Product details

Overview

BC847C-B5000 from Nexperia is an NPN general-purpose bipolar junction transistor (BJT) in SOT-23 package, with DC current gain (h_FE) of 420–800 at I_C = 10 mA and V_CE = 5 V, maximum collector-emitter voltage V_CEO = 45 V, and continuous collector current I_C = 100 mA. It is used in low-power switching and amplification circuits in consumer electronics power management.

For engineers reviewing the BC847C-B5000 datasheet, BC847C-B5000 pinout, BC847C-B5000 application, or BC847C-B5000 equivalent, key selection factors include h_FE range consistency, SOT-23 thermal performance, V_CEO margin for 3.3 V/5 V rail interfaces, and saturation voltage at 10 mA drive.

Technical Context

This BJT operates in active and saturation regions for signal amplification and digital switching. Its h_FE binning (B = 110–220, C = 190–450, D = 330–680, E = 420–800) ensures predictable gain matching in multi-transistor bias networks. The device supports base-emitter reverse voltage up to –5 V and exhibits typical V_CE(sat) of 0.07 V at I_C = 10 mA and I_B = 0.5 mA.

Designed for surface-mount assembly, it complies with AEC-Q101 stress testing for automotive-grade reliability and features a Pb-free, RoHS-compliant finish. Junction-to-ambient thermal resistance R_θJA is 300 K/W in standard PCB layout per JEDEC JESD51-3.

Key Specifications

Parameter	Value and Actual Design Meaning
V_CEO	45 V - Supports operation across 3.3 V, 5 V, and 12 V logic rails with safety margin.
I_C (max)	100 mA - Suitable for driving LEDs, small relays, and logic-level interface buffers.
h_FE @ 10 mA / 5 V	420–800 - Enables stable biasing in emitter-follower and common-emitter amplifier stages.
V_CE(sat) @ 10 mA / 0.5 mA	0.07 V - Minimizes conduction loss in low-side switch configurations.
P_D (T_amb = 25°C)	250 mW - Limits usable power in ambient-air convection without heatsinking.
f_T	100 MHz - Allows use in audio-frequency amplification and low-speed digital signal conditioning.

Equivalent & Alternatives

The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar NPN switching and amplification applications.

Alternative Part	Technical Difference	Application Difference	Selection Advice
BC847C,215 (Nexperia)	Same die, identical h_FE bin, but packaged in tape-and-reel with different reel coding.	No functional difference; same PCB footprint and electrical behavior.	Select when requiring standard reel packaging for automated SMT placement.
MMBT3904LT1G (ON Semiconductor)	h_FE = 100–300 at 10 mA; lower gain range and no AEC-Q101 rating.	Suitable for commercial-grade consumer products only; not rated for automotive thermal cycling.	Choose for cost-sensitive non-automotive designs where gain tolerance >200 is acceptable.

Compared with BC847C-B5000, BC847C,215 offers identical performance in alternate packaging, while MMBT3904LT1G trades guaranteed high h_FE and automotive qualification for lower unit cost in non-critical environments.

FAQ

What is the maximum operating temperature for BC847C-B5000?

The BC847C-B5000 has a maximum junction temperature of +150°C and is qualified to AEC-Q101 for operation from −40°C to +150°C ambient. Derating is required above 25°C ambient per its 300 K/W thermal resistance; full 100 mA current is only sustainable below 75°C ambient with standard PCB copper area.

Is BC847C-B5000 pin-compatible with BC847B variants?

Yes - all BC847x variants (A, B, C, D, E) share identical SOT-23 pinout (E-B-C), package dimensions, and thermal characteristics. Only h_FE bin ranges differ: B = 110–220, C = 190–450, and B5000-marked C = 420–800. No PCB redesign is needed when upgrading gain bins.

Does BC847C-B5000 support 5 V logic-level drive?

Yes - with I_B ≥ 0.5 mA, the device saturates fully at V_CE ≤ 0.07 V when driven from a 5 V source through a 4.7 kΩ base resistor. This meets TTL and CMOS logic output capability and ensures reliable low-side switching in 5 V systems.

How does the B5000 marking relate to h_FE binning?

The "B5000" top-side marking indicates a C-grade BC847 with extended h_FE binning: 420–800 at I_C = 10 mA and V_CE = 5 V. Standard C-grade parts are 190–450; B5000 denotes tighter, higher-gain sorting for precision biasing applications.
