BC856SHF

Overview

The BC856SHF is a PNP/PNP general-purpose double transistor manufactured by Nexperia USA Inc. It is housed in the SOT363 (SC-88) surface-mount package, which features three pins per transistor side within a six-terminal configuration. The device supports a maximum collector-emitter voltage of -65 V and a collector-base voltage of -80 V. It handles a maximum DC collector current of -100 mA with a power dissipation rating of 300 mW. The component operates within a temperature range of -65°C to +150°C and offers a transition frequency of 100 MHz.

Feature Summary

• Dual PNP transistors integrated into a compact SOT363 package for space-constrained designs
• High breakdown voltage capability suitable for general-purpose switching applications
• Low mutual interference between internal transistors ensures signal integrity

Applications

• General-purpose switching circuits
• Amplification stages in low-power electronics
• Digital logic interface applications

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'HF' against official Nexperia documentation to confirm tape-and-reel packaging specifications. Ensure compatibility with standard SOT363 footprint dimensions during PCB layout. Confirm RoHS compliance status through the manufacturer's latest datasheet before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when dual PNP switching functionality is required in minimal board space. Compare the 300 mW power dissipation limit against thermal requirements. Verify that the -65 V voltage rating exceeds the circuit's peak operating conditions to ensure reliable performance under load.

Part Context

This part belongs to the BC856 series of general-purpose PNP transistors. It serves as the dual-transistor counterpart to single units like the BC856B. The SOT363 package allows for reduced component count compared to using two discrete devices, optimizing assembly costs and board real estate.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other dual PNP transistors in the SOT363 package, such as the BC857SH or BC858SH, provided pinout compatibility and electrical ratings match the design requirements.
