Product details
Overview
BC847PNQ-7-F from Diodes Incorporated is a complementary NPN/PNP small-signal transistor pair in a single SOT363 package, rated for 45 V VCEO, 100 mA IC, and 200 mW power dissipation. It features AEC-Q101 qualification, IATF 16949 manufacturing, and is optimized for automotive signal switching and medium-gain amplification in space-constrained PCBs.
For engineers reviewing the BC847PNQ-7-F datasheet, BC847PNQ-7-F pinout, BC847PNQ-7-F application, or BC847PNQ-7-F equivalent, this dual BJT offers verified complementary gain matching (hFE = 200–450 for NPN, 220–475 for PNP), low VCE(sat) (≤250 mV at 10 mA), and automotive-grade reliability under -65°C to +150°C operation.
Technical Context
This device integrates two electrically isolated transistors - BC847B (NPN) and BC857B (PNP) - sharing no internal connection, enabling independent biasing and complementary push-pull or differential configurations. Its matched hFE spread and symmetrical breakdown ratings (±45 V VCEO, ±50 V VCBO) support balanced analog and digital interface designs.
The SOT363 package enables high-density routing with six terminals: C1/B1/E1 for Q1 (NPN) and C2/B2/E2 for Q2 (PNP). Thermal resistance of 625°C/W (RθJA) reflects performance on minimal 1 oz copper FR-4, making it suitable for thermally constrained automotive modules.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCEO | ±45 V - Supports rail-to-rail switching across 3.3 V, 5 V, and 12 V automotive logic and sensor interfaces. |
| IC | ±100 mA - Handles moderate load drive for LED indicators, relay drivers, and level-shifting circuits. |
| hFE | 200–450 (NPN), 220–475 (PNP) - Enables stable DC biasing and predictable current amplification in amplifier stages. |
| VCE(sat) | ≤250 mV @ 10 mA - Minimizes conduction loss and self-heating in saturated-switch applications. |
| fT | 100–300 MHz (NPN), 100–200 MHz (PNP) - Supports audio-frequency amplification and fast digital edge handling up to ~50 MHz. |
| PD | 200 mW - Limits thermal derating requirements in compact automotive control units without forced cooling. |

Package: SOT363 - ultra-small surface-mount plastic package (2.15 mm × 2.10 mm × 0.95 mm), halogen/antimony-free, matte tin terminations, moisture sensitivity level 1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| C1 | Collector of Q1 (NPN) | Primary output node for NPN transistor; connects to load or pull-up in common-emitter switching. |
| B1 | Base of Q1 (NPN) | Current-controlled input for NPN; requires series resistor to limit base drive in saturation. |
| E1 | Emitter of Q1 (NPN) | Reference terminal for NPN; typically grounded or tied to bias network in amplifier topologies. |
| C2 | Collector of Q2 (PNP) | Output node for PNP transistor; used in high-side switching or complementary output stages. |
| B2 | Base of Q2 (PNP) | Inverted-control input for PNP; driven low relative to emitter to enable conduction. |
| E2 | Emitter of Q2 (PNP) | Reference terminal for PNP; often connected to positive supply in source-follower or driver configurations. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualified | Validated for automotive use per stress-test requirements including HTOL, TC, HTRB, and ESD (HBM ≥2 kV). |
| Complementary pair in one package | Eliminates inter-device parameter mismatch and layout skew between NPN and PNP in push-pull or differential pairs. |
| Ultra-small SOT363 footprint | Reduces board area by >40% vs. discrete SOT23 devices; supports high-density ECUs and ADAS sensor modules. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar complementary BJT pair applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BC847BPN,115 (Nexperia) | Same SOT363 package, identical pinout, but hFE min = 200 (NPN) / 125 (PNP); lower PNP gain consistency. | Less suitable for precision differential amplifiers where PNP/NPN gain symmetry is critical. | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs need for tight hFE matching in non-critical switching roles. |
| MBT3904DW1T1G (onsemi) | Higher VCEO (60 V), higher fT (300 MHz), but not AEC-Q101 qualified; different pinout (C-B-E / C-B-E vs. C-B-E / E-B-C). | Not recommended for automotive production; better suited for industrial test equipment requiring extended voltage margin. | Choose only for non-automotive designs needing higher speed or voltage headroom, with layout revision for pinout change. |
Compared with BC847BPN and MBT3904DW1T1G, BC847PNQ-7-F uniquely delivers AEC-Q101 certification, matched high-gain PNP/NPN characteristics, and automotive-compliant packaging - making it the sole choice for production-tier automotive signal conditioning where qualification and parametric symmetry are mandatory.

FAQ
Is BC847PNQ-7-F pin-compatible with BC847BPN?
Yes - both use identical SOT363 pinout: Pin 1 = C1, Pin 2 = B1, Pin 3 = E1, Pin 4 = E2, Pin 5 = B2, Pin 6 = C2. However, BC847PNQ-7-F guarantees tighter hFE matching between NPN and PNP sections and full AEC-Q101 qualification, whereas BC847BPN lacks formal automotive qualification and has looser PNP hFE min specification.
What is the maximum junction temperature during continuous operation?
The BC847PNQ-7-F has an absolute maximum junction temperature of +150°C and operates continuously within -65°C to +150°C ambient. At 200 mW power dissipation on a standard 1 oz copper PCB, junction temperature rise is approximately 125°C above ambient, meaning sustained operation is limited to ≤25°C ambient unless thermal relief (e.g., copper pour, airflow) is added.
Can BC847PNQ-7-F replace discrete BC847B and BC857B transistors?
Yes - it replaces one BC847B (SOT23) and one BC857B (SOT23) with identical electrical specs and fully isolated dies. Layout savings exceed 50% board area, and the integrated structure eliminates inter-device thermal and gain drift. No circuit redesign is needed beyond adapting pad layout to SOT363 dimensions and verifying trace widths for 100 mA current paths.
Does BC847PNQ-7-F support Pb-free reflow soldering per J-STD-020?
Yes - it is rated Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 per J-STD-020, with matte tin terminations compatible with standard SnPb and lead-free reflow profiles (peak 260°C). The "Green" molding compound meets UL 94V-0 flammability and passes solderability testing per MIL-STD-202, Method 208, ensuring reliable joint formation without voiding or dewetting.
