The BCR555E6433HTMA1 carries a Last Buy lifecycle status, meaning Infineon has scheduled this part for end-of-life and the final purchasing window is closing. If this transistor is on your BOM, now is the time to secure your lifetime buy or qualify a replacement — once the Last Buy period expires, the only channel will be surplus and broker stock.
PNP pre-biased — what it saves on the board
This is a PNP pre-biased transistor with integrated bias resistors: 2.2 kOhms in the base (R1) and 10 kOhms between emitter and base (R2). The pre-biased configuration eliminates the need for two external resistors in common switching applications — a direct BOM simplification that shrinks placement cost and board area.
500 mA, 50 V — the switching envelope
Rated for 500 mA continuous collector current and 50 V collector-emitter breakdown. The 150 MHz transition frequency keeps switching losses low for PWM and relay-drive applications.
SOT-23-3 footprint — drop-in check
Supplied in the standard SOT-23-3 package (PG-SOT23), the BCR555E6433HTMA1 is footprint-compatible with the vast majority of SOT-23 small-signal transistors. If your board already has a PNP pre-biased transistor in a three-pin SOT-23 layout, this part is a direct mechanical fit — no PCB revision needed.
