BCP56-16-QX Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The BCP56-16-QX is an NPN medium power transistor from Nexperia, designed for general-purpose switching and amplification. It features a collector-emitter voltage rating of 80 V, a collector-base voltage of 100 V, and a continuous collector current of 1 A, with a peak collector current of 2 A (single pulse, tp ≤ 1 ms). The DC current gain ranges from 100 to 250 at VCE = 2 V and IC = 150 mA, and the saturation voltage is 500 mV at Ib = 50 mA and Ic = 500 mA.

 

This transistor offers a transition frequency of 180 MHz, making it suitable for moderate-speed switching applications. Power dissipation depends on the PCB copper area: 650 mW for a standard footprint, 1.0 W with a 1 cm² collector pad, and 1.35 W with a 6 cm² collector pad. The device operates over an ambient temperature range of -55 °C to 150 °C, with a maximum junction temperature of 150 °C.

 

Packaged in a SOT-223 (SC-73) surface-mount package with four leads (base, collector, emitter, collector), it is designed for automotive use and is AEC-Q101 qualified. Typical applications include linear voltage regulators, MOSFET drivers, low-side switches, power management, amplifiers, and battery-driven devices. RoHS compliance is indicated but unverified.
