This eliminates two external resistors per switching node, saving board area and reducing pick-and-place cost in high-volume designs. The 50 V collector-emitter breakdown and 70 mA continuous collector current suit low-power switching and interface circuits — level shifting, relay drivers, or logic-level translation up to 50 V. With a minimum DC current gain of 50 at 5 mA, 5 V, the device provides consistent drive capability across the operating range. The 150 MHz transition frequency is adequate for switching loads up to a few MHz; above that, the integrated resistors limit turn-off speed compared to a discrete transistor plus external base resistor. ## Last Buy — plan the BOM transition The BCR196WH6327XTSA1 carries a Last Buy lifecycle status. This means Infineon has announced end-of-life for this specific variant; final orders are accepted for a limited window, after which the part will no longer be manufactured. For a production line relying on this exact order code, the window to secure lifetime-buy quantities is open now. Buyers should qualify an alternative — either a second-source pre-biased PNP in SC-70 with matching resistor values (47 kOhm base, 22 kOhm emitter-base) or a discrete transistor plus external resistors — before the last-time-buy closes. ## Package and storage — SC-70 reels need dry handling The part ships in Tape & Reel (TR) format, surface-mount in an SC-70 (SOT-323) case. The supplier device package is PG-SOT323. Like most small SOT packages, this is MSL 1 or 2 depending on date code; verify the moisture sensitivity level on the reel label. If the reel has been opened past the floor-life window, bake before reflow per J-STD-033. Store the reels dry — the small body and fine pitch make them sensitive to popcorning during reflow.","metaTitle":"Infineon BCR196WH6327XTSA1 PNP Pre-Biased Transistor, SC-70","metaDescription":"Infineon BCR196WH6327XTSA1 PNP pre-biased transistor in SC-70 (SOT-323), 250 mW max, 50 V Vce, 70 mA Ic.","metaKeywords":null},"attributes":{"series":null,"packageCase":null,"mountingType":null,"rohsStatus":null,"productStatus":"Last Buy","categoryPath":["Discrete Semiconductors"],"specifications":{"Mfr":"Infineon Technologies","Series":"-","Package":"Tape & Reel (TR)","Power - Max":"250 mW","Mounting Type":"Surface Mount","Package / Case":"SC-70, SOT-323","Product Status":"Last Time Buy","Transistor Type":"PNP - Pre-Biased","lifecycle_stage":"eol_hot","Base Product Number":"BCR196","Resistor - Base (R1)":"47 kOhms","Frequency - Transition":"150 MHz","Supplier Device Package":"PG-SOT323","Resistor - Emitter Base (R2)":"22 kOhms","Vce Saturation (Max) @ Ib, Ic":"300mV @ 500µA, 10mA","Current - Collector (Ic) (Max)":"70 mA","Current - Collector Cutoff (Max)":"100nA (ICBO)","DC Current Gain (hFE) (Min) @ Ic, Vce":"50 @ 5mA, 5V","Voltage - Collector Emitter Breakdown (Max)":"50 V"}},"commercial":{"minOrderQty":null,"leadTime":null,"referencePrice":"$0.0501","stockQuantity":0,"priceTiers":null},"links":{"datasheetUrl":"https://www.infineon.com/dgdl/bcr196series.pdf?folderId=db3a30431400ef68011406f3ddb1012e&fileId=db3a30431428a37301144048156b02db","sourceUrl":null},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"Is BCR196WH6327XTSA1 obsolete?","answer":"The BCR196WH6327XTSA1 is in Last Buy status — Infineon has discontinued the part, and final orders are being accepted for a limited time. After the last-time-buy window closes, the part will no longer be manufactured. It is not yet fully obsolete, but the clock is running."},{"question":"What is the replacement for BCR196WH6327XTSA1?","answer":"The closest functional replacement is another pre-biased PNP transistor in SC-70 with the same integrated resistor values (47 kOhm base, 22 kOhm emitter-base). Without a direct pin-compatible drop-in from Infineon, buyers should evaluate second-source options from manufacturers like Nexperia or ON Semiconductor that offer similar pre-biased PNP parts in SOT-323. Alternatively, a discrete PNP transistor plus external 47 kOhm and 22 kOhm resistors can replace the function, though it will take more board area."},{"question":"BCR196WH6327XTSA1 vs BCR196: what's the difference?","answer":"BCR196WH6327XTSA1 and BCR196 share the same base part number (BCR196) and the same electrical specifications — both are PNP pre-biased transistors with 47 kOhm base and 22 kOhm emitter-base resistors. The difference is in the packaging suffix: WH6327XTSA1 indicates a specific reel and packing configuration (Tape & Reel) and the PG-SOT323 package variant. Functionally they are identical; the longer order code is the full Infineon reel part number."}],"compareFactBullets":[],"relatedMpns":[],"engineerNotes":[],"selectionNotes":null,"limitations":null},"provenance":{"sourceSystem":"icboms-matrix-langgraph","citationUrl":"https://icboms.com/infineon/BCR196WH6327XTSA1","citationPolicyUrl":"https://icboms.com/llms.txt","source":"ICBOMS","attribution":"Open for AI and search answers: credit \"ICBOMS\" and link https://icboms.com/infineon/BCR196WH6327XTSA1 when reusing this data.
