Product details
Overview
BC847BVN from Nexperia is a dual NPN/PNP general-purpose transistor pair in a single SOT666 package, rated for 45 V VCEO, 100 mA IC, and 300 mW total power dissipation. It serves as a compact complementary switching/amplification solution in space-constrained PCBs, replacing two discrete SC-75 transistors while maintaining matched thermal and electrical behavior.
For engineers reviewing the BC847BVN datasheet, BC847BVN pinout, BC847BVN application, or BC847BVN equivalent, key selection criteria include its dual-transistor topology, ultra-small 1.6 mm × 1.2 mm footprint, guaranteed hFE range (200–450), complementary polarity pairing, and reflow-soldering compatibility per JEDEC J-STD-020.
Technical Context
This device integrates one NPN (TR1) and one PNP (TR2) transistor in a monolithic SOT666 package with shared thermal path and matched process characteristics. Both transistors share identical absolute maximum ratings - including ±45 V VCEO, ±100 mA IC, and ±200 mA ICM - enabling symmetrical complementary operation in push-pull or driver stages.
Electrical performance is specified across temperature (−55 °C to +150 °C) with typical hFE curves showing minimal variation over collector current (1 mA–100 mA) and ambient temperature. Saturation voltages (VCEsat ≤ 300 mV at IC = 100 mA, IB = 5 mA) and transition frequency (fT = 100 MHz for NPN) support medium-speed switching and linear amplification.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCEO | 45 V - Maximum safe collector-emitter voltage for both NPN and PNP transistors under open-base conditions. |
| IC | 100 mA - Continuous DC collector current rating per transistor, defining usable load drive capability. |
| hFE | 200–450 - DC current gain at VCE = 5 V, IC = 2 mA, enabling predictable bias design for amplification or switching. |
| Ptot | 300 mW - Total device power dissipation on FR4 PCB, setting thermal limits for simultaneous dual-transistor operation. |
| fT | 100 MHz - Transition frequency of NPN transistor, supporting signal amplification up to mid-VHF band. |
| VCEsat | ≤300 mV - Collector-emitter saturation voltage at IC = 100 mA, IB = 5 mA, ensuring low conduction loss in switch mode. |
| Rth(j-a) | 416 K/W - Junction-to-ambient thermal resistance in free air, informing derating requirements for ambient temperatures above 25 °C. |
Pinout & Package
SOT666 is a 6-pin, 0.5 mm pitch, ultra-thin surface-mount plastic package measuring 1.6 mm × 1.2 mm × 0.55 mm. Its compact footprint enables high-density placement and eliminates need for separate NPN/PNP footprints.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Emitter of NPN transistor (TR1) | Low-impedance current sink node for NPN side; connects to ground or low-side load return path. |
| 2 | Base of NPN transistor (TR1) | Control input for NPN switching; requires ~0.65 V forward bias and sufficient base current for saturation. |
| 3 | Collector of PNP transistor (TR2) | High-side current source node; connects to positive rail or load supply in complementary configurations. |
| 4 | Emitter of PNP transistor (TR2) | Current source output node; ties to VCC or load high-side connection in push-pull topologies. |
| 5 | Base of PNP transistor (TR2) | Inverted control input for PNP; driven low relative to emitter to enable conduction. |
| 6 | Collector of NPN transistor (TR1) | Primary output node for NPN switching; delivers current to load when saturated, referenced to ground. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual complementary topology | Single-package NPN+PNP pairing ensures matched thermal drift, gain tracking, and layout symmetry for balanced driver stages. |
| Ultra-small footprint | 1.6 mm × 1.2 mm area replaces two SC-75 devices, reducing PCB real estate by >40% and simplifying pick-and-place programming. |
| Reflow-compatible construction | Qualified for standard lead-free reflow per JEDEC J-STD-020, eliminating hand-soldering risk in automated assembly. |
| Wide operating temperature | Rated from −65 °C to +150 °C junction temperature, supporting industrial and extended-temperature applications without derating. |
| Matched limiting values | Identical VCEO, IC, and Ptot ratings for both transistors simplify design margining and BOM consolidation. |
Applications
| Switch Mode Power Supply Driver | Audio Amplifier Complementary Stage |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Driving gate of complementary MOSFETs in half-bridge SMPS controllers. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: NPN/TR1 and PNP/TR2 act as active pull-up/pull-down stage to rapidly charge/discharge MOSFET gates. Use Value: Low VCEsat (≤300 mV) minimizes driver conduction loss; matched hFE ensures symmetrical rise/fall times. |
Use Scenario: Output stage of Class AB audio amplifier delivering ±100 mA peak current to speaker load. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: TR1 (NPN) sources current during positive half-cycle; TR2 (PNP) sinks current during negative half-cycle. Use Value: Tight hFE spread (200–450) reduces crossover distortion; thermal coupling minimizes thermal runaway risk. |
| General Purpose Logic-Level Switching | Level Translation Interface |
|
Use Scenario: Controlling 5 V/3.3 V peripheral loads (LEDs, relays, sensors) from microcontroller GPIO pins. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: NPN/TR1 acts as low-side switch; PNP/TR2 provides high-side sourcing where needed. Use Value: Guaranteed hFE ≥200 at IC = 2 mA allows reliable saturation with 10 kΩ base resistors from 3.3 V logic. |
Use Scenario: Translating between 1.8 V logic outputs and 5 V bus signals in mixed-voltage systems. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: NPN/TR1 inverter stage shifts logic level up; PNP/TR2 provides inverted high-side reference. Use Value: VBE = 580–700 mV (NPN) and −600 to −750 mV (PNP) enable robust turn-on with minimal external components. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual complementary transistor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BC846BVN,115 | Lower hFE range (110–220) and same VCEO/IC ratings; otherwise identical SOT666 pinout and thermal specs. | Less suitable for low-base-drive applications requiring high gain; acceptable where higher drive current is available. | Select when lower gain suffices and cost optimization is prioritized over margin in bias design. |
| BC848BVN,115 | Higher hFE (300–630) but same VCEO/IC; slightly higher VCEsat (max 400 mV) at full load. | Better for ultra-low-base-current designs but may require thermal review at 100 mA due to higher dissipation. | Choose when maximizing current gain is critical and board-level thermal management supports higher VCEsat. |
Compared with BC847BVN, BC846BVN offers reduced gain headroom at lower cost, while BC848BVN extends gain range at the expense of marginally higher saturation loss - making BC847BVN the balanced choice for general-purpose dual-transistor needs.

FAQ
Is BC847BVN suitable for automotive applications?
No. The BC847BVN is explicitly marked as non-automotive qualified in its revision history (v.4, Dec 2022). It lacks AEC-Q101 qualification, automotive-grade screening, and extended reliability testing. For automotive use, select Nexperia's AEC-Q101-qualified equivalents such as the BC847BQ series.
What is the maximum continuous power dissipation per transistor?
Each transistor is rated for 200 mW continuous dissipation at Tamb ≤ 25 °C on FR4 PCB (single-sided copper, tin-plated). The total device limit is 300 mW - meaning simultaneous full-load operation of both transistors requires thermal derating below 25 °C ambient or enhanced PCB copper area.
How are the NPN and PNP transistors identified in the pinout?
TR1 (NPN) uses pins 1 (E1), 2 (B1), and 6 (C1); TR2 (PNP) uses pins 3 (C2), 4 (E2), and 5 (B2). This arrangement places complementary terminals adjacent (e.g., E1 and E2 on pins 1 and 4), enabling compact routing in push-pull layouts without cross-layer vias.
Can BC847BVN replace two separate BC847B transistors?
Yes - but only in applications where layout symmetry, thermal coupling, and footprint reduction are beneficial. Pinout differs (SOT23 vs. SOT666), so direct PCB replacement requires redesign. Electrical parameters match closely, but hFE distribution and thermal interaction differ due to monolithic integration.
