BC856SH-QF

Overview

The BC856SH-QF is a dual PNP general-purpose transistor manufactured by Nexperia, housed in the SOT363 (SC-88) surface-mount package. It features a maximum collector-emitter voltage of 65 V and a continuous collector current of 100 mA. The device offers a low collector-emitter saturation voltage and closely matched current gain between the two transistors. Qualified under AEC-Q101 standards, it supports high-temperature operation up to 175 °C, making it suitable for automotive applications requiring compact design and minimal board space.

Feature Summary

• Dual PNP configuration in an ultra-small SOT363 package
• AEC-Q101 qualified for automotive reliability
• Low collector capacitance and saturation voltage
• High-temperature capability up to 175 °C

Applications

• General-purpose switching and amplification
• Automotive electronic control units
• Space-restricted circuit designs

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'QF' against official Nexperia documentation to confirm tape-and-reel specifications. Ensure compatibility with automated optical inspection processes due to the leadless package design. Confirm that the AEC-Q101 qualification meets the specific temperature grade requirements for the target application environment.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual PNP solution is required in a minimal footprint. The SOT363 package reduces board area compared to discrete single transistors. Verify that the 65 V rating and 100 mA current limit align with the circuit's operational parameters. Consider the matched gain characteristics for differential signal processing needs.

Part Context

This part belongs to the BC856 family of PNP general-purpose transistors. It serves as the dual-transistor complement to the BC846SH-Q series. The Q-series designation indicates automotive-grade qualification, distinguishing it from standard commercial variants while maintaining similar electrical performance profiles within the same physical package constraints.

Replacement Considerations

The BC856BSH is a non-automotive equivalent in the same SOT363 package. For direct replacements, verify if the AEC-Q101 qualification is mandatory for the specific system requirement.
