BCP56-10TF

Overview

The Nexperia BCP56-10TF is an NPN medium power transistor from the BCP56T series, housed in a SOT223 (SC-73) surface-mounted package. It features a collector-emitter voltage of 80 V and a continuous collector current of 1 A. The device offers three current gain selections; the -10 variant specifies a DC current gain range of 63 to 160 at VCE = 2 V and IC = 150 mA. Peak collector current reaches 2 A for single pulses up to 1 ms. Total power dissipation varies based on PCB mounting conditions, ranging from 0.6 W to 1.3 W.

Feature Summary

• High collector current capability for both continuous and peak operation
• Three distinct current gain selection options available within the series
• High power dissipation capability with exposed heatsink design

Applications

• Linear voltage regulators
• MOSFET drivers
• High-side switches
• Power management circuits
• Amplifiers

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's official documentation to confirm the exact current gain bin and packaging configuration. Ensure the component version matches the required automotive or non-automotive qualification status as defined in the latest product data sheet revision. Confirm thermal pad soldering requirements for optimal heat dissipation performance.

Selection Notes

Select the BCP56-10TF when a guaranteed maximum DC current gain of 160 is required under standard operating conditions. This variant differs from the standard BCP56T which allows gains up to 250. Evaluate the thermal resistance characteristics relative to the target PCB copper area and layer count to ensure junction temperature limits are not exceeded during operation.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Nexperia BCP56T series of NPN medium power transistors. The series includes complementary PNP devices such as the BCP53T. These transistors are designed for general-purpose switching and amplification applications requiring robust current handling capabilities in a compact surface-mount footprint suitable for automated assembly processes.
