8550D

ST Semtech · Bipolar (BJT) · TO-92-3

8550D from ST Semtech, in a TO-92-3. Pinout and pin descriptions extracted from the manufacturer datasheet (extract_pins, cross-checked by a second model); symbol, footprint, and 3D from KiCad-official CAD.

Pinout

Pin Name Type Function
1 Emitter passive Emitter of the PNP transistor; the datasheet limits emitter-base voltage -VEBO to 6 V.
2 Base passive Base of the PNP transistor; the datasheet limits base-emitter saturation voltage VBE(sat) to 1.2 V max at -IC = 800 mA, -IB = 80 mA.
3 Collector passive Collector of the PNP transistor; the datasheet limits collector-base voltage -VCBO to 40 V, collector-emitter voltage -VCEO to 25 V, and collector current -IC to 1.5 A.
