BCW66GR

Nexperia · Bipolar Transistors - BJT · SOT-23

BCW66GR 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; the datasheet sets the base current limit at 100 mA (IB) and the peak base current at 200 mA (IBM, single pulse, tp ≤ 1 ms).
2 E passive Emitter terminal; the emitter-base voltage is limited to 5 V (VEBO) with the collector open.
3 C passive Collector terminal; the datasheet limits the collector-emitter voltage to 45 V (VCEO, open base) and the collector current to 800 mA (IC).

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

  • Symbol: BCW66GR
  • 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: bcw66gr-etched.step / bcw66gr-etched.glb carry the MPN laser-etched on the die in a toggleable Adom.LaserEtch group (Fusion-ready); bcw66gr.step / bcw66gr.glb are the bare package body.
