Product details
Overview
BC850BWH6327XTSA1 from Infineon Technologies is an NPN silicon bipolar junction transistor designed for audio-frequency input stages and driver circuits. It delivers high DC current gain (hFE = 200–450 at IC = 2 mA), low VCE(sat) (≤250 mV at IC = 10 mA / IB = 0.5 mA), and low noise (F = 1.2 dB typical at 1 kHz), making it suitable for low-noise preamplifier and signal buffering applications in automotive and industrial electronics.
For engineers reviewing the BC850BWH6327XTSA1 datasheet, BC850BWH6327XTSA1 pinout, BC850BWH6327XTSA1 application, or BC850BWH6327XTSA1 equivalent, key selection criteria include its AEC-Q101 qualification, SOT-323 (SC-70) package, 45 V VCEO, 100 mA IC, and 250 mW Ptot at TS ≤ 124 °C - all critical for space-constrained, thermally demanding AF amplifier designs.
Technical Context
This transistor operates as a general-purpose NPN amplifying device with complementary PNP counterparts (BC856–BC860 series). Its hFE grouping (B-grade) ensures consistent current amplification across production lots, while its fT of 250 MHz supports stable operation well beyond audio bandwidth into low-RF regions.
The device features low Ccb (0.95 pF typical) and Ceb (9 pF typical), enabling minimal Miller effect in common-emitter configurations. Its VBE(on) of 660–700 mV at IC = 2 mA and VCE = 5 V supports predictable biasing in discrete gain stages without thermal runaway risk under nominal conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCEO | 45 V - Maximum collector-emitter voltage before breakdown; enables use in 24 V automotive supply rails with margin. |
| IC | 100 mA - Continuous collector current rating; supports medium-drive capability for line drivers and sensor interfaces. |
| hFE (IC = 2 mA) | 200–450 - B-grade DC current gain; ensures reliable small-signal amplification with low base drive requirements. |
| VCE(sat) | ≤250 mV at IC = 10 mA / IB = 0.5 mA - Low saturation voltage reduces power loss and heat generation in switching or linear mode. |
| fT | 250 MHz - Transition frequency confirms usable bandwidth up to ~100 MHz for RF-coupled AF stages and fast-switching applications. |
| F (Noise Figure) | 1.2 dB typical at 1 kHz - Enables low-noise preamplification in microphone inputs and sensor front-ends. |
| Ptot | 250 mW at TS ≤ 124 °C - Thermal derating curve allows stable operation in compact PCB layouts with limited copper area. |
Pinout & Package
BC850BWH6327XTSA1 is housed in a RoHS-compliant SOT-323 (SC-70) plastic surface-mount package, measuring 2.1 mm × 1.25 mm × 0.95 mm, optimized for high-density PCB assembly and automated reflow soldering.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (Emitter) | E | Current sink terminal; connects to ground or low-impedance return path in common-emitter configuration. |
| 2 (Base) | B | Control input; requires ~660–700 mV forward bias to turn on; sensitive to ESD due to thin oxide layer. |
| 3 (Collector) | C | Current source terminal; carries amplified load current; routed to VCC or active load via decoupling capacitor. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualified | Validated for automotive electronics per stress test requirements including HTOL, TC, and HTRB - supports under-hood and infotainment module deployment. |
| Low noise performance | F = 1.2 dB typical at 1 kHz with 2 kΩ source resistance - preserves SNR in analog front-end signal conditioning. |
| High hFE consistency | B-grade binning (200–450) minimizes circuit recalibration during volume production and reduces base resistor tolerance sensitivity. |
| Low VCE(sat) | ≤250 mV at IC/IB = 20 - improves efficiency in Class-A/AB output stages and reduces thermal load on adjacent components. |
| Pb-free & RoHS compliant | Meets EU Directive 2011/65/EU; compatible with lead-free reflow profiles (peak 260 °C) without reliability degradation. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| BC847BWH6327XTSA1 | VCEO = 45 V, hFE = 200–450, but Ptot = 250 mW at TS ≤ 124 °C same; identical SOT-323 package and pinout. | Same AF input/driver use cases; lacks BC850B's extended fT (250 MHz vs. 300 MHz for BC847B) and slightly higher noise (F = 2.0 dB). | Select when cost optimization is prioritized and 250 MHz bandwidth suffices; no layout change required. |
| MMBT3904LT1G | VCEO = 40 V, hFE = 100–300, Ptot = 310 mW at TA = 25 °C; SOT-23 package (larger footprint, different pinout). | Higher power dissipation but lower gain consistency and noise performance; not AEC-Q101 qualified. | Choose only for non-automotive, non-thermal-critical applications where board space permits SOT-23 and qualification is not required. |
Compared with BC847BWH6327XTSA1 and MMBT3904LT1G, BC850BWH6327XTSA1 offers superior noise performance and tighter hFE distribution for precision AF amplification, while maintaining AEC-Q101 compliance and thermal robustness in SOT-323 - making it optimal for automotive and industrial signal-path applications where SNR and reliability are non-negotiable.

FAQ
Is BC850BWH6327XTSA1 pin-compatible with BC847BWH6327XTSA1?
Yes - both devices use the SOT-323 (SC-70) package with identical pinout: Pin 1 = Emitter, Pin 2 = Base, Pin 3 = Collector. No PCB layout change is needed when substituting between these parts, though electrical performance differs in noise figure and transition frequency.
What is the maximum operating temperature for BC850BWH6327XTSA1 in continuous operation?
The junction temperature (Tj) must not exceed 150 °C. At ambient temperatures above 85 °C, derating is required: Ptot decreases linearly from 250 mW at TS = 124 °C to zero at TS = 150 °C, per the thermal resistance RthJS ≤ 105 K/W specification.
Does BC850BWH6327XTSA1 support pulse operation beyond its DC ratings?
Yes - the device supports pulsed collector current up to 200 mA (ICM) for durations ≤10 ms, provided duty cycle D ≤ 2%. Permissible pulse load curves in the datasheet confirm safe operation at 5× DC current for short intervals without thermal runaway or parameter shift.
How does the BC850B grade differ from BC850C in terms of hFE?
BC850B specifies hFE = 200–450 at IC = 2 mA and VCE = 5 V, while BC850C specifies hFE = 420–800 under identical conditions. The B-grade provides tighter mid-range gain for predictable biasing in linear amplifiers; C-grade suits high-gain, low-base-current applications like Darlington drivers.
