BC847BPNH-QX

Overview

The BC847BPNH-QX is a dual bipolar junction transistor (BJT) from Nexperia, featuring an NPN and PNP pair within a single SOT-363 (SC-88) surface-mount package. It operates with a maximum collector-emitter voltage of 45 V and a continuous collector current of 100 mA. The device is qualified to AEC-Q101 standards for automotive applications, ensuring reliability under harsh conditions. Key electrical parameters include a minimum DC current gain (hFE) of 200 at 2 mA and 5 V, a transition frequency (fT) of 100 MHz, and a total power dissipation of 200 mW. The unit supports a wide operating temperature range from -55°C to +150°C.

Feature Summary

• AEC-Q101 qualified for automotive electronics environments
• Compact SOT-363 package reduces board space requirements
• Integrated NPN/PNP configuration simplifies circuit design

Applications

• Automotive general-purpose switching circuits
• Signal amplification in vehicle control modules
• Battery management system interfaces

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'QX' against official Nexperia documentation to confirm packaging details such as reel size or tape width. Ensure the component meets the required AEC-Q101 grade specifications for your target application. Cross-reference the manufacturer part number with authorized distributors to confirm authenticity and traceability before procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a compact dual transistor solution is required for automotive-grade designs. The SOT-363 package offers a smaller footprint compared to discrete SC-75 or SC-89 packages. Consider the 45 V voltage rating and 100 mA current limit to ensure compatibility with low-power signal processing tasks in constrained spaces.

Part Context

This part belongs to the BC847 series of general-purpose transistors. The 'PN' designation indicates a complementary NPN/PNP pair, while the 'H' often denotes specific packaging or handling characteristics. The '-Q' suffix signifies automotive qualification. This series serves as a modern replacement for older through-hole or larger surface-mount dual transistor configurations.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements include BC847BPN variants with compatible packaging. Verify pinout compatibility between SOT-363 equivalents. For non-automotive applications, standard BC847BPN parts may suffice if AEC-Q101 qualification is not required.
