BCP56-16,115 Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The BCP56-16,115 is an NPN medium power transistor from Nexperia, part of the BCP56 series. It features a maximum collector-emitter voltage (VCEO) of 80V and a continuous collector current (IC) of 1A, with a peak current capability of 2A. The DC current gain (hFE) ranges from 100 to 250 at 150mA and 2V, ensuring consistent performance in amplification and switching applications. The transistor offers a low collector-emitter saturation voltage (VCEsat) of 500mV at 500mA, minimizing power loss. With a transition frequency (fT) of 180MHz, it is suitable for moderate-speed switching circuits.

 

Power dissipation depends on the PCB copper area: 0.65W for a standard footprint, up to 1.35W with a 6cm² collector pad. The device is housed in a surface-mount SOT223 (SC-73) package, which provides a compact footprint with enhanced thermal performance. The maximum junction temperature is 150°C, and the storage temperature range is -65°C to 150°C.

 

Typical applications include linear voltage regulators, MOSFET drivers, low-side switches, power management circuits, amplifiers, and battery-driven devices. The transistor is designed for general-purpose medium power switching and amplification in consumer and industrial electronics.
