BCX51-10-TP

Overview

The BCX51-10-TP is a PNP plastic-encapsulated transistor manufactured by Micro Commercial Components. It operates with a collector-emitter voltage of -45 V and supports a maximum collector current of -1 A. The device features a transition frequency of 50 MHz and a power dissipation rating of 500 mW. It utilizes an SOT-89 package and maintains an operating junction temperature range from -55 °C to +150 °C.

Feature Summary

• Halogen-free construction available via suffix designation
• Moisture sensitivity level 1 classification
• Epoxy material meets UL 94 V-0 flammability rating

Applications

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

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix when purchasing. The standard part number includes the -TP suffix for tape and reel packaging containing 1,000 pieces per reel. Adding the -HF suffix designates a halogen-free variant. Confirm RoHS compliance status through official MCC documentation or authorized distributors before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring a PNP bipolar junction transistor in an SOT-89 surface-mount package. Ensure the circuit design accommodates the -45 V collector-emitter voltage limit and the -1 A continuous collector current capability. Verify thermal management requirements against the 250 °C/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance specification.

Part Context

This component belongs to the BCX51 series of PNP transistors produced by Micro Commercial Components. The series includes variants such as the BCX51-16, which shares identical electrical characteristics but differs in DC current gain ranking. The device is designed for general-purpose switching and amplification tasks within electronic systems.

Replacement Considerations

The BCX52-10T serves as a functional equivalent offering similar performance specifications. Both devices utilize the SOT-89 package and support comparable voltage and current ratings. Verify pinout compatibility and thermal characteristics during substitution analysis.
