BCW60C

Nexperia · Bipolar (BJT) · SOT-23

BCW60C 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; the datasheet limits peak base current IBM to 200 mA.
2 E passive Emitter terminal of the NPN transistor; the emitter-base voltage VEBO is limited to 5 V with open collector.
3 C passive Collector terminal of the NPN transistor; collector current IC is limited to 100 mA and collector-emitter voltage VCEO to 32 V with open base.
