BC556B is listed in the Single Bipolar Transistors range at ChipApex. The manufacturer field lists Diotec Semiconductor. Its product description is TRANS PNP 65V 0.1A TO-92. Review the specifications below when checking this part for your BOM.
The Diotec Semiconductor BC556B is a general-purpose PNP silicon epitaxial planar transistor housed in a TO-92 through-hole package. It features a maximum collector-emitter voltage (VCEO) of -65 V and a continuous collector current (IC) of -100 mA, with a total power dissipation (Ptot) of 500 mW. The device belongs to the 'B' gain group, offering a DC current gain (hFE) range of 200 to 450 at IC = -2 mA and VCE = -5 V. Operating characteristics include a transition frequency (fT) of up to 150 MHz and a junction temperature range of -55°C to +150°C.
Verify that the ordered component matches the specific Diotec Semiconductor manufacturer designation. Confirm the presence of the 'B' suffix to ensure the correct current gain grouping (hFE 200-450). Ensure the package type corresponds to the standard TO-92 configuration unless a bulk variant with the BK suffix is explicitly required.
Select this component when a PNP transistor with a -65 V collector-emitter breakdown voltage is required. The BC556B is suitable for designs needing moderate current handling capabilities of 100 mA. Consider the specific hFE requirements of the circuit, as the 'B' grade offers higher gain compared to the 'A' grade, making it appropriate for sensitive amplification tasks.
The BC556B is part of the broader BC556...BC559 family of general-purpose PNP transistors manufactured by Diotec Semiconductor. This series is categorized into commercial and industrial grades, with specific variants available for automotive qualification under AEC-Q101 standards using special suffixes. The BC556 specifically denotes the highest voltage rating within the common low-voltage transistor lineup.
