BCP56-10-TP

Overview

The BCP56-10-TP is an NPN medium power transistor manufactured by Micro Commercial Components (MCC). It utilizes a SOT-223 surface-mount package. The device supports a continuous collector current of 1.0 A and a collector-emitter voltage of 80 V. Key electrical parameters include a DC current gain ranging from 100 to 250, a transition frequency of 100 MHz, and a maximum power dissipation of 1.5 W. The component operates within a temperature range of -55°C to +150°C.

Feature Summary

• Designed for audio frequency driver and output stages
• Features low collector-emitter saturation voltage
• High continuous collector current capability

Applications

• Audio frequency driver circuits
• Output stages in amplifier designs
• General-purpose switching applications

Procurement Notes

Verify the authenticity of the BCP56-10-TP through authorized MCC distributors or direct procurement channels. Counterfeit components are prevalent; ensure traceability and adherence to MCC quality standards. Confirm that the ordering suffix matches the required RoHS compliance and packaging specifications before finalizing acquisition.

Selection Notes

Select this component when an NPN transistor with 80 V collector-emitter voltage and 1.0 A continuous current capacity is required. The SOT-223 package suits surface-mount assembly needs. Ensure the application demands a transition frequency of at least 100 MHz and fits within the 1.5 W power dissipation limit under specified thermal conditions.

Part Context

This part belongs to the BCP54/BCP55/BCP56 series of plastic-encapsulated transistors. The BCP56 variant specifically provides higher voltage ratings compared to the BCP54 and BCP55 counterparts. The '10' designation indicates the specific DC current gain binning range defined in the datasheet.

Replacement Considerations

Complementary PNP types in the same series include BCP51, BCP52, and BCP53. Other variants such as BCP56-16 offer different gain ranges but share identical voltage and current ratings.
