Product details
Overview
BC847BPN-QH from Nexperia is a dual NPN/PNP general-purpose transistor pair in a single SOT363-3 (TSSOP6) package, rated for 45 V VCEO, 100 mA IC, and featuring matched hFE (200–450), low VCE(sat) (≤300 mV), and AEC-Q101 qualification - used for complementary switching in automotive body control modules and sensor interface circuits.
For engineers reviewing the BC847BPN-QH datasheet, BC847BPN-QH pinout, BC847BPN-QH application, or BC847BPN-QH equivalent, this device is selected for space-constrained dual-polarity biasing, level translation, and discrete H-bridge driver stages where mutual isolation and thermal coupling control are critical.
Technical Context
This dual transistor integrates electrically isolated NPN (TR1) and PNP (TR2) die in one monolithic SOT363-3 package, with no shared substrate or parasitic coupling. Each transistor operates independently under its own bias conditions, supporting complementary push-pull configurations without cross-talk.
It delivers 100 MHz fT for both transistors at VCE = ±5 V and IC = 10 mA, with tightly controlled VBE matching (±25 mV typical) and low Cc (1.5 pF TR1 / 2.2 pF TR2), enabling stable high-frequency amplification and fast switching up to 100 kHz in PWM-driven loads.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCEO | 45 V - Maximum safe collector-emitter voltage per transistor before breakdown; supports 24 V automotive rail switching with margin. |
| IC | 100 mA continuous - Sustained current handling for LED drivers, relay coils, and small-signal logic-level loads. |
| hFE | 200–450 at VCE = 5 V, IC = 2 mA - Enables predictable base drive design with ≤5 mA IB for full saturation at 100 mA IC. |
| VCE(sat) | ≤300 mV at IC = 100 mA, IB = 5 mA - Minimizes conduction loss and self-heating in high-duty-cycle switching. |
| fT | 100 MHz - Supports RF pre-amplifier and high-speed digital signal conditioning up to ~10 MHz square-wave edges. |
| Ptot | 250 mW (standard footprint) - Limits thermal rise to <130 °C junction temperature at 25 °C ambient with FR4 PCB mounting. |
| AEC-Q101 | Qualified - Validated for automotive underhood applications including engine control units and lighting modules. |
Pinout & Package
SOT363-3 (TSSOP6) is a 6-pin, surface-mount plastic package measuring 2.2 mm × 1.35 mm × 0.95 mm, with gull-wing leads, 0.65 mm pitch, and exposed pad-compatible layout for enhanced thermal dissipation.
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Emitter of TR1 (NPN) | Low-impedance current sink node for NPN side; connects to ground or load return path. |
| 2 | Base of TR1 (NPN) | Control input for NPN transistor; requires ~5 mA drive for full saturation at 100 mA collector load. |
| 3 | Collector of TR2 (PNP) | Current source node for PNP side; ties to positive rail or high-side load connection. |
| 4 | Emitter of TR2 (PNP) | High-side reference node; connects to supply rail in high-side switch configuration. |
| 5 | Base of TR2 (PNP) | Inverted control input for PNP transistor; pulled low to enable conduction. |
| 6 | Collector of TR1 (NPN) | Current sink output node; drives load between VCC and this pin in low-side switch topology. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Closely matched hFE | 200–450 range across both transistors enables symmetrical gain in differential pairs and complementary amplifiers. |
| No mutual interference | Electrically isolated die structure eliminates crosstalk, allowing independent biasing and timing in push-pull stages. |
| Low VCE(sat) | ≤300 mV ensures <30 mW conduction loss at 100 mA, reducing thermal stress in compact PCB layouts. |
| Low collector capacitance | Cc = 1.5 pF (TR1) / 2.2 pF (TR2) preserves bandwidth in RF amplifier and oscillator buffer designs. |
| AEC-Q101 qualification | Validated for automotive temperature cycling (−40 °C to +150 °C), ESD (>2 kV HBM), and mechanical shock. |
Applications
| Automotive Door Module Switching | Industrial Sensor Signal Conditioning |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-transistor switching applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BC847BPDXV6T1G | Same SOT363-3 package, identical pinout, but rated only to 105 °C (not AEC-Q101 qualified). | Limited to industrial/commercial use; unsuitable for under-hood automotive deployment. | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs automotive qualification requirements. |
| MBT3904DW1T1G | Higher VCEO (40 V), lower hFE (100–300), and larger SOT-363 footprint with different pin mapping (E-B-C-E-B-C). | Requires PCB redesign; less suitable for precision-matched gain applications. | Choose only if higher breakdown voltage is mandatory and layout flexibility exists. |
Compared with BC847BPDXV6T1G and MBT3904DW1T1G, BC847BPN-QH uniquely combines AEC-Q101 compliance, tight hFE matching, and verified thermal performance in the smallest standardized dual-transistor footprint - making it the default choice for new automotive electronics designs requiring reliability and miniaturization.

FAQ
Is BC847BPN-QH pin-compatible with BC847BPN?
Yes - BC847BPN-QH shares identical SOT363-3 pinout, electrical specifications, and thermal behavior with BC847BPN. The "-QH" suffix denotes Nexperia's automotive-grade tape-and-reel packaging with enhanced moisture sensitivity level (MSL1) and full traceability, not a functional change.
What is the maximum allowable pulsed collector current for BC847BPN-QH?
The peak collector current rating is 200 mA per transistor under single-pulse conditions (tp ≤ 1 ms, duty cycle δ ≤ 0.02). This allows short-duration surge handling for motor commutation spikes or ESD transient clamping without exceeding junction temperature limits.
Can BC847BPN-QH be used in linear amplifier configurations?
Yes - with hFE stability across −55 °C to +150 °C and low distortion at IC = 2 mA, it supports Class-A audio preamplifiers and instrumentation front-ends. However, its 250 mW Ptot limits usable output power to <10 mW into 1 kΩ loads to maintain THD <1%.
Does BC847BPN-QH require external base resistors in switching applications?
Yes - base current must be limited to prevent damage. For 100 mA IC saturation, a 1 kΩ resistor from 5 V logic to pin 2 (NPN base) delivers ~4.3 mA IB, satisfying the IC/IB = 20 rule while staying within the 200 mA IBM peak rating.
