PNP pre-biased transistor with integrated resistors
The Infineon BCR198E6327HTSA1 is a PNP pre-biased transistor in a SOT-23-3 surface-mount package. It integrates both a 47 kΩ base resistor (R1) and a 47 kΩ emitter-base resistor (R2), reducing external component count for switching and driver stages. Rated for 50 V collector-emitter breakdown and 100 mA continuous collector current, with a transition frequency of 190 MHz. Maximum power dissipation is 200 mW.
Last Buy — plan the BOM transition
The BCR198E6327HTSA1 carries a Last Buy lifecycle status. This means Infineon has scheduled the end of production for this specific order code. Buyers should treat this as a heads-up to qualify a replacement or secure final lifetime buys through independent distribution while stock remains available.
SOT-23-3 — rework-friendly footprint
The SOT-23-3 (PG-SOT23) package is a standard small-signal footprint. It reworks cleanly with hot air or a fine-tipped iron — the three leads are well-spaced and the body is small enough that thermal mass is low. MSL 1 typically, so no pre-bake needed unless the reel has been open in a humid environment past the floor-life window.
