Product details
Overview
BCX5316H6327XTSA1 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 = 80 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 used in automotive body control modules for relay and lamp driving.
For engineers reviewing the BCX5316H6327XTSA1 datasheet, BCX5316H6327XTSA1 pinout, BCX5316H6327XTSA1 application, or BCX5316H6327XTSA1 equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed hFE range at high IC, low VCE(sat) under 500 mA load, thermal resistance RthJS ≤ 15 K/W, AEC-Q101 qualification, and complementary NPN pairing with BCX56-16.
Technical Context
This PNP BJT operates in active, saturation, and cutoff regions with DC current gain specified across three test conditions: hFE ≥ 100 at IC = 150 mA (BCX53-16 grade), ≥ 160 at IC = 500 mA, and ≥ 250 at IC = 5 mA. Its fT = 125 MHz enables stable operation up to mid-VHF frequencies in oscillator and RF buffer roles.
The device supports pulsed collector currents up to 1.5 A (tp ≤ 10 ms) and maintains V(BR)CEO = 80 V and V(BR)CBO = 100 V at IC = 10 mA and 100 µA respectively. Thermal derating begins at TS = 120 °C, with Ptot = 2 W at TS ≤ 120 °C and RthJS ≤ 15 K/W.

| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BCX53-16,115 (Nexperia) | Same VCEO = 80 V, hFE = 100–250, but RthJS = 18 K/W (vs. Infineon's ≤15 K/W); no AEC-Q101 documentation provided | Not qualified for automotive under-hood use; suitable for industrial control where thermal margin is relaxed | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs thermal performance and automotive qualification requirements |
| MJD2955G (ON Semiconductor) | Higher Ptot = 15 W, TO-220 package, VCEO = 60 V (lower than BCX5316's 80 V); hFE = 20–70 at IC = 4 A | Requires heatsink; suited for high-power linear regulation, not space-constrained SMT designs | Select only when >1 A continuous current and forced-air cooling are available |

FAQ
Is BCX5316H6327XTSA1 pin-compatible with BCX53-16 from other manufacturers?
Yes-BCX5316H6327XTSA1 uses the standard SOT-89 package with pin 1 = Emitter, pin 2 = Collector, pin 3 = Base. This matches the JEDEC MO-220 footprint and mechanical layout of all BCX53-16 variants, including Nexperia and ON Semiconductor equivalents. No PCB redesign is required for drop-in replacement.
What is the maximum allowable base current for continuous operation?
The absolute maximum rated base current is IB = 100 mA per datasheet. For reliable continuous operation, design base drive to maintain IB ≤ 50 mA, ensuring hFE remains within specification and preventing localized heating at the base-emitter junction.
Does BCX5316H6327XTSA1 support operation at −40 °C ambient?
Yes-its specified storage temperature range is −65 °C to +150 °C, and electrical characteristics are guaranteed from −55 °C to +150 °C junction temperature. At −40 °C ambient with typical PCB thermal resistance, it operates fully within spec for automotive body electronics applications.
Can this transistor be used in a complementary pair with BCX56-16?
Yes-BCX5316H6327XTSA1 (PNP) and BCX56-16 (NPN) share matched VCEO/VCBO, hFE grading, and SOT-89 package. Their complementary characteristics are explicitly documented in Infineon's BCX51–BCX56 datasheet for Class-B and push-pull amplifier designs.
