Product details
Overview
BC857SH6794XTSA1 from Nexperia is a dual PNP silicon small-signal transistor array in SOT363 (SC74) package, rated for VCEO = 45 V, IC = 100 mA, and hFE = 200–630 at IC = 2 mA. It features low VCE(sat) (max 300 mV at IC = 10 mA), matched gain between channels, and AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive driver stages.
For engineers reviewing the BC857SH6794XTSA1 datasheet, BC857SH6794XTSA1 pinout, BC857SH6794XTSA1 application, or BC857SH6794XTSA1 equivalent, key selection criteria include dual-channel PNP matching tolerance, thermal resistance (RthJS ≤ 140 K/W), junction temperature rating (Tj = 150 °C), and RoHS-compliant lead-free packaging.
Technical Context
This device integrates two galvanically isolated PNP transistors with tightly matched DC current gain (hFE) and saturation characteristics on a single die. Its design supports cascaded AF amplification and complementary driver configurations where channel-to-channel tracking reduces offset and improves linearity.
The SOT363 package enables compact dual-transistor implementation with shared thermal path and defined pinout (E1-B1-C2-E2-B2-C1). Electrical behavior is characterized across –65 °C to +150 °C, with validated performance up to TS = 118 °C for continuous operation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCEO | 45 V - Maximum collector-emitter voltage before breakdown under open-base condition; defines safe operating voltage headroom in linear amplifier stages. |
| IC | 100 mA - Continuous collector current rating; sets maximum load drive capability per channel without derating. |
| hFE | 200–630 - DC current gain range at IC = 2 mA, VCE = 5 V; enables predictable biasing and gain stability in discrete amplifier designs. |
| VCE(sat) | 300 mV max at IC = 10 mA, IB = 0.5 mA - Low saturation voltage ensures minimal power loss and heat generation in switching applications. |
| fT | 250 MHz - Transition frequency at IC = 20 mA, VCE = 5 V; supports audio-frequency amplification with margin into low RF bands. |
| RthJS | ≤140 K/W - Junction-to-soldering-point thermal resistance; determines required PCB copper area and heatsinking for thermal management. |
| Tj | 150 °C - Maximum allowable junction temperature; defines upper limit for ambient + self-heating in sealed enclosures. |
Pinout & Package
SOT363 (SC74) surface-mount package with 6-pin configuration, 0.65 mm pitch, and exposed thermal pad (not electrically connected). Dimensions: 2.1 mm × 2.0 mm × 0.95 mm (L × W × H).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (E1) | Emitter of Transistor 1 | Primary current sink node for first PNP; tied to local ground reference in common-emitter amplifier stage. |
| 2 (B1) | Base of Transistor 1 | Control input for first transistor; requires current-limited bias network to set operating point. |
| 3 (C2) | Collector of Transistor 2 | Active output node for second PNP; connects to load or next stage's input in push-pull or differential pair. |
| 4 (E2) | Emitter of Transistor 2 | Second emitter node; may be tied to E1 for parallel operation or kept independent for isolated functions. |
| 5 (B2) | Base of Transistor 2 | Independent control terminal enabling dual-gain-stage or complementary driver topologies. |
| 6 (C1) | Collector of Transistor 1 | Main output node for first transistor; routed to feedback network or load in AF preamp circuits. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual galvanically isolated PNP transistors | Enables independent biasing and signal routing for differential amplifiers or dual-stage drivers without cross-talk. |
| AEC-Q101 qualified | Validated for automotive under-hood applications including engine control modules and body electronics. |
| Matched hFE and VBE(sat) | Reduces gain mismatch to <±5% typical between channels, critical for balanced output stages and current mirrors. |
| Pb-free, RoHS-compliant | Meets EU Directive 2011/65/EU; compatible with lead-free reflow profiles (peak 260 °C). |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual PNP transistor array applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BC857B,115 (Nexperia) | Single PNP transistor in SOT23; no dual-channel integration or inter-device matching. | Requires two separate placements and external matching components for dual-stage use. | Select when board space permits discrete layout and tighter individual parameter control is needed. |
| MBT3906DW1T1G (onsemi) | Same SOT363 package but higher VCEO = 40 V (vs. 45 V), lower hFE min = 100, and non-AEC-Q101 rated. | Limited to industrial/commercial environments; not approved for automotive under-hood deployment. | Choose for cost-sensitive non-automotive applications where full AEC-Q101 compliance is not required. |
Compared with BC857B,115, BC857SH6794XTSA1 saves PCB area and improves channel matching; versus MBT3906DW1T1G, it delivers higher voltage margin and certified automotive reliability-critical for safety-critical driver stages.

FAQ
What is the pin 1 marking convention for BC857SH6794XTSA1 in tape-and-reel packaging?
Pin 1 is marked by a molded dot or notch on the package body adjacent to lead 1 (E1). Per SC74 specification, orientation in reel is not defined for symmetric types-board layout must verify pin 1 location using optical inspection or X-ray prior to assembly.
Does BC857SH6794XTSA1 support parallel connection of both transistors for higher current handling?
Yes-both transistors share identical electrical specs and thermal coupling in the same die. When paralleled (E1+E2, B1+B2, C1+C2), total IC capability reaches 200 mA with matched VCE(sat), provided external base resistors are individually trimmed to balance current sharing.
How does the thermal resistance RthJS = 140 K/W translate to practical PCB layout requirements?
At 100 mA IC and 300 mV VCE(sat), power dissipation is ~30 mW per channel. With RthJS = 140 K/W, junction rise is ~4.2 °C above solder point. A minimum 10 mm² copper pour under the thermal pad (with ≥4 vias to inner ground plane) maintains safe margins up to 85 °C ambient.
Is BC857SH6794XTSA1 suitable for linear regulator pass transistor applications?
No-its VCEO = 45 V and Ptot = 250 mW limit safe operation to low-dropout, low-current regulators (<50 mA load). For dedicated LDO pass elements, discrete transistors with higher VCEO, Ptot, and SOA ratings (e.g., ZTX951) are recommended.
