BCV61C,215

Overview

The BCV61C,215 is an NPN general-purpose double transistor manufactured by Nexperia. It features a maximum collector current of 100 mA and a maximum collector-emitter voltage of 30 V. The device is housed in a SOT-143 surface-mount package with four terminals. It includes matched pairs for improved performance consistency and is qualified to the AEC-Q101 automotive standard.

Feature Summary

• Matched pairs ensure consistent current gain characteristics between transistors
• Qualified to AEC-Q101 automotive reliability standards
• Low voltage operation suitable for signal processing applications

Applications

• Current mirrors requiring temperature-independent working points
• Differential amplifier circuits
• General-purpose switching and amplification tasks

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix '215' against official Nexperia documentation to confirm tape-and-reel packaging specifications. Confirm AEC-Q101 qualification status for automotive designs. Ensure the SOT-143 pinout matches the target PCB footprint before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when matched transistor pairs are required for precision analog circuits. The low voltage rating limits suitability for high-power applications. Consider the SOT-143 package constraints for thermal management and board space availability during the design phase.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Nexperia BCV61 series of NPN general-purpose double transistors. It serves as a matched pair solution within the broader discrete semiconductor portfolio, designed for applications demanding stable electrical characteristics across varying temperatures.

Replacement Considerations

Consult official Nexperia substitution guides for verified equivalents. Generic BJT replacements may lack the matched pair characteristics or AEC-Q101 qualification required for this specific application.
