Product details
Overview
BC847BPN-QX from Nexperia is an AEC-Q101-qualified NPN/PNP matched transistor pair in a single SOT363-3 (TSSOP6) package, rated for 45 V VCEO, 100 mA IC, and 200–450 hFE at 2 mA. It delivers low VCE(sat) (≤300 mV), low collector capacitance (≤2.2 pF), and no mutual interference-enabling compact dual-polarity switching in automotive body control modules.
For engineers reviewing the BC847BPN-QX datasheet, BC847BPN-QX pinout, BC847BPN-QX application, or BC847BPN-QX equivalent, this device supports high-reliability dual-transistor functions where matched gain, thermal coupling, and space-constrained PCB layout are critical selection criteria.
Technical Context
This dual discrete uses complementary NPN (TR1) and PNP (TR2) silicon planar epitaxial transistors fabricated on the same die to ensure tight hFE matching (200–450) and symmetrical saturation behavior. Each transistor operates independently with isolated terminals-no shared emitter or base connections.
It supports DC switching and small-signal amplification with fT ≥100 MHz (NPN) and ≥80 MHz (PNP), VBE = 655 mV typ (NPN), and VBE = 655 mV typ (PNP) at 2 mA, enabling push-pull driver stages and level-shifting interfaces in 5 V and 12 V automotive subsystems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCEO | 45 V - Maximum safe collector-emitter voltage per transistor under open-base conditions; enables use in 36 V automotive supply rails with margin. |
| IC | 100 mA continuous - Sustained collector current capability per transistor; suitable for driving LEDs, relays, and logic-level MOSFET gates. |
| hFE | 200–450 at VCE = 5 V, IC = 2 mA - Tight DC current gain spread ensures predictable biasing and consistent switching thresholds across both transistors. |
| VCE(sat) | ≤300 mV at IC = 100 mA, IB = 5 mA - Low saturation voltage minimizes power loss and self-heating in high-duty-cycle switching applications. |
| Cc | 1.5 pF (NPN), 2.2 pF (PNP) at VCB = 10 V - Low collector capacitance preserves high-frequency response up to 100 MHz and reduces capacitive crosstalk. |
| Ptot | 250 mW (standard footprint), 400 mW (enhanced pad) - Thermal derating allows stable operation up to +125 °C ambient when mounted per JEDEC standards. |
Pinout & Package
BC847BPN-QX is housed in a 6-pin TSSOP6 (SOT363-3) surface-mount plastic package measuring 2.2 mm × 1.35 mm × 0.95 mm, with gull-wing leads and 0.65 mm pitch. The package is qualified for reflow and wave soldering per J-STD-020 and J-STD-006.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Emitter of TR1 (NPN) | Provides low-impedance current sink path for NPN transistor; connects directly to ground or load return in common-emitter switches. |
| 2 | Base of TR1 (NPN) | Controls NPN conduction; requires ~0.65 V forward bias and ~5 mA drive for full saturation at 100 mA load. |
| 3 | Collector of TR2 (PNP) | High-side current source node for PNP transistor; ties to positive rail in high-side switch configurations. |
| 4 | Emitter of TR2 (PNP) | Connects to VCC or regulated supply; serves as current source output in emitter-follower or saturated switch topologies. |
| 5 | Base of TR2 (PNP) | Enables PNP turn-on with negative-going control signal; biased via resistor to ground for active-low logic interfacing. |
| 6 | Collector of TR1 (NPN) | Low-side switching node; routes load current to ground when TR1 is saturated; compatible with 3.3 V/5 V microcontroller outputs. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Closely matched hFE | 200–450 range for both NPN and PNP transistors ensures balanced current gain in complementary amplifier or driver stages. |
| No mutual interference | Fully isolated transistor die structure eliminates electrical coupling-critical for noise-sensitive analog sensing and mixed-signal timing circuits. |
| AEC-Q101 qualification | Validated for automotive temperature range (−40 °C to +150 °C) and mechanical stress; supports under-hood and chassis-mounted ECUs. |
| Low VCE(sat) | ≤300 mV at IC/IB = 20 enables >97% efficiency in 12 V load switching with minimal thermal rise on FR4 PCBs. |
| Reduced board space | Single SOT363-3 footprint replaces two discrete SOT23 devices-saves ≥40% PCB area and eliminates routing complexity for dual-rail drivers. |
Applications
| Automotive Door Module Driver | USB-C Port Power Switch |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Driving window lift motors and mirror actuators in centralized door control units. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual-transistor switch providing complementary high-side (PNP) and low-side (NPN) control for bidirectional motor current flow.

Use Scenario: Enabling/disabling VBUS and CC line termination in USB-C receptacles. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Discrete-level power path controller managing 5 V/3 A delivery and dynamic CC pull-up/down sequencing. Use Value: Independent pinning allows separate control of VBUS (TR2 PNP) and CC logic (TR1 NPN), eliminating need for external level shifters. |
| Industrial Sensor Signal Conditioning | Smart Lighting Dimming Interface |
|
Use Scenario: Amplifying and level-shifting analog sensor outputs (e.g., thermistor, Hall effect) before ADC sampling. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: NPN common-emitter amplifier and PNP emitter-follower buffer stage operating from split ±5 V rails. Use Value: Low Cc (<2.2 pF) preserves signal integrity up to 100 kHz; matched hFE maintains consistent gain across temperature. |
Use Scenario: Controlling PWM-driven LED strings in architectural lighting fixtures with DALI or 0–10 V interface. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-speed switching element translating microcontroller PWM into gate drive for external MOSFETs. Use Value: fT ≥100 MHz supports clean 20 kHz PWM edges; low VCE(sat) limits conduction loss during 95% duty cycle operation. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-transistor switching applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BC846BPN-Q | Lower VCEO (65 V vs. 45 V), identical hFE range and package; higher breakdown but same thermal rating. | Suitable for 24 V industrial controls requiring higher voltage margin; not optimized for automotive 12 V/42 V systems with strict AEC-Q101 requirements. | Select when system overvoltage transients exceed 45 V and AEC-Q101 compliance is secondary to voltage headroom. |
| MBT3904DW1T1G | Higher VCEO (40 V), lower hFE (100–300), wider Cc spread (3–5 pF); non-AEC-Q101, SOT-363 package. | Acceptable for consumer-grade lighting or appliance control; lacks automotive qualification and gain matching precision. | Choose only for cost-sensitive non-automotive designs where 200–450 hFE matching and 150 °C junction operation are unnecessary. |
Compared with BC847BPN-QX, BC846BPN-Q offers higher voltage tolerance but identical thermal and gain performance, while MBT3904DW1T1G trades AEC-Q101 reliability and tight hFE for broader availability and lower unit cost in non-automotive contexts.

FAQ
Is BC847BPN-QX pin-compatible with BC847BW?
No. BC847BPN-QX uses a 6-pin SOT363-3 (TSSOP6) layout with interleaved NPN/PNP terminals, while BC847BW is a 3-pin SOT323 single NPN transistor. Pin mapping, package dimensions, and thermal profiles differ fundamentally-PCB redesign is required for substitution.
What is the maximum allowable pulsed collector current for BC847BPN-QX?
The peak collector current is 200 mA per transistor under single-pulse conditions (tp ≤ 1 ms), as specified in Table 5. This rating assumes proper PCB thermal relief and does not apply to continuous DC operation, which remains limited to 100 mA per device.
Does BC847BPN-QX support operation at −40 °C ambient temperature?
Yes. Its qualified operating ambient temperature range is −65 °C to +150 °C, and it is AEC-Q101 certified for automotive use-including cold-cranking scenarios down to −40 °C. Electrical parameters (e.g., hFE, VBE) remain within spec across this full range.
Can BC847BPN-QX be used in linear amplification mode?
Yes. With VCE = 5 V and IC = 2 mA, its hFE is 200–450 and fT ≥100 MHz, supporting small-signal amplification up to ~10 MHz. However, its primary design intent is switching; for precision analog gain, dedicated RF or audio transistors are recommended.
