Product details
Overview
BCX71KE6327HTSA1 from Infineon Technologies is a PNP silicon small-signal transistor designed for audio-frequency input stages and driver circuits. It delivers VCEO = 45 V, hFE = 100–110 (at IC = 2 mA), VCE(sat) ≤ 0.25 V (at IC = 10 mA), and fT = 250 MHz - enabling low-noise amplification in battery-powered portable audio preamps.
For engineers reviewing the BCX71KE6327HTSA1 datasheet, BCX71KE6327HTSA1 pinout, BCX71KE6327HTSA1 application, or BCX71KE6327HTSA1 equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed hFE group K (100–110 at 2 mA), low VCE(sat) under medium drive, SOT23 package thermal resistance (RthJS ≤ 240 K/W), and AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive signal conditioning.
Technical Context
This PNP transistor operates with fixed-emitter biasing in common-emitter configuration, supporting linear amplification up to 15 kHz with noise figure F = 2 dB (IC = 200 µA, RS = 2 kΩ). Its hFE group K ensures consistent current gain across production lots without binning.
The device uses epitaxial base technology to achieve high fT and low Ccb (1.5 pF) while maintaining V(BR)CEO = 45 V and V(BR)CBO = 45 V - enabling stable operation in 24 V rail systems with transient margin.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCEO | 45 V - supports operation in 24 V automotive and industrial supply rails with ≥2× transient headroom |
| hFE (IC = 2 mA) | 100–110 - enables predictable DC bias design in emitter-follower and Class-A amplifier stages |
| VCE(sat) | ≤ 0.25 V @ IC = 10 mA - minimizes power loss and self-heating in driver applications |
| fT | 250 MHz - ensures sufficient gain-bandwidth for audio harmonics and EMI filtering stability |
| Ccb | 1.5 pF @ VCB = 10 V - reduces Miller effect in high-gain CE configurations |
| Noise Figure | 2 dB @ IC = 200 µA - meets low-noise requirements for microphone preamplifier front-ends |
| RthJS | ≤ 240 K/W - allows 330 mW dissipation at TS ≤ 71 °C in standard PCB layouts |
Pinout & Package
Package: SOT23 - surface-mount, 3-pin plastic package with JEDEC TO-236AB outline, footprint compatible with automated pick-and-place and reflow soldering.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (B) | Base | Control terminal for forward-active bias; requires current-limited drive due to hFE-dependent base current |
| 2 (E) | Emitter | Common reference node in CE/CC configurations; connected to higher potential in PNP operation |
| 3 (C) | Collector | Output terminal sourcing current to load; reverse-biased during active operation |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualified | Validated for automotive electronics per stress test requirements (HTOL, TC, HTRB) |
| Low VCE(sat) | ≤ 0.25 V at IC = 10 mA - reduces conduction loss in discrete driver stages |
| Group K hFE | 100–110 at IC = 2 mA - eliminates need for gain binning in production assemblies |
| RoHS-compliant | Pb-free SOT23 package - meets EU Directive 2011/65/EU and JESD204B assembly compatibility |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar PNP small-signal transistor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BCX71J E6327HTSA1 | hFE = 40–100 (group J) - lower and wider gain spread than K grade | Less suitable for precision bias networks requiring tight hFE tolerance | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs gain consistency needs |
| MMBT3906LT1G | VCEO = 40 V (vs. 45 V); hFE = 100–300 (wide spread); not AEC-Q101 qualified | Not recommended for automotive environments with load-dump or temperature cycling | Acceptable for consumer-grade non-automotive designs with relaxed reliability requirements |
Compared with BCX71JE6327HTSA1 and MMBT3906LT1G, BCX71KE6327HTSA1 offers tighter hFE control and automotive qualification - critical for repeatable performance in safety-critical signal paths where gain drift or field failure must be avoided.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous collector current for BCX71KE6327HTSA1?
The absolute maximum continuous collector current is 100 mA at TS ≤ 71 °C. At higher case temperatures, derating applies per the Ptot vs. TS curve - e.g., 60 mA at TS = 100 °C. Peak pulsed current reaches 200 mA for tp ≤ 10 ms with duty cycle ≤ 2%.
Is BCX71KE6327HTSA1 suitable for switching applications?
Yes - its VCE(sat) ≤ 0.25 V at IC = 10 mA and fT = 250 MHz support efficient low-power switching up to ~10 MHz. However, it is optimized for linear AF amplification; for high-speed digital switching, dedicated logic transistors like BCP53 offer faster ton/toff.
How does the hFE group K differ from other BCX71 variants?
Group K specifies hFE = 100–110 at IC = 2 mA and VCE = 5 V - narrower than group J (40–100) or group H (80–140). This tight spread simplifies bias network design and improves channel-to-channel matching in multi-transistor circuits.
Does BCX71KE6327HTSA1 require heatsinking in typical SOT23 PCB layouts?
No - with RthJS ≤ 240 K/W and Ptot = 330 mW at TS = 71 °C, standard 2-layer FR-4 PCBs with 10 mm² copper pour under the tab provide adequate thermal relief. Heatsinking is only needed above 200 mW sustained dissipation or in enclosed, high-ambient environments.
