BC846BPN,115

Overview

The BC846BPN,115 is a dual NPN/PNP general-purpose transistor manufactured by Nexperia. It utilizes the UMT (SOT363) surface-mount package with six pins. The device supports a maximum DC collector current of 100 mA and features a VCEO rating of 45 V and VCBO rating of 50 V. Power dissipation is rated at 200 mW. The transition frequency (fT) reaches 100 MHz. Operating temperatures range from -65°C to +150°C. The component includes internal isolation between transistors and meets RoHS standards.

Feature Summary

• Dual NPN and PNP transistors integrated in a single compact SMD package
• Internal electrical isolation between the two transistor elements
• General-purpose switching and amplification capability

Applications

• General-purpose switching circuits
• Signal amplification stages
• Low-current peripheral driver applications

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix against official Nexperia documentation to confirm pinout and gain class compatibility. Confirm package type matches design requirements. Check for AEC-Q101 qualification status if automotive use is intended. Ensure environmental compliance data aligns with project specifications.

Selection Notes

Select this component for designs requiring both NPN and PNP functions in limited PCB space. The UMT package offers a small footprint suitable for dense layouts. Verify that the 45 V voltage rating and 100 mA current limits meet circuit demands. Consider thermal management due to the 200 mW power dissipation limit in the small package.

Part Context

This part belongs to the BC846 series of general-purpose bipolar junction transistors. It provides a complementary NPN/PNP pair in a standard surface-mount format. The series is designed for low-voltage, low-power applications where space efficiency is critical. It serves as a common solution for logic interfacing and signal processing tasks.

Replacement Considerations

Check for direct pin-compatible alternatives within the same manufacturer family. Verify equivalent voltage and current ratings before substitution. Ensure gain bandwidth and package dimensions match the original design constraints.
