BC856

HT Shenzhen Jinyu Semicon · Bipolar Transistors - BJT · SOT-23

BC856 from HT Shenzhen Jinyu Semicon, in a SOT-23. 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 BASE input Base terminal of the PNP transistor; the device is rated for a collector current of -0.1 A continuous and an emitter-base voltage of -5 V (VEBO).
2 EMITTER passive Emitter terminal; the total collector power dissipation is rated at 200 mW and the junction temperature at 150 ℃ maximum.
3 COLLECTOR passive Collector terminal; the collector-base voltage is -80 V (BC856), -50 V (BC857) or -30 V (BC858), and the collector-emitter voltage is -65 V (BC856), -45 V (BC857) or -30 V (BC858).
