BCW68HR 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 | input | Base terminal; base current IB is limited to -100 mA DC and -200 mA peak (single pulse, tp ≤ 1 ms). |
| 2 | E | passive | Emitter terminal; emitter-base voltage VEBO is limited to -5 V with the collector open. |
| 3 | C | passive | Collector terminal; collector-emitter voltage VCEO is limited to -45 V (open base) and collector current IC to -800 mA DC (-1 A peak). |

CAD (land: KiCad; 3D: generated from the datasheet)
- Symbol:
BCW68HR - 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)
