Product details
Overview
BCX56E6327HTSA1 from Infineon Technologies is an NPN silicon bipolar junction transistor designed for audio-frequency driver and output stages in linear and switching applications. It features 80 V collector-emitter breakdown voltage (V(BR)CEO), 1 A continuous collector current (IC), 0.5 V collector-emitter saturation voltage at IC = 500 mA / IB = 50 mA, and a transition frequency (fT) of 100 MHz - enabling use in low-to-mid-power amplifier and switching circuits.
For engineers reviewing the BCX56E6327HTSA1 datasheet, BCX56E6327HTSA1 pinout, BCX56E6327HTSA1 application, or BCX56E6327HTSA1 equivalent, key selection criteria include its SOT-89 package thermal performance (RthJS ≤ 15 K/W), AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive environments, and complementary PNP pairing with BCX52/BCX53 series in push-pull configurations.
Technical Context
This NPN transistor operates in active, saturation, and cutoff regions with DC current gain (hFE) ranging from 63 to 250 depending on collector current and bias conditions - specified at IC = 150 mA (VCE = 2 V) and extended to 250 at IC = 500 mA for high-current switching support.
Its thermal design context includes a maximum junction temperature of 150 °C and total power dissipation of 2 W at TS ≤ 120 °C, with pulse handling capability up to 1.5× ICM (1.5 A) for tp ≤ 10 ms - validated under AEC-Q101 stress testing for automotive-grade reliability.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| V(BR)CEO | 80 V - supports rail voltages up to 60 V in linear amplifiers or 48 V DC-DC switchers without breakdown risk |
| IC (continuous) | 1 A - enables direct drive of small relays, LED arrays, or pre-driver stages without external buffering |
| VCE(sat) | 0.5 V @ IC = 500 mA, IB = 50 mA - limits conduction loss to ≤250 mW, reducing thermal load in Class-A/B output stages |
| fT | 100 MHz - sufficient for audio-band amplification (≤20 kHz) and low-speed digital switching (≤10 MHz clocked logic) |
| hFE | 63–250 - provides stable current amplification across 5 mA–500 mA range, supporting both small-signal biasing and power switching |
| RthJS | ≤15 K/W - allows 2 W dissipation with ≤30 K rise from solder point, compatible with minimal copper pour on PCB |
Pinout & Package
BCX56E6327HTSA1 is housed in a surface-mount SOT-89 package with standardized 3-pin layout and exposed emitter pad for thermal conduction. The package meets RoHS requirements and is qualified per AEC-Q101 for automotive under-hood use.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (Base) | Control input | Receives base current to regulate collector-emitter conduction; requires current-limiting resistor in series for safe biasing |
| 2 (Collector) | Power output node | Connected to load or supply rail; carries full collector current and dissipates majority of heat in saturation |
| 3 (Emitter) | Reference terminal | Common return path; tied to ground or negative rail; electrically and thermally connected to exposed metal tab |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualified | Validated for automotive ambient temperatures (−50 °C to +150 °C) and humidity, vibration, and ESD stress |
| Low VCE(sat) | 0.5 V at rated IC/IB reduces power loss by >40% vs. legacy general-purpose transistors like BC337 |
| Complementary PNP pairing | Direct match with BCX52 (60 V) and BCX53 (80 V) for symmetrical push-pull output stages |
| SOT-89 thermal performance | RthJS ≤15 K/W enables 2 W operation with minimal heatsinking - suitable for space-constrained modules |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar NPN medium-power switching applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BCX56-16 | Same die, identical electrical specs; differs only in hFE binning (160–250 vs. 63–250 for E6327HTSA1) | Higher guaranteed hFE enables lower base drive current in fixed-bias designs | Select when precise current gain stability is required over wide temperature range |
| MJD112G | TO-252 package, higher IC (2 A), higher V(BR)CEO (100 V), but lower fT (30 MHz) | Better for high-current, low-frequency switching; unsuitable for audio-band linearity-critical roles | Choose for industrial motor control where thermal mass matters more than bandwidth |
Compared with BCX56-16, the E6327HTSA1 offers broader hFE tolerance for cost-sensitive designs; versus MJD112G, it trades current capacity for superior RF performance and smaller footprint - ideal for compact automotive modules.

FAQ
Is BCX56E6327HTSA1 pin-compatible with BCX54 or BCX55?
Yes - all BCX54/55/56 variants share identical SOT-89 pinout (B-C-E) and mechanical footprint. However, voltage ratings differ: BCX54 is 45 V, BCX55 is 60 V, and BCX56 is 80 V. Substitution requires verification of V(BR)CEO margin against system rail voltage and transients.
What is the maximum allowable base current for continuous operation?
The absolute maximum DC base current is 100 mA per datasheet. For reliable long-term operation, keep IB ≤ 50 mA at TA ≤ 85 °C. At IC = 500 mA, the recommended IB is 50 mA to ensure deep saturation and minimize VCE(sat) drift.
Does BCX56E6327HTSA1 require a heatsink in 2 W operation?
No external heatsink is required if the PCB provides ≥1 cm² of 2-oz copper connected to the emitter tab. With RthJS ≤15 K/W and 2 W dissipation, junction-to-solder-point rise is ≤30 K - well within the 150 °C Tj limit when board temperature stays below 120 °C.
Can BCX56E6327HTSA1 be used in linear regulator pass transistor applications?
It can serve as a pass element in low-dropout linear regulators up to ~1 A load, provided VIN − VOUT ≤ 5 V and power dissipation remains ≤2 W. Its low VCE(sat) and stable hFE support predictable dropout and thermal foldback, but SOA limitations must be checked for transient overload conditions.
