BF550

Nexperia · Bipolar (BJT) · SOT-23

BF550 from Nexperia, in a SOT-23. Pinout and pin descriptions extracted from the manufacturer datasheet by ds2sf; symbol, footprint, and 3D from KiCad-official CAD.

Pinout

Pin Name Type Function
1 B input Base terminal of the PNP BJT. Controls collector current via VBE (typ. -750 mV at IC = -1 mA, VCE = -10 V). Emitter-base breakdown VEBO = -4 V (open collector).
2 E passive Emitter terminal of the PNP BJT. Common reference for VBE and VCE. Emitter cut-off current IEBO max -100 nA at VEB = -3 V.
3 C passive Collector terminal of the PNP BJT. VCBO = -40 V (open emitter), VCEO = -40 V (open base), IC (DC) max -25 mA, total power dissipation 250 mW at Tamb <= 25 C.
