Product details
Overview
BCX51H6327XTSA1 from Infineon Technologies is a PNP silicon bipolar junction transistor designed for audio-frequency driver and output stages. It features VCEO = 45 V, IC = 1 A continuous collector current, VCE(sat) ≤ 0.5 V at IC = 500 mA / IB = 50 mA, hFE = 63–100 at IC = 150 mA, and SOT-89 surface-mount package-used in low-voltage linear amplifiers and relay drivers.
For engineers reviewing the BCX51H6327XTSA1 datasheet, BCX51H6327XTSA1 pinout, BCX51H6327XTSA1 application, or BCX51H6327XTSA1 equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed VCEO rating, low saturation voltage under high-current switching, DC gain consistency across IC = 5–500 mA, thermal resistance (RthJS ≤ 15 K/W), and AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive-grade reliability.
Technical Context
This PNP BJT operates in linear and saturated switching modes with fixed-emitter biasing topology. Its complementary NPN counterparts (BCX54–BCX56) enable push-pull stage design, while the SOT-89 thermally enhanced package supports >1 W dissipation at TS ≤ 120 °C.
Electrical behavior is characterized by tight V(BR)CEO tolerance (45 V min), low leakage (ICBO ≤ 0.1 µA at 30 V), and fT = 125 MHz typical-enabling stable operation up to mid-AF range without parasitic oscillation in properly decoupled layouts.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCEO | 45 V - Maximum safe collector-emitter voltage before breakdown in common-emitter configuration |
| IC | 1 A - Continuous DC collector current rating at TS ≤ 120 °C |
| VCE(sat) | ≤ 0.5 V @ IC = 500 mA, IB = 50 mA - Low conduction loss in saturated switch applications |
| hFE | 63–100 @ IC = 150 mA, VCE = 2 V - Predictable current amplification for bias network design |
| fT | 125 MHz typ. @ IC = 50 mA, VCE = 10 V - Supports stable small-signal amplification up to ~10 MHz practical bandwidth |
| RthJS | ≤ 15 K/W - Enables 2 W total power dissipation with ≤30 K temperature rise from solder point to junction |
| AEC-Q101 | Qualified - Meets stress-test requirements for automotive electronic components (temperature cycling, HTRB, etc.) |
Pinout & Package
SOT-89 package: 3-pin, single-ended surface-mount plastic case with exposed emitter pad for thermal enhancement and mechanical anchoring. Pin 1 = Base, Pin 2 = Collector, Pin 3 = Emitter.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (Base) | Control input | Receives forward-biased current to turn on PNP conduction; requires current-limiting resistor in series with driving source |
| 2 (Collector) | High-side current sink | Connected to positive supply rail in common-emitter switch; carries full load current when saturated |
| 3 (Emitter) | Reference terminal | Typically tied to system ground or higher potential; provides low-impedance thermal path via exposed metal tab |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low VCE(sat) | Ensures <0.5 V drop at 500 mA, minimizing power loss and heat generation in switching regulators and LED drivers |
| AEC-Q101 qualification | Validates robustness for automotive body electronics including HVAC actuators and lighting control modules |
| Complementary NPN pairing | Enables direct replacement with BCX54–BCX56 in push-pull or Class-B amplifier designs without layout change |
| RoHS-compliant Pb-free finish | Meets EU Directive 2011/65/EU and supports lead-free reflow soldering profiles (peak 260 °C) |
Applications
| Automotive Door Lock Actuator | Industrial Relay Driver |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Driving 12 V DC solenoid coils in vehicle door latch mechanisms requiring intermittent 800 mA pulses. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: PNP switch sinking current from coil to ground during activation; base driven by microcontroller GPIO through current-limiting resistor. Use Value: VCEO = 45 V exceeds 14 V nominal battery + load dump margin; RthJS ≤ 15 K/W prevents thermal shutdown during repeated 500 ms actuation cycles. | Use Scenario: Controlling 24 V industrial relays with 500 Ω coil impedance in PLC I/O modules. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-side switch (emitter-connected to 24 V) enabling ground-referenced logic control of relay coil. Use Value: hFE ≥ 63 ensures sufficient drive capability with ≤5 mA base current; SOT-89 footprint allows compact board layout near relay terminals. |
| Audio Pre-amplifier Stage | DC Motor Speed Control |
Use Scenario: Low-noise voltage amplifier in portable audio equipment feeding line-level signals to ADC inputs. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Common-emitter small-signal amplifier biased at IC = 5 mA with emitter degeneration resistor. Use Value: fT = 125 MHz provides >10 MHz bandwidth margin at audio frequencies; low ICBO (<0.1 µA) minimizes offset drift over temperature. | Use Scenario: PWM-controlled H-bridge half-bridge element for bidirectional 12 V brushed DC motor in medical pumps. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Complementary PNP switch paired with NPN in totem-pole output stage for low-side current sourcing. Use Value: V(BR)CBO = 45 V withstands inductive kickback; fast turn-off due to low minority-carrier lifetime enables clean 20 kHz PWM edge transitions. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar PNP transistor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BCX51-16H6327XTSA1 | Same die, but hFE binned to 100–160 range (vs. 63–100); identical VCEO, VCE(sat), and package | Preferred where tighter hFE tolerance reduces need for feedback trimming in precision current sources | Select when gain consistency across production units is critical and higher hFE simplifies base drive design |
| MMBT5087LT1G | Lower IC rating (150 mA), smaller SOT-23 package, VCEO = 50 V, hFE = 85–375 - wider gain spread, no AEC-Q101 qualification | Suitable only for signal-level switching or low-power bias networks-not for 500 mA+ loads | Choose only for space-constrained PCBs with sub-200 mA current demands and non-automotive environments |
Compared with BCX51H6327XTSA1, BCX51-16 offers higher and tighter hFE for improved current-source accuracy, while MMBT5087LT1G sacrifices current capacity and automotive qualification for footprint reduction-making it unsuitable for direct replacement in power-switching roles.

FAQ
Is BCX51H6327XTSA1 pin-compatible with BCX51-16H6327XTSA1?
Yes-both share identical SOT-89 package outline, pin 1 (Base), pin 2 (Collector), pin 3 (Emitter) assignment, and mechanical footprint. The only difference is hFE binning; electrical and thermal characteristics otherwise match exactly, enabling drop-in substitution in existing layouts.
What is the maximum allowable PCB copper area for thermal relief under 2 W dissipation?
With RthJS ≤ 15 K/W and 2 W dissipation, junction-to-solder-point rise is ≤30 K. To maintain Tj ≤ 150 °C at TA = 85 °C, use ≥100 mm² of 2-oz copper connected to the emitter pad via ≥3 thermal vias (0.3 mm diameter) to internal ground plane.
Can BCX51H6327XTSA1 be used in avalanche mode?
No-this device is not rated or characterized for controlled avalanche operation. Its V(BR)CEO = 45 V is a DC breakdown limit; exceeding it risks irreversible junction damage. For inductive load protection, always use external flyback diodes or snubbers.
Does the "H6327" suffix indicate tape-and-reel packaging?
Yes-"H6327" denotes Infineon's standard 1,000-piece tape-and-reel packaging on 180 mm reels, with moisture sensitivity level (MSL) 1 and Pb-free RoHS-compliant finish, ready for automated SMT placement without baking.
