Product details

Overview

BCR 162F E6327 from Infineon Technologies is a PNP silicon digital transistor with integrated bias resistors (R1 = R2 = 4.7 kΩ), designed for low-power switching, level-shifting, and interface driver applications in automotive and industrial control circuits. It features V_CEO = 50 V, I_C = 100 mA, V_CE(sat) ≤ 0.3 V at I_C/I_B = 20, h_FE ≥ 20, and AEC-Q101 qualification.

For engineers reviewing the BCR 162F E6327 datasheet, BCR 162F E6327 pinout, BCR 162F E6327 application, or BCR 162F E6327 equivalent, key selection criteria include input threshold voltage range (V_i(off) = 0.8–1.5 V, V_i(on) = 1–2.5 V), thermal resistance (R_thJS ≤ 240 K/W), SOT23 package compatibility, and automotive-grade reliability under −40 °C to +125 °C operating conditions.

Technical Context

This digital transistor integrates two matched 4.7 kΩ bias resistors to enable direct logic-level drive without external components-R1 connects base to input, R2 pulls base to emitter. Its PNP topology supports high-side switching and active-low interface configurations in 3.3 V/5 V microcontroller systems.

The device operates with guaranteed DC current gain (h_FE ≥ 20 at I_C = 5 mA, V_CE = 5 V) and low saturation voltage (V_CE(sat) ≤ 0.3 V at I_C = 10 mA, I_B = 0.5 mA), enabling efficient signal inversion and load driving in space-constrained PCB layouts.

Key Specifications

Parameter	Value and Actual Design Meaning
V_CEO	50 V - Maximum collector-emitter voltage before breakdown; enables use in 24 V automotive supply rails with margin.
I_C	100 mA - Continuous collector current rating; suitable for driving LEDs, small relays, or logic inputs.
V_CE(sat)	≤ 0.3 V at I_C/I_B = 20 - Low saturation voltage minimizes power loss and self-heating during on-state operation.
R1 / R2	4.7 kΩ ±30% - Integrated pull-up and pull-down bias network eliminates need for two external resistors per switch node.
f_T	200 MHz - Transition frequency supports fast switching up to ~10 MHz with controlled edge rates in digital interfaces.
AEC-Q101	Qualified - Meets stress test requirements for automotive electronics, including temperature cycling and HTRB.

Pinout & Package

SOT23-3 (SC-59) plastic surface-mount package with standard lead pitch of 0.95 mm, body dimensions 2.9 × 1.3 × 1.0 mm, and moisture sensitivity level MSL3.

Pin/Terminal	Circuit Role	Design Meaning
1 (Emitter)	E	Emitter terminal - connected internally to R2; serves as common reference for bias network and output return path.
2 (Collector)	C	Collector terminal - high-current output node; sinks load current when transistor is active.
3 (Base)	B	Base terminal - externally accessible node between R1 and R2; accepts logic-level input signal directly.

Key Features

Feature	Design Value
Integrated dual-bias resistor network	Reduces BOM count by two 4.7 kΩ resistors per channel and eliminates layout routing for base biasing.
Low input threshold compatibility	V_i(on) = 1–2.5 V ensures reliable turn-on with 3.3 V CMOS outputs without level translation.
Thermal robustness	R_thJS ≤ 240 K/W allows 200 mW dissipation at T_S ≤ 102 °C - supports operation on standard FR-4 with minimal copper area.
Automotive qualification	AEC-Q101 compliance confirms suitability for engine control modules, body electronics, and ADAS sensor interfaces.

Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives

The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar PNP digital transistor applications.

Alternative Part	Technical Difference	Application Difference	Selection Advice
BCR198E6327	Higher V_CEO = 80 V; same R1/R2 = 4.7 kΩ; h_FE min = 30	Better suited for 48 V battery systems and higher-voltage transient environments	Select when >50 V rail margin or enhanced noise immunity is required
NSVD120SN3T1G	PNP, R1 = 10 kΩ, R2 = 10 kΩ; V_CEO = 50 V; AEC-Q101 qualified	Higher input impedance reduces MCU drive current but raises V_i(on) threshold to 1.4–3.0 V	Prefer for ultra-low-power wake-up circuits where input leakage must be minimized

Compared with BCR162F E6327, BCR198E6327 offers higher voltage tolerance at identical footprint and biasing, while NSVD120SN3T1G trades lower drive sensitivity for reduced input loading-making each optimal for distinct voltage, power, and noise trade-offs in automotive signal chains.

FAQ

What is the maximum allowable junction temperature for continuous operation?

The BCR 162F E6327 has a maximum junction temperature (T_j) of 150 °C. Operation must ensure thermal design limits this value under worst-case ambient and power dissipation conditions. Derating begins at T_S = 102 °C, where total power dissipation drops linearly to zero at 150 °C case temperature.

Can this transistor replace a standard PNP BJT like BC807 without external resistors?

Yes-when used as a saturated switch with logic-level drive, the integrated R1/R2 network replaces the base bias resistors needed for BC807. However, it cannot substitute in linear amplifier or variable-gain configurations due to fixed internal resistor values and lack of base terminal access.

Is the SOT23-3 package lead-free and RoHS compliant?

Yes, the BCR 162F E6327 uses a Pb-free (RoHS-compliant) SOT23-3 package, confirmed in Infineon's official documentation and material declarations. The device meets EU RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and JEDEC J-STD-020 reflow profile requirements.

How does the resistor ratio R1/R2 affect switching behavior?

The R1/R2 ratio (0.9–1.1) determines input hysteresis and noise immunity: tighter matching improves consistency of V_i(on) and V_i(off) thresholds across temperature and process variation, reducing false triggering in electrically noisy automotive environments.
