# BCX56-16

**Changjing** · Bipolar (BJT) · SOT-89-3L

BCX56-16 from Changjing, in a SOT-89-3L. 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 BCX56-16 NPN transistor; base current is rated at 0.1 A DC and 0.2 A peak (tp<1ms). |
| 2 | COLLECTOR | passive | Collector terminal; for the BCX56 variant the collector-base voltage is 100 V and collector-emitter voltage is 80 V maximum, with collector current limited to 1 A and collector power dissipation to 500 mW. |
| 3 | EMITTER | passive | Emitter terminal; emitter-base voltage is rated at 5 V maximum. |

## CAD (KiCad official)

- Symbol: `BCX56-16`
- Footprint: `Package_TO_SOT_SMD:SOT-89-3`
- 3D model: SOT-89-3L (KiCad packages3D, STEP)
- 3D model files: `bcx56-16-etched.step` / `bcx56-16-etched.glb` carry the MPN laser-etched on the die in a toggleable `Adom.LaserEtch` group (Fusion-ready); `bcx56-16.step` / `bcx56-16.glb` are the bare package body.
