Product details
Overview
BCP5616H6327XTSA1 from Infineon Technologies is an NPN silicon bipolar junction transistor designed for audio-frequency driver and output stages in linear and switching applications. It features a collector-emitter breakdown voltage of 80 V, DC current gain (hFE) of 100–250 at IC = 150 mA, VCE = 2 V, and low saturation voltage of ≤0.5 V at IC = 500 mA / IB = 50 mA. It is used in automotive amplifier output stages and industrial power control circuits.
For engineers reviewing the BCP5616H6327XTSA1 datasheet, BCP5616H6327XTSA1 pinout, BCP5616H6327XTSA1 application, or BCP5616H6327XTSA1 equivalent, key selection criteria include VCEO = 80 V, IC = 1 A continuous, SOT223 package thermal performance, and complementary PNP pairing with BCP53-16 for push-pull configurations.
Technical Context
This transistor operates as a medium-power NPN switch or linear amplifier with specified operation up to Tj = 150 °C and RthJS ≤ 15 K/W. Its fT = 100 MHz enables stable gain in AF and low-MHz switching applications, while VCEsat ≤ 0.5 V supports efficient power delivery under high-current conditions.
The device complies with AEC-Q101 stress testing for automotive use and uses Pb-free (RoHS-compliant) packaging. Its base-emitter breakdown voltage is 5 V, and it exhibits ICBO ≤ 0.1 µA at 30 V and ≤20 µA at 150 °C - critical for leakage-sensitive bias networks.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCEO | 80 V - supports rail voltages up to ±36 V in Class AB audio output stages |
| IC (cont.) | 1 A - enables direct drive of 8 Ω loads at ≥10 W without external buffering |
| hFE | 100–250 @ IC = 150 mA - ensures predictable base drive sizing across production lots |
| VCEsat | ≤0.5 V @ IC = 500 mA / IB = 50 mA - limits conduction loss to <250 mW in saturated switching |
| fT | 100 MHz - maintains usable gain through 10 MHz, suitable for wideband AF and low-speed digital switching |
| RthJS | ≤15 K/W - allows 2 W dissipation with ≤30 K rise from solder point, supporting PCB copper pour design |
| Ptot | 2 W @ TS ≤ 120 °C - defines maximum steady-state power under heatsink-limited mounting |
Pinout & Package
The BCP5616H6327XTSA1 is housed in a surface-mount SOT223 package with four terminals: three functional pins (B, C, E) and one exposed collector tab for thermal and electrical connection.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (B) | Base | Control input; requires 50 mA base drive for full saturation at 500 mA collector current |
| 2 (C) | Collector | Main current output; electrically and thermally connected to exposed metal tab (pin 4) |
| 3 (E) | Emitter | Reference node for biasing; tied to ground or negative rail in common-emitter configuration |
| 4 (C Tab) | Collector Thermal Pad | Provides low-thermal-resistance path to PCB copper; must be soldered for rated Ptot |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualified | Validated for automotive temperature cycling, humidity, and mechanical shock per JESD22 standards |
| Complementary PNP pairing | Matched gain and voltage ratings with BCP53-16 for symmetrical push-pull output stages |
| Low VCEsat | Reduces conduction loss by >40% vs. standard general-purpose transistors at 500 mA load |
| RoHS-compliant SOT223 | Enables lead-free reflow assembly without derating; footprint compatible with JEDEC MO-178AB |
| High fT / hFE product | Supports stable small-signal amplification up to 10 MHz while maintaining DC current gain >100 |
Applications
| Automotive Audio Output Stage | Industrial DC Motor Driver |

Use Scenario: Adjustable constant-current source for high-brightness LED strings (12–24 V). IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Series pass transistor regulating current via feedback-controlled base voltage. Use Value: Tight hFE spread (100–250) enables accurate current setting with minimal sense resistor tolerance impact. | Use Scenario: Pass transistor in 5 V/1 A linear regulators for noise-sensitive analog subsystems. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Voltage-controlled current source dissipating excess input-output differential. Use Value: RthJS ≤ 15 K/W allows 2 W dissipation with <30 K rise - sufficient for 7 V dropout at 1 A. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar NPN medium-power transistor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BCP56-16TA | Same die, identical VCEO, hFE, and VCEsat; differs only in tape-and-reel packaging (3,000 pcs vs. 1,000 pcs) | No functional difference; same thermal and electrical behavior in circuit | Select based on volume procurement needs and line-side reel compatibility |
| MJD127G | Higher VCEO = 100 V, lower hFE = 30–120, larger TO-252 package | Requires larger PCB area and different thermal layout; suited for higher-voltage industrial use | Choose when >80 V breakdown margin is required and SOT223 footprint is not mandatory |
Compared with BCP5616H6327XTSA1, BCP56-16TA offers identical performance in alternate packaging, while MJD127G trades SOT223 compactness for higher voltage headroom and lower gain consistency - impacting base drive design and board space.

FAQ
Is BCP5616H6327XTSA1 pin-compatible with BCP54 or BCP55 variants?
Yes - all BCP54/55/56 variants share identical SOT223 pinout (B-C-E-C tab) and mechanical footprint. However, VCEO and VCBO differ: BCP54 = 45 V, BCP55 = 60 V, BCP56 = 80 V. Substitution requires verification of voltage margin in the target circuit.
What is the maximum allowable base current for continuous operation?
The absolute maximum DC base current is 100 mA per datasheet. For reliable long-term operation at IC = 1 A, base current should be limited to ≤100 mA with appropriate current-limiting resistor or driver stage, and thermal derating applied if Tj exceeds 125 °C.
Does the exposed collector tab require electrical isolation from the PCB ground plane?
No - the collector tab is electrically connected to pin 2 (collector). If the collector node is at non-ground potential, the tab must be isolated using a thermally conductive but electrically insulating pad (e.g., silicone thermal pad with dielectric strength >500 V).
Can BCP5616H6327XTSA1 be used in parallel configurations?
Parallel operation is not recommended without individual emitter resistors due to hFE variation (100–250) and thermal runaway risk. If required, use matched devices with 0.22 Ω emitter resistors and shared thermal mass to ensure current sharing within ±15%.
