BC856C Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The BC856C is a PNP general purpose bipolar junction transistor manufactured by Diotec Semiconductor. It features a collector-emitter breakdown voltage (VCEO) of 65V, a collector-base voltage (VCBO) of 80V, and an emitter-base voltage (VEBO) of 5V. The device supports a continuous collector current (IC) of 100mA and a peak collector current (ICM) of 200mA, with a power dissipation (Ptot) of 250mW when mounted on a PCB with 3mm² copper pad per terminal.

 

The BC856C offers a DC current gain (hFE) of 420 to 800 at VCE=5V and IC=2mA, with a typical value of 520. The maximum VCE saturation voltage is 500mV at IC=100mA and IB=5mA for commercial grade. The transistor operates over a junction temperature range of -55°C to 150°C and has a transition frequency of 100MHz.

 

This transistor is suitable for signal processing, switching, and amplification applications. It is available in a surface-mount SOT-23 package (also known as TO-236-3 or SC-59) with a marking code of 3C. The device is compliant with RoHS, REACH, and Conflict Minerals regulations, and has a moisture sensitivity level (MSL) of 1.

 

The BC856C is part of the BC856 series and is the commercial grade version (suffix -C). It is supplied in tape and reel packaging with 3000 pieces per 7-inch reel. The complementary NPN transistor is the BC846 series.
