A family of PNP bipolar junction transistor (BJT) devices made for high current applications is the BCP56 series from On Semiconductor. These transistors can withstand a collector-emitter voltage (VCEO) of up to 80V and a continuous collector current (IC) of up to 1.5A. Low collector-emitter saturation voltage, quick switching, high current gain, and low noise characteristics define the BCP56 series transistors. A wide range of electrical circuits, such as power amplifiers, switching circuits, voltage regulators, LED drivers, and motor control circuits, frequently use them. The BCP56 series transistors are RoHS compliant, meaning that they don't contain any hazardous substances like lead, mercury, or cadmium, and they come in a variety of surface-mount and through-hole package configurations.
