Product details
Overview
BC856BMBYL from Nexperia is a PNP general-purpose bipolar junction transistor in a DFN1006B-3 (SOT883B) package, rated for −60 V VCEO, −100 mA IC, with DC current gain (hFE) of 220–475 at −5 V VCE/−2 mA IC. It serves as a compact switching and amplification device in space-constrained mobile and automotive signal paths.
For engineers reviewing the BC856BMBYL datasheet, BC856BMBYL pinout, BC856BMBYL application, or BC856BMBYL equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, AEC-Q101 qualification status, thermal derating behavior, ultra-thin 0.37 mm package height, and binary marking code interpretation - all critical for high-density PCB layout and automotive-grade reliability validation.
Technical Context
This PNP transistor operates in linear and saturation regions with guaranteed VCE(sat) ≤ −400 mV at −100 mA IC/−5 mA IB (pulsed), and exhibits fT = 100 MHz at −5 V VCE/−10 mA IC. Its low Rth(j-a) = 500 K/W on FR4 enables stable operation up to Tj = 150 °C.
The device features AEC-Q101 qualification, −80 V VCBO, −6 V VEBO, and leakage currents limited to −15 nA ICBO (25 °C) and −5 µA ICBO (150 °C), supporting robust performance across −55 °C to +150 °C ambient range.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCEO | −60 V: Maximum safe collector-emitter voltage with base open; defines breakdown margin in switching applications. |
| IC | −100 mA continuous: Absolute maximum DC collector current; sets upper limit for load-driving capability. |
| hFE | 220–475 at −5 V VCE/−2 mA IC: Confirmed DC current gain range enabling predictable base drive sizing. |
| VCE(sat) | ≤ −400 mV at −100 mA/−5 mA: Low saturation voltage ensures minimal power loss and heat generation in switch mode. |
| fT | 100 MHz: Transition frequency confirming usable bandwidth for audio-frequency amplification and fast digital switching. |
| Ptot | 250 mW at Tamb ≤ 25 °C: Total power dissipation limit on standard FR4 PCB; requires derating above 25 °C per Fig. 2. |
| Rth(j-a) | 500 K/W: Junction-to-ambient thermal resistance on single-sided FR4; determines temperature rise under load. |
Pinout & Package
DFN1006B-3 (SOT883B) is a leadless, ultra-small surface-mount plastic package measuring 1.0 × 0.6 × 0.37 mm, optimized for high-density layouts and reflow soldering. Its transparent top view shows pin 1 (base) leftmost, pin 2 (emitter) center, pin 3 (collector) rightmost.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Base | Control terminal for biasing; requires current-limited drive to achieve target hFE-dependent collector current. |
| 2 | Emitter | Current source node in PNP configuration; connected to higher potential rail in common-emitter switching circuits. |
| 3 | Collector | Output current sink node; interfaces with load (e.g., LED anode, relay coil) tied between VCC and collector. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Leadless ultra-small package | DFN1006B-3 footprint saves >60% board area vs. SOT23 while maintaining comparable power handling. |
| Low profile height | 0.37 mm max package height enables use under mechanical shields and in ultra-thin portable assemblies. |
| AEC-Q101 qualification | Validated for automotive electronics per stress test requirements, including temperature cycling and HTRB. |
| Binary marking code | "0101 1010" marking enables automated optical inspection and traceability without laser etching. |
| Thermal performance | 500 K/W Rth(j-a) on FR4 supports 250 mW dissipation at 25 °C ambient, with defined derating curve. |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar PNP general-purpose transistor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BC856BS,115 (Nexperia) | SOT323 package (2.1 × 1.25 × 0.95 mm); higher Ptot = 300 mW; same hFE range and ratings. | Larger footprint eases hand-soldering and thermal management but occupies ~4× more board area. | Select when manual rework or higher power margin is prioritized over miniaturization. |
| MMBT3906LT1G (onsemi) | SOT-23 package; VCEO = −40 V; hFE = 100–300; not AEC-Q101 qualified. | Lower voltage rating limits use in 12 V automotive systems with transients; no automotive qualification. | Acceptable for consumer-grade 5 V logic-level switching where AEC-Q101 and −60 V margin are unnecessary. |
Compared with BC856BMBYL, BC856BS offers greater thermal headroom in larger SOT323 form, while MMBT3906LT1G trades automotive compliance and voltage margin for broader distributor availability in legacy SOT-23 designs.

FAQ
What is the marking code format for BC856BMBYL?
The BC856BMBYL uses an 8-bit binary marking code "0101 1010" printed on the top surface of the DFN1006B-3 package. Pin 1 (base) is identified by the reading direction arrow adjacent to the marking, with bits read left-to-right in standard orientation. This code enables automated optical recognition during SMT placement and post-assembly traceability.
Is BC856BMBYL suitable for automotive applications?
Yes - BC856BMBYL is fully qualified to AEC-Q101 standards for discrete semiconductors, including stress tests for temperature cycling, high-temperature reverse bias, and humidity testing. Its −55 °C to +150 °C operating range, −60 V VCEO, and validated reliability data support deployment in body control modules, lighting systems, and infotainment peripherals.
How does thermal derating work for BC856BMBYL on FR4 PCB?
BC856BMBYL's Ptot is 250 mW at Tamb ≤ 25 °C on standard FR4 with single-sided copper. Above 25 °C, power must be linearly derated at 3.33 mW/°C (per Fig. 2), reaching zero dissipation at 100 °C ambient. This reflects its Rth(j-a) = 500 K/W and ensures junction temperature stays below 150 °C under defined mounting conditions.
What is the difference between BC856BMBYL and BC856BMB?
BC856BMBYL is the tape-and-reel packaged version of BC856BMB, optimized for automated SMT assembly. Both share identical electrical specifications, package dimensions (DFN1006B-3), marking code ("0101 1010"), and AEC-Q101 qualification. The "YL" suffix denotes the specific reel packaging configuration per Nexperia's ordering nomenclature, not a functional variant.
