BCP56-16TF Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The Nexperia BCP56-16TF is an NPN medium power bipolar junction transistor designed for general-purpose switching and amplification applications. It features a maximum collector-emitter voltage (VCEO) of 80V and a continuous collector current (IC) rating of 1A, with a peak current (ICM) capability of 2A under single-pulse conditions. The device offers a minimum DC current gain (hFE) of 100 at Vce=2V and Ic=150mA, ensuring consistent performance in linear and switching circuits.

 

This transistor is housed in a compact SOT-223 (SC-73) surface-mount package, which provides efficient heat dissipation for medium power levels. It is AEC-Q101 qualified, making it suitable for automotive-grade applications. The BCP56-16TF is part of the BCP56H series, which includes multiple gain selections and PNP complements for design flexibility.

 

Typical applications include linear voltage regulators, MOSFET drivers, low-side switches, power management circuits, and general-purpose amplifiers. The device's high current capability and 100 MHz typical transition frequency (fT) make it versatile for both DC and low-frequency AC operations.
