BSR30F Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The BSR30F is a PNP bipolar junction transistor manufactured by Nexperia USA Inc., designed for surface mount applications in the SOT-89 package. This component operates at a maximum collector current of 1 A with a collector-emitter breakdown voltage of 60 V and a transition frequency of 100 MHz. The device is qualified to AEC-Q100 automotive standards and carries Active product status with 879 units currently in stock.

Substitute parts are necessary when the primary component becomes unavailable, when alternative sourcing is required for supply chain optimization, or when design flexibility permits the use of functionally equivalent devices from different manufacturers. The substitute parts listed maintain electrical compatibility within the specified parameter ranges while offering different availability, pricing, or qualification profiles.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Full Compatibility Substitutes (60 V Rated):

BCX5210TA and BCX5216TA from Diodes Incorporated are direct electrical equivalents to the BSR30F. Both devices match the 60 V collector-emitter breakdown voltage specification and maintain all critical electrical parameters. BCX5210TA offers the highest inventory availability at 45,100 units. BCX5216TA provides 3,200 units in stock. Both are Active status products with ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating. These parts are suitable for applications where the BSR30F becomes unavailable.

BCX5216H6327XTSA1 from Infineon Technologies also matches the 60 V specification and provides automotive AEC-Q101 qualification. This device carries Last Time Buy status, indicating discontinued production. Selection of this part is appropriate only when existing inventory must be consumed or when the higher power rating (2 W versus 1 W) provides design margin. Current inventory is 1,078 units.

Reduced Voltage Substitutes (45 V Rated):

BCX5110TA, BCX5116TA, and BCX51TA from Diodes Incorporated are electrically compatible with the BSR30F in applications where the collector-emitter voltage does not exceed 45 V. These parts maintain all other critical parameters and offer Active product status. BCX5110TA provides the largest inventory at 25,200 units, followed by BCX5116TA at 15,270 units and BCX51TA at 2,268 units. Selection of these parts is restricted to circuit designs where the maximum applied voltage remains below 45 V.

Compliance and Qualification:

The BSR30F carries AEC-Q100 automotive qualification. BCX5216H6327XTSA1 carries AEC-Q101 automotive qualification and is suitable for automotive applications. The Diodes Incorporated parts (BCX5110TA, BCX5116TA, BCX51TA, BCX5210TA, BCX5216TA) do not carry automotive qualification designations in the provided specifications. Selection of these parts for automotive applications requires verification against design requirements and qualification standards.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can BCX5110TA, BCX5116TA, or BCX51TA be used as direct replacements for BSR30F?

A: These three Diodes Incorporated parts are electrically compatible with the BSR30F only in applications where the maximum collector-emitter voltage does not exceed 45 V. The BSR30F is rated for 60 V operation. If your circuit operates at voltages above 45 V, these substitutes are not suitable. If your circuit operates below 45 V, these parts are compatible and offer higher transition frequency (150 MHz versus 100 MHz) and comparable current gain specifications.

Q: What is the difference between BCX5210TA and BCX5216TA?

A: Both BCX5210TA and BCX5216TA are rated for 60 V operation and are fully compatible with the BSR30F. The primary differences are manufacturer part number designation and inventory availability. BCX5210TA has 45,100 units in stock, while BCX5216TA has 3,200 units. Both devices are Active status products from Diodes Incorporated with identical electrical specifications for the critical parameters.

Q: Why is BCX5216H6327XTSA1 marked as Last Time Buy?

A: Last Time Buy status indicates that the manufacturer (Infineon Technologies) has discontinued production of this part. Existing inventory of 1,078 units represents the final available stock. This part should be selected only when the higher power rating (2 W) provides necessary design margin or when existing inventory must be consumed. For new designs, BCX5210TA or BCX5216TA are recommended as they carry Active status and ensure long-term availability.

Q: Are all substitute parts in the same package?

A: Yes. All substitute parts use the TO-243AA package with SOT-89 or PG-SOT89 supplier device package designations. All devices are surface mount components suitable for the same PCB footprint as the BSR30F. Mechanical compatibility is confirmed across all listed substitutes.

Q: Can I use these substitutes in automotive applications?

A: The BSR30F carries AEC-Q100 automotive qualification. BCX5216H6327XTSA1 carries AEC-Q101 automotive qualification and is suitable for automotive use. The Diodes Incorporated parts (BCX5110TA, BCX5116TA, BCX51TA, BCX5210TA, BCX5216TA) do not carry automotive qualification designations in the provided data. Use of these parts in automotive applications requires verification against your design's qualification requirements and standards.

Q: What is the significance of the higher transition frequency in the substitute parts?

A: Most substitute parts operate at 150 MHz transition frequency compared to the BSR30F's 100 MHz. Higher transition frequency indicates faster switching capability and is not a limitation for applications designed for 100 MHz operation. Applications requiring 100 MHz or lower switching speeds will operate correctly with these substitutes. The higher frequency specification provides additional design margin.

Q: Are all parts RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. All listed substitute parts carry ROHS3 compliance status, matching the BSR30F specification. All parts also carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity level rating, indicating no special moisture handling requirements during storage or assembly.
