BC846BQBZ

Overview

The BC846BQBZ is a 65 V, 100 mA NPN general-purpose transistor manufactured by Nexperia. It utilizes an ultra-small DFN1110D-3 (SOT8015) leadless Surface-Mounted Device plastic package featuring side-wettable flanks. The device is designed for high power dissipation and offers a low package height of 0.5 mm. Its small footprint makes it suitable for space-restricted applications requiring Automatic Optical Inspection compatibility.

Feature Summary

• Ultra-small DFN1110D-3 leadless surface-mount package with side-wettable flanks
• Low profile design with 0.5 mm package height
• High power dissipation capability
• Suitable for Automatic Optical Inspection of solder joints

Applications

• General-purpose switching and amplification
• Space-restricted electronic applications

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'Z' against official Nexperia documentation to confirm if it denotes a standard tape-and-reel packaging format or a specific variant within the BQB series. Ensure the component matches the DFN1110D-3 physical dimensions and side-wettable flank specifications required for your assembly process.

Selection Notes

Select this component when board real estate is limited and a leadless package is preferred over traditional SOT-23 forms. The side-wettable flanks facilitate superior solder joint visibility for AOI systems. Confirm that the 65V collector-emitter voltage rating meets the circuit requirements.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Nexperia BC846BQB family of 65 V NPN general-purpose transistors. It serves as the NPN complement to the BC856BQB PNP transistor. Both devices share the same compact DFN1110D-3 package architecture, enabling matched performance in dual-transistor configurations.

Replacement Considerations

The BC846BQ is the standard leaded/standard SMD counterpart. For pin-compatible replacements in the same package, consider other manufacturers offering DFN1110D-3 NPN transistors with equivalent 65V and 100mA ratings.
