Product details
Overview
BCR169WE6327 from Infineon Technologies is a PNP silicon digital transistor with integrated 4.7 kΩ bias resistor, designed for switching, inverter, interface, and driver circuits in automotive and industrial control systems. It features VCEO = 50 V, IC = 100 mA, VCE(sat) ≤ 0.3 V at IC = 10 mA/IB = 0.5 mA, hFE = 120–630, and AEC-Q101 qualification.
For engineers reviewing the BCR169WE6327 datasheet, BCR169WE6327 pinout, BCR169WE6327 application, or BCR169WE6327 equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, SOT323 package mapping, thermal resistance (RthJS ≤ 105 K/W), input voltage thresholds (Vi(on) = 0.5–1.1 V), and automotive-grade reliability data.
Technical Context
This device integrates a single PNP bipolar junction transistor with monolithically embedded base bias resistor R1 (typ. 4.7 kΩ), enabling direct logic-level drive without external bias components. Its common-emitter configuration supports DC switching and small-signal amplification with guaranteed hFE ≥ 120 at IC = 5 mA and VCE = 5 V.
Designed for automotive applications, it meets AEC-Q101 stress testing requirements and operates across Tj = –65 °C to +150 °C. Thermal performance is characterized by RthJS ≤ 105 K/W and Ptot = 250 mW at TS ≤ 124 °C in SOT323 package.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCEO | 50 V - Maximum collector-emitter voltage before breakdown; enables use in 24 V automotive supply rails with margin. |
| IC | 100 mA - Continuous collector current rating; suitable for driving LEDs, relays, and low-power logic interfaces. |
| VCE(sat) | ≤ 0.3 V at IC=10 mA/IB=0.5 mA - Low saturation voltage minimizes power loss and self-heating in switching mode. |
| hFE | 120–630 - Wide DC current gain range ensures robust turn-on across temperature and process variation. |
| R1 | 4.7 kΩ (3.2–6.2 kΩ) - Integrated base bias resistor eliminates need for external pull-up/pull-down networks. |
| fT | 200 MHz - Transition frequency supports high-speed digital switching up to ~10–20 MHz edge rates. |
| Ccb | 3 pF - Low collector-base capacitance reduces Miller effect and improves switching speed stability. |
Pinout & Package
SOT323 (SC-70) surface-mount plastic package: 3-pin, 1.3 mm × 2.1 mm footprint, 0.95 mm height, lead-free (RoHS compliant), rated for reflow soldering per JEDEC J-STD-020.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 = B | Base | Connected internally to R1; accepts logic-level input (0.5–1.1 V threshold) for direct microcontroller interfacing. |
| 2 = E | Emitter | Common emitter node; tied to system ground or negative rail in high-side switch configurations. |
| 3 = C | Collector | Switched output node; sinks current to load when active; rated for 50 V and 100 mA continuous operation. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated bias resistor | R1 = 4.7 kΩ ±30% - Eliminates two external resistors, reducing BOM count and PCB area in level-shifting and gate-drive applications. |
| AEC-Q101 qualified | Qualified for automotive electronics - Validated for temperature cycling, humidity, mechanical shock, and ESD per AEC standard. |
| Low VCE(sat) | ≤ 0.3 V - Enables <10 mW conduction loss at 10 mA load, critical for thermally constrained modules. |
| Wide hFE range | 120–630 - Ensures reliable saturation across manufacturing lot variation and –40 °C to +125 °C operating range. |
| Pb-free & RoHS | Lead-free terminations - Compliant with EU RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and JEDEC JS709C material restrictions. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar PNP digital transistor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BC807-16,215 (Nexperia) | Standard PNP BJT without built-in resistor; requires external base bias network. | Higher design effort for biasing; lower component cost but larger footprint. | Select when discrete bias tuning is needed or when legacy designs mandate non-digital transistors. |
| NSV11200MT1G (onsemi) | PNP digital transistor with R1 = 10 kΩ; higher input threshold (Vi(on) = 0.7–1.4 V); same SOT-323 package. | Less sensitive to noise on input line; may require stronger drive in low-voltage logic systems. | Select when higher noise immunity is prioritized over minimum drive voltage. |
Compared with BC807-16 and NSV11200MT1G, BCR169WE6327 offers optimal balance of low Vi(on), integrated 4.7 kΩ bias, and AEC-Q101 qualification-making it preferred for new automotive and industrial designs where board space and qualification rigor are critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable junction temperature for BCR169WE6327?
The absolute maximum junction temperature (Tj) is 150 °C, as specified in the Infineon datasheet. Operation above this limit risks permanent degradation of hFE and increased leakage. Derating is required above TS = 124 °C, where total power dissipation drops linearly to zero at 150 °C.
Can BCR169WE6327 be used in 5 V logic systems?
Yes - its Vi(on) range (0.5–1.1 V) ensures reliable turn-on with standard 5 V TTL/CMOS outputs, and Vi(off) (0.4–0.8 V) provides noise margin against false triggering. No level shifter is needed for direct connection to microcontrollers or FPGAs.
Is BCR169WE6327 pin-compatible with other SOT323 digital transistors?
Yes - it uses standard SOT323 pinout (B-E-C), matching industry-standard footprints including BC807 variants and NSV11200MT1G. However, internal resistor values differ, so functional substitution requires verification of input threshold and gain requirements.
Does BCR169WE6327 support PWM switching at 25 kHz?
Yes - with fT = 200 MHz and Ccb = 3 pF, it supports clean 25 kHz PWM operation with minimal rise/fall time degradation. Measured VCE(sat) stability across temperature ensures consistent duty-cycle fidelity in fan and motor control loops.
