BCP5616TTC

Overview

The BCP5616TTC is an NPN medium power transistor manufactured by Diodes Incorporated, housed in a SOT223 surface-mount package. It features a collector-emitter breakdown voltage (BVCEO) of 80V and supports a continuous collector current (IC) of 1A with a peak pulse current (ICM) of 2A. The device offers a maximum power dissipation of 2.5W at 25°C ambient temperature and maintains a low saturation voltage (VCE(sat)) below 500mV at 0.5A. Transition frequency (fT) reaches 150MHz, while the static forward current transfer ratio (hFE) ranges from 63 to 400 depending on operating conditions.

Feature Summary

• High continuous collector current capability for robust switching performance
• Low collector-emitter saturation voltage to minimize conduction losses
• Totally lead-free and fully RoHS compliant construction
• Halogen- and antimony-free green device formulation

Applications

• Medium power switching applications
• Audio frequency driver stages
• Amplifier output stages

Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific ordering suffix matches the required packaging quantity. The TTC suffix indicates a tape and reel configuration containing 4,000 units per 13-inch reel. Confirm compliance requirements such as automotive qualification if applicable, as standard parts differ from AEC-Q100 qualified variants. Ensure storage conditions adhere to moisture sensitivity level 1 standards prior to soldering.

Selection Notes

Select this component when high current handling and low saturation voltage are critical for efficiency. The SOT223 package provides adequate thermal dissipation for medium power tasks without requiring excessive board space. Consider the transition frequency specifications for signal amplification needs. Verify that the 80V rating aligns with the circuit's maximum voltage stress levels under all operating conditions.

Part Context

This part belongs to the BCP56 series of NPN medium power transistors designed for general-purpose switching and amplification. It serves as a complementary counterpart to PNP types within the same family. The device utilizes a molded plastic case with a UL flammability rating of 94V-0. It is intended for surface mounting on printed circuit boards using standard reflow soldering techniques.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other NPN transistors with matching 80V ratings and 1A continuous current capabilities in SOT223 packages. Verify pinout compatibility and thermal resistance values before substitution. Complementary PNP devices may be required for push-pull configurations.
