BC52-10PA,115

Single Bipolar Transistors Overview

The BC52-10PA,115 is a PNP medium power transistor from the BC52PA series, manufactured by Nexperia. It utilizes an SOT1061 (HUSON3) leadless plastic package with dimensions of 2 x 2 x 0.65 mm. The device supports a collector-emitter voltage (VCEO) of -60 V and a continuous collector current (IC) of -1 A. Peak collector current reaches -2 A for single pulses up to 1 ms. DC current gain (hFE) selection -10 specifies a range of 63 to 160 at IC = -150 mA and VCE = -2 V. Total power dissipation is rated at -0.42 W in free air and up to -1.65 W on a 4-layer PCB with a 1 cm² collector pad. Junction temperature ranges from -55 °C to +150 °C.

Single Bipolar Transistors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix matches the required tape and reel pitch. Confirm the hFE binning corresponds to design requirements. Ensure PCB layout accommodates the exposed thermal pad for adequate heat dissipation. Check RoHS compliance status against local regulations. Validate component authenticity through authorized distribution channels.

Single Bipolar Transistors Selection Notes

Select this component when space constraints require a leadless package with medium power handling. Compare thermal resistance values against available cooling methods. Consider the hFE selection group if precise gain control is necessary. Evaluate peak current limits for transient load conditions. Verify compatibility with existing NPN complements like the BC55PA.

Single Bipolar Transistors Part Context

This part belongs to the BC52PA series of PNP medium power transistors. It shares electrical characteristics with the BCP52 and BCX52 variants but differs in physical packaging. The SOT1061 package distinguishes it from the larger SOT223 and SOT89 options within the same product family.

Single Bipolar Transistors Replacement Considerations

BC55PA serves as the direct NPN complement within the same series.
