BCW68GVL

Nexperia · Bipolar Transistors - BJT · SOT-23

BCW68GVL 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; the datasheet limits base current IB to -100 mA and peak base current IBM to -200 mA.
2 E passive Emitter terminal; the datasheet limits emitter-base voltage VEBO to -5 V.
3 C passive Collector terminal; the datasheet limits collector current IC to -800 mA and collector-emitter voltage VCEO to -45 V.

CAD (KiCad official)

  • Symbol: BCW68GVL
  • Footprint: Package_TO_SOT_SMD:SOT-23
  • 3D model: SOT-23 (KiCad packages3D, STEP)
  • 3D model files: bcw68gvl-etched.step / bcw68gvl-etched.glb carry the MPN laser-etched on the die in a toggleable Adom.LaserEtch group (Fusion-ready); bcw68gvl.step / bcw68gvl.glb are the bare package body.
