BCX56-10-TP

Overview

The BCX56-10-TP is an NPN plastic encapsulated transistor manufactured by Micro Commercial Components (MCC). It operates within a junction temperature range of -55°C to +150°C and features a collector-emitter voltage (VCEO) of 80 V, a collector-base voltage (VCBO) of 100 V, and an emitter-base voltage (VEBO) of 5 V. The device supports a continuous collector current (IC) of 1.0 A with a transition frequency (fT) of 130 MHz. DC current gain (hFE) for the BCX56-10 variant ranges from 63 to 250 at IC=150mA. Power dissipation is rated at 0.5 W on standard FR4 PCBs.

Feature Summary

• Halogen-free construction available upon request via specific suffix ordering
• Moisture sensitivity level 1 classification for reliable surface mount processing
• Epoxy material meets UL 94 V-0 flammability rating standards

Applications

• General-purpose signal processing circuits
• Electronic switching applications
• Linear amplification stages

Procurement Notes

Verify authenticity through authorized MCC distributors or direct procurement channels to avoid counterfeit components. Confirm RoHS compliance status based on the specific ordering suffix used during purchase. Ensure packaging specifications match tape-and-reel requirements for automated assembly processes.

Selection Notes

Select this component when an NPN transistor with 80 V collector-emitter voltage and 1 A continuous current capability is required. The BCX56-10 designation specifically indicates a DC current gain range of 63 to 250. Consider thermal management strategies if operating near maximum power dissipation limits in enclosed environments.

Part Context

This part belongs to the BCX56 series of NPN transistors produced by Micro Commercial Components. The series includes variants distinguished by hFE gain rankings, such as the BCX56-16. These devices are designed for general-purpose applications requiring robust performance in surface-mount SOT-89 packages.

Replacement Considerations

BCX56-16-TP offers identical electrical ratings but with a different DC current gain range of 100 to 250. Verify pinout compatibility and package dimensions before substituting to ensure proper circuit integration.
