BC556BTA

onsemi · Bipolar (BJT) · TO-92-3

BC556BTA from onsemi, 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 Collector passive Collector terminal of the PNP transistor; for BC556 the collector-emitter voltage is limited to -65 V and DC collector current to -100 mA (peak pulse -200 mA).
2 Base passive Base terminal of the PNP transistor; peak base current is limited to -200 mA (pulsed), per the absolute maximum ratings.
3 Emitter passive Emitter terminal of the PNP transistor; emitter-base voltage is limited to -5 V.
