BC846BHZGT116

Overview

The BC846BHZGT116 is an NPN silicon bipolar junction transistor manufactured by ROHM Semiconductor. It operates in a surface-mount SOT-23-3 package and meets AEC-Q101 automotive qualification standards. Key electrical parameters include a collector-emitter voltage (VCEO) of 65 V, a collector-base voltage (VCBO) of 80 V, and an emitter-base voltage (VEBO) of 6 V. The device supports a continuous collector current of 120 mA with a power dissipation rating of 350 mW. DC current gain (hFE) ranges from 200 to 450 at 2 mA and 5 V. Additional specifications feature a transition frequency (fT) of 300 MHz, a collector-emitter saturation voltage of 400 mV, and a maximum operating temperature of +150°C.
