Product details
Overview
BC817DPN/DG/B2,115 from Nexperia is a dual NPN/PNP general-purpose transistor in SOT457 (SC-74/TSOP6) package, featuring 45 V VCEO, 500 mA IC, and AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive use. It integrates complementary transistors TR1 (NPN) and TR2 (PNP) on one die for push-pull switching or differential amplification in compact PCB space.
For engineers reviewing the BC817DPN/DG/B2,115 datasheet, BC817DPN/DG/B2,115 pinout, BC817DPN/DG/B2,115 application, or BC817DPN/DG/B2,115 equivalent, key selection factors include dual-transistor polarity matching, thermal resistance (208 K/W), DC current gain range (160–400 at IC = 100 mA), and automotive-grade reliability validation.
Technical Context
This device implements two monolithically integrated bipolar junction transistors - TR1 as an NPN and TR2 as a PNP - sharing no internal connection between them. Each transistor operates independently with separate emitter, base, and collector terminals, enabling discrete-level control of bidirectional current paths.
It supports pulsed operation up to 1 A peak collector current (tp ≤ 1 ms) and maintains hFE stability across −55 °C to +150 °C ambient, with VCEsat ≤ 700 mV at IC = 500 mA / IB = 50 mA for both polarities.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCEO | 45 V maximum collector-emitter voltage per transistor; defines safe linear/saturation operating range under open-base condition. |
| IC | 500 mA continuous collector current per transistor; sets steady-state load-driving capability without derating. |
| hFE | 160–400 at VCE = 1 V, IC = 100 mA; enables predictable base drive sizing for switching or analog gain stages. |
| VCEsat | ≤ 700 mV at IC = 500 mA, IB = 50 mA; ensures low conduction loss in saturated switch applications. |
| Ptot | 600 mW total device power dissipation on FR4 PCB (1 cm² collector pad); determines thermal layout requirements. |
| Rth(j-a) | 208 K/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance; informs heatsinking needs for sustained operation near limits. |
| fT | 100 MHz (NPN), 80 MHz (PNP); supports high-speed switching up to ~10–20 MHz practical frequency range. |
Pinout & Package
SOT457 (SC-74/TSOP6) plastic surface-mount package with 6 leads, 1.9 mm width, 3.1 mm length, and 1.3 mm height; designed for reflow and wave soldering per IPC-7351B standards.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Emitter of TR1 (NPN) | Low-side current return path for NPN transistor; connects to ground or load return in common-emitter configuration. |
| 2 | Base of TR1 (NPN) | Control input for NPN transistor; requires current-limited drive to achieve target IC based on hFE. |
| 3 | Collector of TR2 (PNP) | High-side current source terminal for PNP transistor; connects to positive rail in sourcing applications. |
| 4 | Emitter of TR2 (PNP) | Current source reference node for PNP transistor; typically tied to VCC in high-side switch layouts. |
| 5 | Base of TR2 (PNP) | Inverted control input for PNP transistor; driven low relative to emitter to enable conduction. |
| 6 | Collector of TR1 (NPN) | Low-side current sink terminal for NPN transistor; connects to load or pull-down network in switching circuits. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual complementary topology | Single-package integration of matched NPN and PNP transistors reduces board area and interconnect inverter/push-pull stages. |
| AEC-Q101 qualification | Validated for automotive underhood and cabin applications including engine control modules and body electronics. |
| Thermal performance | 600 mW total power rating on standard FR4 PCB enables operation without external heatsink up to ~150 mW per transistor. |
| Wide temperature range | Functional operation from −65 °C to +150 °C junction temperature supports industrial and automotive thermal environments. |
| Low saturation voltage | VCEsat ≤ 700 mV at full rated current minimizes power loss and self-heating during switching duty cycles. |
Applications
| Automotive Body Control Module | Industrial Push-Pull Driver |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Driving LED clusters and small solenoids in door modules and lighting control units. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual-transistor pair acts as complementary switch stage, replacing discrete NPN+PNP pairs to reduce component count. Use Value: AEC-Q101 qualification ensures reliability over 15-year vehicle lifetime; 45 V VCEO accommodates 24 V system transients. |
Use Scenario: Bidirectional current control in 12 V DC motor H-bridge pre-driver stages. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: TR1 and TR2 serve as high- and low-side switches in half-bridge configurations for direction control. Use Value: Matched hFE and VCEsat characteristics minimize shoot-through risk; 1 A peak current supports short-duration stall conditions. |
| Consumer Appliance Power Sequencing | Medical Diagnostic Sensor Biasing |
|
Use Scenario: Controlled power-up sequencing of analog front-end ICs and microcontrollers in smart home devices. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Acts as precision enable/disable switch for regulated rails using base current control. Use Value: Tight hFE spread (160–400) allows consistent turn-on timing across production lots; low VBE drift (−2 mV/K) improves thermal stability. |
Use Scenario: Providing stable bias current to photodiode transimpedance amplifiers in portable diagnostic tools. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Functions as low-noise current source in active load configuration for signal conditioning. Use Value: Low collector-base leakage (100 nA at 25 °C) preserves measurement accuracy; 150 °C max Tj supports sterilization cycle tolerance. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual complementary transistor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BC847BDW1T1G | Higher hFE (200–450), same SOT363 package but lower VCEO (45 V vs. 45 V), not AEC-Q101 qualified. | Lacks automotive qualification; suitable for commercial-grade consumer or industrial equipment only. | Select when AEC-Q101 is not required and tighter hFE tolerance is prioritized over qualification. |
| MBT3904DW1T2G | Lower VCEO (40 V), higher fT (300 MHz), same SOT363 footprint, not AEC-Q101 qualified. | Optimized for RF switching; insufficient voltage margin for 24 V automotive systems with load dump. | Prefer for high-frequency signal switching where voltage headroom is less critical than speed. |
Compared with BC817DPN/DG/B2,115, BC847BDW1T1G offers improved current gain consistency but lacks automotive qualification, while MBT3904DW1T2G trades voltage robustness for RF performance-making BC817DPN/DG/B2,115 the only qualified option for safety-critical 12/24 V automotive switching.

FAQ
What is the pin configuration for BC817DPN/DG/B2,115?
Pin 1 is E1 (NPN emitter), Pin 2 is B1 (NPN base), Pin 3 is C2 (PNP collector), Pin 4 is E2 (PNP emitter), Pin 5 is B2 (PNP base), and Pin 6 is C1 (NPN collector). This arrangement supports independent control of both transistors in push-pull or complementary amplifier topologies.
Is BC817DPN/DG/B2,115 suitable for automotive applications?
Yes - it is fully AEC-Q101 qualified per Nexperia's 2019 product data sheet, tested for stress conditions including temperature cycling, humidity, and mechanical shock. Its 150 °C maximum junction temperature and −65 °C minimum storage temperature meet automotive underhood requirements.
How does thermal performance compare between single and dual transistor packages?
At 600 mW total Ptot on FR4, BC817DPN/DG/B2,115 delivers 300 mW per transistor average - comparable to discrete SOT23 devices - but with 208 K/W Rth(j-a) due to shared thermal mass and optimized pad layout, requiring no additional copper area beyond standard 1 cm² collector pad.
Can BC817DPN/DG/B2,115 replace two separate BC847/BC857 transistors?
Yes, functionally and electrically - it matches BC847 (NPN) and BC857 (PNP) specifications for VCEO, IC, hFE, and VCEsat. However, pinout differs: BC817DPN uses SOT457 (6-pin), while BC847/BC857 use SOT23 (3-pin each), so PCB layout must be redesigned to accommodate the integrated package.
