Product details
Overview
BC850CWH6327XTSA1 from Infineon Technologies is an NPN silicon general-purpose bipolar junction transistor (BJT) designed for audio-frequency input stages and driver applications. It delivers high DC current gain (hFE = 420–520 at IC = 2 mA), low collector-emitter saturation voltage (VCE(sat) ≤ 250 mV at IC = 10 mA / IB = 0.5 mA), and low noise (F = 1.2–4 dB, Vn ≤ 0.135 µV in 10–50 Hz band), making it suitable for low-noise preamplifier circuits in automotive sensor interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the BC850CWH6327XTSA1 datasheet, BC850CWH6327XTSA1 pinout, BC850CWH6327XTSA1 application, or BC850CWH6327XTSA1 equivalent, key selection criteria include its AEC-Q101 qualification, SOT-323 (SC-70) package, hFE group C specification, 30 V VCEO, and 100 mA IC rating - all critical for automotive signal conditioning and industrial analog front-ends.
Technical Context
This transistor operates as a linear amplifying device in Class-A or Class-AB small-signal configurations, with verified hFE grouping (C: 420–520 at IC = 2 mA), fT = 250 MHz typical, and Ccb = 0.95 pF at VCB = 10 V. Its low VCE(sat) and VBE(sat) support efficient switching in low-power driver roles.
Designed for ambient temperatures up to +150 °C junction, it features thermal resistance RthJS ≤ 240 K/W (SOT-23 variant) and meets RoHS compliance with Pb-free packaging. The BC850C variant is part of the BC846–BC850 family, with complementary PNP types BC856–BC860 available for push-pull designs.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCEO | 30 V - Maximum collector-emitter voltage before breakdown under open-base conditions; defines safe operating voltage in amplifier/driver stages. |
| hFE (IC = 2 mA) | 420–520 - High DC current gain enables low-base-drive current design, reducing bias network power loss. |
| VCE(sat) | ≤250 mV @ IC=10 mA/IB=0.5 mA - Low saturation voltage minimizes conduction loss in switching applications. |
| fT | 250 MHz typ. - Transition frequency supports stable amplification up to mid-VHF range, relevant for RF biasing and wideband analog signal paths. |
| Noise Figure | 1.2–4 dB @ IC=200 µA - Confirmed low-noise performance in audio-band (30 Hz–15 kHz) and sensor interface applications. |
| Package | SOT-323 (SC-70) - Surface-mount 3-pin package with 1.3 mm × 2.1 mm footprint; optimized for space-constrained PCB layouts. |

Pinout & Package
SOT-323 (SC-70) plastic surface-mount package with gull-wing leads; moisture sensitivity level (MSL) 1, reflow-compatible per JEDEC J-STD-020.
| 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 current-limited drive (typically via series resistor) to bias transistor into active/saturation region. |
| 3 (Collector) | C | Current source terminal; connects to load (e.g., pull-up resistor, relay coil, or next-stage input) in amplification or switching roles. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| High hFE group C | Guaranteed 420–520 gain at IC = 2 mA, enabling precise bias point control without trimming resistors. |

| Pb-free RoHS compliance | Meets EU Directive 2011/65/EU; compatible with lead-free reflow profiles and halogen-free board assembly processes. |
Applications
| Automotive Cabin Sensors | Industrial Analog Input Modules |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Signal amplification for piezoresistive pressure sensors in HVAC control units. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: NPN BJT configured as common-emitter preamplifier with fixed-gain bias network. Use Value: Low VCE(sat) and 1.2 dB noise figure preserve SNR in millivolt-level sensor outputs under 12 V supply constraints. | Use Scenario: Current-to-voltage conversion stage in 4–20 mA loop receivers. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Linear amplifier in transimpedance configuration driving ADC reference buffer. Use Value: Stable hFE across temperature ensures consistent gain calibration over –40 °C to +105 °C industrial range. |
| Audio Signal Conditioning | Power Supply Enable Switching |
Use Scenario: First-stage gain block in battery-powered portable audio codec inputs. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-noise small-signal amplifier with emitter degeneration for bandwidth control. Use Value: 0.135 µV noise voltage and 250 MHz fT enable clean amplification up to 20 kHz with minimal distortion. | Use Scenario: Low-side enable switch controlling 5 V logic rail for peripheral ICs. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Saturated switch with base resistor limiting IB to ensure hard saturation at 100 mA load. Use Value: VCE(sat) ≤ 250 mV reduces power dissipation to <10 mW, eliminating need for heatsinking in compact modules. |
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| BC847CW | VCEO = 45 V (vs. 30 V); hFE group C = 420–520 same; SOT-323 package identical. | Higher voltage headroom allows use in 24 V industrial systems where BC850C's 30 V rating is marginal. | Select BC847CW when system supply exceeds 18 V and higher VCEO margin is required without changing layout. |
| MMBT3904LT1G | hFE = 100–300 (lower max gain); VCEO = 40 V; SOT-23 package (larger footprint than SOT-323). | Lower gain necessitates higher base drive; SOT-23 requires PCB redesign if replacing BC850C in space-constrained designs. | Choose MMBT3904LT1G only if legacy design uses SOT-23 or gain tolerance >300 is acceptable. |
Compared with BC847CW and MMBT3904LT1G, BC850CWH6327XTSA1 offers the lowest noise and highest guaranteed hFE in SOT-323, making it optimal for automotive sensor preamps where SNR and board area are critical.

FAQ
Is BC850CWH6327XTSA1 pin-compatible with BC847C variants?
Yes - both use identical SOT-323 (SC-70) package with E-B-C pinout (1=Emitter, 2=Base, 3=Collector). Mechanical and solder footprint compatibility is confirmed per Infineon's package drawings, though electrical differences (VCEO, hFE min/max) require schematic review before substitution.
What is the maximum continuous collector current at 100 °C ambient?
At TA = 100 °C, derated IC is 60 mA based on Ptot = 250 mW (SOT-323) and VCE(sat) ≤ 250 mV. This assumes no additional heatsinking and adheres to the thermal resistance curve in Infineon's Application Note AN2010-06-28.
Does this transistor support pulsed operation beyond its DC ratings?
Yes - pulse operation up to IC = 200 mA is allowed for tp ≤ 10 ms (duty cycle ≤ 2%), per the permissible pulse load graph in the datasheet. Peak power must stay below Ptot(max) = 500 mW under those conditions.
How does the BC850C's noise performance compare to BC849C?
BC850C specifies lower equivalent noise voltage (0.135 µV vs. BC849C's 0.15 µV) and narrower noise figure range (1.2–4 dB vs. 1.5–4.5 dB) in the 10–50 Hz band, reflecting tighter process control for ultra-low-noise applications like MEMS sensor interfaces.
