BCV72

Nexperia · Bipolar Transistors - BJT · SOT-23

BCV72 from Nexperia, in a SOT-23. Pinout and pin descriptions extracted from the manufacturer datasheet (extract_pins, cross-checked by a second model). Symbol and footprint from KiCad-official CAD; the 3D model is generated from the datasheet's package dimensions.

Pinout

Pin Name Type Function
1 B passive Base terminal of the NPN transistor; peak base current is limited to 200 mA for single pulses with tp ≤ 1 ms.
2 E passive Emitter terminal of the NPN transistor; emitter-base voltage VEBO is limited to 5 V with the collector open.
3 C passive Collector terminal of the NPN transistor; limits are VCBO 80 V, VCEO 60 V and collector current IC 100 mA (peak ICM 200 mA).

CAD (land: KiCad; 3D: generated from the datasheet)

  • Symbol: BCV72
  • Footprint: Package_TO_SOT_SMD:SOT-23
  • 3D model: SOT-23, generated on the KiCad land (body 1.3 x 2.9 mm, terminals on the pads, 1.0 mm tall, datasheet A, midpoint of min and max). KiCad's stock model for this land is taller than the datasheet allows, so the model is generated from the datasheet drawing; the dimensions come from the datasheet drawing where it was read and are defaults otherwise (see provenance.model_3d_generated), not the manufacturer's CAD (STEP)
  • 3D model files: bcv72-etched.step / bcv72-etched.glb carry the MPN laser-etched on the die in a toggleable Adom.LaserEtch group (Fusion-ready); bcv72.step / bcv72.glb are the bare package body.

Provenance

Data extracted from the manufacturer datasheet, not a distributor listing:

  • Datasheet: Nexperia datasheet (7 pp, sha256 911bb8aa38a2bcc4, retrieved 2026-11-12, tier: manufacturer)
  • Extractor: parts-factory 2.0.0 / extract_pins 0.3, primary claude-haiku-5-5 (text), consensus claude-sonnet-5-5 (agreed), guards: pin_guards 0.1: passed. Pins are checked against the footprint pad set and their cited datasheet pages before publish.
  • CAD: land: KiCad official libraries (CC-BY-SA 4.0); 3D: generated from the datasheet's package dimensions (provenance.model_3d_generated).
