Product details
Overview
BCV27E6395HTMA1 from Infineon Technologies is an NPN silicon Darlington transistor optimized for general-purpose audio-frequency switching and amplification, featuring 30 V VCEO, 500 mA IC, minimum hFE of 4000 at 100 µA, and SOT23 package. It delivers high current gain with low saturation voltage (VCEsat ≤ 1 V at IC = 100 mA, IB = 0.1 mA) in automotive-grade AEC-Q101-qualified applications.
For engineers reviewing the BCV27E6395HTMA1 datasheet, BCV27E6395HTMA1 pinout, BCV27E6395HTMA1 application, or BCV27E6395HTMA1 equivalent, this part serves as a high-gain, low-base-drive discrete switch in power management stages, sensor interface buffers, and relay drivers where compact size and thermal robustness are critical.
Technical Context
The BCV27E6395HTMA1 implements a monolithic Darlington pair structure with integrated base-emitter resistor network absent - requiring external base drive control. Its dual-transistor configuration enables ultra-high DC current gain (hFE up to 20,000) while maintaining VCEsat ≤ 1 V and fT = 170 MHz at IC = 50 mA, VCE = 5 V.
Rated for operation from −65 °C to +150 °C junction temperature and qualified per AEC-Q101, it supports stable performance under pulsed loads (tp ≤ 10 ms, ICM = 800 mA) and exhibits Ccb = 3 pF at VCB = 10 V, enabling use in moderate-speed switching circuits without excessive Miller effect.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCEO | 30 V - Maximum collector-emitter voltage before breakdown; defines safe operating range in low-voltage switching rails. |
| IC | 500 mA continuous - Sustained collector current capability; supports driving small relays or LED arrays directly. |
| hFE (min) | 4000 at IC = 100 µA - Enables microampere-level base drive for efficient low-power control interfaces. |
| VCEsat | ≤ 1 V at IC = 100 mA, IB = 0.1 mA - Minimizes conduction loss and self-heating in linear or saturated switching modes. |
| fT | 170 MHz - Supports signal amplification and switching up to mid-VHF band; suitable for AF and low-speed digital edge shaping. |
| Ccb | 3 pF at VCB = 10 V - Limits capacitive coupling between collector and base; reduces unintended turn-on in fast-switching layouts. |
| Ptot | 360 mW at TS ≤ 74 °C - Defines maximum dissipation under defined board thermal conditions; requires PCB copper area for heatsinking. |
Pinout & Package
SOT23 plastic surface-mount package (3-pin, standard footprint), lead-free and RoHS compliant. Dimensions per Infineon outline drawing: 2.9 mm × 1.3 mm × 1.0 mm, 0.95 mm pitch, 0.25 mm lead width.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (B) | Base | Input control terminal; requires current-limited drive due to Darlington's high hFE; no internal base resistor. |
| 2 (E) | Emitter | Common emitter node; connected to ground or low-side return path; carries full load current. |
| 3 (C) | Collector | Output terminal; connects to load supply rail; must be decoupled when switching inductive loads. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualification | Validated for automotive electronics per stress test requirements including HTOL, TC, HTRB - ensures reliability in engine bay and chassis modules. |
| High hFE (up to 20,000) | Reduces required base drive current by >10× versus single bipolar transistors - simplifies microcontroller GPIO interfacing. |
| Low VCEsat (≤ 1 V) | Minimizes power loss and thermal rise in high-duty-cycle switching; improves efficiency in battery-powered sensor nodes. |
| Thermal resistance RthJS ≤ 210 K/W | Enables predictable junction temperature estimation using solder-point temperature - supports thermal-aware layout design. |
| Complementary PNP pairing (BCV26) | Allows matched push-pull output stages with symmetrical gain and saturation characteristics in analog driver circuits. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar NPN Darlington transistor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BCV27,115 (Nexperia) | Same electrical specs (VCEO = 30 V, hFE min = 4000), but not AEC-Q101 qualified; RthJS = 250 K/W vs 210 K/W. | Limited to commercial/industrial use; unsuitable for automotive under-hood deployment. | Select when AEC-Q101 compliance is unnecessary and cost sensitivity outweighs thermal margin. |
| MMBT5401LT1G (ON Semiconductor) | PNP complement (not NPN); VCEO = 150 V, hFE = 60–250 - lower gain, higher voltage rating, different polarity. | Used only in complementary pairs; cannot substitute directly in NPN-only circuits. | Choose only for PNP-side matching in push-pull designs; not a functional replacement for BCV27E6395HTMA1. |
Compared with BCV27,115, BCV27E6395HTMA1 offers tighter thermal resistance and automotive qualification; versus MMBT5401LT1G, it provides NPN polarity, Darlington gain architecture, and 30 V rating - making it uniquely suited for low-voltage, high-gain switching where reliability and compactness are prioritized.

FAQ
Is BCV27E6395HTMA1 pin-compatible with BCV27,115?
Yes - both use identical SOT23 package with pin 1 = Base, pin 2 = Emitter, pin 3 = Collector. Mechanical footprint, solder pad layout, and terminal assignment match exactly per JEDEC MO-203-AB and Infineon's SOT23 outline drawings.
What is the maximum allowable base current for continuous operation?
The absolute maximum rated base current is 100 mA (IB), with peak base current limited to 200 mA for pulses ≤10 ms. Exceeding 100 mA continuously risks thermal runaway due to power dissipation in the base-emitter junction.
Can BCV27E6395HTMA1 replace BCV47 in a circuit?
No - BCV47 has VCEO = 60 V and VCBO = 80 V, whereas BCV27E6395HTMA1 is rated for 30 V and 40 V respectively. Substitution is unsafe in circuits operating above 30 V collector-emitter potential.
Does BCV27E6395HTMA1 include an integrated base-emitter resistor?
No - it is a bare Darlington transistor without any internal biasing resistors. External base current must be supplied through a series resistor or active driver; no pull-down or pull-up networks are integrated.
