Pre-biased NPN for space-constrained switching
The Infineon BCR148E6433HTMA1 is an NPN pre-biased transistor — a digital transistor that integrates two 47 kOhm resistors (R1 and R2) in a single SOT-23 package. This eliminates two external passives from the board, saving placement cost and PCB area in simple switching applications like relay drivers, LED indicators, or logic-level interface circuits.
50 V breakdown, 100 mA collector — typical low-side switch
The 300 mV saturation voltage at 10 mA collector current and 500 µA base drive means it switches cleanly into saturation with minimal dissipation in the on-state.
Sourcing an obsolete part — what to expect
Infineon lists the BCR148E6433HTMA1 as Obsolete.
