Overview
The Nexperia BCP56,115 is an NPN medium power transistor housed in a SOT223 (SC-73) surface-mount package. It supports a collector-emitter voltage of 80 V and a continuous collector current of 1 A, with a peak pulse current capability of 2 A. The device offers three DC current gain selections: the standard BCP56 provides a minimum hFE of 63 at 150 mA, while the BCP56-10 variant limits the maximum gain to 160, and the BCP56-16 ensures a minimum gain of 100 under identical conditions. Total power dissipation reaches 1.35 W on a 6 cm² collector pad, with a transition frequency of 180 MHz.
Feature Summary
- High collector current capability for both continuous and pulsed operation
- Three distinct current gain selections to accommodate specific circuit requirements
- High power dissipation capability utilizing an exposed heatsink pad
Applications
- Linear voltage regulators
- MOSFET drivers
- Low-side switches
- Power management circuits
- Amplifiers
Procurement Notes
Verify the specific suffix designation when ordering, as it determines the DC current gain range. Confirm that the application does not require automotive qualification, as this product data sheet indicates non-automotive status. Ensure thermal design accounts for the specified junction-to-ambient resistance values based on the PCB copper area utilized for the collector pad.
Selection Notes
Select the BCP56-10 variant if a lower maximum current gain is required to prevent amplifier instability or oscillation. Choose the BCP56-16 variant when consistent high gain performance is critical for switching applications. The standard BCP56 offers the widest gain range. All variants share identical voltage ratings and thermal characteristics within the SOT223 package.
Part Context
The BCP56 belongs to the Nexperia BCP56 series of NPN medium power transistors. These devices are designed for general-purpose amplification and switching tasks. The series utilizes a plastic SOT223 package with four leads, where one lead serves as an additional collector connection to enhance thermal performance and current handling capabilities compared to standard three-lead packages.

FAQ
What is the difference between the BCP56, BCP56-10, and BCP56-16 variants?
The variants differ only in their DC current gain (hFE) ranges. The standard BCP56 has a minimum hFE of 63. The BCP56-10 caps the maximum hFE at 160. The BCP56-16 requires a minimum hFE of 100.
Is the BCP56,115 qualified for automotive applications?
No. According to the Rev. 11 data sheet, this product is not automotive qualified and should not be used in automotive equipment without customer risk.
How is the fourth pin configured in the SOT223 package?
Pin 4 is connected internally to the Collector (C). It provides an additional electrical and thermal path to improve heat dissipation and current carrying capacity.
