Found the BC857 at Reichelt, meanwhile, similar low price.
*BUT* :
Looked at the Philips homepage, and it is only the _BC857BS_ that is
a dual transistor. The BC857, BC857A, BC857B, BC857C are just standard
single pnp transistors. I guess it's similar for the npn device. So one
might
double check before ordering a hundred of these ...
The cheap one from elfa, is that really the double (BS) one ??
