BC556CTA Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The BC556CTA is a PNP bipolar junction transistor manufactured by On Semiconductor, designed for general purpose switching and amplification applications. It features a collector-emitter breakdown voltage of 65V, a collector current rating of 100mA, and a power dissipation of 500mW. The DC current gain (hFE) is guaranteed at least 420 under test conditions of 2mA collector current and 5V collector-emitter voltage. The saturation voltage (Vce(sat)) is a maximum of 650mV at 5mA base current and 100mA collector current. With a transition frequency of 150MHz, the device is suitable for low to medium frequency circuits. The transistor is housed in a through-hole TO-92-3 package (TO-226-3) with formed leads, enabling easy mounting on breadboards or PCBs. The maximum junction temperature is 150°C. The BC556CTA is listed as RoHS3 compliant with an MSL of 1 (unlimited), though these compliance levels are unverified. This transistor is a common choice for audio amplifiers, switching circuits, and signal processing applications.
