BC856CMTF

The BC856CMTF is a PNP bipolar junction transistor manufactured by ON Semiconductor, designed for general-purpose amplification and switching applications. It features a collector-emitter breakdown voltage of 65 V and a maximum collector current of 100 mA. The transistor provides a minimum DC current gain (hFE) of 420 at a test condition of Ic=2mA and Vce=5V, ensuring good signal amplification capability. The transition frequency is typically 150 MHz, making it suitable for moderate-speed switching circuits. The maximum Vce saturation voltage is 650 mV at Ib=5mA and Ic=100mA.

Power dissipation is rated at 310 mW, with a maximum junction temperature of 150°C. The device is housed in a surface-mount SOT-23-3 package (also known as TO-236-3 or SC-59), which is compact and suitable for high-density PCB designs. The mounting type is surface mount, supporting automated assembly processes.

Compliance information indicates RoHS3 compliant status, REACH unaffected, and MSL level 1 (unlimited), though these are unverified. The BC856CMTF is commonly used in low-power signal processing, audio preamplification, and other general-purpose transistor circuits where a PNP device with moderate voltage and current ratings is required. Designers should verify the latest datasheet for accurate specifications, as the currently available datasheet references a different part number.
