BCW30

Nexperia · Bipolar Transistors - BJT · SOT-23

BCW30 from Nexperia, in a SOT-23. 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 B input Base terminal of the PNP transistor; the datasheet gives no base-only voltage rating, and the peak base current limit is IBM = −200 mA.
2 E passive Emitter terminal of the PNP transistor; the emitter-base voltage is limited to VEBO = −5 V (open collector).
3 C passive Collector terminal of the PNP transistor; the collector-emitter voltage is limited to VCEO = −32 V and the DC collector current to −100 mA.
