Product details
Overview
SBC847CWT3G from onsemi is an NPN silicon general-purpose transistor in SC-70 (SOT-323) package, rated for 45 V VCEO, 100 mA IC, and 200 mW power dissipation, with DC current gain (hFE) of 420–800 at IC = 2.0 mA, used in low-power amplification and switching circuits in consumer and industrial signal conditioning modules.
For engineers reviewing the SBC847CWT3G datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, thermal limits, AEC-Q101 qualification status, SC-70 package dimensions, and validated alternative transistors for discrete BJT selection in space-constrained PCB designs.
Technical Context
This device operates as a single NPN bipolar junction transistor optimized for linear amplification and saturated switching. Its hFE range (420–800) enables precise biasing in low-noise preamplifier stages, while VCE(sat) ≤ 0.25 V at IC = 10 mA / IB = 0.5 mA ensures minimal conduction loss in digital interface drivers.
Thermal resistance RJA = 620 °C/W on FR-5 board and TJ range of −55 °C to +150 °C support operation in automotive cabin modules and industrial sensor nodes. The SC-70 package's 1.25 mm × 2.1 mm footprint meets IPC-7351B standard for high-density surface-mount assembly.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCEO | 45 V - Maximum collector-emitter voltage before breakdown; defines safe operating voltage headroom in 24 V rail interfaces. |
| IC (max) | 100 mA - Continuous collector current limit; supports load switching up to ~50 mW in small-signal logic buffers. |
| hFE | 420–800 @ IC = 2.0 mA - High DC gain enables stable biasing with high-value base resistors, reducing PCB component count. |
| VCE(sat) | ≤ 0.25 V @ IC = 10 mA, IB = 0.5 mA - Low saturation voltage minimizes power loss in ON-state switching applications. |
| fT | 100 MHz - Unity-gain bandwidth allows use in audio-frequency amplifiers and low-speed digital signal conditioning up to ~10 MHz. |
| PD | 200 mW @ TA = 25 °C - Power dissipation limit constrains continuous operation to ambient temperatures ≤ 85 °C without heatsinking. |
| Cobo | 4.5 pF @ VCB = 10 V - Low output capacitance preserves signal integrity in high-impedance amplifier feedback networks. |
Pinout & Package
SC-70 (SOT-323) package: 1.25 mm × 2.1 mm × 0.95 mm body, 0.65 mm lead pitch, JEDEC MO-203-DA compliant, Pb-free and RoHS-compliant.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Base | Control electrode; requires current-limited drive (e.g., 10–100 kΩ series resistor) to achieve target hFE-based collector current. |
| 2 | Emiter | Reference node for bias network; connected to ground or common emitter point in CE amplifier configurations. |
| 3 | Collector | Output terminal; carries amplified/saturated load current; routed to VCC via pull-up resistor in switching mode. |
Key Features

| Low thermal resistance | RJA = 620 °C/W enables operation up to +85 °C ambient without derating when mounted on standard FR-5 PCB. |
| High hFE consistency | Guaranteed 420–800 range at IC = 2.0 mA reduces need for individual transistor binning in production assemblies. |
| Small outline package | SC-70 footprint saves >60% board area vs. SOT-23; compatible with automated pick-and-place equipment using 0.65 mm pitch nozzles. |
Applications
| Audio Pre-amplifier Stage | Microcontroller GPIO Driver |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Amplifying weak microphone signals (1–10 mV) before ADC sampling in portable voice recorders. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: NPN common-emitter amplifier with fixed bias network providing 20–40 dB voltage gain. Use Value: High hFE (420–800) enables stable gain with minimal base current draw, extending battery life in coin-cell-powered devices. |
Use Scenario: Driving LED indicators or small relays from 3.3 V microcontroller outputs with limited sink/source capability. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Saturated switch configured in common-emitter topology with base resistor limiting IB to 0.5 mA. Use Value: VCE(sat) ≤ 0.25 V ensures <10 mW power loss per channel, preventing thermal issues in multi-LED status panels. |
| Automotive Cabin Sensor Interface | Industrial Current Mirror Reference |
Use Scenario: Level-shifting and buffering analog sensor outputs (e.g., thermistor voltage dividers) in HVAC control modules. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Emitter-follower buffer isolating sensitive sensor circuitry from downstream ADC input impedance. Use Value: AEC-Q101 qualification guarantees reliability across −40 °C to +105 °C ambient, meeting automotive environmental requirements. |
Use Scenario: Building matched current sources in precision analog front-ends for pressure or flow transducers. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: One half of a discrete current mirror pair where hFE matching enables <5% current error over temperature. Use Value: Tight hFE distribution (420–800) and low Cobo (4.5 pF) minimize dynamic mismatch and settling time in closed-loop systems. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar NPN general-purpose transistor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BC847C,215 (Nexperia) | Same SC-70 package, identical VCEO = 45 V and hFE = 420–800, but RJA = 650 °C/W (slightly higher thermal resistance). | Valid for same amplifier/switch roles, but requires marginally lower ambient temperature or reduced duty cycle in thermally constrained layouts. | Select when sourcing from Nexperia's long-term supply program; verify thermal performance in final layout simulation. |
| MMBT4401LT1G (onsemi) | Higher VCEO = 40 V (vs. 45 V), same IC = 600 mA (but derated to 100 mA in SC-70), hFE = 100–300 - narrower, lower gain range. | Suitable for higher-current switching but less ideal for low-noise amplification due to lower and less consistent hFE. | Prefer for cost-sensitive high-volume switching where gain stability is secondary; avoid in precision analog gain stages. |
Compared with BC847C,215, SBC847CWT3G offers better thermal performance (RJA = 620 vs. 650 °C/W); versus MMBT4401LT1G, it delivers superior hFE consistency and noise figure for signal amplification, though both share SC-70 compatibility.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature for SBC847CWT3G?
The SBC847CWT3G has a junction temperature range of −55 °C to +150 °C and a storage temperature range of −55 °C to +150 °C. When mounted on an FR-5 board at 25 °C ambient, its thermal resistance is 620 °C/W, meaning it reaches thermal limit at approximately 85 °C ambient under full 200 mW dissipation. Derating is required above that ambient temperature.
Is SBC847CWT3G pin-compatible with other BC847 variants?
Yes, SBC847CWT3G uses the SC-70 (SOT-323) package with pin 1 = Base, pin 2 = Emitter, pin 3 = Collector - identical pinout to all BC846/BC847/BC848 variants in the same package. However, electrical differences exist: SBC847CWT3G has hFE = 420–800, while BC847A and BC847B offer lower gain ranges (110–220 and 200–450 respectively), requiring circuit validation if substituted.
Does SBC847CWT3G meet automotive qualification standards?
Yes, SBC847CWT3G is AEC-Q101 qualified and PPAP capable, as confirmed in the official onsemi datasheet. This certification covers stress tests including HTOL, temperature cycling, HAST, and mechanical shock, validating its suitability for automotive interior electronics such as climate control sensors and infotainment system interfaces.
What is the typical noise figure of SBC847CWT3G and where is it specified?
The SBC847CWT3G has a noise figure of 10 dB at IC = 0.2 mA, VCE = 5.0 V, RS = 2.0 kΩ, f = 1.0 kHz, and BW = 200 Hz, as stated in the "Electrical Characteristics" table on page 2 of the onsemi datasheet. This makes it suitable for low-frequency pre-amplifier stages where signal-to-noise ratio is critical.
How does the hFE variation affect bias design for SBC847CWT3G?
The SBC847CWT3G specifies hFE = 420–800 at IC = 2.0 mA and VCE = 5.0 V. To ensure stable DC operating point across unit-to-unit variation, bias networks should be designed using emitter degeneration (e.g., emitter resistor) and voltage-divider base bias - avoiding fixed-base-current topologies that would cause >2× collector current spread across the hFE range.
