BC847BPN/ZLF

Overview

The BC847BPN/ZLF is a dual bipolar junction transistor (BJT) manufactured by Nexperia, housed in a UMT (SOT-363/SC-88) surface-mount package with six pins. It integrates one NPN and one PNP transistor within a single compact plastic casing. Key electrical parameters include a maximum collector-emitter voltage (VCEO) of 45 V and a collector-base voltage (VCBO) of 50 V. The device supports a maximum DC collector current (Idc) of 100 mA and features a minimum DC current gain (hFE) of 200 at 2 mA and 5 V. Total power dissipation is rated at 200 mW, with an operating temperature range from -65°C to +150°C.

Feature Summary

• Integrates complementary NPN and PNP transistors in a single ultra-small SMD package to reduce board space.

Applications

• General-purpose switching circuits
• Amplification applications

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix /ZLF against official Nexperia documentation to confirm lead-free status and RoHS compliance details. Ensure the ordering part number matches the required tape-and-reel or cut-tape packaging format for your assembly line. Cross-reference the manufacturer's latest datasheet to confirm availability and any potential obsolescence notices before finalizing procurement plans.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a matched NPN/PNP pair is required in a minimal footprint. The 45 V rating suits low-voltage logic interfaces. Verify that the 200 mW power dissipation limit accommodates the thermal constraints of the target PCB layout. Confirm that the hFE selection group meets the circuit's gain requirements.

Part Context

This part belongs to the BC847 series of general-purpose small-signal transistors. The 'PN' designation indicates the complementary NPN/PNP configuration, distinguishing it from single-transistor variants like the BC847B or dual-NPN types like the BC847BS. It serves as a compact alternative to discrete transistor pairs in portable electronics.

Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-compatible substitutes include the BC847BPN,115 and BC847BPN,165 from Nexperia. Other manufacturers may offer equivalent SC-88 packaged NPN/PNP pairs, but electrical characteristics such as hFE ranges and saturation voltages must be verified against the original specification sheet.
