50 V, 70 mA pre-biased PNP — what it does
The Infineon BCR 196F E6327 is a PNP pre-biased transistor in a SOT-723 surface-mount package, integrating two bias resistors (R1 47 kOhms, R2 22 kOhms) to simplify board layout and reduce component count in switching and driver stages. With a collector-emitter breakdown voltage of 50 V and a maximum collector current of 70 mA, it is sized for low-to-moderate load switching in applications such as relay drivers, lamp drivers, and logic-level interfacing where a single transistor with built-in bias resistors replaces a discrete resistor pair. The 150 MHz transition frequency keeps switching losses low in circuits up to a few megahertz.
The BCR 196F E6327 carries an Obsolete lifecycle status. For BOM lines that still specify this part, availability is limited to surplus and broker inventory.
250 mW power dissipation — thermal budget in SOT-723
Maximum power dissipation is 250 mW in the SOT-723 package. At 70 mA collector current and 300 mV Vce(sat) at 500 µA base drive, conduction losses are low.
