Product details
Overview
BC847QAPN from Nexperia is a dual NPN/PNP general-purpose transistor pair in a single DFN1010B-6 (SOT1216) package, rated for 45 V VCEO, 100 mA IC, and DC current gain (hFE) of 200–450 at 2 mA/5 V. It serves as a compact, AEC-Q101-qualified switching and amplification solution in space-constrained mobile and automotive signal paths.
For engineers reviewing the BC847QAPN datasheet, BC847QAPN pinout, BC847QAPN application, or BC847QAPN equivalent, this device is selected for dual-polarity discrete logic-level switching, complementary biasing networks, and low-height PCB designs requiring thermal efficiency and automotive qualification.
Technical Context
This dual-transistor device integrates one NPN (TR1) and one PNP (TR2) silicon planar transistor on a single die within a thermally enhanced ultra-thin DFN1010B-6 package. Each transistor operates independently with separate emitter, base, and collector terminals-no internal connection between TR1 and TR2.
It supports complementary switching topologies such as push-pull drivers and level shifters, with matched hFE spread (200–450), low VCE(sat) (≤300 mV at 100 mA/5 mA), and fT ≥100 MHz for both polarities under standard bias conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCEO | 45 V - Maximum safe collector-emitter voltage with open base; defines upper rail limit for switching applications. |
| IC | 100 mA - Continuous collector current per transistor; suitable for low-power logic interface and sensor driver loads. |
| hFE | 200–450 - DC current gain at VCE = 5 V, IC = 2 mA; enables predictable base drive sizing in linear and saturated operation. |
| VCE(sat) | ≤300 mV - At IC = 100 mA, IB = 5 mA; ensures low conduction loss in high-efficiency switching nodes. |
| fT | ≥100 MHz - Transition frequency at VCE = 5 V, IC = 10 mA; supports audio-frequency amplification and fast digital edge handling. |
| Ptot (per device) | 350 mW - Total power dissipation on FR4 PCB; sets thermal design boundary for ambient temperatures up to +150 °C. |
| AEC-Q101 | Qualified - Certified for automotive-grade reliability including temperature cycling, HTRB, and ESD robustness. |
Pinout & Package
Package: DFN1010B-6 (SOT1216), 1.05 mm × 1.05 mm × 0.37 mm, leadless, thermally enhanced, surface-mount plastic package with exposed thermal pad (not electrically connected).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Emitter of TR1 (NPN) | Low-impedance current sink node for NPN transistor; connects to ground or load return in common-emitter switches. |
| 2 | Base of TR1 (NPN) | Control input for NPN; requires ~0.7 V forward bias and sufficient IB to achieve target IC. |
| 3 | Collector of TR2 (PNP) | Current source node for PNP transistor; connects to positive rail in high-side switch configurations. |
| 4 | Emitter of TR2 (PNP) | High-impedance current source terminal; ties to VCC in emitter-follower or complementary output stages. |
| 5 | Base of TR2 (PNP) | Inverted control input for PNP; driven low to turn on; compatible with CMOS/TTL logic thresholds. |
| 6 | Collector of TR1 (NPN) | Primary output node for NPN; used for pull-down, sinking, or active-low signal generation. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual NPN/PNP topology | Enables complementary circuitry (e.g., push-pull, differential pairs) without inter-device matching tolerance or layout skew. |
| AEC-Q101 qualification | Validated for automotive under-hood and infotainment systems with guaranteed operation from −55 °C to +150 °C junction temperature. |
| Ultra-low profile (0.37 mm) | Reduces board stack height in slim mobile devices and wearable electronics where Z-axis clearance is constrained. |
| Thermal resistance Rth(j-a) = 357 K/W | Supports higher sustained power density vs. SOT23 equivalents when mounted on standard FR4 PCBs. |
| Matched hFE range (200–450) | Allows consistent gain-based biasing across both transistors, simplifying design of symmetrical amplifier or switch stages. |
Applications
| Automotive Door Module Control | Smartphone LED Backlight Driver |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-transistor switching applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BC846QAPN | Lower VCEO (65 V), same package and pinout; hFE range 110–220 at 2 mA. | Less margin for transient overvoltage in 24 V automotive systems; lower gain requires larger base drive. | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs voltage headroom and gain stability requirements. |
| MBT3904DW1T1G | SO-8 package (larger footprint); NPN-only dual; VCEO = 40 V; hFE = 100–300. | No PNP complement; incompatible pinout; unsuitable for space-constrained or bidirectional designs. | Choose only if legacy SO-8 layout reuse is mandatory and PNP functionality is implemented separately. |
Compared with BC847QAPN, BC846QAPN trades voltage margin and gain for cost, while MBT3904DW1T1G sacrifices size, polarity integration, and thermal performance for manufacturability in non-automotive contexts.

FAQ
Is BC847QAPN pin-compatible with BC847B or BC847C variants?
No. BC847QAPN uses a 6-pin DFN1010B-6 (SOT1216) package with dual-transistor pinout, whereas BC847B/C are single-transistor SOT23 devices with different pin assignments and no PNP complement. Physical and electrical incompatibility prevents direct substitution.
What is the maximum allowable PCB copper area for optimal thermal performance?
Per Nexperia's recommended footprint (Fig. 17), the thermal pad area should be 0.35 mm × 0.35 mm with six 0.2 mm solder paste openings. Total copper land plus paste occupied area is 1.35 mm × 0.9 mm. Exceeding this may cause solder bridging or reflow voiding without improving Rth(j-a).
Does BC847QAPN support pulsed operation beyond its 100 mA continuous rating?
Yes. The peak collector current (ICM) is rated at 200 mA for single pulses ≤1 ms. Derating applies per Fig. 2: at 100 °C ambient, maximum continuous power drops to ~120 mW, limiting sustainable pulsed duty cycle to <5% at full 200 mA.
Can TR1 and TR2 share a common base drive signal?
No. TR1 (NPN) and TR2 (PNP) have independent bases (pins 2 and 5) with opposite polarity control requirements. Driving them with the same signal would result in simultaneous conduction or shoot-through. Complementary logic (e.g., inverter or dual-output driver) is required for safe operation.
