BC847BPN/ZLX

Overview

The BC847BPN/ZLX is a dual NPN/PNP general-purpose transistor manufactured by Nexperia. It utilizes the SOT363 (UMT6) surface-mount package, measuring 2.2 mm in length and 1.1 mm in height. The device features a maximum DC collector current of 100 mA and a collector-emitter voltage (VCEO) of 45 V. Key electrical parameters include a collector-base voltage (VCBO) of 50 V, an emitter-base voltage (VEBO) of 5 V, and a minimum DC current gain (hFE) of 200 at 2 mA. The component supports a power dissipation of 200 mW, operates within a temperature range of -65°C to +150°C, and has a transition frequency (fT) of 100 MHz.

Feature Summary

• Integrates isolated NPN and PNP transistors into a single ultra-small footprint to reduce board space.
• Provides closely matched current gain characteristics between the complementary devices.
• Features low collector capacitance for improved high-frequency performance.

Applications

• General-purpose switching circuits
• Amplification stages in consumer electronics
• Signal processing applications requiring compact dual-transistor solutions

Procurement Notes

Verify the suffix /ZLX against official Nexperia documentation to confirm specific tape-and-reel packaging or regional distribution details. Ensure the ordering part number matches the required SOT363 package variant. Cross-reference with authorized distributors to confirm availability and lead times. Validate RoHS compliance status through the manufacturer's datasheet before procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a compact dual NPN/PNP configuration is required for signal processing or switching. The SOT363 package offers significant space savings compared to discrete SC-75 or SC-89 packages. Ensure the design accommodates the 200 mW power dissipation limit and the 45 V voltage rating. Verify that the hFE selection group meets the circuit's gain requirements.

Part Context

This part belongs to the BC847 series of general-purpose NPN transistors. The 'PN' designation indicates a dual NPN/PNP configuration within the UMT6/SOT363 package. It serves as a complement to the BC857BPN series. The ZLX suffix typically denotes specific packaging or logistics attributes defined by Nexperia for this product line.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements include the BC847BPN from other manufacturers with identical SOT363 pinouts and electrical specifications. Verify thermal resistance and saturation voltage characteristics if substituting in high-efficiency designs. Ensure the replacement part supports the same operating temperature range.
