PMBTA56

Nexperia · Bipolar (BJT) · SOT-23

PMBTA56 from Nexperia, 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 B passive Base of the PNP transistor; the datasheet limits peak base current to -200 mA for single pulses with tp ≤ 1 ms.
2 E passive Emitter of the PNP transistor; the emitter-base voltage is limited to -5 V with the collector open (VEBO).
3 C passive Collector of the PNP transistor; limited to -80 V collector-emitter voltage with the base open (VCEO), -500 mA continuous collector current and -1 A peak collector current.
