BC846AQB-QZ

Overview

The BC846AQB-QZ is an NPN general-purpose transistor manufactured by Nexperia. It utilizes a DFN1110D-3 (SOT8015) leadless surface-mounted device plastic package with side-wettable flanks. The component features a maximum collector current of 100 mA and a collector-emitter voltage rating of 65 V. Key electrical specifications include a collector-base voltage of 80 V, an emitter-base voltage of 6 V, and a power dissipation capability of 250 mW. The device operates within a temperature range of -65 °C to +150 °C.

Feature Summary

• High power dissipation capability suitable for dense circuit designs
• Suitable for Automatic Optical Inspection (AOI) of solder joints due to side-wettable flanks
• Smaller footprint compared to conventional leaded SMD packages

Applications

• General-purpose switching and amplification
• Space restricted applications

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix QZ against official Nexperia documentation to confirm exact tape-and-reel packaging details and lot traceability requirements. Ensure the procurement channel provides valid RoHS compliance certificates and material declarations consistent with the manufacturer's standards for this specific leadless package variant.

Selection Notes

Select this component when space constraints require a smaller footprint than standard SOT23 packages while maintaining high power dissipation capabilities. The side-wettable flank design facilitates reliable AOI inspection, making it suitable for automated manufacturing environments requiring high visual quality control standards for solder joint verification.

Part Context

This part belongs to the BC846 series of NPN general-purpose transistors from Nexperia. It serves as the complement to the BC856AQB PNP transistor within the same DFN1110D-3 package family. The series is designed for low-voltage, low-current applications where compact size and thermal performance are critical design factors.
