# BCX51-16

**Shikues** · Bipolar (BJT) · SOT-89

BCX51-16 from Shikues, in a SOT-89. 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; continuous base current is limited to -100 mA and base peak current to -200 mA. |
| 2 | COLLECTOR | passive | Collector terminal; continuous collector current is -1.0 A with peak collector current of -1.5 A, and collector-emitter voltage is -45 V (BCX51), -60 V (BCX52) or -80 V (BCX53) depending on type. |
| 3 | EMITTER | passive | Emitter terminal; emitter-base voltage is limited to -5 V. |

## CAD (KiCad official)

- Symbol: `BCX51-16`
- Footprint: `Package_TO_SOT_SMD:SOT-89-3`
- 3D model: SOT-89 (KiCad packages3D, STEP)
- 3D model files: `bcx51-16-etched.step` / `bcx51-16-etched.glb` carry the MPN laser-etched on the die in a toggleable `Adom.LaserEtch` group (Fusion-ready); `bcx51-16.step` / `bcx51-16.glb` are the bare package body.
