Product details
Overview
BSP50E6327HTSA1 from Infineon Technologies is an NPN silicon Darlington transistor in SOT-223 package, designed for medium-power switching applications with high current gain (hFE = 1000–2000), low VCE(sat) (1.3 V @ IC = 500 mA, IB = 0.5 mA), and VCEO = 45 V. It supports automotive-grade reliability per AEC-Q101 and operates up to Tj = 150 °C.
For engineers reviewing the BSP50E6327HTSA1 datasheet, BSP50E6327HTSA1 pinout, BSP50E6327HTSA1 application, or BSP50E6327HTSA1 equivalent, key selection factors include DC current gain stability at IC = 150–500 mA, thermal resistance RthJS ≤ 17 K/W, saturation voltage behavior under pulsed drive, and complementary PNP pairing with BSP60 series.
Technical Context
This Darlington pair integrates two NPN transistors in cascade to achieve high hFE while maintaining single-base control. Its internal structure enables low base drive requirements and robust switching performance at collector currents up to 1 A DC and 2 A peak (tp ≤ 10 ms).
The device features VCE(sat) ≤ 1.8 V at IC = 1 A / IB = 1 mA and fT = 200 MHz (typ.), supporting fast turn-on (ton = 400 ns) and moderate turn-off (toff = 1500 ns) in inductive load switching circuits.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCEO | 45 V - Maximum safe collector-emitter voltage before breakdown under open-base condition |
| hFE | 1000–2000 - High DC current gain enables microampere-level base drive for 500 mA collector load |
| VCE(sat) | 1.3 V (max) @ IC = 500 mA, IB = 0.5 mA - Low saturation voltage reduces conduction loss in power switches |
| Ptot | 1.5 W @ TS ≤ 124 °C - Total dissipation limit defines heatsink requirement for continuous operation |
| RthJS | ≤ 17 K/W - Junction-to-solder-point thermal resistance determines PCB copper area needed for thermal management |
| fT | 200 MHz (typ.) @ IC = 100 mA, VCE = 5 V - Transition frequency sets upper bound for small-signal amplification bandwidth |
| toff | 1500 ns (typ.) - Turn-off delay impacts minimum switching frequency and energy loss in PWM-driven loads |
Pinout & Package
SOT-223 package with 4-pin configuration: Pin 1 = Base, Pin 2 = Collector, Pin 3 = Emitter, Pin 4 = Collector (tab). The exposed collector tab provides low-inductance, high-current path and serves as primary thermal interface to PCB copper pour.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 | Base | Control input; requires current-limited drive to avoid exceeding IB(max) = 100 mA |
| Pin 2 | Collector | Main high-current output node; electrically and thermally connected to Pin 4 |
| Pin 3 | Emitter | Reference terminal for load return path; common connection point for emitter resistor biasing |
| Pin 4 | Collector (Tab) | Exposed metal pad; must be soldered to ≥ 1 cm² copper area for thermal compliance and current handling |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualified | Validated for automotive electronics per stress test requirements including HTOL, TC, HTRB |
| High hFE (1000–2000) | Enables direct drive from MCU GPIOs without external pre-driver stages |
| Low VCE(sat) (≤1.8 V) | Reduces power loss by >30% vs. standard NPN at IC = 1 A, improving efficiency in relay/LED drivers |
| RoHS-compliant SOT-223 | Lead-free termination and halogen-free molding compound meet EU environmental directives |
| Complementary PNP pairing | Direct functional match with BSP60 series for push-pull or H-bridge configurations |
Applications
| Automotive Relay Drivers | Industrial Solenoid Controls |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Driving 12 V automotive relays (e.g., HVAC, lighting, fuel pump) from 3.3 V/5 V microcontrollers. IC Role / Device Role: Medium-power NPN Darlington switch providing galvanic isolation and current amplification between logic-level input and inductive load. Use Value: Eliminates need for discrete driver stages; VCE(sat) ≤ 1.3 V ensures < 0.65 W loss at 500 mA, enabling compact PCB layout without active cooling. | Use Scenario: Controlling 24 V industrial solenoids in PLC I/O modules with ambient temperatures up to 85 °C. IC Role / Device Role: High-gain switching element interfacing fieldbus controller outputs to electromagnetic actuator coils. Use Value: hFE ≥ 1000 allows reliable turn-on with ≤ 500 µA base current, reducing MCU port loading and simplifying level-shifting design. |
| DC Motor Direction Control | LED Array Power Switching |
Use Scenario: Half-bridge leg in bidirectional 12 V brushed DC motor control for automotive seat/mirror actuators. IC Role / Device Role: Low-side switching transistor in H-bridge topology, paired with BSP60 PNP for complementary high-side drive. Use Value: Matched VCEO/VCBO ratings and thermal characteristics with BSP60 enable balanced switching timing and reduced shoot-through risk. | Use Scenario: On/off control of high-brightness LED strings (e.g., automotive interior lighting, signage) requiring >500 mA steady-state current. IC Role / Device Role: Constant-current switch regulating LED current via emitter resistor feedback and Darlington gain stability. Use Value: Tight hFE tolerance (1000–2000) ensures consistent LED brightness across production batches without individual calibration. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar NPN Darlington switching applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BCP56-10T1G | VCEO = 80 V, hFE = 250–630, SOT-223, lower gain but higher voltage rating | Better suited for 48 V industrial systems; insufficient gain for direct MCU drive at low IB | Select when higher breakdown margin is critical and external base amplification is acceptable |
| BSP52E6327HTSA1 | VCEO = 80 V, same package/pinout, hFE = 1000–2000, higher voltage headroom | Drop-in replacement where 45 V rating is marginal; identical thermal and drive characteristics | Choose for upgraded voltage safety margin without layout or firmware changes |
Compared with BCP56-10T1G, BSP50E6327HTSA1 delivers 3× higher DC gain for low-base-drive designs but trades 35 V in VCEO; versus BSP52, it offers identical gain and thermal behavior at reduced voltage rating-ideal for cost-optimized 12–24 V systems.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous collector current for BSP50E6327HTSA1?
The absolute maximum continuous collector current is 1 A at TS ≤ 124 °C. Derating is required above this case temperature; at 150 °C junction temperature, the usable DC current drops to approximately 650 mA based on thermal resistance and power dissipation limits.
Can BSP50E6327HTSA1 be used in linear amplifier applications?
No-it is optimized for switching operation, not linear amplification. Its Darlington structure introduces significant VBE(sat) (~2.2 V) and nonlinear hFE variation with IC, making it unsuitable for Class-A or AB audio amplifiers where linearity and low distortion are required.
Is the SOT-223 pinout compatible with other Infineon Darlington transistors?
Yes-BSP50, BSP51, BSP52, and their PNP complements BSP60–BSP62 share identical SOT-223 pinout: Pin 1 = Base, Pin 2 = Collector, Pin 3 = Emitter, Pin 4 = Collector (tab). This enables footprint reuse across voltage grades and polarity types.
Does BSP50E6327HTSA1 require an external base resistor?
Yes-a series base resistor is mandatory to limit IB within 100 mA absolute maximum. For typical 5 V MCU drive with hFE = 1500 and IC = 500 mA, a 4.7 kΩ resistor ensures IB ≈ 0.9 mA, well within safe operating area and avoiding thermal runaway.
