BC856A-7-F Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The BC856A-7-F is a PNP small-signal transistor manufactured by Diodes Incorporated, designed for switching and AF amplifier applications. It is housed in a compact SOT23-3 surface-mount package, making it suitable for automatic insertion in high-volume assembly processes.

 

Key electrical specifications include a maximum collector-emitter voltage (VCEO) of -65V, a maximum collector-base voltage (VCBO) of -80V, and a maximum continuous collector current (IC) of -100mA. The device offers a DC current gain (hFE) of 125 minimum at 2mA collector current and 5V collector-emitter voltage, with a typical transition frequency (fT) of 200 MHz. The maximum power dissipation is 300 mW.

 

The transistor is fully RoHS3 compliant, lead-free, and halogen and antimony free, meeting green device standards. It is rated for a junction temperature range of -65°C to 150°C and has a Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) of 1 per J-STD-020, indicating unlimited floor life. The package terminals are finished with matte tin for excellent solderability.
