BGR420H6327 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The BGR420H6327 is an NPN biased low noise RF transistor manufactured by Infineon Technologies, designed for RF applications requiring low noise performance and moderate power handling. This surface mount device operates at collector-emitter breakdown voltage of 13V with maximum collector current of 25mA and power dissipation of 120mW. The part is actively produced and maintains 715 units in current inventory stock.

Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical performance can be achieved within the specified operating parameters, packaging constraints, and compliance requirements. Alternative components may be necessary due to supply availability, lead time considerations, or specific application requirements that fall within the allowable parameter ranges.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the BGR420H6327 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Primary Substitution Criteria:

• Transistor Type: NPN configuration required
• Voltage Rating: Collector-Emitter breakdown voltage must equal or exceed 13V
• Current Capability: Maximum collector current must equal or exceed 25mA
• Power Dissipation: Maximum power rating must equal or exceed 120mW
• Mounting Type: Surface mount configuration required
• Moisture Sensitivity: MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited) preferred for compatibility
• Product Status: Active production status ensures availability and support

Secondary Compatibility Factors:

• Operating temperature range must encompass the application requirements
• Noise figure and gain characteristics should align with RF application demands
• Package form factor must be compatible with PCB layout constraints

The identified substitute parts (MMBTH10-TP and MAX2601ESA+) meet the primary electrical substitution criteria while maintaining surface mount compatibility and active product status.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

BGR420H6327 (Primary Component)

The BGR420H6327 remains the preferred selection for applications requiring the specified noise figure performance (1.5–1.7 dB @ 400MHz–1.8GHz) and gain characteristics (26 dB). This Infineon Technologies component is actively produced with adequate inventory availability (715 units in stock). The part maintains MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating and operates across the full temperature range of −65°C to 150°C.

MMBTH10-TP (Micro Commercial Co)

The MMBTH10-TP qualifies as a substitute when higher voltage rating (25V) and increased current capability (50mA) are acceptable for the application. This SOT-23 package device provides 225mW power dissipation, exceeding the BGR420H6327 requirement. The MMBTH10-TP is ROHS3 compliant and maintains MSL 1 rating with 4027 units in current inventory. Operating temperature range extends to −55°C minimum, which is acceptable for applications not requiring the full −65°C lower limit. Noise figure and gain specifications are not provided for this device; therefore, RF performance characteristics must be verified against application requirements.

MAX2601ESA+ (Analog Devices Inc./Maxim Integrated)

The MAX2601ESA+ functions as a substitute for applications requiring significantly higher current handling (1.2A) and power dissipation (6.4W). This 8-SOIC package device operates at 1GHz transition frequency with 3.3 dB noise figure @ 836MHz. The MAX2601ESA+ is ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, with 2300 units in current inventory. Operating temperature specification indicates 150°C maximum (TJ), which does not specify a minimum temperature; therefore, low-temperature performance must be confirmed for applications requiring operation below 0°C. The larger package footprint (8-SOIC-EP) requires PCB layout modification compared to the BGR420H6327 SOT-343 form factor.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can MMBTH10-TP directly replace BGR420H6327 in all applications?

A: MMBTH10-TP meets the primary electrical substitution criteria (NPN type, 25V breakdown voltage exceeding 13V requirement, 50mA collector current exceeding 25mA requirement, 225mW power exceeding 120mW requirement). However, noise figure and gain specifications are not provided for MMBTH10-TP. Applications requiring specific RF noise performance or gain characteristics must evaluate the MMBTH10-TP against documented application requirements before implementation.

Q: What are the package compatibility considerations?

A: BGR420H6327 uses SC-82A/SOT-343 package (3-pin configuration). MMBTH10-TP uses SOT-23-3 package (3-pin configuration), which is physically compatible with SOT-343 footprints in most PCB designs. MAX2601ESA+ uses 8-SOIC-EP package (8-pin configuration with exposed pad), which requires different PCB layout and cannot use existing SOT-343 footprints. Package selection depends on available PCB real estate and design constraints.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: BGR420H6327 lists RoHS status as "Not applicable." MMBTH10-TP and MAX2601ESA+ are both ROHS3 compliant. Applications subject to RoHS requirements should specify MMBTH10-TP or MAX2601ESA+ to ensure regulatory compliance.

Q: What is the operating temperature consideration for MAX2601ESA+?

A: MAX2601ESA+ specifies 150°C maximum operating temperature (TJ) without a documented minimum temperature specification. BGR420H6327 operates from −65°C to 150°C. Applications requiring operation below 0°C must confirm MAX2601ESA+ performance through manufacturer documentation before selection.

Q: How do noise figure specifications compare?

A: BGR420H6327 specifies 1.5–1.7 dB noise figure across 400MHz to 1.8GHz frequency range. MAX2601ESA+ specifies 3.3 dB noise figure @ 836MHz. MMBTH10-TP does not provide noise figure specification. Low-noise RF applications should prioritize BGR420H6327 or confirm MAX2601ESA+ performance against application noise requirements.

Q: What inventory considerations apply to these parts?

A: BGR420H6327 maintains 715 units in stock. MMBTH10-TP has 4027 units available. MAX2601ESA+ has 2300 units in inventory. All three parts are actively produced with current availability. Lead time and supply chain requirements should be evaluated based on production volume and delivery schedule needs.
