BCV62,215

Overview

The BCV62,215 is a PNP general-purpose dual transistor manufactured by Nexperia USA Inc. It is housed in an SOT-143B surface-mount package and qualified to AEC-Q101 standards for automotive reliability. The device features a maximum collector-emitter voltage (VCEO) of 30 V and a continuous collector current (IC) of 100 mA. Key electrical parameters include a DC current gain (hFE) range of 100 to 800 at specified test conditions, a transition frequency (fT) of 100 MHz, and a power dissipation (Pd) of 250 mW. The operating temperature range spans from -65 °C to +150 °C.

Feature Summary

• Matched pair configuration ensuring consistent performance between the two internal transistors
• AEC-Q101 qualification supporting automotive application requirements
• Compact SOT-143B plastic package design for space-constrained PCB layouts

Applications

• Current mirror circuits requiring matched transistor characteristics
• Applications demanding temperature-independent working points
• General-purpose switching and amplification tasks

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix against the official Nexperia ordering code list to confirm the exact hFE binning and packaging type. Ensure the component meets AEC-Q101 requirements if used in automotive designs. Confirm RoHS compliance status with the supplier prior to final procurement decisions.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a matched PNP dual transistor is required for precision analog functions like current mirrors. The low voltage rating suits low-power signal processing. Consider the BCV62A or BCV62B variants if specific hFE ranges are needed rather than the standard BCV62 spread.

Part Context

This part belongs to the BCV62 family of PNP double transistors designed for low-current applications. It serves as a general-purpose alternative to specialized matched pairs, offering a balance of performance and cost in a small SMD footprint suitable for consumer and industrial electronics.

Replacement Considerations

BCV62A,215 offers a defined hFE range of 100-800. BCV62B,215 provides a tighter range of 220-475. BCV62C,215 specifies 420-800. Verify pinout compatibility before substitution.
