BC856SS-TP

Overview

The BC856SS-TP is a dual PNP bipolar junction transistor (BJT) manufactured by Micro Commercial Components. It integrates two independent PNP transistors within a single SOT-323 surface-mount package. The device supports a collector-emitter voltage of -50V and a collector current of -100mA, with a total power dissipation rating of 200mW. This configuration provides space-efficient signal switching and amplification capabilities for compact electronic designs.

Feature Summary

• Dual PNP transistor architecture in a compact SOT-323 package
• Independent internal circuitry for separate signal paths
• Designed for low-voltage switching and amplification applications

Applications

• General-purpose signal switching circuits
• Low-voltage amplifier stages
• Logic interface buffers

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix against official manufacturer documentation to confirm pinout compatibility and electrical tolerances. Ensure that the sourcing channel provides valid traceability records. Confirm RoHS compliance status through the latest datasheet revision before finalizing procurement specifications.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual PNP configuration is required in a minimal footprint. Compare the -50V breakdown voltage and -100mA current limits against circuit requirements. Verify thermal management needs relative to the 200mW power dissipation limit in the target enclosure environment.

Part Context

This part belongs to the BC856S series of dual transistors from Micro Commercial Components. It serves as a compact alternative to discrete dual-transistor assemblies, reducing board space and assembly complexity while maintaining standard BJT performance characteristics for general electronics.

Replacement Considerations

Consult official substitution guides for electrically equivalent dual PNP transistors in SOT-323 packages. Verify pin-to-pin compatibility and matching voltage/current ratings before implementing any cross-brand replacements.
