BCW31

Nexperia · Bipolar (BJT) · SOT-23

BCW31 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 passive Base terminal of the NPN transistor; Table 5 limits the peak base current to 200 mA (IBM) and the emitter-base voltage to 5 V (VEBO).
2 E passive Emitter terminal of the NPN transistor; Table 5 limits the emitter-base voltage to 5 V (VEBO) with the collector open.
3 C passive Collector terminal of the NPN transistor; Table 5 limits the collector-emitter voltage to 32 V (VCEO) and the collector current to 100 mA (IC).
