Product details
Overview
BCP49H6327XTSA1 from Infineon Technologies is an NPN silicon Darlington transistor in SOT-223 package, rated for 60 V VCEO, 500 mA DC collector current, and 10,000 hFE at IC = 100 mA, used in automotive-grade general-purpose audio-frequency switching and amplification circuits.
For engineers reviewing the BCP49H6327XTSA1 datasheet, BCP49H6327XTSA1 pinout, BCP49H6327XTSA1 application, or BCP49H6327XTSA1 equivalent, key selection criteria include its AEC-Q101 qualification, high hFE across 100 µA–500 mA range, low VCE(sat) ≤1 V at 100 mA/0.1 mA drive, and thermal resistance RthJS ≤17 K/W for thermally constrained PCB layouts.
Technical Context
This Darlington pair integrates two NPN transistors in cascade to deliver ultra-high DC current gain (hFE up to 10,000) with single-base control, enabling low-drive-current switching of moderate loads. Its VCEO = 60 V and VCBO = 80 V support operation in 24 V automotive supply rails with margin.
The device features a monolithic SOT-223 package with exposed collector tab for direct thermal coupling to PCB copper, supporting Ptot = 1.5 W at TS = 124 °C and junction temperature rating up to 150 °C - critical for under-hood automotive modules.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCEO | 60 V - supports 24 V system designs with ≥150 % voltage margin against transients |
| IC (DC) | 500 mA - enables direct driving of relays, solenoids, and LED arrays without external buffer stages |
| hFE @ IC = 100 mA | 10,000 - reduces required base drive current to ≤10 µA for full saturation, easing MCU GPIO loading |
| VCE(sat) @ IC = 100 mA | ≤1 V - limits conduction loss to ≤100 mW, improving thermal efficiency in continuous-duty applications |
| RthJS | ≤17 K/W - allows >800 mW power dissipation with ≤15 K rise above solder point, simplifying thermal layout |
| fT | 200 MHz - supports stable operation up to mid-AF range (≤20 kHz) with ample bandwidth margin |
| AEC-Q101 Qualified | Yes - validated for automotive electronics per stress test requirements including HTOL, TC, HTRB |
Pinout & Package
SOT-223 package with integrated heat sink pad (collector-connected tab), 4-pin configuration: Pin 1 = Base, Pin 2 = Collector (tab), Pin 3 = Emitter, Pin 4 = Collector (second emitter-connected collector terminal). Thermal path optimized via soldered tab to PCB copper pour.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 | Base | Control input; accepts low-current drive (≤100 µA typical for 100 mA IC) |
| Pin 2 | Collector (Tab) | Main power output node and primary thermal interface; must be soldered to ≥2 cm² copper for rated Ptot |
| Pin 3 | Emitter | Current return path; referenced to ground or load common; electrically isolated from tab |
| Pin 4 | Collector (Second) | Redundant collector connection for enhanced current sharing and lower bond-wire inductance |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-high DC current gain | hFE ≥2000 at IC = 100 µA ensures reliable turn-on with microcontroller GPIOs |
| Automotive qualification | AEC-Q101 compliance guarantees reliability in engine control, body electronics, and lighting modules |
| Low saturation voltage | VCE(sat) ≤1 V at IC = 100 mA minimizes self-heating during sustained on-state operation |
| Thermally robust package | SOT-223 with exposed collector tab achieves RthJS ≤17 K/W - 3× better than standard SOT-23 |
| Pb-free & RoHS compliant | Meets EU Directive 2011/65/EU; compatible with lead-free reflow profiles (J-STD-020) |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar NPN Darlington transistor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BCP56-16T1G | VCEO = 80 V, hFE = 2500–10,000, SOT-223, Pb-free | Higher VCEO margin but lower hFE at low IC; not AEC-Q101 qualified | Preferred for industrial non-automotive use where higher voltage headroom is needed and qualification is not required |
| BSP16 | VCEO = 60 V, hFE = 40–250, TO-92, no AEC-Q101 | Lower gain, through-hole, no thermal pad; RthJA ≈ 200 K/W vs. 17 K/W | Only suitable for low-power prototyping or legacy through-hole designs with minimal thermal constraints |
Compared with BCP56-16T1G and BSP16, BCP49H6327XTSA1 uniquely combines AEC-Q101 qualification, 10,000 hFE at 100 mA, and SOT-223 thermal performance - making it the only choice for production automotive linear switching where reliability, gain, and thermal management are jointly critical.

FAQ
Is BCP49H6327XTSA1 pin-compatible with BCP56 series?
No - although both use SOT-223 packages, BCP49 has 4 pins (Base, Collector, Emitter, Collector) while BCP56 is a 3-pin device (Base, Collector, Emitter). Pin 4 on BCP49 is a second collector terminal, not present on BCP56. Direct replacement requires PCB layout revision.
What is the maximum allowable PCB copper area for thermal performance?
For full 1.5 W power dissipation at TS = 124 °C, Infineon specifies ≥200 mm² (≈14 mm × 14 mm) of 2 oz copper connected directly to the collector tab. Smaller areas reduce Ptot linearly - e.g., 100 mm² supports ~900 mW.
Does this part support pulsed operation beyond 500 mA DC?
Yes - peak collector current ICM is rated at 800 mA for pulse widths ≤300 µs and duty cycle ≤2%. This enables short-duration surge handling in solenoid energization or relay pull-in without thermal runaway.
Can BCP49H6327XTSA1 be used in linear regulator configurations?
Yes - its VCE(sat) ≤1 V and hFE stability support linear pass operation. However, thermal design must account for power dissipation: at 500 mA and 5 V drop, 2.5 W must be managed - requiring heatsinking beyond the SOT-223 tab alone.
