BC856BSHF

Overview

The BC856BSHF is a dual PNP general-purpose transistor manufactured by Nexperia USA Inc. It is housed in the SOT-363 (SC-88) surface-mount package, which contains two independent transistors within a single compact plastic casing. The device supports a maximum continuous DC collector current of -100 mA and withstands a collector-emitter voltage of -65 V. Additional electrical ratings include a collector-base voltage of -80 V and an emitter-base voltage of -5 V. The component operates reliably across a temperature range from -65°C to +150°C, with a total power dissipation limit of 300 mW.

Feature Summary

• Dual configuration providing two independent PNP transistors in a minimal footprint
• Designed for low-voltage general-purpose switching and amplification tasks
• Utilizes side-wettable flanks on the SC-88 package to enhance solder joint visibility and inspection reliability

Applications

• General-purpose signal switching circuits
• Low-frequency amplification stages
• Digital logic interface buffers

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix against official Nexperia documentation to confirm the reel quantity and tape specifications. Ensure the ordering code matches the required packaging format for automated assembly lines. Cross-reference the part number with the manufacturer's latest datasheet to validate compliance with current environmental standards before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a design requires two matched PNP transistors in a space-constrained area. The SOT-363 package offers a smaller footprint compared to discrete single transistors. Verify that the -65 V rating and -100 mA current limits align with the circuit requirements. Consider the thermal management capabilities provided by the 300 mW power dissipation rating for the intended operating environment.

Part Context

This part belongs to the BC856 series of PNP general-purpose transistors produced by Nexperia. The series includes various gain grades and package options, such as the SOT-23 and DFN variants. The BC856BSHF specifically utilizes the SOT-363 package, offering a dual-transistor solution that complements the BC846BSH NPN counterpart within the same family.

Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-to-pin replacements include the BC856BS,115 and BC856BS,125. These variants share the same SOT-363 package and core electrical characteristics. Verify that the replacement variant meets the specific packaging and reel requirements of the manufacturing process.
