Product details
Overview
BC847BLP4-7B from Diodes Incorporated is a 45V NPN small-signal transistor in X2-DFN1006-3 package, rated for 100mA collector current, 400mW power dissipation (on standard PCB), and 100MHz gain-bandwidth product. It delivers high DC current gain (hFE = 200–450 at IC = 2mA), low VCE(sat) (≤250mV @ IC/IB = 100mA/5mA), and operates across –55°C to +150°C - used in compact load switching and signal amplification in automotive body control modules.
For engineers reviewing the BC847BLP4-7B datasheet, BC847BLP4-7B pinout, BC847BLP4-7B application, or BC847BLP4-7B equivalent, key selection criteria include its 0.4mm height, JEDEC-qualified reliability, 4kV HBM ESD rating, and complementary PNP pairing with BC857BLP4 for push-pull stages.
Technical Context
This NPN bipolar junction transistor features a planar epitaxial die structure optimized for stable hFE over temperature and low saturation voltage under pulsed and continuous operation. Its X2-DFN1006-3 package integrates an exposed collector pad for enhanced thermal conduction (RθJL = 120°C/W).
The device meets AEC-Q200 stress test requirements for automotive-grade reliability and supports high-density routing via its 0.60mm² footprint - 13× smaller than SOT-23. Electrical behavior is characterized at VCE = 5V, with fT measured at 100MHz under 10mA IC.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCEO | 45 V - Maximum safe collector-emitter voltage before breakdown; enables use in 36V automotive supply rails with margin. |
| IC | 100 mA - Continuous collector current rating; supports medium-current switching in sensor interfaces and LED drivers. |
| hFE | 200–450 - DC current gain range at VCE = 5V, IC = 2mA; ensures predictable base drive sizing across production lots. |
| VCE(sat) | ≤250 mV @ IC/IB = 100mA/5mA - Low saturation voltage minimizes power loss and self-heating in active-switching applications. |
| fT | 100 MHz - Gain-bandwidth product at VCE = 5V, IC = 10mA; suitable for audio-frequency amplification and fast digital switching up to ~10MHz. |
| RθJA | 310 °C/W - Junction-to-ambient thermal resistance on minimal 2oz copper pad; defines maximum allowable power under still-air conditions. |
| ESD HBM | 4,000 V - Human Body Model rating per JESD22-A114; reduces risk of field failure during handling and board assembly. |

Package: X2-DFN1006-3 - ultra-compact 0.60 mm² footprint, 0.4 mm max height, molded green plastic (UL 94V-0), NiPdAu-plated terminals, moisture sensitivity level 1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (Emitter) | Emitting terminal for majority carriers | Connected to ground or low-side return path; requires solderable pad per MIL-STD-202. |

| 3 (Collector) | Current output terminal with exposed pad | Primary heat path via exposed metal pad; must be connected to thermal plane for RθJL = 120°C/W performance. |
Key Features

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,115 (Nexperia) | SOT-323 package (1.4 × 1.25 mm), higher RθJA = 380°C/W, hFE = 200–450 same range | Larger footprint; less suitable for ultra-dense layouts but easier rework with standard pick-and-place nozzles | Select when manual inspection or rework is prioritized over board area savings. |
| MMBT4401LT1G (ON Semiconductor) | SOT-23 package, VCEO = 40 V, fT = 250 MHz, RθJA = 300°C/W on same PCB | Higher speed but lower voltage rating; not recommended for 36V automotive systems | Choose only if >40 MHz bandwidth is required and supply voltage remains ≤32V. |
Compared with BC847BW and MMBT4401LT1G, BC847BLP4-7B uniquely balances ultra-small size, 45V rating, and automotive-grade reliability - making it optimal for next-generation ECUs where board space, thermal headroom, and qualification compliance are jointly constrained.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous collector current for BC847BLP4-7B?
The absolute maximum continuous collector current is 100 mA at TA = +25°C. Derating is required above 25°C ambient: current must be reduced linearly to zero at +150°C junction temperature, based on RθJA = 310°C/W and PD = 400 mW on standard PCB layout.
Does BC847BLP4-7B have automotive qualification?
The BC847BLP4-7B itself is not AEC-Q200 qualified; however, its automotive-grade counterpart BC847BLP4Q is fully qualified per AEC-Q200 Rev D. Both share identical electrical specs and package, differing only in test documentation and traceability - BC847BLP4-7B is intended for industrial and commercial applications.
How is thermal performance affected by PCB layout?
Thermal resistance improves significantly with copper area: RθJA drops from 310°C/W (minimum pad) to 120°C/W when the exposed collector pad is connected to a 25 mm × 25 mm 2 oz copper plane. Layout must follow Diodes' recommended pad dimensions (X1 = 0.60 mm, X2 = 1.20 mm, G1 = 0.15 mm) for optimal solder joint reliability and thermal transfer.
Can BC847BLP4-7B replace BC847B in existing SOT-23 designs?
No - BC847BLP4-7B uses X2-DFN1006-3 (3-pin, bottom-terminal) packaging, while BC847B uses SOT-23 (3-pin, gull-wing). The pinouts differ (Emitter/Base/Collector vs. Emitter/Collector/Base), and the DFN package requires different stencil design, reflow profile, and optical inspection setup. A redesign is mandatory for migration.
