BCP55 Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The Nexperia BCP55 is an NPN medium power transistor housed in a SOT-223 plastic package. This device is engineered for switching applications and features a high current capability of up to 1 A and a low voltage rating of up to 60 V.

 

Key electrical characteristics include a collector-emitter saturation voltage of 500 mV maximum at 0.5 A and a base-emitter voltage of 1 V maximum at 0.5 A. The transistor exhibits a DC current gain (hFE) ranging from 63 to 250 depending on the specific conditions and part number variant. Its transition frequency (fT) is typically 130 MHz at 10 mA and 5 V.

 

The BCP55 is designed for efficient heat dissipation, with a thermal resistance from junction to ambient of 94 K/W when mounted on a printed-circuit board with a 1 cm² tin-plated copper pad. The operating and storage temperatures range from -65 °C to +150 °C.

 

This transistor is a complementary part to PNP transistors BCP51, BCP52, and BCP53. Its robust design and specifications make it suitable for various general-purpose switching tasks in electronic circuits.
