Overview

The BC546B is a bipolar made by onsemi in a TO-92-3 package with 3 pins. 100mA 110 15nA 300MHz 500mW 600mV 65V NPN TO-92-3 Bipolar (BJT).

PCBKit's library has its KiCad symbol (LibrePCB_Base:BC546, from Librepcb) and its footprint (LibrePCB_Base:TO-92-WIDE_default, from Librepcb), ready for a KiCad board. JLCPCB lists it (part C3201682).

Questions

Is there a KiCad symbol and footprint for the BC546B?

Yes. The symbol is LibrePCB_Base:BC546 and the footprint LibrePCB_Base:TO-92-WIDE_default, both drawn on this page. PCBKit places them on a board for you when you design with it.

What package is the BC546B?

TO-92-3, with 3 pins. Its footprint is drawn on this page.

Where is the BC546B datasheet?

onsemi publishes it: the Datasheet link on this page opens it.

Where can I order the BC546B?

JLCPCB lists it as part C3201682, with 0 in stock; the sellers' links on this page open their listings.

What can replace the BC546B?

Parts like it in the library: the BC547A by onsemi, the BC549B by onsemi, the BC556A by DIOTEC and the BC557C by DIOTEC. Check their datasheets: a part that fits the footprint may still differ in its ratings.
