Product details
Overview
BCP49H6419 from Infineon Technologies is an NPN silicon Darlington transistor designed for general-purpose audio-frequency switching and amplification. It delivers 500 mA DC collector current, 60 V VCEO, minimum hFE of 2000 at 100 µA IC, and operates up to 150 °C junction temperature in automotive-grade SOT223 package.
For engineers reviewing the BCP49H6419 datasheet, BCP49H6419 pinout, BCP49H6419 application, or BCP49H6419 equivalent, key selection criteria include Darlington gain linearity across 100 µA–500 mA IC, VCE(sat) ≤1 V at 100 mA/0.1 mA drive, thermal resistance RthJS ≤17 K/W, and AEC-Q101 qualification for under-hood use.
Technical Context
This Darlington pair integrates two NPN transistors in cascade to achieve high DC current gain (hFE = 10,000 max at 100 mA) while maintaining low base drive requirements. Its structure supports linear amplification and saturated switching with VBE(sat) ≤1.5 V and fT = 200 MHz at 50 mA.
The device uses a monolithic die in SOT223 with exposed collector tab for thermal conduction. Electrical characteristics are specified across −65 °C to +150 °C, with ICBO < 10 µA at 150 °C and Ccb = 6.5 pF at 10 V - enabling stable operation in thermally demanding analog and power control circuits.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCEO | 60 V - maximum safe collector-emitter voltage before breakdown in common-emitter configuration |
| IC (DC) | 500 mA - continuous collector current rating at TS = 124 °C, defining steady-state load capability |
| hFE min | 2000 @ 100 µA - guaranteed minimum DC current gain at low signal level, critical for sensor interface sensitivity |
| VCE(sat) | ≤1 V @ 100 mA/0.1 mA - low saturation voltage ensures minimal power loss in switching applications |
| RthJS | ≤17 K/W - thermal resistance from junction to soldering point, enabling direct PCB copper pad heatsinking |
| fT | 200 MHz @ 50 mA - transition frequency confirming usable bandwidth for AF and low-speed digital switching |
| AEC-Q101 | Qualified - validated for automotive electronics per stress test standard, including HTOL and temperature cycling |
Pinout & Package
SOT223 package with exposed collector tab for thermal dissipation; 4-pin configuration with emitter (Pin 1), base (Pin 2), collector (Pin 3), and collector (Pin 4) - dual collector terminals reduce bond wire inductance and improve current sharing.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 | Emitter | Main current return path; connected internally to first transistor emitter and second transistor emitter |
| Pin 2 | Base | Input control terminal; drives first transistor base, requiring only ~0.1 mA for 100 mA output |
| Pin 3 & Pin 4 | Collector | Dual collector terminals tied to both transistors' collectors; enables parallel routing and lower thermal impedance |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| High hFE linearity | hFE ≥4000 @ 10 mA and ≥10,000 @ 100 mA - enables precise current mirroring and low-input-current amplifier stages |
| Pb-free RoHS compliance | Meets EU Directive 2011/65/EU without exemption - suitable for consumer and industrial end products without lead content restrictions |
| Thermal robustness | Tj = 150 °C max and RthJS ≤17 K/W - supports operation on compact PCBs without forced air cooling |
| Low leakage at high temp | ICBO ≤10 µA @ 150 °C - maintains off-state integrity in engine-control modules exposed to under-hood heat |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Darlington transistor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BCP52H6419 | PNP complement; same SOT223 package, VCEO = −60 V, hFE ≥2000 @ 100 µA | Required where complementary push-pull output stage or high-side switching is needed | Select when designing symmetrical amplifier outputs or sourcing current from positive rail |
| MJD44H11G | TO-220 package; higher Ptot = 1.75 W, VCEO = 80 V, but no AEC-Q101 qualification | Suitable for non-automotive industrial power supplies needing >500 mA peak current | Choose for higher power dissipation margin where board space allows TO-220 mounting |
Compared with BCP52H6419, this part provides NPN polarity essential for low-side switching; versus MJD44H11G, it trades package size and absolute voltage rating for automotive qualification and surface-mount compatibility.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable base current for continuous operation?
The absolute maximum DC base current is 100 mA, but for reliable long-term operation, base current should be limited to ≤10 mA. At 100 mA IC, typical drive is 0.1 mA; exceeding 10 mA risks thermal runaway due to internal power dissipation in the base region, especially above 100 °C ambient.
Can BCP49H6419 be used in linear amplifier configurations?
Yes - its hFE linearity across 100 µA–100 mA and VCE(sat) < 1 V support Class A and AB amplifier biasing. However, thermal derating must be applied: at 25 °C ambient, maximum continuous IC is ~350 mA to maintain Tj < 150 °C with standard 2-layer PCB copper area.
Is the SOT223 package lead-free and RoHS-compliant?
Yes - BCP49H6419 uses a fully Pb-free termination finish compliant with RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU. The package contains no lead in solder plating, mold compound, or die attach; full material declaration is available in Infineon's ELV and RoHS compliance documentation.
How does AEC-Q101 qualification impact design-in for non-automotive applications?
AEC-Q101 qualification ensures robustness against temperature cycling, humidity, and mechanical shock - making BCP49H6419 suitable for harsh industrial environments like factory automation or outdoor equipment. It does not require automotive-specific documentation, and qualification adds no cost or lead time penalty for commercial use.
