equivalent, applications, and safely long run tips. So, here is the detailed information about BJT BC547B.

Safely Long Run Tips

To get the best performance with a BC547B transistor, you should not drive the load more than 100mA, and the collector-emitter voltage of the transistor must in under 45V. Use a suitable base resistor (RB), which provides the required current at the base of the BC547B transistor. The value for this resistor can be calculated using the formula: RB = VEB / IB. Where, the value of VEB should be 6V for BC547b, and the Base current (IB depends on the Collector current (IC). The value of IB should not exceed mA. Also, you should not operate this transistor below -65 °C and above +150 °C.

In this post, you are going to learn about switched-mode power supply (SMPS), circuit diagram, block diagram with working principle, and much more. Contents [ hide ] What is an SMPS? A switched-mode power supply or in short SMPS is a power supply circuit that converts mains power using switching devices that are turned on and off at high frequencies, and storage components such as inductors or capacitors to supply power efficiently for the load. Why Switched-mode power supply (SMPS) Used Simple DC power supplies can be made with rectifiers followed by filter stages. But they suffer from the changes in the input or, at load. This initiated the development of a linear regulator (series/shunt) circuits. They maintain a constant voltage by varying their resistance to counterbalance input voltage change or, load current demand change. Still, the efficiency of these systems is poor, they are heavy and not flexible enough to be chosen for every application

A compact fluorescent lamp or CFL Bulb , also known to us compact fluorescent light , energy-saving light , and compact fluorescent tube . Fluorescent lamps and CFLs are very similar, just a compact version of a fluorescent lamp with a compact electronic ballast in the base of the lamp that is smaller and easier to install. One of the biggest advantages of a CFL Bulb is its low energy consumption, which also produces less heat, has a much higher lifetime compared to incandescent or halogen lamps, and produces pleasant light. Incandescent lamps replacing with CFLs result in cost-efficient in terms of electricity bills that together with its long life offset the higher purchase price of the lamp. But, do you know how does it work, construction of CFL Bulb, ballast circuit diagram? Let's learn about the CFL bulb and Ballast circuit diagram with working explanation.
