Product details
Overview
BC847CTT1 from onsemi is an NPN silicon general-purpose transistor in SC-75/SOT-416 package, rated for 45 V VCEO, 100 mA IC, and 200 mW PD (min pad), with hFE = 420–800 at IC = 10 mA/VCE = 5 V. It serves as a low-power switching and amplification device in compact surface-mount signal paths, including sensor interface stages and logic-level translation circuits.
For engineers reviewing the BC847CTT1 datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include its guaranteed hFE range, thermal resistance of 600 °C/W (min pad), VCE(sat) ≤ 0.6 V at IC/IB = 20, and AEC-Q101 qualification status for automotive-grade reliability validation.
Technical Context
The BC847CTT1 operates as a discrete bipolar junction transistor with fixed NPN polarity, optimized for linear amplification and saturated switching in low-voltage, low-current analog and digital signal chains. Its electrical behavior is defined by DC current gain (hFE) spanning 420–800, fT = 100 MHz, and Cobo = 4.5 pF - enabling stable operation up to mid-VHF frequencies with minimal capacitive loading.
Thermal performance depends on PCB layout: RJA is 600 °C/W on FR-4 with minimum pad, but improves to 400 °C/W with 1.0 × 1.0 inch copper area. Junction temperature is rated from −55 °C to +150 °C, supporting industrial and under-hood automotive environments when derated per 1.6 mW/°C above 25 °C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCEO | 45 V - Maximum collector-emitter voltage before breakdown; sets safe operating range for 3.3 V/5 V rail-referenced switching. |
| IC (max) | 100 mA - Continuous collector current limit; supports load switching up to ~50 mA with 2× safety margin. |
| hFE | 420–800 @ IC = 10 mA, VCE = 5 V - High, tightly binned DC gain enables predictable biasing in amplifier stages. |
| VCE(sat) | ≤ 0.6 V @ IC = 100 mA, IB = 5 mA - Low saturation voltage minimizes power loss in switching applications. |
| fT | 100 MHz - Current-gain bandwidth product; supports small-signal amplification up to ~10–20 MHz with usable gain. |
| RJA | 600 °C/W (min pad) - Thermal resistance dictates required copper area for thermal management in space-constrained layouts. |
Pinout & Package
BC847CTT1 uses the SC-75/SOT-416 package (Case 463), measuring 1.60 × 0.80 × 0.80 mm with 1.00 mm pitch. The package is Pb-free and marked "1G".
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Base | Control terminal; requires current-limited drive (typically 0.1–5 mA) to bias transistor into active or saturation region. |
| 2 | Emitter | Current return path; connected to ground or low-side reference; forms common-emitter configuration with collector output. |
| 3 | Collector | Output terminal; sinks current from load; placed on high-side of load in low-side switch topology. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualified | Validated for automotive applications including engine control modules and body electronics requiring extended temperature and reliability compliance. |
| Pb-free packaging | Meets RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU; compatible with lead-free reflow profiles and avoids hazardous substance restrictions in global production. |
| High hFE bin (C grade) | Guaranteed 420–800 hFE ensures consistent gain across production lots, reducing need for post-manufacture trimming in analog designs. |
| Low VCE(sat) | ≤ 0.6 V at full rated current enables efficient switching in battery-powered devices where voltage headroom is constrained. |
Applications
| Industrial Sensor Interface | Automotive Body Control Module |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| BC847BTT1 | Lower hFE range (200–450), otherwise identical ratings and package. | Suitable where gain tolerance >200 is acceptable; less margin for aging or temperature drift in critical bias networks. | Select BC847BTT1 only if circuit gain stability analysis confirms adequate margin with lower hFE bin. |
| MMBT3904LT1G | Same SOT-23 package (not SC-75); hFE = 100–300; VCEO = 40 V; higher RJA (~700 °C/W). | Requires PCB footprint change; lower gain and voltage rating reduce design margin in precision or higher-voltage apps. | Use MMBT3904LT1G only when SOT-23 compatibility is mandatory and gain/voltage requirements are relaxed. |
Compared with BC847BTT1 and MMBT3904LT1G, the BC847CTT1 provides the highest guaranteed hFE and tightest binning among SC-75 NPN transistors in this family, making it optimal for gain-critical, space-constrained, and automotive-qualified designs where thermal efficiency and consistency are prioritized.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous collector current for BC847CTT1?
The BC847CTT1 has a maximum continuous collector current (IC) of 100 mA at TA = 25 °C. Derating is required above ambient temperature - power dissipation drops by 1.6 mW/°C on standard FR-4 with minimum pad, limiting usable current in elevated-temperature environments. Always verify thermal design margins using the 600 °C/W RJA value.
Is BC847CTT1 AEC-Q101 qualified?
Yes, BC847CTT1 is AEC-Q101 qualified and PPAP capable, as confirmed in the official onsemi datasheet (Rev. 4, November 2024). This qualification covers stress testing for temperature cycling, humidity, mechanical shock, and ESD - validating suitability for automotive body electronics and non-safety-critical powertrain functions.
What does the 'C' in BC847CTT1 indicate?
The 'C' in BC847CTT1 denotes the hFE gain bin: guaranteed 420–800 at IC = 10 mA and VCE = 5 V. This distinguishes it from BC847ATT1 (110–220) and BC847BTT1 (200–450). The 'TT1' suffix indicates tape-and-reel packaging in SC-75/SOT-416 format.
Can BC847CTT1 replace BC847BTT1 in an existing design?
Yes, BC847CTT1 is a direct functional upgrade to BC847BTT1 - same package, pinout, voltage/current ratings, and thermal specs - with higher and tighter hFE. No layout or schematic changes are needed. However, verify that increased gain does not cause unintended saturation or instability in feedback-sensitive circuits like oscillators or high-gain amplifiers.
What is the thermal resistance (RJA) of BC847CTT1 on a standard PCB?
BC847CTT1 has RJA = 600 °C/W when mounted on FR-4 with minimum pad area, and 400 °C/W with 1.0 × 1.0 inch copper pad. These values assume natural convection; forced airflow or internal layer copper planes further reduce thermal resistance. Always use the 600 °C/W figure for worst-case thermal design unless enhanced copper layout is implemented.
