BC856W

Nexperia · Bipolar Transistors - BJT · SOT-323

BC856W from Nexperia, in a SOT-323. 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 input Base terminal of the PNP transistor (Table 3 pinning, graphic symbol B); the datasheet gives no separate electrical limit for this pin, so the Table 6 limiting values apply to the device.
2 E passive Emitter terminal of the PNP transistor (Table 3 pinning, graphic symbol E); the datasheet gives no separate electrical limit for this pin, so the Table 6 limiting values apply to the device.
3 C passive Collector terminal of the PNP transistor (Table 3 pinning, graphic symbol C); the datasheet gives no separate electrical limit for this pin, so the Table 6 limiting values apply to the device.

CAD (KiCad official)

  • Symbol: BC856W
  • Footprint: Package_TO_SOT_SMD:SOT-323_SC-70
  • 3D model: SOT-323 (KiCad packages3D, STEP)
  • 3D model files: bc856w-etched.step / bc856w-etched.glb carry the MPN laser-etched on the die in a toggleable Adom.LaserEtch group (Fusion-ready); bc856w.step / bc856w.glb are the bare package body.

Provenance

Data extracted from the manufacturer datasheet, not a distributor listing:

  • Datasheet: Nexperia datasheet (13 pp, sha256 6ecc839c70f13953, retrieved 2026-11-04, tier: manufacturer)
  • Extractor: parts-factory 2.0.0 / extract_pins 0.3, primary claude-haiku-5-5 (text), consensus claude-sonnet-5-5 (agreed), guards: pin_guards 0.1: passed. Pins are checked against the footprint pad set and their cited datasheet pages before publish.
