BCP56-16T-QX

Overview

The Nexperia BCP56-16T-Q is an NPN medium power transistor housed in a SOT223 (SC-73) surface-mount package. It features a collector-emitter voltage of 80 V, continuous collector current of 1 A, and peak collector current of 2 A. The device offers a DC current gain range of 100 to 250 at IC = 150 mA and VCE = 2 V. Total power dissipation reaches 1.3 W on a standard FR4 PCB. Qualified under AEC-Q101 for automotive use, it includes a transition frequency of 100 MHz minimum.

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's latest documentation to confirm packaging details and availability status. Confirm that the component meets all required environmental and reliability standards for the intended application before finalizing procurement decisions.

Selection Notes

Select this component when an NPN transistor with 80 V rating and 1 A continuous current is required in a SOT223 package. Ensure the design accommodates the specified thermal resistance values for the target PCB layout. Verify that the hFE range of 100 to 250 aligns with circuit biasing requirements.

Part Context

This part belongs to the BCP56T-Q series of NPN medium power transistors manufactured by Nexperia. The series includes variants with different current gain ranges, such as the BCP56T-Q and BCP56-10T-Q. All members share the same SOT223 package and electrical ratings, differing primarily in their DC current gain specifications.

Replacement Considerations

BCP53-16T-Q serves as the PNP complement within the same series.
