Product details
Overview
BCX5116H6433XTMA1 from Infineon Technologies is a PNP silicon bipolar junction transistor designed for audio frequency driver and output stages in linear and switching applications. It features VCEO = 45 V, IC = 1 A continuous, VCE(sat) ≤ 0.5 V at IC = 500 mA / IB = 50 mA, hFE = 100–250 (at IC = 150 mA), and SOT-89 surface-mount package. It is RoHS-compliant and AEC-Q101 qualified for automotive-grade reliability.
For engineers reviewing the BCX5116H6433XTMA1 datasheet, BCX5116H6433XTMA1 pinout, BCX5116H6433XTMA1 application, or BCX5116H6433XTMA1 equivalent, key selection criteria include DC current gain consistency at high collector current, low saturation voltage under 500 mA load, thermal resistance (RthJS ≤ 15 K/W), and complementary NPN pairing with BCX54–BCX56 series.
Technical Context
This PNP BJT operates in active, saturation, and cutoff regions with specified breakdown limits: V(BR)CEO = 45 V, V(BR)CBO = 45 V, and V(BR)EBO = 5 V. Its fT = 125 MHz enables stable operation up to mid-VHF range in small-signal amplification.
Thermal design is supported by RthJS ≤ 15 K/W and Ptot = 2 W at TS ≤ 120 °C, with pulse capability up to ICM = 1.5 A (tp ≤ 10 ms). The device meets AEC-Q101 stress testing for automotive under-hood use.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCEO | 45 V - Maximum safe collector-emitter voltage before avalanche in common-emitter configuration |
| IC | 1 A - Continuous DC collector current rating for sustained linear or switching operation |
| VCE(sat) | ≤ 0.5 V at IC = 500 mA / IB = 50 mA - Low conduction loss in saturated switch mode |
| hFE | 100–250 at IC = 150 mA - Stable current amplification across production lot for predictable biasing |
| fT | 125 MHz - Enables reliable small-signal amplification up to ~100 MHz with adequate gain margin |
| RthJS | ≤ 15 K/W - Enables efficient heat transfer from junction to solder point on PCB copper pad |
| Tj max | 150 °C - Junction temperature limit supporting operation in engine control units and power supplies |
Pinout & Package
SOT-89 package: 3-pin, surface-mount, thermally enhanced plastic case with exposed emitter tab for improved heat dissipation. Pin 1 = Base, Pin 2 = Collector, Pin 3 = Emitter (standard BCX51-series pinout per Infineon outline drawing).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (Base) | Control input | Receives base current to regulate collector current; requires external current-limiting resistor in most linear applications |
| 2 (Collector) | Power output node | Connected to load or supply rail; carries full collector current and dissipates majority of power in saturation |
| 3 (Emitter) | Reference terminal | Common return path; electrically tied to PCB thermal pad for direct thermal coupling to copper pour |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualification | Validated for automotive under-hood environments including temperature cycling, humidity, and mechanical shock |
| Low VCE(sat) | Ensures <1.0 W conduction loss at 500 mA, reducing thermal load in compact power stages |
| High hFE range | Supports stable bias networks without feedback compensation across manufacturing variance |
| Complementary NPN pairing | Direct match with BCX54–BCX56 series for push-pull amplifier and H-bridge designs |
| Pb-free & RoHS compliant | Meets global environmental regulations without compromising solderability or long-term reliability |
Applications
| Automotive Lighting Control | DC Motor Driver Stage |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Switching 12 V incandescent or LED headlamp loads in body control modules. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: PNP high-side switch controlling current flow from battery to lamp load. Use Value: VCEO = 45 V provides 3× safety margin over 12 V automotive rail; low VCE(sat) minimizes self-heating during PWM dimming. | Use Scenario: Driving unidirectional brushed DC motors in HVAC actuators or seat positioners. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Single-ended output stage delivering up to 1 A to motor winding. Use Value: IC = 1 A and Ptot = 2 W support continuous 10 W motor drive; AEC-Q101 ensures lifetime reliability in vibration-prone zones. |
| Audio Power Amplifier Output | Industrial Sensor Signal Conditioning |
Use Scenario: Complementary Class-B output pair in low-power audio amplifiers (e.g., infotainment subwoofers). IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: PNP half of push-pull emitter-follower stage delivering current to speaker load. Use Value: hFE ≥ 100 at 150 mA ensures linear current delivery; fT = 125 MHz preserves audio bandwidth up to 20 kHz with margin. | Use Scenario: Current-source biasing for precision temperature or pressure sensors in PLC analog input modules. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Constant-current source setting sensor excitation level with minimal drift. Use Value: Tight hFE distribution and low ICBO (<0.1 µA at 150 °C) maintain accuracy across industrial temperature range (−40 to +125 °C). |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar PNP BJT switching and amplification applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BCX51-16TA | Same electrical specs, identical SOT-89 package, but marked with "BCX51-16" and shipped in tape-and-reel (3000 pcs/reel) vs. 1000 pcs/reel | No functional difference; compatible in all PCB layouts and thermal designs | Select when standard reel size or alternate marking is required for traceability |
| MMBT5087LT1G | Lower VCEO = 30 V, lower IC = 0.5 A, SOT-23 package (higher RthJA) | Not suitable for 45 V automotive loads or >500 mA continuous current; limited thermal performance | Only consider for space-constrained, low-power consumer applications where voltage/current margins are relaxed |
Compared with BCX5116H6433XTMA1, BCX51-16TA offers identical performance in a different packaging format, while MMBT5087LT1G trades voltage/current capability and thermal robustness for smaller footprint-making it unsuitable for automotive or industrial power-stage roles.

FAQ
Is BCX5116H6433XTMA1 pin-compatible with BCX51-16TA?
Yes-both share identical SOT-89 pinout (Pin 1 = Base, Pin 2 = Collector, Pin 3 = Emitter), same thermal pad layout, and identical electrical specifications. The only differences are marking format and reel quantity (1000 vs. 3000 pieces), making them fully interchangeable on PCBs and in assembly lines.
What is the maximum allowable base current for continuous operation?
The absolute maximum rated base current is IB = 100 mA (DC), with peak limit IBM = 200 mA for pulses ≤10 ms. For reliable 1 A collector current, typical design uses IB ≈ 50 mA (hFE ≥ 20), ensuring saturation without overstressing the base-emitter junction.
Does BCX5116H6433XTMA1 require a heatsink in 2 W operation?
No external heatsink is required if mounted on ≥1 cm² of 2-oz copper with thermal vias. With RthJS ≤ 15 K/W and ambient ≤ 70 °C, junction temperature stays below 150 °C at full 2 W dissipation-verified per Infineon AN077 thermal modeling guidelines for SOT-89 on standard FR4.
Can BCX5116H6433XTMA1 be used in complementary symmetry amplifier circuits?
Yes-it is explicitly designed as the PNP complement to BCX54–BCX56 NPN transistors. Matching hFE ranges, VCE(sat), and thermal characteristics enable balanced push-pull operation in Class-B and AB audio outputs without crossover distortion.
