BCX56-QX Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The BCX56-QX is an NPN medium power transistor from Nexperia, designed for general-purpose switching and amplification in surface-mount applications. It is part of the BCX56-Q series, which is qualified according to AEC-Q101 and recommended for automotive use.

 

Key electrical specifications include a maximum collector-emitter voltage of 80V, a maximum collector current of 1A, and a peak collector current of 2A under single-pulse conditions. The DC current gain (hFE) is at least 63 at 150mA and 2V, and the saturation voltage is 500mV maximum at 500mA collector current. The transition frequency is typically 180MHz.

 

The device is housed in a TO-243AA (SOT-89) surface-mount package, offering a compact footprint for space-constrained designs. It can dissipate up to 500mW at 25°C ambient temperature on a standard FR4 PCB, and the maximum junction temperature is 150°C.

 

Typical applications include linear voltage regulators, MOSFET drivers, low-side switches, battery-driven devices, power management, and amplifiers. The BCX56-QX is suitable for both consumer and automotive electronics where reliable medium-power switching is required.
