BC52PA,115

Single Bipolar Transistors Overview

The BC52PA,115 is a PNP medium power transistor manufactured by Nexperia in an ultra-thin SOT1061 (DFN-2020-3) leadless surface-mount package. It features a maximum collector current of 1 A and a collector-emitter voltage rating of 60 V. The device offers high power dissipation capability with an exposed heatsink for improved thermal conductivity. Key electrical parameters include a DC current gain (hFE) range of 63 to 250, a collector-emitter saturation voltage of 500 mV, and a transition frequency (fT) of 145 MHz. Operating temperatures span from -55°C to +150°C.

Single Bipolar Transistors Selection Notes

Select this component when a compact PNP solution with high current handling is required. The DFN-2020-3 package suits space-constrained designs. Ensure the 60 V voltage rating meets circuit requirements. Consider the three hFE bins for gain consistency. The exposed pad must be soldered to the PCB for optimal thermal performance.

Single Bipolar Transistors Part Context

This part belongs to Nexperia's BC5xPA series of medium power transistors. These devices are designed as modern replacements for legacy TO-243 packages, offering similar electrical performance in a significantly smaller footprint. The series includes both NPN and PNP variants with varying voltage ratings.

Single Bipolar Transistors Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-compatible alternatives within the same family include BC54PA,115 (NPN, 45 V) and BC56PA,115 (NPN, 80 V). For PNP equivalents with different voltage ratings, check BC55PA variants. Verify that the replacement maintains the required hFE bin and thermal characteristics.
