BCP56-16TX Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The BCP56-16TX is an NPN medium power transistor from Nexperia, part of the BCP56T series. It is designed for general-purpose switching and amplification in surface-mount applications. The device features a collector-emitter breakdown voltage of 80 V and a maximum collector current of 1 A, with a peak current capability of 2 A.

 

Key electrical characteristics include a DC current gain (hFE) range of 100 to 250 at 150 mA and 2 V, a transition frequency of 100 MHz, and a collector-emitter saturation voltage of 500 mV at 500 mA. The transistor is capable of dissipating up to 1.3 W on a standard FR4 PCB with a 6 cm² collector pad.

 

The BCP56-16TX is supplied in the SOT-223 (SC-73) surface-mount package, which features an increased heatsink for improved thermal performance. The operating junction temperature range is -65 °C to 150 °C. This device is suitable for linear voltage regulators, MOSFET drivers, high-side switches, and power management circuits.
