Product details
Overview
BC847BPN/DG/B2,115 from Nexperia is a dual NPN/PNP general-purpose transistor pair in a SOT363-3 (TSSOP6) package, rated for 45 V VCEO, 100 mA IC, and featuring matched hFE (200–450) at 2 mA/5 V. It enables compact complementary switching in low-power analog and digital signal paths, such as level translation and push-pull output stages.
For engineers reviewing the BC847BPN/DG/B2,115 datasheet, BC847BPN/DG/B2,115 pinout, BC847BPN/DG/B2,115 application, or BC847BPN/DG/B2,115 equivalent, this device is selected for space-constrained designs requiring tightly matched gain, low VCE(sat) (<300 mV), and mutual isolation between transistors - critical for precision biasing and dual-rail interface circuits.
Technical Context
This dual transistor integrates one NPN (TR1) and one PNP (TR2) die in a single SOT363-3 package with electrically isolated junctions and no mutual interference. Each transistor supports independent operation with separate emitter, base, and collector terminals - enabling complementary configurations without cross-coupling.
It delivers specified DC current gain (hFE) of 200–450 for TR1 (NPN) and comparable performance for TR2 (PNP) under identical test conditions (VCE = 5 V, IC = 2 mA, Tamb = 25 °C), with low collector capacitance (1.5 pF for TR1, 2.2 pF for TR2) and VBE(sat) of 755 mV (TR1) and ~655 mV (TR2).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCEO | 45 V - Maximum safe collector-emitter voltage before breakdown; defines rail compatibility up to ±45 V systems. |
| IC | 100 mA - Continuous collector current rating per transistor; supports medium-current switching (e.g., LED drivers, logic buffers). |
| hFE | 200–450 - Tight DC current gain spread at 2 mA/5 V; enables predictable bias design and reduces calibration need. |
| VCE(sat) | <300 mV @ IC = 100 mA, IB = 5 mA - Low saturation voltage minimizes conduction loss in switching applications. |
| fT | 100 MHz - Transition frequency for TR1 (NPN); suitable for audio-frequency amplification and low-speed digital switching. |
| Ptot | 250 mW (standard footprint) - Total power dissipation limit at 25 °C ambient; requires thermal derating above 75 °C. |
| Rth(j-a) | 568 K/W - Junction-to-ambient thermal resistance on FR4 PCB; informs heatsinking requirements for sustained operation. |
Pinout & Package
SOT363-3 (TSSOP6) plastic surface-mounted package with 0.65 mm lead pitch, 2.2 mm × 1.35 mm body, and exposed pad-compatible layout per Figure 16 and 17 of the datasheet.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Emitter of TR1 (NPN) | Provides low-impedance current sink path for NPN side; referenced to ground in common-emitter configuration. |
| 2 | Base of TR1 (NPN) | Controls NPN conduction; requires ~0.65 V forward bias and current-limited drive for saturation. |
| 3 | Collector of TR2 (PNP) | Current source node for PNP side; connects to positive rail in high-side switch applications. |
| 4 | Emitter of TR2 (PNP) | Provides low-impedance current source path for PNP side; referenced to VCC in common-emitter setup. |
| 5 | Base of TR2 (PNP) | Controls PNP conduction; driven low relative to emitter to enable conduction. |
| 6 | Collector of TR1 (NPN) | Current sink node for NPN side; connects to load or ground return in low-side switch configurations. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Closely matched hFE | 200–450 range for both TR1 and TR2 under identical bias - simplifies complementary amplifier bias network design. |
| No mutual interference | Electrically isolated NPN and PNP dies - eliminates crosstalk in mixed-signal or differential output stages. |
| Low VCE(sat) | <300 mV at full 100 mA load - reduces power loss and self-heating in battery-powered or thermally constrained PCBs. |
| Low collector capacitance | 1.5 pF (TR1), 2.2 pF (TR2) - preserves high-frequency response and minimizes Miller effect in switching nodes. |
| Space-saving dual configuration | Single SOT363-3 footprint replaces two discrete SOT23 devices - saves ≥40% board area and reduces assembly cost. |
Applications
| Level Translation Interface | Push-Pull Output Stage |
|---|---|
|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual complementary transistor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BC847BPDXV6T1G | Same SOT363-3 package, identical VCEO/IC, but hFE range 160–400; slightly higher VCE(sat) (350 mV typical). | Lower gain tolerance increases bias resistor sensitivity; less suitable for precision current mirrors. | Select when cost is prioritized over gain matching and thermal performance is secondary. |
| MBT3904DW1T1G | Higher VCEO (40 V), lower hFE (100–300), larger SOT363 footprint with different pinout (1–2–3 = E-B-C for both transistors). | Non-matching pinout prevents drop-in replacement; requires PCB redesign and layout verification. | Choose only if higher voltage margin is required and board revision is feasible. |
Compared with BC847BPN/DG/B2,115, BC847BPDXV6T1G trades gain consistency for cost, while MBT3904DW1T1G offers voltage headroom at the expense of pin compatibility and matching - making the BC847BPN the optimal choice for space- and precision-sensitive dual-rail interfaces.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature for BC847BPN/DG/B2,115?
The BC847BPN/DG/B2,115 has a maximum junction temperature (Tj) of 150 °C and an ambient operating range of −65 °C to +150 °C. Derating begins at 75 °C ambient, with total power dissipation dropping linearly to zero at 150 °C per the curves in Figure 1 of the datasheet.
Can BC847BPN/DG/B2,115 be used in linear amplification mode?
Yes - its specified hFE (200–450), low VCE(sat), and fT of 100 MHz support Class-A and Class-AB audio-frequency amplification. Stable operation requires proper biasing with emitter degeneration and thermal stabilization, especially above 50 mA collector current.
Is the BC847BPN/DG/B2,115 RoHS compliant and halogen-free?
Yes - BC847BPN/DG/B2,115 complies with EU RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and is halogen-free per Nexperia's product compliance documentation (reference: "Environmental Compliance Data Sheet BC847BPN"). Lead finish is matte tin, and packaging meets JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 1.
How does the pinout differ between BC847BPN and BC847BW?
BC847BPN uses a non-standard pinout (1=E1, 2=B1, 3=C2, 4=E2, 5=B2, 6=C1) optimized for complementary operation, whereas BC847BW (dual NPN) follows standard dual-NPN pinout (1=E1, 2=B1, 3=C1, 4=E2, 5=B2, 6=C2). Swapping them without layout modification causes functional failure.
