What is the maximum voltage Vcc (on Collector side) applied on BC547 BJT? in our lecture notes it's usually 12V, but when I try this value it just burns.

Welcome Cantata you are now a full member of the select electronics community since you have passed the initiation ceremony - burning a transistor.What is the maximum voltage Vcc (on Collector side) applied on BC547 BJT? in our lecture notes it's usually 12V, but when I try this value it just burns.
Can you sketch a circuit diagram of how you were using the transistor when you smoked it? There are a few ways of destroying a transistor. Perhaps the three most common are asking it to dissipate more power than it can handle, asking it to withstand more voltage than it can handle (even if little or no current is flowing), or asking it to withstand more current than it can handle (even if little or no voltage appears across it). By far the most common is the first and that is almost certainly what you have done, but it is hard to tell unless we know more about how you were using it.What is the maximum voltage Vcc (on Collector side) applied on BC547 BJT? in our lecture notes it's usually 12V, but when I try this value it just burns.
