BC560

Single Bipolar Transistors Overview

The onsemi BC560 is a PNP epitaxial silicon small-signal transistor housed in a TO-92 (TO-226AA) three-lead through-hole package. It features a maximum collector-emitter voltage of 45 V and a continuous collector current rating of 100 mA. The device supports a maximum power dissipation of 500 mW at 25°C ambient temperature, with a junction temperature limit of 150°C. Key electrical characteristics include a transition frequency of 150 MHz and a DC current gain (hFE) ranging from 110 to 800 depending on the specific sub-grade. It serves as the complementary NPN counterpart to the BC559 series.

Single Bipolar Transistors Feature Summary

Low noise performance suitable for sensitive signal amplification
High voltage capability for general-purpose switching applications
Complementary pairing with BC559 NPN transistors for push-pull circuits

Single Bipolar Transistors Applications

General purpose amplifier stages
Switching circuits requiring low noise
Push-pull output stages

Single Bipolar Transistors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix letter (A, B, or C) to confirm the required DC current gain bin, as this determines the hFE range. Confirm RoHS compliance status for the specific manufacturing lot, as older stock may differ. Ensure the TO-92 package form factor matches the target PCB footprint requirements before finalizing procurement.

Single Bipolar Transistors Selection Notes

Select the BC560 variant based on the necessary current gain precision; higher suffix letters indicate tighter gain tolerances. Consider the 45V breakdown voltage limit when designing for high-side switching. Verify thermal management needs if operating near the 500mW dissipation limit, as the TO-92 package has limited heat sinking capability compared to larger packages.

Single Bipolar Transistors Part Context

The BC560 belongs to the widely used BC55x/BC56x family of PNP/NPN complementary pairs. It is specifically designed as the low-noise complement to the BC559 NPN transistor. This family is standard in analog electronics for audio pre-amplification and linear regulation tasks due to its balanced electrical characteristics and widespread availability across multiple manufacturers.
