BC56-10PAS-QX

Single Bipolar Transistors Overview

The BC56-10PAS-Q is an NPN medium power transistor from the Nexperia BC56xPAS-Q series, housed in a DFN2020D-3 (SOT1061D) leadless package. It features a collector-emitter voltage of 80 V and a continuous collector current of 1 A, with a peak pulse current capability of 2 A. The device offers two DC current gain selections; the -10 variant specifies a minimum hFE of 63 at IC = 5 mA and up to 160 at IC = 150 mA. Qualified under AEC-Q101, it supports automatic optical inspection via side-wettable flanks.

Single Bipolar Transistors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix matches the required DC current gain bin, as the BC56-10PAS-Q denotes a distinct hFE range compared to other series variants. Confirm the DFN2020D-3 package dimensions align with the target PCB footprint, particularly regarding the side-wettable flank requirements for reflow soldering processes. Ensure application conditions remain within the absolute maximum ratings to prevent permanent device damage.

Single Bipolar Transistors Selection Notes

Select this component when automotive reliability and compact form factor are prioritized alongside medium power handling capabilities. The specific -10 suffix indicates a defined current gain profile suitable for precise biasing applications. Consider the thermal resistance characteristics relative to the intended PCB copper area and layer count to ensure adequate heat dissipation during continuous operation.

Single Bipolar Transistors Part Context

This part belongs to the BC56xPAS-Q series, which includes variants with different current gain specifications. All members share the same 80 V, 1 A electrical limits and DFN2020D-3 package. The series is designed to replace larger packages while maintaining similar power handling through improved thermal management via exposed pads.

Single Bipolar Transistors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include BC56PAS-Q and BC56-16PAS-Q from the same series, provided the specific DC current gain requirements match the circuit design constraints.
