BC52-10PA-QX

Single Bipolar Transistors Overview

The BC52-10PA-QX is a PNP medium power transistor from the Nexperia BC52PA-Q series, housed in an ultra-thin SOT1061 leadless surface-mount package. It features a collector-emitter voltage of -60 V and a continuous collector current of -1 A. The device supports a peak collector current of -2 A for single pulses up to 1 ms. DC current gain (hFE) ranges from 63 to 160 at VCE = -2 V and IC = -150 mA. Total power dissipation reaches 1.65 W on an FR4 PCB with a 1 cm² collector pad. Transition frequency is typically 145 MHz.

Single Bipolar Transistors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's official documentation to confirm package type and tape-and-reel specifications. Ensure the selected variant matches the required current gain bin for the intended circuit design. Confirm compliance with RoHS directives and automotive qualification status prior to final procurement decisions.

Single Bipolar Transistors Selection Notes

Select this component when high collector current capability and compact footprint are required in a leadless package. The exposed thermal pad necessitates adequate PCB copper area for optimal heat dissipation. Verify that the application voltage does not exceed the -60 V collector-emitter rating under all operating conditions.

Single Bipolar Transistors Part Context

This part belongs to the BC52PA-Q series of PNP medium power transistors manufactured by Nexperia. The series includes variants with different current gain selections, such as BC52PA-Q and BC52-16PA-Q. All members share the same SOT1061 package and general electrical characteristics, differing primarily in their hFE ranges.

Single Bipolar Transistors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same family include BC52PA-Q and BC52-16PA-Q. These parts share identical pinouts and packages but offer different DC current gain ranges. Verify that the alternative gain bin meets the specific amplification requirements of the design.
