Product details
Overview
BC848CE6327HTSA1 from Infineon Technologies is an NPN silicon general-purpose bipolar junction transistor (BJT) designed for audio-frequency input stages and driver circuits. It features a DC current gain (hFE) of 420–800 at IC = 2 mA, VCE = 5 V; VCEO = 30 V; VCE(sat) ≤ 250 mV at IC = 10 mA, IB = 0.5 mA; and low noise (F = 1.2–4 dB) in the 1 kHz band - enabling high-fidelity signal amplification in compact analog front-ends.
For engineers reviewing the BC848CE6327HTSA1 datasheet, BC848CE6327HTSA1 pinout, BC848CE6327HTSA1 application, or BC848CE6327HTSA1 equivalent, key selection criteria include its AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive use, SOT23 package compatibility with high-density PCB layouts, hFE group C performance consistency, and verified low-noise behavior below 15 kHz in bias-sensitive amplifier designs.
Technical Context
This transistor operates as a linear active device in common-emitter configuration, optimized for small-signal amplification and switching with controlled saturation characteristics. Its hFE grouping (C) ensures tight current gain distribution (420–800), while the 30 V VCEO rating supports operation in 24 V rail systems with margin.
The device exhibits low base-emitter on-voltage (VBE(ON) = 580–770 mV) and low collector-emitter saturation voltage (VCE(sat) ≤ 250 mV), enabling efficient biasing in Class-A preamplifier stages and low-loss digital logic interface drivers.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCEO | 30 V - Supports reliable operation in 24 V automotive and industrial control signal chains with safety margin. |
| hFE (IC = 2 mA) | 420–800 - Enables stable small-signal gain in discrete amplifier stages without external feedback trimming. |
| VCE(sat) | ≤250 mV @ IC=10 mA - Minimizes power loss and self-heating in saturated-switch applications like LED drivers. |
| Transition frequency fT | 250 MHz - Ensures usable bandwidth up to mid-audio frequencies with phase stability in feedback networks. |
| Noise figure F | 1.2–4 dB @ 1 kHz - Meets low-noise requirements for microphone preamps and sensor signal conditioning. |
| Package | SOT23 - Surface-mount footprint compatible with automated assembly and thermal management via PCB copper pour. |
Pinout & Package
BC848CE6327HTSA1 is housed in a standard SOT23 plastic package with gull-wing leads, rated for Tj = 150 °C and qualified per AEC-Q101 for automotive reliability.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (Base) | Control electrode | Receives bias current to modulate collector current; requires series resistor for stable DC operating point. |
| 2 (Emitter) | Current return path | Connected to ground or negative rail; forms reference node for emitter-degeneration and thermal compensation. |
| 3 (Collector) | Output current terminal | Delivers amplified/saturated output current; routed over thermal pad area for heat dissipation in continuous operation. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualified | Validated for automotive electronics including engine control modules and body electronics under temperature cycling and humidity stress. |
| Low VCE(sat) | ≤250 mV enables <1% voltage drop in 10 mA load switching, reducing power loss and simplifying thermal design. |
| Group C hFE | Guaranteed 420–800 gain range minimizes binning effort and improves yield in production amplifier assemblies. |
| RoHS-compliant | Pb-free SOT23 package meets EU Directive 2011/65/EU and supports lead-free reflow soldering profiles. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar NPN small-signal transistor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BC848B,315 (Nexperia) | Same SOT23 package, hFE group B (200–450), VCEO = 30 V, but not AEC-Q101 qualified. | Lacks automotive qualification; suitable only for commercial-grade consumer electronics. | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs automotive reliability requirements and gain spread tolerance is wider. |
| MMBT3904LT1G (onsemi) | Same pinout, VCEO = 40 V, hFE = 100–300, higher VCE(sat) (300 mV), no AEC-Q101 certification. | Higher saturation voltage increases power loss in high-duty-cycle switching; broader hFE range complicates gain-critical designs. | Choose for legacy compatibility where 40 V rating is required and noise performance is secondary. |
Compared with BC848B,315 and MMBT3904LT1G, BC848CE6327HTSA1 delivers tighter hFE control, lower noise, and certified automotive reliability - making it optimal for precision analog front-ends where signal integrity and long-term field stability are non-negotiable.

FAQ
Is BC848CE6327HTSA1 pin-compatible with BC847C or BC849C?
Yes - all three share identical SOT23 pinout (1=Base, 2=Emitter, 3=Collector) and mechanical footprint. However, BC848C has VCEO = 30 V and hFE = 420–800, while BC847C offers VCEO = 45 V and BC849C provides VCEO = 30 V with enhanced low-noise performance. Electrical substitution requires verification of voltage and gain requirements.
What is the maximum continuous collector current for BC848CE6327HTSA1 at 71°C ambient?
The absolute maximum continuous collector current is 100 mA, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. At TS ≤ 71 °C, total power dissipation is limited to 330 mW, which - combined with VCE(sat) ≤ 250 mV - supports sustained 100 mA operation without exceeding thermal limits.
Does BC848CE6327HTSA1 support lead-free reflow soldering?
Yes - the device uses a Pb-free (RoHS-compliant) SOT23 package and is qualified for standard lead-free reflow profiles (JEDEC J-STD-020), including peak temperatures up to 260 °C for 10 seconds. No special soldering precautions beyond standard SMT guidelines are required.
Can BC848CE6327HTSA1 be used in switching applications above 100 kHz?
Yes - with fT = 250 MHz and low capacitances (Ccb = 0.95 pF, Ceb = 9 pF), it supports clean switching up to several hundred kHz. However, for >500 kHz operation, gate/base drive strength and layout parasitics become critical; verify switching waveforms under actual load conditions before final design sign-off.
