Product details
Overview
BC847BWE6327 from Infineon Technologies is an NPN silicon general-purpose bipolar junction transistor (BJT) designed for audio-frequency input stages and driver circuits. It features a DC current gain (hFE) of 200–450 at IC = 2 mA, VCE = 5 V; VCEO = 45 V; VCE(sat) ≤ 250 mV at IC = 10 mA, IB = 0.5 mA; and low noise (F = 1.2–4 dB) in the 30 Hz–15 kHz band - enabling high-fidelity signal amplification in compact consumer audio interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the BC847BWE6327 datasheet, BC847BWE6327 pinout, BC847BWE6327 application, or BC847BWE6327 equivalent, key selection criteria include its SOT-323 (SC-70) package footprint, AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive-grade reliability, RoHS-compliant lead-free construction, and verified performance in low-voltage, medium-current switching and linear amplification roles.
Technical Context
This transistor operates as a discrete NPN amplifier/switch with fixed emitter-base and collector-base junctions optimized for stable hFE across temperature and bias. Its low VCE(sat) and high fT (250 MHz typical) support efficient small-signal amplification up to mid-VHF frequencies while maintaining low thermal resistance (RthJS ≤ 90 K/W for BC847BF variant).
The device uses planar epitaxial silicon technology with diffusion-defined junctions and is characterized over −65 °C to +150 °C storage and operation ranges. Its complementary PNP counterparts (e.g., BC857B) enable matched-pair designs in push-pull output stages and differential amplifiers.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCEO | 45 V - Maximum safe collector-emitter voltage before breakdown in common-emitter configuration; defines usable supply headroom in 5–24 V rail applications. |
| hFE (IC = 2 mA) | 200–450 - Confirmed DC current gain range for design margining in bias-stable amplifier stages without active feedback compensation. |
| VCE(sat) | ≤ 250 mV @ IC = 10 mA, IB = 0.5 mA - Ensures minimal conduction loss in low-side switch applications driving LEDs or logic inputs. |
| fT | 250 MHz typ. - Supports stable small-signal amplification up to ~100 MHz with predictable gain roll-off; sufficient for AF+RF front-end buffering. |
| Ccb | 0.95 pF - Low collector-base capacitance minimizes Miller effect in high-gain CE configurations, preserving bandwidth stability. |
| Thermal RthJS | ≤ 90 K/W - Enables reliable 250 mW power dissipation at board-level soldering point temperatures ≤ 128 °C without forced cooling. |
| Noise figure | 1.2–4 dB @ 1 kHz - Verified low-noise performance critical for microphone preamps and analog sensor signal conditioning paths. |
Pinout & Package
BC847BWE6327 is housed in a surface-mount SOT-323 (SC-70) plastic package with three terminals: emitter, base, and collector. The package measures 2.1 mm × 1.25 mm × 0.95 mm and supports reflow soldering per JEDEC J-STD-020.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (Emitter) | Current sink terminal | Connected to ground or low-impedance return path; polarity defines NPN operation and current flow direction. |
| 2 (Base) | Control input node | Receives bias current to modulate collector current; requires series resistor for stable DC operating point setting. |
| 3 (Collector) | Output current source | Delivers amplified or switched load current; connected to supply rail via load (e.g., resistor, LED, relay coil). |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualified | Validated for automotive electronics use including engine control modules and body electronics under temperature cycling and humidity stress. |
| RoHS-compliant, Pb-free | Meets EU Directive 2011/65/EU; eliminates lead in solderability layers and die attach, supporting green manufacturing requirements. |
| Low VCE(sat) | Guaranteed ≤ 250 mV enables >95% efficiency in 3.3 V logic-level switching applications without heat sinking. |
| High hFE consistency | Group B binning ensures tight 200–450 spread at IC = 2 mA, reducing need for individual circuit trimming in production. |
| Low-noise AF performance | Verified 1.2–4 dB noise figure between 30 Hz–15 kHz supports fidelity-critical audio preamplifier stages in portable devices. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar NPN general-purpose transistor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BC847BW,115 (Nexperia) | Identical SOT-323 package and hFE group B binning; same VCEO, VCE(sat), and fT; differs only in tape-and-reel packaging code. | No functional difference; validated in identical automotive and consumer designs per AEC-Q101 test reports. | Select when sourcing from Nexperia's distribution channels or requiring alternate logistics traceability. |
| MMBT3904LT1G (ON Semiconductor) | Higher VCEO (40 V vs. 45 V), lower hFE min (100 vs. 200), and higher VCE(sat) (300 mV max); otherwise matches pinout and package. | Suitable for non-critical switching but less ideal for low-noise AF amplification due to wider hFE spread and higher noise floor. | Prefer for cost-sensitive, non-audio applications where gain consistency and noise are secondary to availability. |
Compared with BC847BWE6327, BC847BW,115 offers identical electrical and thermal behavior with no design impact, while MMBT3904LT1G trades gain stability and noise performance for broader vendor availability and lower unit cost in non-precision roles.

FAQ
Is BC847BWE6327 pin-compatible with BC847B in SOT-23?
No - BC847BWE6327 uses SOT-323 (SC-70), while BC847B uses SOT-23. Though both have identical pin 1–2–3 emitter–base–collector assignments, their footprints differ: SOT-323 is smaller (2.1 × 1.25 mm) and incompatible with SOT-23 land patterns. PCB redesign is required for substitution.
What is the maximum continuous collector current for BC847BWE6327?
The absolute maximum continuous collector current is 100 mA at TA = 25 °C. Derating applies above 71 °C ambient: at 128 °C case temperature, maximum allowable IC drops to ~60 mA to maintain Ptot ≤ 250 mW and prevent thermal runaway.
Does BC847BWE6327 support pulsed operation beyond its DC ratings?
Yes - it supports peak collector currents up to 200 mA for pulse widths ≤ 10 ms (duty cycle ≤ 2%). Permissible pulse load curves confirm Ptot(max)/Ptot(DC) = 2.5× at tp = 1 ms, enabling brief surge handling in relay-driving or flash LED applications.
How does the BC847BWE6327 noise performance compare to BC849B?
BC847BWE6327 has a noise figure of 1.2–4 dB at 1 kHz, while BC849B (higher-voltage variant) specifies 1.2–4 dB only for BC849... and BC850... types - confirming equivalent low-noise capability. However, BC849B's lower VCEO (30 V) makes it unsuitable for 45 V applications where BC847BWE6327 is rated.
