BCX53-16,115

BCX53-16,115 is the tape-and-reel ordering code for the -16 gain rank of the Nexperia BCX53 PNP medium-power transistor in SOT-89, verified on the maker’s data with an RFS state. Verified figures for the -16 rank only: a current gain of 100 to 250 at -2 V collector-emitter voltage and -150 mA collector current, collector-emitter voltage of -80 V maximum and collector current of -1 A maximum. The base-type band and the -10 rank band are deliberately not used for this code — the -16 rank row is the specification an offer must be checked against, and this page does not present any other rank’s figures as this code’s. Selection advice: SOT-89 gives this PNP real power headroom over SOT-23 small-signal parts; confirm the gain band at your actual collector current, since the 100 minimum is guaranteed at the -150 mA test point, and keep this Nexperia code separate from same-named BCX53 offerings documented by other makers. Parameters verified against the Nexperia BCX53 datasheet (-16 rank row).
