HN / BC 556...559 PNP Silicon Expitaxial Planar Transistor for switching and AF amplifier applications. “ “ ‘These transistors are subdivided into three groups A, B and C according to their current gain. the type BC556 is available in groups A and B, however, the types BC557 and BCSS8 can be supplied in all three groups. The BC559 is a low-noise type available in all three groups. As complementary types, the NPN transistors BC546...BC549 wins! are recommended. . (On special request, these transistors can be manufactured in different pin configurations. Please refer to the *TO-92 TRANSISTOR PACKAGE OUTLINE" on page 80 for the available pin options. 0-92 Plastic Package Weight approx. 0.18 g Dimensions in mm Absolute Maximum Ratings (T, = 25°C) ‘Symbol Vaive Unit Collector-Base Voltage HN/ BC556 Meso 80, v HN/ BC5S7 Vers 50 v HN /BC558, HN/ BC559 Veeo 30 v Collector-Emitter Voltage HN/BC556 Meas 80 v HN/BC557 Mees 50 v HN /BC5S8, HN/ BC559 Nees 30 v | Cotlector-Emitter Voltage HN/ BC556 Vero cy v | HN/BC557 Vesa 45 ae HN /BC558, HN / BC559 Neco 30 ieee Emitter-Base Voltage evo 5 v Collector Current ale 100 mA Peak Collector Current slow 200 mA Peak Base Current - 200 mA Peak Emitter Current low 200 mA Power Dissipation at Tans = 25 °C Pe 500” mw Junction Temperature i 150 ey Storage Temperature Range T, 6510+ 150 c ‘Valid provided that leads are kept at ambient temperature at a distance of 2 mm from case GSP FORMA AVAILABLE SEMTECH ELECTRONICS LTD.
