Product details
Overview
BC847BPNH-QF from Nexperia is an AEC-Q101-qualified NPN/PNP general-purpose double transistor in SOT363 (SC-88) package, rated for 45 V VCEO, 100 mA IC, and 175 °C junction temperature. It integrates matched gain transistors with low VCE(sat) (200–300 mV at 100 mA), low collector capacitance (1.2 pF NPN / 1.8 pF PNP), and no mutual interference - used in automotive-level dual-polarity biasing and complementary switching circuits.
For engineers reviewing the BC847BPNH-QF datasheet, BC847BPNH-QF pinout, BC847BPNH-QF application, or BC847BPNH-QF equivalent, this device supports high-temperature dual-transistor functions requiring precise current gain matching, minimal board space, and automotive-grade reliability without external isolation components.
Technical Context
This dual transistor combines one NPN (TR1) and one PNP (TR2) die in a single SOT363 package, with independent terminals and no internal coupling - enabling true complementary operation in push-pull stages or differential pairs. Each transistor maintains separate absolute maximum ratings, thermal resistance values (Rth(j-a) = 375 K/W per device), and characteristic curves across temperature.
It operates under AEC-Q101 stress qualification, supporting ambient temperatures from −55 °C to +175 °C and junction temperatures up to 175 °C. Key electrical behaviors include closely matched hFE (200–450 at 2 mA), low noise figure (1.7 dB NPN, 3.1–3.3 dB PNP), and frequency response up to 100 MHz (fT) for TR1 and comparable bandwidth for TR2.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCEO | 45 V - Maximum safe collector-emitter voltage before breakdown; enables use in 36 V automotive supply rails with margin. |
| IC | 100 mA - Continuous collector current rating per transistor; supports medium-current switching in sensor interfaces and logic drivers. |
| hFE | 200–450 - DC current gain range at VCE = 5 V, IC = 2 mA; ensures stable biasing in amplifier and switch configurations. |
| VCE(sat) | 200–300 mV - Saturation voltage at IC = 100 mA, IB = 5 mA; minimizes conduction loss in high-efficiency switching nodes. |
| Ptot | 400 mW - Total power dissipation per device on FR4 PCB; defines thermal design envelope for compact layouts. |
| fT | 100 MHz - Transition frequency for NPN transistor; supports signal amplification and switching up to low RF bands. |
| Rth(j-a) | 375 K/W - Junction-to-ambient thermal resistance per device; informs heatsinking requirements for sustained 100 mA operation. |
Pinout & Package
SOT363 (TSSOP6) plastic surface-mount package: 6-pin, 0.65 mm pitch, 2.1 mm × 1.25 mm × 0.95 mm body size, optimized for automated reflow assembly and high-density routing.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Emitter of TR1 (NPN) | Provides low-impedance current sink path for NPN transistor; connects to ground or load return in common-emitter switches. |
| 2 | Base of TR1 (NPN) | Controls NPN conduction; requires ~0.7 V forward bias and current-limited drive for saturation. |
| 3 | Collector of TR2 (PNP) | Current source output for PNP transistor; connects to positive rail or load supply in high-side switching. |
| 4 | Emitter of TR2 (PNP) | Connects to VCC or regulated supply; forms high-side reference node for complementary output stages. |
| 5 | Base of TR2 (PNP) | Enables PNP turn-on with negative base drive relative to emitter; compatible with microcontroller GPIO via level-shifting resistors. |
| 6 | Collector of TR1 (NPN) | Primary output node for NPN; delivers switched current to loads such as LEDs, relays, or logic inputs. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Matched hFE tracking | Both transistors share identical gain binning (200–450), enabling precise current mirroring and balanced differential pair operation. |
| No mutual interference | Electrically isolated dies eliminate crosstalk between NPN and PNP sections - critical for noise-sensitive analog front-ends. |
| AEC-Q101 qualification | Validated for automotive applications including engine control modules and body electronics with full stress-test compliance. |
| High-temperature capability | Junction rating up to 175 °C allows deployment in under-hood environments without derating or additional cooling. |
| Space-saving integration | Replaces two discrete SOT23 transistors, reducing PCB area by >40% and eliminating layout mismatch in complementary circuits. |
Applications
| Automotive Door Module Control | Industrial Sensor Signal Conditioning |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Driving window lift motor direction and interior light dimming in vehicle door modules. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual-transistor switch providing bidirectional H-bridge half-leg control and PWM-adjustable current sourcing/sinking.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar NPN/PNP dual transistor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BC847BPN,215 | Same die, non-AEC-Q101 qualified; identical electrical specs but lacks automotive stress testing documentation. | Acceptable for industrial/commercial designs where AEC-Q101 is not mandated; lower cost and broader availability. | Select when automotive qualification is unnecessary and cost sensitivity outweighs long-term reliability validation needs. |
| MBT3904DW1T1G | Lower VCEO (40 V), higher VCE(sat) (300–600 mV), no AEC-Q101 rating; different pinout (1–2–3–4–5–6 = E-B-C-E-B-C). | Limited to ≤36 V systems; less suitable for high-temp automotive use due to 150 °C max Tj and unqualified construction. | Choose only for legacy compatibility or cost-driven non-automotive designs where 45 V margin and 175 °C operation are not required. |
Compared with BC847BPNH-QF, BC847BPN,215 offers identical performance without automotive certification, while MBT3904DW1T1G trades voltage margin, thermal capability, and qualification for broader distributor stock - making BC847BPNH-QF the sole choice for new AEC-compliant designs needing 45 V/175 °C operation.

FAQ
Is BC847BPNH-QF pin-compatible with BC847BPN,215?
Yes - both share identical SOT363 (TSSOP6) pinout: Pin 1 = E1, Pin 2 = B1, Pin 3 = C2, Pin 4 = E2, Pin 5 = B2, Pin 6 = C1. Electrical parameters and thermal characteristics are identical; only qualification status differs (AEC-Q101 vs. commercial grade).
What is the maximum continuous power dissipation for BC847BPNH-QF at 100 °C ambient?
At 100 °C ambient, the device's total power dissipation must be derated from its 400 mW rating at 25 °C. Using the per-device Rth(j-a) of 375 K/W, maximum allowable Ptot = (175 °C − 100 °C) / 375 K/W ≈ 200 mW - confirmed by Figure 1 in the datasheet.
Can BC847BPNH-QF replace two separate BC847B transistors in a circuit?
Yes, provided the circuit uses independent NPN and PNP paths with no shared terminals. The internal isolation ensures no functional compromise, and the matched hFE improves consistency. Layout must respect the fixed SOT363 pin assignment - especially collector/emitter orientation per transistor.
Does BC847BPNH-QF support pulsed operation beyond its 100 mA DC rating?
Yes - it supports peak collector current (ICM) up to 200 mA in single pulses ≤1 ms, as specified in Table 5. This enables short-duration surge handling in relay drivers or LED strobes, provided average power remains within 400 mW and thermal limits are observed.
