BC856SHX Equivalent & Substitute Parts Reference

Part Overview

The BC856SHX is a surface mount bipolar transistor array featuring 2 PNP (dual) configuration with 65V, 100mA, 100MHz, and 270mW maximum ratings in a 6-TSSOP package. Its status is marked as obsolete, making it necessary to identify and verify alternative models for continued production and service support. Component substitution is vital to maintain product integrity when the original part is no longer manufactured or widely available.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution between bipolar (BJT) transistor array parts within this category requires an exact match in electrical and mechanical parameters. The following are strictly used for substitution grouping: transistor type, maximum collector current, collector-emitter breakdown voltage, saturation voltage, cutoff current, DC current gain, maximum power dissipation, transition frequency, operating temperature, mounting type, package/case, supplier device package, RoHS compliance, moisture sensitivity level, and product status. Automotive-grade and qualification status are noted only as specified.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Selection of substitute transistors should be based on product status and compliance only. BC856SHX is classified as obsolete; BC856SH-QX is classified as active and is ROHS3 compliant, matching moisture sensitivity and package requirements. BC856SH-QX is AEC-Q101 qualified and automotive grade. Inventory levels may support ongoing requirements. No technical deviation exists between the main part and its listed substitute across the provided electrical and mechanical parameters.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Which parameters must be matched for direct substitution in bipolar transistor arrays?
A1: Parameters required for direct substitution are: transistor type, maximum collector current, collector-emitter breakdown voltage, saturation voltage, cutoff current, DC current gain, maximum power dissipation, transition frequency, operating temperature, mounting type, package/case, supplier device package, RoHS status, and moisture sensitivity level.

Q2: Can substituting BC856SHX with BC856SH-QX affect electrical performance?
A2: No difference in electrical performance exists, as both parts share identical electrical and mechanical parameters.

Q3: Is package compatibility guaranteed between BC856SHX and BC856SH-QX?
A3: Both parts are specified for 6-TSSOP, SC-88, and SOT-363 package formats; supplier device package is identically listed as 6-TSSOP.

Q4: What compliance factors are relevant when selecting a substitute?
A4: RoHS3 compliance and identical moisture sensitivity level (MSL 3, 168 hours) are listed for both parts. BC856SH-QX additionally specifies automotive qualification (AEC-Q101).

Q5: Why is the substitute part necessary?
A5: The BC856SHX is marked as obsolete; an active and equivalent model is necessary to maintain reliability and fulfillment for new and maintenance applications.

Q6: Is the automotive qualification on BC856SH-QX relevant for all applications?
A6: Automotive qualification (AEC-Q101) is provided with BC856SH-QX, but only parameters listed in the input are used in this equivalency determination.
