Single Bipolar Transistors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering code suffix against the manufacturer's official documentation to confirm the exact current gain bin and packaging configuration. Ensure the design accounts for the thermal resistance values associated with the SOT1061 package footprint on the target PCB layout. Confirm compliance with RoHS directives and AEC-Q101 automotive standards as specified in the product data sheet.

Single Bipolar Transistors Selection Notes

Select this component when a compact, leadless surface-mount solution is required for high-current switching or amplification tasks. The HUSON3 package facilitates efficient heat transfer through an exposed die pad. Consider the specific hFE selection group (-10 or -16) based on the required base drive current and gain stability for the intended circuit topology.

Single Bipolar Transistors Part Context

This part belongs to the BC52 series of 60 V, 1 A PNP medium power transistors manufactured by Nexperia. It serves as the complement to the NPN BC55-16PA variant. The series includes alternative packages such as SOT223 and SOT89, but the BC52PA specifically utilizes the ultra-thin SOT1061 leadless form factor designed for space-constrained applications.
