Product details
Overview
BC847QAS from Nexperia is a dual NPN general-purpose transistor in a DFN1010B-6 (SOT1216) package, rated for 45 V VCEO, 200 mA IC, and DC current gain (hFE) of 200–450 at 2 mA collector current. It serves as a compact, AEC-Q101-qualified switching and amplification pair in space-constrained mobile and automotive signal paths.
For engineers reviewing the BC847QAS datasheet, BC847QAS pinout, BC847QAS application, or BC847QAS equivalent, this page delivers verified package mapping, validated dual-transistor terminal roles, thermal derating curves, saturation voltage behavior across temperature, and direct-fit automotive-grade alternatives - all grounded in the official 2018 Nexperia product data sheet.
Technical Context
The BC847QAS integrates two matched NPN transistors on a single die in an ultra-thin 1.05 mm × 1.05 mm DFN1010B-6 package with 0.37 mm height. Each transistor supports independent operation with isolated emitter, base, and collector terminals - Pin 1/E1 and Pin 6/C1 serve TR1; Pin 4/E2 and Pin 3/C2 serve TR2.
It operates under AEC-Q101 stress qualification, enabling use in automotive ambient ranges (−55 °C to +150 °C), and exhibits low thermal resistance (Rth(j-a) = 357 K/W per device on FR4 PCB), supporting stable biasing in thermally dense layouts without external heatsinking.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCEO | 45 V - Maximum safe collector-emitter voltage before breakdown; enables use in 3.3 V–24 V logic-level switching rails. |
| IC | 200 mA - Continuous collector current rating per transistor; supports driving small relays, LEDs, or logic buffers. |
| hFE | 200–450 @ VCE = 5 V, IC = 2 mA - High DC gain ensures low base drive current requirements in linear amplification stages. |
| VCE(sat) | ≤ 300 mV @ IC = 100 mA, IB = 5 mA - Low saturation voltage minimizes conduction loss and self-heating in high-duty-cycle switching. |
| fT | 100 MHz - Transition frequency confirms suitability for audio-frequency amplification and low-speed digital signal conditioning. |
| Rth(j-a) | 357 K/W (per device on FR4) - Thermal resistance defines junction-to-ambient rise under steady-state power dissipation (Ptot = 350 mW). |
Pinout & Package
DFN1010B-6 (SOT1216) is a leadless, thermally enhanced ultra-thin plastic package measuring 1.05 mm × 1.05 mm × 0.37 mm, optimized for automated placement and high-density PCB layouts in mobile and automotive modules.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Emitter of TR1 | Low-impedance current sink node for first transistor; connects directly to ground or load return path. |
| 2 | Base of TR1 | Control input for TR1; requires ~0.7 V forward bias and current-limited drive to avoid overdrive. |
| 3 | Collector of TR2 | High-side output node for second transistor; routed to supply rail or active load. |
| 4 | Emitter of TR2 | Current sink node for TR2; electrically isolated from E1 to support differential or cascaded configurations. |
| 5 | Base of TR2 | Independent control input for TR2; enables dual-gate logic functions or mirrored bias networks. |
| 6 | Collector of TR1 | Primary output node for TR1; used for common-emitter switching or amplifier output stage. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual NPN topology | Reduces board area by 40% vs. discrete dual-transistor solutions and eliminates inter-device parameter mismatch in matched-pair applications. |
| AEC-Q101 qualification | Validated for automotive under-hood and infotainment environments, including temperature cycling, humidity, and mechanical shock testing. |
| 0.37 mm package height | Enables integration into ultra-thin modules such as smartphone camera actuators or wearable sensor hubs where Z-axis clearance is ≤ 0.4 mm. |
| Thermal enhancement | Exposed thermal pad (Pin 7/8 tied to C1/C2) improves heat transfer to PCB copper, raising max continuous power by 52% over standard SOT363. |
Applications
| Automotive Door Module | Smartphone Camera Actuator Driver |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Driving dual solenoid latches and LED status indicators in door control units. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual NPN switch providing independent low-side drive for latch coils and indicator LEDs. Use Value: Single-package solution reduces BOM count by one IC and eliminates trace-length matching between paired transistors. | Use Scenario: Precision current sourcing for voice-coil motor (VCM) focus actuation in compact camera modules. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Linear amplifier stage controlling bidirectional coil current with matched gain and thermal tracking. Use Value: Matched hFE and VBE across TR1/TR2 enable symmetric push-pull drive without external trimming resistors. |
| USB-C Port Protection Logic | Industrial Sensor Signal Conditioning |
Use Scenario: Level-shifting and enable/disable control for USB-C CC line detection and VCONN power switching. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual NPN configured as level translator and load switch for 5 V/3.3 V interface bridging. Use Value: 45 V VCEO headroom prevents latch-up during hot-plug transients; low VCE(sat) ensures <10 mW conduction loss at 100 mA. | Use Scenario: Amplifying low-amplitude analog outputs from MEMS pressure sensors in HVAC controllers. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: First-stage preamplifier with DC-coupled input and adjustable gain via emitter degeneration. Use Value: 100 MHz fT and 200–450 hFE support stable 20 kHz bandwidth amplification with <0.5% THD at 1 VPP. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual NPN transistor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BC847BPDW1T3G | Same dual NPN function but in SOT-363 (SC-70-6); Rth(j-a) = 400 K/W; no AEC-Q101 qualification. | Non-automotive consumer electronics only; lacks thermal performance and reliability validation for automotive ambient. | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs thermal margin and automotive compliance requirements. |
| MBT3904DW1T1G | Higher VCEO (40 V), lower hFE (100–300), same SOT-363 footprint; not AEC-Q101 qualified. | Suitable for industrial logic interfacing but unsuitable for automotive signal chains requiring gain stability over −40 °C to +125 °C. | Choose only for legacy SOT-363 board reuse where gain tolerance > ±50% is acceptable. |
Compared with BC847BPDW1T3G and MBT3904DW1T1G, the BC847QAS delivers superior thermal performance (357 K/W), guaranteed automotive qualification, and tighter hFE spread - making it the sole option for new AEC-compliant designs requiring dual-transistor matching and minimal Z-height.

FAQ
Is BC847QAS pin-compatible with BC847BPDW1T3G?
No. BC847QAS uses DFN1010B-6 (SOT1216) with 6 terminals in a 1.05 mm × 1.05 mm layout and specific pin 1/E1, pin 6/C1, pin 3/C2, pin 4/E2 configuration. BC847BPDW1T3G uses SOT-363 (SC-70-6) with different pin numbering and 0.65 mm pitch - requiring PCB redesign and footprint change.
What is the maximum allowable power dissipation at 85 °C ambient?
At Tamb = 85 °C, the BC847QAS derates linearly from 350 mW at 25 °C using Rth(j-a) = 357 K/W. Junction temperature must stay ≤150 °C, so Ptot ≤ (150 − 85) / 357 ≈ 182 mW. This is confirmed by Figure 2 in the datasheet showing ~180 mW at 85 °C.
Does BC847QAS support complementary PNP pairing in the same package?
No. BC847QAS is NPN/NPN only. Its PNP/PNP complement is BC857QAS (same package), and its NPN/PNP complement is BC847QAPN (also DFN1010B-6). These are separate part numbers with distinct internal die structures and pinouts - not interchangeable within one footprint.
Can BC847QAS be reflow soldered using standard lead-free profiles?
Yes. Nexperia specifies compatibility with IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020D reflow profiles. The DFN1010B-6 package supports peak temperatures up to 260 °C for ≤ 30 seconds, with recommended solder land pattern shown in Figure 12 (sot1216_fr) and thermal pad grounding for optimal heat transfer.
