BRCL3160MF

Foshan Blue Rocket Elec · Battery Management · SOT-23-6

BRCL3160MF from Foshan Blue Rocket Elec, in a SOT-23-6. Pinout and pin descriptions extracted from the manufacturer datasheet by ds2sf; symbol, footprint, and 3D from KiCad-official CAD.

Pinout

Pin Name Type Function
1 NC unconnected No electrical connection. Leave floating on the PCB.
2 VM input Negative-terminal-of-charger sense pin. The internal power MOSFET (charge/discharge FET) connects this terminal to GND when the protection is not tripped. Used for charger detection, overcurrent and load-short sensing (V_VM abs max −6.0 V to +10 V).
3 NC unconnected No electrical connection. Leave floating on the PCB.
4 VT unconnected Listed as 'VT' in the pin table with 'No electrical connection'. The package pin-out diagram on the same page labels this pin as NC. Recommended: leave floating.
5 VDD power_in Power supply pin. Connect to the positive terminal of the Li-ion/Li-polymer cell, typically through a 100 Ω series resistor with a 0.1 µF bypass capacitor to GND. V_IN abs max −0.3 V to +6.0 V; normal operation 2.0-4.4 V range referenced by detection thresholds.
6 GND power_in Ground reference. Connect the negative terminal of the battery to this pin.

Two STEP files. Same geometry, different body top:

File Size Use it when
brcl3160mf.step 97 KB You want the bare part, or you mark your own boards.
brcl3160mf-etched.step 2.1 MB You want the part with BRCL3160MF already on it.

The marking in the etched file is real recessed geometry cut into the solid, not a texture or a decal: 501 faces against 117 in the bare model. It survives export, section views, and rendering in any CAD tool, and it drops straight into KiCad or Fusion with no extra setup.

Provenance

Data extracted from the manufacturer datasheet, not a distributor listing:

  • Datasheet: Foshan Blue Rocket Elec datasheet (12 pp, sha256 8adfa4c86b03ea70, retrieved 2026-08-17, tier: lcsc)
  • Extractor: ds2sf (Claude). Every pin and dimension is cited to a datasheet page; it refuses to fabricate.
  • CAD: KiCad official libraries (CC-BY-SA 4.0).
