BCV48

Nexperia · Darlington Transistors · SOT-89

BCV48 from Nexperia, in a SOT-89. Pinout and pin descriptions extracted from the manufacturer datasheet (extract_pins, cross-checked by a second model); symbol, footprint, and 3D from KiCad-official CAD.

Pinout

Pin Name Type Function
1 E passive Emitter of the PNP Darlington transistor; VEBO limit is -10 V (open collector).
2 C passive Collector of the PNP Darlington transistor; max collector current -500 mA, VCES -60 V, VCBO -80 V.
3 B passive Base of the PNP Darlington transistor; peak base current limited to -100 mA (single pulse, tp ≤ 1 ms).
