BC857W,115 - NEXPERIA

Important notice

Dear Customer,

On 7 February 2017 the former NXP Standard Product business became a new company with the

tradename Nexperia. Nexperia is an industry leading supplier of Discrete, Logic and PowerMOS

semiconductors with its focus on the automotive, industrial, computing, consumer and wearable

application markets

In data sheets and application notes which still contain NXP or Philips Semiconductors references, use

the references to Nexperia, as shown below.

Instead of http://www.nxp.com, http://www.philips.com/ or http://www.semiconductors.philips.com/,

use http://www.nexperia.com

Instead of sales.addresses@www.nxp.com or sales.addresses@www.semiconductors.philips.com, use

salesaddresses@nexperia.com (email)

Replace the copyright notice at the bottom of each page or elsewhere in the document, depending on

the version, as shown below:
