Product details
Overview
BC848CWH6327XTSA1 from Infineon Technologies is an NPN silicon small-signal transistor in SOT323 (SC-70) package, rated for VCEO = 30 V, IC = 100 mA, and hFE = 420–800 (at IC = 2 mA), with low VCE(sat) ≤ 250 mV (IC = 10 mA, IB = 0.5 mA). It serves in AF input stages and driver circuits of automotive and industrial signal conditioning modules.
For engineers reviewing the BC848CWH6327XTSA1 datasheet, BC848CWH6327XTSA1 pinout, BC848CWH6327XTSA1 application, or BC848CWH6327XTSA1 equivalent, key selection criteria include its AEC-Q101 qualification, low-noise performance (F ≤ 4 dB at 1 kHz), high fT = 250 MHz, and RoHS-compliant Pb-free construction in SOT323.
Technical Context
This transistor operates as a general-purpose NPN amplifier/switch with complementary PNP pairing (BC858–BC860 series). Its design emphasizes low VCE(sat) and high hFE stability across IC = 10 µA to 100 mA, enabling efficient biasing in linear and switching modes.
Thermal performance is defined by RthJS ≤ 105 K/W (SOT323 variant), supporting operation up to Tj = 150 °C. Noise figure is specified at 1.2–4 dB (IC = 200 µA, f = 1 kHz), making it suitable for low-level analog front-end amplification where signal integrity is critical.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCEO | 30 V - Maximum collector-emitter voltage before breakdown under open-base conditions; defines safe operating range in low-voltage switching and amplification. |
| hFE (IC = 2 mA) | 420–800 - High DC current gain enables low-base-drive designs, reducing loading on preceding stages in multi-stage amplifiers. |
| VCE(sat) | ≤ 250 mV @ IC = 10 mA, IB = 0.5 mA - Low saturation voltage minimizes power loss and self-heating in digital switching applications. |
| fT | 250 MHz - Transition frequency supports stable amplification up to mid-VHF band, suitable for RF predriver and broadband audio stages. |
| Ccb | 0.95 pF @ VCB = 10 V - Low collector-base capacitance reduces Miller effect, improving high-frequency gain stability and bandwidth. |
| Noise Figure | 1.2–4 dB @ IC = 200 µA, f = 1 kHz - Enables use in low-noise preamplifier inputs where SNR preservation is essential. |
Pinout & Package
Package: SOT323 (SC-70), surface-mount, 3-pin plastic case with standard lead finish per JEDEC MO-203AB. Thermal resistance RthJS ≤ 105 K/W enables reliable operation at ambient temperatures up to +85 °C with appropriate PCB copper area.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (Emitter) | E | Current sink node; connects to ground or lower-potential rail; layout must minimize inductance for high-speed switching. |
| 2 (Base) | B | Control terminal; requires current-limited drive (typically via 10–100 kΩ resistor) to avoid overdrive and thermal runaway. |
| 3 (Collector) | C | Current source node; connects to load or next stage; trace width must support 100 mA continuous current without excessive heating. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualified | Validated for automotive electronics per stress test requirements including HTOL, temperature cycling, and ESD; supports under-hood and infotainment applications. |
| Low VCE(sat) | 250 mV max ensures <1% voltage drop across transistor in saturated switch mode, preserving headroom in 3.3 V and 5 V logic-compatible interfaces. |
| High hFE group C | 420–800 gain range allows single-transistor amplification of microamp-level sensor signals without cascaded stages. |
| RoHS-compliant Pb-free | Meets EU Directive 2011/65/EU; compatible with lead-free reflow profiles (peak 260 °C) and halogen-free PCB assembly processes. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| BC848CW,115 (Nexperia) | Same SOT323 package, identical VCEO/IC/hFE specs, but not AEC-Q101 qualified; RthJS = 110 K/W (slightly higher thermal resistance). | Lacks automotive qualification; suitable for commercial-grade consumer and industrial control, not safety-critical automotive systems. | Select when AEC-Q101 is not required and cost optimization is prioritized over extended reliability validation. |
| MMBT3904LT1G (ON Semiconductor) | VCEO = 40 V, hFE = 100–300 (lower gain spread), fT = 300 MHz, SOT23 package (larger footprint, lower thermal resistance RthJS ≈ 240 K/W). | Higher voltage rating suits 12 V/24 V systems; wider package eases hand-soldering but increases board area vs. SOT323. | Choose for non-automotive applications needing higher VCEO margin or where SOT23 placement compatibility is required. |
Compared with BC848CWH6327XTSA1, BC848CW,115 offers identical electrical performance without automotive qualification, while MMBT3904LT1G trades gain consistency and package size for higher voltage tolerance and broader industry adoption-making each suitable for distinct reliability, thermal, and system-voltage contexts.

FAQ
Is BC848CWH6327XTSA1 pin-compatible with BC847C variants?
No-BC848CWH6327XTSA1 uses SOT323 (SC-70) packaging, while BC847C variants are offered in SOT23, TSFP-3, and TSLP-3-1 packages with different pin-to-package mappings. Pin numbering (E-B-C) is consistent, but mechanical fit and thermal performance differ significantly due to package geometry and thermal pad structure.
What is the maximum allowable base current for continuous operation?
The absolute maximum peak base current is 200 mA (per datasheet limit), but for continuous DC operation, IB must be limited to ensure IC ≤ 100 mA and junction temperature remains ≤150 °C. At hFE = 420, IB ≤ 240 µA sustains IC = 100 mA; practical designs use 1–5 mA with appropriate current-limiting resistors.
Does this part support pulsed operation beyond its DC ratings?
Yes-pulse operation up to IC = 200 mA is permitted for tp ≤ 10 ms (duty cycle ≤ 2%), as confirmed by the permissible pulse load curve (EHP00362). Thermal derating must follow the Ptot vs. TS curves for SOT323, with peak junction temperature still capped at 150 °C.
How does its noise performance compare to BC849C and BC850C?
BC848CWH6327XTSA1 has F = 1.2–4 dB (1 kHz), matching BC849C but exceeding BC850C's 1.2 dB typical only below 50 Hz. At 10–50 Hz, BC850C achieves lower Vn = 0.135 µV, while BC848C maintains superior fT and hFE consistency-making BC848C preferred for general-purpose audio and sensor amplification above 100 Hz.
