BC847-QVL

Overview

The BC847-QVL is an NPN general-purpose bipolar junction transistor manufactured by Nexperia. It features a maximum collector-emitter voltage of 45 V and a continuous collector current of 100 mA, with a peak rating of 200 mA. The device operates within a power dissipation limit of 250 mW and offers a gain-bandwidth product of 100 MHz. It supports a wide temperature range from -65°C to +150°C and complies with AEC-Q101 automotive qualification standards. Packaged in the SMD TO-236AB (SOT23) format, it provides DC current gains ranging from 110 to 800 at specified test conditions.

Feature Summary

• Automotive-grade reliability certified under AEC-Q101 standards for robust performance in demanding environments
• General-purpose switching and amplification capabilities optimized for surface-mount applications
• Wide operating temperature range supporting extreme thermal conditions from -65°C to +150°C

Applications

• General-purpose signal switching circuits
• Amplifier stages in consumer electronics
• Automotive electronic control modules
• Interface logic level shifting

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'QVL' against official Nexperia documentation to confirm the exact gain binning and packaging configuration. Ensure that the AEC-Q101 qualification status aligns with your project's automotive reliability requirements. Cross-reference the TO-236AB package dimensions with your PCB footprint specifications to guarantee mechanical compatibility during assembly.

Selection Notes

Select this component when designing circuits requiring NPN switching or amplification with automotive-grade durability. Consider the 45 V voltage rating and 100 mA current capacity for low-power signal processing tasks. Evaluate the 100 MHz bandwidth suitability for high-speed digital interfaces. Confirm that the TO-236AB package fits within the available board space constraints.

Part Context

This part belongs to the BC847 series of NPN general-purpose transistors from Nexperia. It shares the same physical package and basic electrical characteristics as other variants like BC847A, BC847B, and BC847C, which differ primarily in their DC current gain selection groups. The Q-series designation indicates compliance with automotive quality standards, distinguishing it from standard commercial grade counterparts.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include BC847A, BC847B, and BC847C if automotive qualification is not required. For equivalent automotive-grade parts, verify BC847-QR or BC847-QS suffixes. Ensure gain binning matches the original design requirements when swapping between different BC847 selection groups.
