The BC108 is general-purpose low power silicon transistors. It is low power silicon NPN bipolar junction transistors. It is mostly used the transistor in almost all types of electronics projects and equipment. BC106 and BC107 are the same as BC108.
The BC547 is a modern low-cost member of this family, still in a through-hole package, while the BC847 is the surface-mount version.
