The BC547B is a popular NPN bipolar junction transistor (BJT) in a TO-92 package. It is commonly used in amplification and switching applications due to its high current gain and low noise characteristics. The BC547B has a maximum collector current of 100 mA and a power dissipation of 500 mW. It has a voltage rating of 45V and a transition frequency of 150 MHz, making it suitable for low to medium frequency applications. The transistor has three terminals - the emitter, base, and collector - which can be easily identified by the pinout diagram. The BC547B is widely available and cost-effective, making it a versatile choice for a variety of electronic projects
