Overview

Description

BC856-QR is a PNP general‑purpose small‑signal transistor in a surface‑mount package (SOT‑23). It is the PNP complement of the BC846 family and is used for low‑power switching and amplification in compact circuits. The “-QR” suffix denotes a specific packaging/tape‑and‑reel/RoHS option from the manufacturer.
Key points:
- Suitable for signal switching and small‑signal amplification.
- Voltage rating typically around tens of volts (Vceo ≈ 45 V range).
- Current rating is in the tens-to-hundreds of milliamps range (depends on grade).
- Current gain (hFE) is broad, varying with Ic and temperature; generally high enough for common signal tasks.
- Low leakage and reasonable saturation performance make it versatile for generic applications.
Pinout and exact electrical specs vary by manufacturer, so always consult the specific datasheet for your BC856‑QR variant. Common usage includes high‑side/low‑side switching, sensor interfaces, and small amplifier stages in compact, RoHS‑compliant designs.

Features

BC856-QR is a PNP general-purpose small-signal transistor in the BC856 family. Core features:
- Vceo: -45 V (PNP; negative polarities)
- Ic: up to 100 mA
- VeBo: up to -5 V
- Gain (hFE): wide range (roughly 110–800 depending on Ic and lot)
- Low noise and suitable for switching and amplification
- Temperature range: -55°C to +150°C
- Packaging: available in standard small-signal packages (TO-92 or SOT-23 variants); QR suffix indicates RoHS-compliant/reel packaging in some datasheets
- Complement: BC846 (NPN) family; commonly paired with BC856 in designs
Applications: general-purpose amplification, switching, signal conditioning in low- to medium-power circuits.

Package

BC856-QR is a PNP small-signal transistor in a SOT-23 (3-pin) surface-mount package.

Pinout

- Pin count: 3
- Function: PNP general-purpose transistor (small-signal switch/ amplifier)
- Typical SOT-23 pinout: pin 1 = Emitter, pin 2 = Base, pin 3 = Collector
Note: verify exact orientation from the datasheet for your package variant.

Manufacturer

Manufacturer: Nexperia (formerly part of NXP Semiconductors).
