BC856BQ

Transistors - Bipolar (BJT) - Single

PNP transistorSOT-23AEC-Q101-65 V-100 mABC856B gain group

BC856BQ is an AEC-Q101 qualified PNP transistor for low-current switching and amplification. It provides -65 V VCEO, -100 mA continuous collector current, and B-group gain of 220 to 475.

Best for

  • Low-current high-side switching
  • General-purpose PNP amplification
  • Automotive-qualified discrete transistor designs

Avoid if

  • Collector current exceeds 100 mA continuous
  • Emitter-base reverse voltage can exceed 5 V
  • A guaranteed high-current low-loss switch is required

Check before use

  • Confirm SOT-23 pin mapping
  • Provide sufficient base current for saturation
  • Evaluate junction temperature using the actual PCB thermal layout
