Overview

The BC846B is a bipolar made by STMicroelectronics in a SOT-23 package with 3 pins.

PCBKit's library has its KiCad symbol (Transistor_BJT:BC846, from KiCad's library) and its footprint (Package_TO_SOT_SMD:SOT-23, from KiCad's library), ready for a KiCad board. JLCPCB lists it (part C2987756).

Questions

Is there a KiCad symbol and footprint for the BC846B?

Yes. The symbol is Transistor_BJT:BC846 and the footprint Package_TO_SOT_SMD:SOT-23, both drawn on this page. PCBKit places them on a board for you when you design with it.

What package is the BC846B?

SOT-23, with 3 pins. Its footprint is drawn on this page.

Where is the BC846B datasheet?

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

Where can I order the BC846B?

JLCPCB lists it as part C2987756, with 0 in stock; the sellers' links on this page open their listings.

What can replace the BC846B?

Parts like it in the library: the S8050 by hongjiacheng, the SS8050 by hongjiacheng, the MMBT5551 by hongjiacheng and the MMBT5401 by hongjiacheng. Check their datasheets: a part that fits the footprint may still differ in its ratings.
