BC559C Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The BC559C is a PNP bipolar junction transistor (BJT) from ITT Cannon, suitable for general purpose switching and amplification. It is housed in a TO-92 (SOT54) plastic package with through-hole mounting.

 

Key electrical characteristics include a collector-emitter voltage (VCEO) of -30V and a continuous collector current (IC) of -100mA. The DC current gain (hFE) for the BC559C variant ranges from 420 to 800 under typical test conditions (VCE = -5V, IC = -2mA).

 

This transistor operates within a wide temperature range, from -65°C to +150°C. Its thermal resistance from junction to ambient is 250 K/W when mounted on an FR4 printed-circuit board.

 

The BC559C is designed for various electronic circuits requiring a reliable PNP transistor. Its NPN complement is the BC549.
