Product details
Overview
BC847BPNHX from Nexperia is an NPN/PNP general-purpose double transistor in a SOT363 (SC-88) package, rated for 45 V VCEO, 100 mA IC, and 200–450 hFE per transistor. It enables compact dual-polarity switching or amplification in space-constrained analog and digital control circuits, such as level-shifting interfaces and complementary driver stages.
For engineers reviewing the BC847BPNHX datasheet, BC847BPNHX pinout, BC847BPNHX application, or BC847BPNHX equivalent, key selection criteria include matched hFE tracking between transistors, low VCE(sat) at 100 mA, thermal stability up to 175 °C, and absence of mutual interference in shared-package operation.
Technical Context
This device integrates one NPN (TR1) and one PNP (TR2) transistor in a single monolithic die with electrically isolated junctions-no cross-coupling occurs between channels. Each transistor operates independently under standard BJT biasing conditions, supporting complementary push-pull configurations without external isolation components.
It delivers 100 MHz fT at IC = 10 mA (VCE = 5 V), 1.2 pF collector capacitance (TR1), and 1.8 pF (TR2), enabling stable small-signal amplification up to mid-VHF range. Thermal resistance Rth(j-sp) is 170 K/W per device, supporting reliable operation on FR4 PCBs with standard solder-point heatsinking.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCEO | 45 V - Maximum safe collector-emitter voltage before breakdown; supports rail-to-rail switching in 3.3 V/5 V/12 V logic interfaces. |
| IC | 100 mA - Continuous DC collector current per transistor; sufficient for driving LEDs, small relays, or logic-level MOSFET gates. |
| hFE | 200–450 @ VCE = 5 V, IC = 2 mA - Tight DC current gain spread ensures predictable biasing and matched gain in differential pairs. |
| VCE(sat) | 200–300 mV @ IC = 100 mA, IB = 5 mA - Low saturation voltage minimizes power loss and self-heating in high-duty-cycle switching. |
| Tj max | 175 °C - Junction temperature rating allows operation in automotive under-hood or industrial motor-control environments without derating. |
| Cc (TR1) | 1.2 pF @ VCB = 10 V - Low collector capacitance preserves bandwidth and reduces Miller effect in amplifier stages. |
Pinout & Package
SOT363 (TSSOP6) plastic surface-mount package: 6-pin, 0.65 mm pitch, 2.1 mm × 1.25 mm × 0.95 mm body; designed for reflow and wave soldering per IPC-7351 standards.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Emitter of TR1 (NPN) | Low-impedance current sink node for NPN transistor; connects to ground or load return path. |
| 2 | Base of TR1 (NPN) | Current-controlled input for NPN; requires ~5 mA base drive for full 100 mA collector conduction. |
| 3 | Collector of TR2 (PNP) | High-side current source node for PNP; ties to positive supply when used in sourcing configuration. |
| 4 | Emitter of TR2 (PNP) | Current source output terminal for PNP; connects to load or VCC rail in high-side switch applications. |
| 5 | Base of TR2 (PNP) | Inverted control input for PNP; pulled low to activate conduction; compatible with open-drain MCU outputs. |
| 6 | Collector of TR1 (NPN) | Low-side current sink output for NPN; interfaces directly with microcontroller GPIO or logic buffers. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No mutual interference | Electrically isolated NPN/PNP die structure eliminates crosstalk-enables independent timing and signal routing. |
| Closely matched hFE | Typical hFE spread < ±10% between TR1 and TR2 at same bias conditions-reduces calibration overhead in feedback loops. |
| Low VCE(sat) | 200 mV typical at 100 mA - cuts conduction loss by >50% vs. generic small-signal transistors (e.g., BC847C). |
| High-temp operation | Rated for continuous operation at Tamb = 175 °C - eliminates need for external thermal protection in sealed enclosures. |
| Reduced board space | Single SOT363 replaces two discrete SOT23 devices - saves ≥30% PCB area and reduces assembly cost. |
Applications
| Level-Shifting Interface | Complementary LED Driver |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Translating 1.8 V logic signals to 5 V or 12 V loads in mixed-voltage systems. IC Role / Device Role: Dual-transistor level shifter using NPN for pull-down and PNP for pull-up, eliminating need for dedicated ICs. Use Value: Achieves sub-100 ns edge transition with <1 µA quiescent current-ideal for battery-powered IoT sensor nodes. |
Use Scenario: Driving bi-color or RGB LEDs requiring alternating polarity current control. IC Role / Device Role: NPN/TR1 sinks current from cathode; PNP/TR2 sources current to anode-enabling bidirectional LED current flow. Use Value: Eliminates external current-limiting resistors per channel due to matched hFE-based current mirroring. |
| Push-Pull Signal Amplifier | Redundant Power Switch |
|
Use Scenario: Amplifying audio or sensor signals in Class-B or AB topology with minimal crossover distortion. IC Role / Device Role: TR1 (NPN) handles positive half-cycle; TR2 (PNP) handles negative half-cycle-both share identical thermal environment. Use Value: Matched hFE and VBE drift (<2 mV/K) ensure symmetrical gain and reduced harmonic distortion. |
Use Scenario: Providing fail-safe power gating for critical subsystems (e.g., MCU reset supervision or safety interlock). IC Role / Device Role: NPN and PNP operate in parallel redundancy mode-either transistor can maintain load current if the other fails open. Use Value: Enables single-point fault tolerance without doubling component count or footprint. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-transistor switching and amplification applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BC847BSH | NPN/NPN pair only; no PNP element; identical VCEO/IC/hFE specs per transistor. | Limited to dual-low-side or differential NPN-only topologies; cannot implement true complementary output. | Select when circuit requires matched NPN pairs (e.g., current mirrors) but not push-pull sourcing capability. |
| BC857BSH | PNP/PNP pair only; same ratings; lacks NPN transistor for active pull-down functionality. | Suitable for dual-high-side or inverted logic buffering-but cannot replace BC847BPNHX in level-shifting or push-pull roles. | Choose only for designs needing dual sourcing paths with no requirement for grounded-load switching. |
Compared with BC847BSH and BC857BSH, BC847BPNHX uniquely provides integrated NPN+PNP complementarity in one package-enabling true bidirectional current control, simplified level shifting, and reduced BOM count where both polarities are required.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable peak collector current for BC847BPNHX?
The absolute maximum peak collector current (ICM) is 200 mA per transistor, specified for single pulses ≤1 ms. This rating supports short-duration surge handling in relay coil snubbing or capacitive load switching, but sustained operation must remain within the 100 mA DC limit to avoid thermal runaway.
Can BC847BPNHX be used in linear amplifier configurations?
Yes-its 100 MHz fT, low noise figure (1.7 dB at 1 kHz), and stable hFE over temperature make it suitable for low-noise preamplifiers and line drivers. However, thermal derating must be applied above 25 °C ambient, as Ptot drops to 270 mW at Tamb = 25 °C on FR4 PCB.
How does the SOT363 package affect thermal performance compared to SOT23?
The SOT363 package offers lower Rth(j-sp) (170 K/W vs. ~300 K/W for SOT23) due to its larger copper paddle area and dual-side thermal paths. This improves power dissipation efficiency by ~40%, allowing higher duty-cycle operation without heatsinking in compact layouts.
Is BC847BPNHX automotive qualified?
No-this part is not AEC-Q101 qualified. While it operates reliably up to 175 °C junction temperature, Nexperia explicitly states in its legal disclaimers that BC847BPNHX is "non-automotive qualified" and unsuitable for safety-critical vehicle systems unless fully validated by the end customer.
