The BCP53T1G is a PNP silicon epitaxial transistor specifically designed for use in audio amplifier applications. Housed in a Pb-free SOT-223 package for medium power surface mount applications, it supports a high continuous collector current of 1.5 A. Key electrical characteristics include a collector-emitter voltage of -80 Vdc and a total power dissipation of 1.5 W. The device features a DC current gain (hFE) between 40 and 160 at a collector current of -150 mAdc. Its NPN complement is the BCP56, making it suitable for complementary circuit designs in audio systems.
