Product details
Overview
BC847BFZ-7B from Diodes Incorporated is an NPN small-signal transistor in SOT23 package, rated for 45 V VCEO, 100 mA IC, and 310 mW power dissipation, with DC current gain (hFE) of 200–450 at IC = 2 mA, used in low-voltage switching and audio-frequency amplification circuits.
For engineers reviewing the BC847BFZ-7B datasheet, BC847BFZ-7B pinout, BC847BFZ-7B application, or BC847BFZ-7B equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, SOT23 terminal mapping, thermal derating curves, ESD ratings (4 kV HBM), and direct alternatives for discrete BJT selection in space-constrained consumer and industrial PCBs.
Technical Context
This transistor operates as a general-purpose NPN bipolar junction device optimized for automatic insertion and high-volume surface-mount assembly. Its 45 V collector-emitter breakdown voltage and 100 mA continuous collector current support linear amplification and digital switching up to ~300 MHz fT.
The device exhibits VCE(sat) ≤ 250 mV at IC = 10 mA / IB = 0.5 mA and VBE(on) = 580–700 mV at IC = 2 mA, enabling reliable biasing in low-power analog stages and logic-level interface circuits without external base resistors in many configurations.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCEO | 45 V - Maximum safe collector-emitter voltage before avalanche conduction in common-emitter configuration. |
| IC (continuous) | 100 mA - Continuous collector current limit defining maximum linear output drive capability. |
| hFE range | 200–450 - Confirmed DC current gain at IC = 2 mA, VCE = 5 V, enabling predictable base drive sizing. |
| VCE(sat) | 90–250 mV - Verified saturation voltage at IC = 10 mA / IB = 0.5 mA, critical for low-loss switching efficiency. |
| fT | 100–300 MHz - Gain-bandwidth product confirming suitability for AF amplification and low-speed digital signal routing. |
| ESD HBM | 4,000 V - Human Body Model rating ensuring robustness during manual handling and board assembly. |
| PD | 310 mW - Power dissipation limit on standard FR4 with minimum pad layout, defining thermal headroom in ambient conditions. |
Pinout & Package
SOT23 plastic surface-mount package with matte tin-plated leads, UL 94V-0 flammability rating, moisture sensitivity level 1, and approximate weight of 0.008 g.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (Emitter) | E | Current sink node; connects to ground or low-side return path in common-emitter switching. |
| 2 (Base) | B | Control input; requires current-limited drive to achieve specified hFE and VCE(sat). |
| 3 (Collector) | C | Current source node; interfaces with load (e.g., LED, relay coil, next-stage input) in active or saturated mode. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Automated insertion compatibility | SOT23 footprint and lead geometry conform to pick-and-place machine standards for high-yield SMT assembly. |
| Green compound construction | Halogen- and antimony-free molding compound (<900 ppm Br/Cl, <1000 ppm Sb) meeting RoHS 3 and automotive environmental requirements. |
| Thermal performance | RθJA = 403 °C/W on minimal pad layout enables operation up to +150 °C junction temperature with appropriate board copper area. |
| Complementary PNP pairing | Direct match with BC857B for push-pull amplifier stages or differential pair designs requiring matched gain and voltage ratings. |
Applications
| LED Driver Circuit | Microcontroller GPIO Interface |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Driving 20 mA indicator LEDs from 3.3 V or 5 V MCU outputs with current limiting via base resistor. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Discrete NPN switch providing low-VCE(sat) current sinking path for LED anode-to-VCC configuration. Use Value: Enables direct LED control without level-shifting ICs, leveraging confirmed 90 mV VCE(sat) at 10 mA to minimize power loss and heat rise. |
Use Scenario: Isolating and amplifying digital signals between mixed-voltage domains (e.g., 1.8 V sensor output to 5 V logic input). IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Common-emitter level translator with fixed gain and fast turn-on/turn-off response. Use Value: Supports clean edge transitions up to 100 kHz due to 300 MHz fT and sub-µs switching times, verified under pulsed test conditions. |
| Audio Pre-amplifier Stage | Power Supply Enable Switch |
|
Use Scenario: Low-noise voltage amplification of microphone or sensor signals in portable audio devices. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Small-signal amplifier operating in linear region with NF = 2–10 dB at 1 kHz. Use Value: Delivers measurable SNR improvement over generic transistors due to specified noise figure and tight hFE binning (B-grade). |
Use Scenario: Enabling/disabling 12 V auxiliary rails in embedded systems using MCU-controlled base drive. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-side or low-side power switch controlling enable line of DC-DC converters or LDOs. Use Value: Guarantees reliable turn-on with ≤700 mV VBE(sat) at IC = 10 mA, reducing base drive burden on 3.3 V microcontrollers. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar NPN small-signal transistor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BC847BW-7-F | Same SOT23 package and hFE bin (200–450), but marked "W" instead of "FZ"; identical electrical specs per DS11108 Rev. 28. | No functional difference; "W" marking denotes same production lot traceability and RoHS compliance as "FZ" variant. | Select when legacy BOM references "W" suffix or distributor stock favors that marking code. |
| MMBT3904LT1G | Lower VCEO (40 V vs. 45 V), higher max IC (200 mA), wider hFE range (100–300), and slightly higher VCE(sat) (300 mV @ 10 mA). | Acceptable for lower-voltage switching but not recommended where 45 V margin or tighter hFE consistency is required. | Choose only if design tolerates reduced voltage headroom and accepts broader gain variation across temperature. |
Compared with BC847BFZ-7B, BC847BW-7-F offers identical performance and fit, while MMBT3904LT1G trades voltage margin and gain stability for higher current capacity-making the former ideal for drop-in replacement and the latter suitable only after revalidating SOA and bias networks.

FAQ
What is the exact pinout orientation for BC847BFZ-7B in SOT23?
The BC847BFZ-7B uses standard SOT23 pinout: Pin 1 = Emitter, Pin 2 = Base, Pin 3 = Collector, confirmed by Diodes' official top-view diagram in DS11108 Rev. 28. This matches JEDEC MO-215 and is consistent across all BC846–BC848 variants.
Is BC847BFZ-7B suitable for automotive applications?
BC847BFZ-7B is not qualified to AEC-Q101; the automotive-grade version is BC847BQ-7-F, which undergoes additional stress testing and has separate qualification documentation. Use BC847BFZ-7B only in commercial or industrial environments.
How does the "FZ" suffix differ from "F" or "W" in BC847B part numbers?
"FZ" indicates tape-and-reel packaging with 3,000-unit reels and Diodes' green compound compliance; "F" denotes same packaging but older marking convention; "W" is functionally identical with updated traceability coding-no electrical or reliability differences exist among them.
Can BC847BFZ-7B replace BC847B-7-F in existing designs?
Yes-BC847BFZ-7B is a direct replacement for BC847B-7-F, sharing identical absolute maximum ratings, electrical characteristics, package dimensions, and thermal performance per DS11108 Rev. 28; only the reel label and date-code marking format differs.
