Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the complementary PNP part for BC108?
A: The commonly used complementary PNP transistor is the BC178 or BC212, depending on the specific hFE grouping required.

Q: Can the BC108 replace a BC107 or BC109 in an existing circuit?
A: Yes, the BC107, BC108 and BC109 share the same TO-18 package and electrical ratings, differing mainly in hFE grouping, so they are generally interchangeable in most designs.

Notes

This is a classic legacy transistor commonly used to repair vintage audio and industrial equipment; newer designs may prefer modern equivalents like the BC547.
