Product details
Overview
BC847RAPNZ from Nexperia is an AEC-Q101-qualified NPN/PNP general-purpose double transistor in a DFN1412-6 (SOT1268) package, rated for 45 V VCEO, 100 mA IC, and DC current gain (hFE) of 200–450 at 2 mA/5 V. It integrates complementary transistor pairs on a single ultra-thin (0.47 mm height) die for space-constrained mobile and automotive signal switching.
For engineers reviewing the BC847RAPNZ datasheet, BC847RAPNZ pinout, BC847RAPNZ application, or BC847RAPNZ equivalent, this device supports dual-polarity biasing, low-profile board assembly, and automotive-grade reliability verification - critical for compact power management and level-shifting circuits where footprint and qualification matter.
Technical Context
This dual-transistor device contains one NPN and one PNP silicon epitaxial planar transistor sharing a common thermal substrate. Each transistor operates independently with separate emitter, base, and collector terminals, enabling push-pull, complementary switching, or differential pair configurations without inter-device coupling.
It features matched hFE spread across temperature (−55 °C to +150 °C), low VCE(sat) ≤ 300 mV at 100 mA/5 mA drive, and 4 pF collector capacitance - supporting stable small-signal amplification and fast edge-controlled switching up to 100 MHz fT.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCEO | 45 V - Maximum safe collector-emitter voltage per transistor under open-base conditions; defines voltage headroom for 24 V automotive and 3.3/5 V logic-level interfaces. |
| IC | 100 mA - Continuous collector current rating; supports moderate-load switching (e.g., LED drivers, relay coils, sensor buffers). |
| hFE | 200–450 - DC current gain at VCE = 5 V, IC = 2 mA; enables predictable base drive sizing for linear or saturated operation. |
| VCE(sat) | ≤ 300 mV - Collector-emitter saturation voltage at IC = 100 mA, IB = 5 mA; minimizes conduction loss in high-efficiency switching nodes. |
| Rth(j-a) | 261 K/W - Junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (per device on FR4 PCB); determines maximum power dissipation (480 mW) before thermal derating. |
| fT | 100 MHz - Transition frequency at VCE = 5 V, IC = 10 mA; supports RF-coupled pre-amplifier and high-speed digital interface stages. |
Pinout & Package
DFN1412-6 (SOT1268) is a leadless, thermally enhanced ultra-thin plastic package measuring 1.4 mm × 1.2 mm × 0.47 mm, optimized for automated placement and high-density PCB layouts. Its exposed thermal pad improves heat transfer to the board.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Emitter of TR1 (NPN) | Low-impedance current sink node for first transistor; connects directly to ground or load return path. |
| 2 | Base of TR1 (NPN) | Control input for NPN switch/amplifier; requires ~0.7 V forward bias and current-limited drive. |
| 3 | Collector of TR2 (PNP) | Current source output for second transistor; polarity inverted relative to TR1; used in complementary output stages. |
| 4 | Emitter of TR2 (PNP) | High-side reference node for PNP; typically tied to VCC in high-side switch or level shifter topologies. |
| 5 | Base of TR2 (PNP) | Inverted control input; active-low drive required; base resistor must limit reverse leakage during off-state. |
| 6 | Collector of TR1 (NPN) | Main output node for NPN transistor; connects to load or next-stage input; supports pull-down or sink functions. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualification | Validated for automotive applications including engine control modules and body electronics, with extended temperature and stress testing compliance. |
| Ultra-low profile (0.47 mm height) | Enables use in slim handheld devices and stacked PCB assemblies where Z-axis clearance is constrained below 0.5 mm. |
| Dual NPN/PNP topology | Reduces bill-of-materials count by replacing two discrete transistors; eliminates matching variance between separate packages. |
| Thermal-enhanced DFN package | 261 K/W junction-to-ambient resistance allows 480 mW total device power dissipation on standard FR4, improving thermal margin over SOIC alternatives. |
Applications
| Automotive Door Module Control | Smartphone Power Sequencing |
|---|---|

Use Scenario: Enabling/disabling PMIC rails and peripheral voltage domains during boot, sleep, and wake transitions. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Functions as a precision-controlled dual-level shifter and enable gate for LDOs and buck converters. Use Value: Low VCE(sat) and tight hFE tolerance minimize sequencing delay and ensure rail activation within ±10 µs timing budget. |
| USB-C Port Protection Circuit | Industrial Sensor Signal Conditioning |
|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-transistor switching applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BC847BPN | Same package and pinout; hFE range 200–450 but not AEC-Q101 qualified. | Limited to consumer or industrial non-automotive use; lacks automotive stress test validation. | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs automotive qualification requirements. |
| MBT3904DW1T1G | SO-8 package (larger footprint); NPN/NPN pair instead of NPN/PNP; VCEO = 40 V; hFE = 100–300. | Requires redesign for dual-NPN topology; unsuitable for complementary switching without external inversion. | Choose only if legacy SO-8 layout reuse is mandatory and NPN-only function suffices. |
Compared with BC847BPN, BC847RAPNZ adds automotive qualification without sacrificing gain or size; compared with MBT3904DW1T1G, it delivers true complementary operation in half the footprint and higher voltage tolerance - making it optimal for new automotive and space-constrained designs requiring bipolar symmetry.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature for BC847RAPNZ?
The BC847RAPNZ has a maximum junction temperature (Tj) of 150 °C and an ambient operating range of −55 °C to +150 °C. Its thermal resistance (Rth(j-a)) is 261 K/W on FR4 PCB, allowing full 480 mW power dissipation only at Tamb ≤ 25 °C; derating applies above that point per Figure 1 in the datasheet.
Can BC847RAPNZ replace two separate SOT23 transistors in a design?
Yes - BC847RAPNZ integrates one NPN and one PNP transistor in a single DFN1412-6 package with verified pin compatibility for complementary switching. It reduces PCB area by ~65% versus dual-SOT23 placement and eliminates inter-device parameter mismatch, though layout must accommodate its 6-pin symmetric footprint and thermal pad soldering.
Is the marking code 'A4' unique to BC847RAPNZ?
Yes - per Table 4 of the Nexperia datasheet, 'A4' is the official top-side laser marking for BC847RAPNZ. This code distinguishes it from variants like BC847BPN (marked 'A3') and confirms AEC-Q101 qualification and DFN1412-6 packaging upon visual inspection.
Does BC847RAPNZ support pulsed operation beyond its DC ratings?
Yes - the device supports peak collector current (ICM) of 200 mA for single pulses ≤1 ms, and peak base current (IBM) of 100 mA under same conditions. These values are defined in Table 5 and allow short-duration surge handling in motor commutation or ESD clamp circuits without thermal runaway.
