BCP56-16-TP

Overview

The BCP56-16-TP is an NPN medium power transistor manufactured by Micro Commercial Components (MCC). It features a collector-emitter voltage of 80 V, continuous collector current of 1 A, and peak collector current of 2 A. The device provides a DC current gain range of 100 to 250 at IC=50mA and VCE=2V. Electrical characteristics include a transition frequency of 100 MHz, collector-base cutoff current of 100 nA, and collector-emitter saturation voltage of 0.5 V at IC=500mA and IB=50mA. Power dissipation is rated at 1.5 W with a thermal resistance of 83.3°C/W. The component operates within a junction temperature range of -55°C to +150°C and utilizes the SOT-223 package.

Procurement Notes

Verify that the ordering suffix 'TP' corresponds to RoHS compliance as specified in the MCC datasheet. Confirm the specific hFE binning for the '-16' designation matches design requirements. Ensure procurement channels are authorized distributors to guarantee genuine parts and full traceability. Check packaging details for tape and reel quantities if applicable.

Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring an NPN transistor with 80 V breakdown and 1 A continuous current capability. The 100 to 250 hFE range suits general switching and amplification tasks. Consider the SOT-223 package for surface mount assembly. Evaluate thermal management needs given the 1.5 W power dissipation limit and 83.3°C/W thermal resistance.

Part Context

This part belongs to the BCP56 series of NPN plastic-encapsulated transistors from Micro Commercial Components. It serves as the complementary counterpart to the BCP53 PNP transistor. The series is designed for medium power applications in surface-mounted devices. The product line emphasizes environmental compliance through halogen-free materials and lead-free finishes.

Replacement Considerations

The BCP53-16-TP is the direct PNP complement within the same MCC series. Cross-manufacturer equivalents should match the 80 V VCEO, 1 A IC, and SOT-223 package constraints. Verify hFE ranges and thermal characteristics before substitution.
