Product details
Overview
BSP61E6327HTSA1 from Infineon Technologies is a PNP silicon Darlington transistor designed for medium-power switching applications, featuring 60 V collector-emitter breakdown voltage (V(BR)CEO), 1 A continuous collector current (IC), and low 1.3 V collector-emitter saturation voltage (VCEsat) at IC = 500 mA / IB = 0.55 mA. It is commonly used in automotive body control modules for driving relays and lamps.
For engineers reviewing the BSP61E6327HTSA1 datasheet, BSP61E6327HTSA1 pinout, BSP61E6327HTSA1 application, or BSP61E6327HTSA1 equivalent, key selection criteria include V(BR)CEO, DC current gain (hFE ≥ 1000), thermal resistance (RthJS ≤ 17 K/W), SOT223 package compatibility, and AEC-Q101 qualification status.
Technical Context
This Darlington pair integrates two cascaded PNP transistors to achieve high DC current gain (hFE = 1000–2000 at IC = 150–500 mA) while maintaining low VCEsat and robust thermal performance. Its complementary NPN counterparts are BSP50–BSP52 series.
The device operates with VEB ≤ 5 V and supports pulse operation up to 2 A (tp ≤ 10 ms). Junction temperature is rated to 150 °C, and it meets RoHS and AEC-Q101 reliability standards for automotive use.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| V(BR)CEO | 60 V - Maximum safe collector-emitter voltage before avalanche breakdown under open-base conditions |
| IC | 1 A - Continuous DC collector current rating at TS ≤ 124 °C |
| VCEsat | 1.3 V max at IC = 500 mA, IB = 0.55 mA - Low saturation voltage reduces conduction loss in switching loads |
| hFE | 1000–2000 - High DC current gain enables direct microcontroller GPIO drive without external base amplification |
| RthJS | ≤ 17 K/W - Thermal resistance from junction to soldering point supports 1.5 W dissipation with adequate PCB copper area |
| fT | 200 MHz - Transition frequency confirms usable bandwidth for moderate-speed switching (e.g., PWM up to ~50 kHz) |
Pinout & Package
Package: SOT-223 (4-pin, standard leadframe variant with emitter-collector-emitter-collector pinout). Pin 1 = Base, Pin 2 = Collector, Pin 3 = Emitter, Pin 4 = Collector (dual collector configuration for enhanced current handling and thermal path).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 | Base | Control input; accepts low-current drive (≤100 mA) to switch up to 1 A load |
| Pin 2 | Collector | Main high-side current output terminal; electrically tied to Pin 4 |
| Pin 3 | Emitter | Common emitter reference; connected to system ground or low-side return path |
| Pin 4 | Collector | Secondary collector terminal; paralleled with Pin 2 to improve current sharing and thermal spreading |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualified | Validated for automotive applications including engine control, lighting, and body electronics |
| Pb-free (RoHS compliant) | Meets EU Directive 2011/65/EU; compatible with lead-free reflow profiles |
| Dual collector terminals | Reduces effective current density and improves thermal dissipation in SOT-223 footprint |
| Low VCEsat (1.3 V) | Minimizes power loss in 12 V automotive loads such as solenoids and incandescent lamps |
| High hFE (≥1000) | Enables direct drive from 3.3 V or 5 V logic outputs without base resistors or pre-driver stages |
Applications
| Automotive Relay Driver | LED Headlamp Dimming Control |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Driving 12 V automotive relays in body control units where microcontroller GPIOs must directly switch 500–800 mA coil currents. IC Role / Device Role: High-gain PNP Darlington switch providing current amplification and low-loss saturation. Use Value: Eliminates need for discrete base driver stage; reduces BOM count and PCB area while maintaining <1.5 V dropout at full load. | Use Scenario: PWM-controlled dimming of high-brightness LED headlamps in adaptive front-lighting systems (AFS). IC Role / Device Role: Medium-power linear/PWM current switch interfacing between MCU PWM output and LED string cathode. Use Value: Delivers stable 1 A peak current with <1.3 V conduction drop, minimizing heat generation near optical assemblies. |
| Industrial Solenoid Interface | Power Supply Enable Switch |
Use Scenario: Controlling 24 V DC industrial solenoids in PLC I/O modules requiring robust transient immunity and thermal margin. IC Role / Device Role: High-voltage PNP switch enabling reverse-polarity protected load activation from isolated logic signals. Use Value: Withstands 60 V V(BR)CEO and dissipates ≤1.5 W with minimal heatsinking-reducing system cost vs. MOSFET + gate driver solutions. | Use Scenario: Enabling auxiliary 5 V or 3.3 V rails in embedded power management subsystems using enable signals from PMICs or supervisors. IC Role / Device Role: Low-leakage, high-gain pass element acting as programmable series switch in LDO-like configurations. Use Value: ICES ≤ 10 µA ensures rail isolation during standby; hFE > 1000 guarantees reliable turn-on even with weak enable sources. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar PNP Darlington switching applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BCP61T1G | Same V(BR)CEO (60 V), but lower hFE (min 250), higher VCEsat (1.5 V typ), SOT-223-3 package (no dual collector) | Limited to lower-current or less thermally constrained designs due to reduced gain and single-collector thermal path | Prefer when cost sensitivity outweighs thermal or gain requirements |
| ZTX951 | Higher V(BR)CEO (80 V), same SOT-223-4 pinout, but non-AEC-Q101 and higher VCEsat (1.6 V) | Suitable for industrial 24 V systems but not qualified for automotive environments | Select only for non-automotive applications requiring extended voltage margin |
Compared with BCP61T1G and ZTX951, BSP61E6327HTSA1 offers superior combination of AEC-Q101 compliance, dual-collector thermal design, and guaranteed hFE ≥ 1000-making it optimal for space-constrained automotive switching where reliability and low-loss operation are critical.

FAQ
Is BSP61E6327HTSA1 pin-compatible with BSP60 or BSP62?
Yes - all three share identical SOT-223-4 package outline and pin assignment (Pin 1 = Base, Pin 2 = Collector, Pin 3 = Emitter, Pin 4 = Collector). The difference lies solely in voltage ratings: BSP60 (45 V), BSP61 (60 V), BSP62 (80 V). No PCB redesign is needed when upgrading within the series.
What is the maximum allowable base current for continuous operation?
The absolute maximum base current is 100 mA per Infineon's datasheet. For reliable continuous operation at IC = 1 A, recommended base drive is 1 mA (ensuring hFE ≥ 1000), with peak pulses up to 100 mA permitted only for tp ≤ 10 ms and duty cycle < 2%.
Does BSP61E6327HTSA1 require an external base resistor?
No - its high hFE (≥1000) allows direct connection to 3.3 V or 5 V GPIOs. However, a series base resistor (e.g., 4.7 kΩ) is recommended to limit inrush current during switching and improve noise immunity in automotive EMI environments.
Can BSP61E6327HTSA1 be used in linear regulator pass applications?
It can operate in linear mode, but is optimized for switching. At IC = 1 A, VCEsat = 1.3–1.8 V implies ≥1.3 W dissipation - requiring significant copper area on the SOT-223 pad. For linear regulation, dedicated pass transistors with lower RthJA or MOSFETs are preferred.
