BCV62C,215

Overview

The BCV62C,215 is a PNP general-purpose double transistor manufactured by Nexperia. It is housed in a small SOT-143B surface-mounted device plastic package with dimensions of 2.9 x 1.3 x 1 mm. The component features a maximum collector-emitter voltage (VCEO) of -30 V and a maximum DC collector current (IC) of -100 mA. It belongs to the BCV62 series, specifically designated as the 'C' selection group, which provides a minimum DC current gain (hFE) of 420 and a maximum of 800 at room temperature. The device is AEC-Q101 qualified for automotive applications.

Feature Summary

• Matched pair configuration ensuring consistent current gain characteristics between transistors
• AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive reliability standards
• Temperature-independent working point design

Applications

• Current mirrors
• Differential amplifiers
• Applications requiring temperature-independent operating points

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix ',215' corresponds to the standard tape-and-reel packaging format when sourcing. Confirm that the 'C' grading aligns with required hFE ranges for precision analog circuits. Ensure compatibility with SOT-143B footprint constraints during PCB layout verification.

Selection Notes

Select this variant over BCV62 or BCV62A when higher current gain matching is critical for circuit performance. The BCV62C offers a minimum hFE of 420, suitable for high-gain amplifier stages. Consider the SOT-143B package size if space is limited compared to larger dual-transistor packages.

Part Context

This component is part of the BCV62 family of PNP matched double transistors. It serves as a low-voltage, low-current solution for signal processing tasks. The BCV62C variant specifically targets applications demanding tighter gain tolerances than the standard BCV62 or lower-gain BCV62A options.

Replacement Considerations

BCV62,215 and BCV62A,215 are related variants within the same package but differ in hFE selection groups. Direct substitution requires verifying that the alternative's gain range meets the circuit's biasing requirements.
