Product details
Overview
BC847BPN-Q 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 DC current gain (hFE) of 200–450 at 2 mA. It delivers low VCE(sat) (≤300 mV), low collector capacitance (≤2.2 pF), and AEC-Q101 qualification - enabling compact, interference-free switching in automotive body control modules.
For engineers reviewing the BC847BPN-Q datasheet, BC847BPN-Q pinout, BC847BPN-Q application, or BC847BPN-Q equivalent, this device supports dual-polarity signal routing, matched gain tracking, thermal-aware PCB layout, and automotive-grade reliability validation - critical when designing space-constrained, high-reliability discrete logic interfaces.
Technical Context
This dual transistor integrates one NPN (TR1) and one PNP (TR2) die in a monolithic SOT363-3 package with electrically isolated junctions - eliminating mutual interference while maintaining independent biasing and switching behavior. Each transistor supports full 45 V breakdown voltage and operates across −65 °C to +150 °C ambient range.
The device uses standard bipolar planar technology with optimized base doping and emitter geometry to achieve tight hFE matching (200–450 typ.) and low saturation voltages (VCE(sat) ≤ 300 mV @ IC/IB = 20). Its 1.5–2.2 pF collector capacitance enables stable operation up to 100 MHz fT for both transistors.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCEO | 45 V - Maximum safe collector-emitter voltage before breakdown; defines rail compatibility in 3.3 V/5 V/12 V automotive logic interfaces. |
| IC | 100 mA - Continuous collector current handling; sufficient for driving LEDs, small relays, and logic-level MOSFET gates. |
| hFE | 200–450 @ VCE = 5 V, IC = 2 mA - Tight DC current gain spread ensures predictable base drive requirements and consistent switching thresholds. |
| VCE(sat) | ≤300 mV @ IC = 100 mA, IB = 5 mA - Low saturation voltage minimizes power loss and self-heating during on-state operation. |
| Cc | 1.5 pF (NPN), 2.2 pF (PNP) - Low collector capacitance preserves high-frequency response and reduces crosstalk in fast-switching applications. |
| Ptot | 250 mW (standard footprint), 400 mW (enhanced pad) - Thermal derating curves support reliable operation under varying PCB copper area conditions. |
| AEC-Q101 | Qualified - Meets stress-test requirements for automotive discrete semiconductors, including temperature cycling, HTRB, and ESD. |
Pinout & Package
SOT363-3 (TSSOP6) plastic surface-mounted package: 1.3 mm × 2.2 mm × 0.95 mm profile, 0.65 mm pitch, 6-pin lead frame with exposed pad-compatible footprint per Fig. 17–18.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Emitter of TR1 (NPN) | Low-impedance current sink node for NPN side; connects to ground or load return path in high-side switch configurations. |
| 2 | Base of TR1 (NPN) | Control input for NPN transistor; requires ~0.65 V forward bias and precise current limiting for saturation. |
| 3 | Collector of TR2 (PNP) | Current source node for PNP side; ties to positive rail in low-side switch or complementary output stages. |
| 4 | Emitter of TR2 (PNP) | High-side reference node; connects to VCC in emitter-follower or level-shifting circuits. |
| 5 | Base of TR2 (PNP) | Inverted control input for PNP transistor; active-low logic interface compatible with microcontroller GPIO. |
| 6 | Collector of TR1 (NPN) | Output node for NPN side; drives loads connected between collector and VCC in common-emitter switching. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Closely matched hFE | 200–450 range per transistor ensures consistent gain ratio between NPN and PNP sections for balanced push-pull operation. |
| No mutual interference | Electrically isolated dies prevent cross-talk, enabling independent switching timing and noise immunity in mixed-signal nodes. |
| Low VCE(sat) | ≤300 mV at full 100 mA load reduces conduction loss by >40% vs. legacy BC847 variants, improving thermal margin. |
| AEC-Q101 qualification | Validated for automotive underhood environments - supports 15-year service life in BCM, lighting, and HVAC control units. |
| Reduced board space | Dual-transistor integration replaces two discrete SOT23 devices, cutting PCB area by ~45% and assembly cost per function. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual NPN/PNP transistor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BC847BPDXV6T1G | Same SOT363-3 package, identical pinout, but rated only to 40 V VCEO and not AEC-Q101 qualified. | Limited to industrial/commercial use; unsuitable for automotive underhood or safety-critical subsystems. | Select only if AEC-Q101 is not required and supply rails stay ≤40 V. |
| MBT3904DW1T1G | Higher VCEO (60 V), lower hFE (100–300), no AEC-Q101 qualification, same SOT363 footprint. | Better for higher-voltage industrial controls but lacks automotive reliability validation and gain matching. | Choose when voltage headroom >45 V is essential and gain consistency is secondary. |
Compared with BC847BPDXV6T1G and MBT3904DW1T1G, the BC847BPN-Q uniquely combines AEC-Q101 qualification, 45 V rating, and tight hFE matching - making it the only option for automotive-compliant dual-transistor switching where thermal robustness and parametric consistency are non-negotiable.

FAQ
Is BC847BPN-Q pin-compatible with BC847BPN?
Yes - BC847BPN-Q shares identical SOT363-3 pinout, electrical specifications, and thermal characteristics with BC847BPN, differing only in AEC-Q101 qualification and enhanced process control for automotive use. No PCB or schematic changes are needed for drop-in replacement in qualified designs.
What is the maximum continuous power dissipation for BC847BPN-Q on a standard FR4 PCB?
At Tamb ≤ 25 °C, BC847BPN-Q delivers 250 mW total power dissipation on a standard FR4 PCB (single-sided, 35 μm copper, tin-plated, standard footprint). Derating begins linearly above 25 °C at 5.68 mW/°C, reaching zero at 150 °C junction temperature.
Can BC847BPN-Q be used in linear amplification mode?
Yes - its specified hFE (200–450), low VCE(sat), and stable fT (100 MHz) support Class-A and Class-AB small-signal amplification. However, thermal resistance (Rth(j-a) = 568 K/W) limits usable output power to <50 mW in free-air conditions without heatsinking.
Does BC847BPN-Q require special PCB layout considerations for thermal performance?
Yes - for optimal thermal performance, use the enhanced solder pad layout (1 cm² collector pad) referenced in Fig. 18 to achieve 400 mW Ptot. Standard footprints limit power handling to 250 mW; thermal vias under the exposed pad are recommended for sustained >200 mW operation.
