Product details
Overview
BC858BL3E6327 from Infineon Technologies is a PNP silicon small-signal transistor designed for audio-frequency input stages and driver circuits. It features VCEO = 30 V, hFE = 420–520 (at IC = 2 mA), VCE(sat) ≤ 300 mV (IC = 10 mA, IB = 0.5 mA), and low noise of 1 dB (f = 1 kHz, IC = 0.2 mA). It is used in bias-stable amplifier front-ends for industrial sensor signal conditioning.
For engineers reviewing the BC858BL3E6327 datasheet, BC858BL3E6327 pinout, BC858BL3E6327 application, or BC858BL3E6327 equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed hFE group C performance, AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive-grade reliability, SOT-323 package thermal resistance (RthJS ≤ 60 K/W), and complementary pairing with BC848C NPN devices.
Technical Context
This transistor operates as a linear active-mode PNP switch or amplifier with fixed-emitter biasing topology. Its hFE group C (min 420 at IC = 2 mA) ensures consistent gain across production lots, while VCE(sat) ≤ 300 mV enables low-loss switching in discrete logic level translators.
The device uses epitaxial base construction to achieve fT = 250 MHz and Ccb = 1.5 pF, supporting stable operation up to 100 MHz with minimal Miller effect. Its 5 V VEB0 rating allows direct connection to 3.3 V microcontroller GPIOs without external base clamping.
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 24 V rail interface circuits. |
| hFE (IC = 2 mA) | 420–520 - Guaranteed DC current gain for group C; enables predictable bias point setting in emitter-follower buffers. |
| VCE(sat) | ≤300 mV - Low saturation voltage at IC = 10 mA/IB = 0.5 mA; reduces power loss in discrete load switches. |
| fT | 250 MHz - Transition frequency at IC = 20 mA/VCE = 5 V; supports RF pre-driver use up to 100 MHz. |
| Ccb | 1.5 pF - Collector-base capacitance at VCB = 10 V; limits high-frequency feedback in common-emitter amplifiers. |
| RthJS | ≤60 K/W - Junction-to-soldering-point thermal resistance; allows 250 mW dissipation at TS ≤ 135 °C in SOT-323 layout. |
| Q101 Qualified | AEC-Q101 compliant - Validated for automotive temperature cycling, humidity, and mechanical shock per stress test standard. |
Pinout & Package
BC858BL3E6327 is housed in a RoHS-compliant SOT-323 (SC-70) plastic surface-mount package with gull-wing leads and a 1.3 mm × 2.1 mm footprint.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (Base) | Current-controlled input node | Receives base drive current to modulate collector current; requires series resistor for digital GPIO interfacing. |
| 2 (Emitter) | Reference terminal for current source/sink | Connected to higher potential rail in PNP configuration; establishes emitter voltage reference for bias stability. |
| 3 (Collector) | Output current path | Delivers amplified/saturated output current to load; polarity inverted relative to base signal in common-emitter mode. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low-noise audio operation | 1 dB noise figure at IC = 0.2 mA, enabling clean signal amplification in microphone preamps. |
| High hFE consistency | Group C gain binning (420–520) ensures <±5% gain variation across batches for precision bias networks. |
| Automotive-grade reliability | AEC-Q101 qualification confirms suitability for under-hood temperature cycling (−40 °C to +125 °C junction). |
| Complementary NPN pairing | Designed as PNP counterpart to BC848C; matched VCE(sat), hFE, and fT enable balanced push-pull drivers. |
Applications
| Audio Input Stage | Level Translation |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Amplifying weak signals from electret microphones in battery-powered voice recorders. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: PNP common-emitter preamplifier with emitter-degeneration bias for gain stability.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Active current source using emitter-follower configuration with voltage reference input. Use Value: Tight hFE grouping minimizes current drift across temperature (±10% over −40 °C to +125 °C). |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar PNP small-signal transistor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BC858BVL | Same SOT-323 package; hFE group B (220–475); lower max fT (100 MHz) | Lower gain consistency; unsuitable for precision bias where group C tolerance is required | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs gain stability needs in non-critical switching. |
| MMBT3906LT1G | Same SOT-23 package; hFE 100–300; VCEO = 40 V; not AEC-Q101 qualified | Larger footprint; lacks automotive qualification; higher VCE(sat) (400 mV typical) | Choose only for non-automotive consumer designs where qualification is not mandated. |
Compared with BC858BVL and MMBT3906LT1G, BC858BL3E6327 delivers superior gain consistency (group C), lower saturation voltage, and certified automotive reliability-making it optimal for safety-critical bias and driver functions where parameter drift must be minimized.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable junction temperature for BC858BL3E6327?
The absolute maximum junction temperature (Tj) is 150 °C, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. Operation above this limit risks permanent degradation of hFE and increased leakage. Derating is required above TS = 135 °C, where total power dissipation drops linearly to zero at 150 °C.
Is BC858BL3E6327 pin-compatible with BC848C?
No-BC858BL3E6327 (PNP) and BC848C (NPN) share identical SOT-323 pinout (1=Base, 2=Emitter, 3=Collector), but their polarities are opposite. Direct substitution without circuit rework will cause functional failure; they are complementary, not interchangeable.
Does BC858BL3E6327 require external ESD protection in PCB layout?
No dedicated external ESD protection is required-the device meets HBM ESD rating of ±4 kV per AEC-Q101. However, layout best practices (short traces, ground plane proximity, and avoidance of floating nodes) remain essential to maintain that rating in system-level assembly.
Can BC858BL3E6327 operate in linear (active) mode at VCE = 1 V?
Yes-its hFE vs. IC curves confirm stable DC current gain down to VCE = 1 V. At IC = 2 mA, hFE remains ≥420 in this region, making it suitable for low-voltage linear regulators and active load applications with minimal headroom.
