Pre-biased PNP — what the integrated resistors buy you
The Infineon BCR185E6327HTSA1 is a PNP pre-biased transistor in a SOT-23-3 package (PG-SOT23). It integrates two bias resistors — a 10 kOhms base resistor (R1) and a 47 kOhms emitter-base resistor (R2) — so you can drive the base directly from a 3.3V or 5V logic output without external resistors. That saves two components per channel on the BOM and shrinks the placement cost.
NRND — plan the last-time-buy now
If you have an existing BOM line using the BCR185E6327HTSA1, you need to secure enough inventory for your remaining production runs or qualify a replacement before the last-time-buy window closes. For new designs, look at the active BCR185 series siblings or a pin-compatible pre-biased PNP.
Rated for 50 V collector-emitter breakdown and 100 mA continuous collector current. Maximum power dissipation is 200 mW.
Saturation voltage matters for the on-state drop
Vce(sat) is specified at 300 mV maximum with 500 µA base current and 10 mA collector current.
