BC559CTA Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The BC559CTA is a PNP bipolar junction transistor manufactured by ON Semiconductor. It features a collector-emitter breakdown voltage of 30V and a maximum collector current of 100mA, making it suitable for low-power switching and amplification applications.

 

With a DC current gain (hFE) of 420 minimum at 2mA collector current and 5V Vce, this transistor provides consistent amplification in linear circuits. Its maximum collector-emitter saturation voltage is 650mV at 5mA base current and 100mA collector current, ensuring low on-state losses. The transition frequency of 150MHz supports moderate-speed switching and RF signal processing.

 

The BC559CTA comes in a through-hole TO-92-3 package (TO-226-3, formed leads), ideal for prototyping and low-volume production. It can dissipate up to 500mW and operates at a maximum junction temperature of 150°C, providing reliable performance in ambient environments.

 

This device is ROHS3 compliant and unaffected by REACH, though compliance data has not been independently verified. The BC559CTA is commonly used in general purpose switching, audio preamplifiers, and signal amplification stages in consumer and industrial electronics.
