Product details
Overview
BCP5216TA from Diodes Incorporated is a PNP medium-power transistor in SOT223 package, rated for -60V VCEO, -1A continuous collector current, and 2W power dissipation. It features low saturation voltage (VCE(sat) ≤ -500 mV @ -500 mA/-50 mA), hFE gain group 16 (100–250), and AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive reliability. It serves as a switching or linear amplification device in AF output stages and power control circuits.
For engineers reviewing the BCP5216TA datasheet, BCP5216TA pinout, BCP5216TA application, or BCP5216TA equivalent, key selection criteria include its -60V breakdown rating, gain-group consistency, thermal resistance (RθJA = 62°C/W), RoHS/Green compliance, and SOT223 surface-mount compatibility with standard PCB layout practices.
Technical Context
This PNP bipolar junction transistor operates in common-emitter configuration with DC current gain tightly binned to 100–250 at IC = -150 mA and VCE = -2 V. Its fT of 150 MHz supports audio-frequency amplification and moderate-speed switching up to ~100 kHz under resistive loads.
Thermal design relies on its RθJL of 19.4°C/W (junction-to-leads) and defined derating curve: full 2W dissipation only at TA ≤ 70°C, dropping linearly to zero at 150°C ambient. The SOT223 package enables direct copper-pad heat sinking via the collector tab.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCEO | -60 V - Maximum safe collector-emitter voltage before avalanche conduction; defines usable supply rail headroom in high-side switch designs. |
| IC (cont) | -1 A - Continuous DC collector current limit; sets maximum load drive capability without forced-air cooling. |
| PD | 2 W - Steady-state power dissipation at TA = 25°C on 50 mm × 50 mm 1 oz Cu PCB; requires thermal pad layout per AP02001. |
| hFE (gain group 16) | 100–250 - Tight DC current gain binning ensures predictable base drive requirements across production lots. |
| VCE(sat) | ≤ -500 mV @ -500 mA / -50 mA - Low saturation voltage minimizes conduction loss and self-heating in switching applications. |
| fT | 150 MHz - Gain-bandwidth product enabling stable audio amplification and fast edge response in pulse-driven circuits. |
| RθJA | 62 °C/W - Junction-to-ambient thermal resistance under standard test conditions; used to calculate max allowable power at elevated ambient temperatures. |
Pinout & Package
SOT223 package with exposed collector tab for thermal conduction; molded green plastic case (UL 94V-0), matte tin-plated leads, and 0.112 g mass. Pin 1 = Emitter, Pin 2 = Base, Pin 3 = Collector (tab), Pin 4 = Collector (lead).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 (E) | Emitter | Current exit node; connected to higher potential in PNP high-side switch configurations. |
| Pin 2 (B) | Base | Control input requiring negative current relative to emitter to turn on; base resistor sizing based on hFE min = 100. |
| Pin 3 (C, tab) | Collector | Main power terminal and primary thermal path; soldered directly to large copper pour for heat removal. |
| Pin 4 (C, lead) | Collector | Secondary collector connection for mechanical stability and redundant current path; electrically identical to Pin 3. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualified | Validated for automotive-grade temperature cycling (-65°C to +150°C), vibration, and humidity stress; PPAP-capable for Tier-1 sourcing. |
| Green / Halogen-free | Meets <900 ppm Br, <900 ppm Cl (<1500 ppm total Br+Cl), <1000 ppm Sb; compliant with EU RoHS 2011/65/EU and JESD22-A114 ESD HBM 4 kV. |
| Gain group 16 | Guaranteed hFE range of 100–250 at IC = -150 mA/VCE = -2 V; reduces need for post-production gain binning in production assemblies. |
| Low VCE(sat) | ≤ -500 mV at IC = -500 mA/IB = -50 mA; cuts conduction loss by >30% vs. generic PNP transistors with VCE(sat) > -700 mV. |
| SOT223 thermal performance | RθJL = 19.4°C/W enables >1.5 W dissipation at TA = 85°C with minimal heatsinking-critical for space-constrained industrial controls. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar PNP medium-power transistor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BCP5210TA | Same package and VCEO/IC ratings, but hFE gain group 10 (63–160); lower minimum gain. | Suitable where base drive margin is ample and tighter gain control is not required. | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs need for consistent base current across production units. |
| BCP5316TA | Higher -80 V VCEO rating, same SOT223 package, identical hFE group 16, but higher RθJA (65°C/W). | Better for 24 V or 48 V systems with transient overvoltage risk; slightly reduced thermal headroom. | Choose when system voltage exceeds 30 V and long-term reliability under surge conditions is critical. |
Compared with BCP5210TA, BCP5216TA offers higher guaranteed hFE for more predictable base drive; compared with BCP5316TA, it trades 20 V breakdown margin for better thermal performance in 12–24 V applications.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature for BCP5216TA?
The BCP5216TA has an operating junction temperature range of -65°C to +150°C. Its maximum ambient temperature depends on power dissipation and PCB thermal design: at 2 W, ambient must stay ≤70°C on a 50 mm × 50 mm 1 oz Cu board. Derating begins linearly above that point per the datasheet curve.
Is BCP5216TA pin-compatible with other SOT223 PNP transistors?
Yes-BCP5216TA uses standard SOT223 pinout: Pin 1 = Emitter, Pin 2 = Base, Pins 3 & 4 = Collector. It shares mechanical and electrical pin compatibility with BCP51/52/53 series and complementary NPN types like BCP54/55/56, provided gain and voltage ratings match the application.
Does BCP5216TA require a heatsink in typical applications?
No external heatsink is required for ≤1.2 W dissipation at TA ≤ 85°C when using the recommended 50 mm × 50 mm 1 oz Cu thermal pad per AP02001. The SOT223 collector tab provides sufficient thermal conduction for most automotive and industrial switching applications.
How does the gain group 16 affect circuit design?
Gain group 16 guarantees hFE between 100 and 250 at IC = -150 mA/VCE = -2 V. This allows precise base resistor calculation (e.g., RB ≈ (VCC − VBE) / (IC/100)) without tolerance stacking, reducing design iterations and improving batch-to-batch consistency.
