BCX56-16-QX Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The BCX56-16-QX is an NPN medium power transistor from Nexperia, part of the BCX56-Q series. It is designed for general-purpose switching and amplification applications requiring moderate current and voltage handling. The device features a maximum collector-emitter voltage of 80V and a continuous collector current of 1A, with a peak current capability of 2A under single-pulse conditions.

 

This transistor offers a DC current gain (hFE) range of 100 to 250 when tested at VCE = 2V and IC = 150mA, corresponding to the -16 gain selection suffix. It has a typical transition frequency of 180MHz, making it suitable for switching and amplifier circuits. The maximum power dissipation is 500mW at 25°C ambient temperature on a standard FR4 PCB footprint.

 

The BCX56-16-QX comes in a 3-lead SOT-89 (SC-62) surface-mount package with a 1.5mm lead pitch and body dimensions of 4.5 x 2.5 x 1.5 mm. It is AEC-Q101 qualified for automotive applications and is recommended for use in linear voltage regulators, MOSFET drivers, low-side switches, battery-driven devices, and power management circuits.
