BC213 PNP Transistor - Classic Small Signal Switching & Amplification

The BC213 is a PNP bipolar junction transistor housed in a TO-92 package, designed for low-power signal amplification and switching applications. It is a longstanding member of the classic BC21x PNP series, commonly used as the complementary counterpart to NPN types like the BC183 in older and modern general-purpose circuits alike.

Functions & Applications

  • PNP Polarity: Complements NPN types like BC183 in push-pull and complementary-symmetry circuits.
  • 30V Vceo Rating: Comfortable headroom for typical low-voltage signal and switching stages.
  • Standard TO-92 Package: Easy through-hole soldering for breadboards and prototyping boards.
  • General-Purpose Design: Works well in audio preamps, driver stages and simple switching circuits.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the complementary NPN transistor for the BC213?
A: The BC213 is typically paired with NPN transistors from the BC18x series, such as the BC183, for complementary-symmetry designs.

Q: Can the BC213 be substituted with a modern equivalent?
A: Yes, the newer BC556/BC557 PNP series is commonly used as a functional substitute in modern designs with very similar electrical characteristics.

Notes

The BC213 is a classic/legacy PNP part from the original BC21x series; for new designs the BC556/BC557 series is often used as a direct functional replacement.

Note: Price refers to one (1) piece. The component is shipped in bulk without individual packaging.
