BC847BS-QF

Overview

The BC847BS-QF is a dual NPN general-purpose transistor manufactured by Nexperia, designed for surface-mount applications. It features a SOT363 (SC-88) package with six pins and operates within a temperature range of -55°C to +150°C. Key electrical parameters include a maximum collector-emitter voltage (VCEO) of 45 V, a collector-base voltage (VCBO) of 50 V, and an emitter-base voltage (VEBO) of 6 V. The device supports a continuous DC collector current (IC) of 100 mA and a total power dissipation (Pd) of 300 mW. It meets the AEC-Q101 automotive qualification standard and offers a minimum DC current gain (hFE) of 200 at IC = 2 mA.

Feature Summary

• Automotive-grade reliability compliant with AEC-Q101 standards
• Dual NPN configuration in a compact SOT363 package
• Low collector capacitance for high-speed switching
• Closely matched current gain between transistors

Applications

• General-purpose switching and amplification in automotive electronics
• Replacement for discrete components to reduce board space
• Signal processing circuits requiring matched transistor pairs

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'QF' against official Nexperia documentation to confirm tape-and-reel specifications and packaging details. Ensure the component meets AEC-Q101 requirements for your target application. Cross-reference the part number with authorized distributors to confirm availability and authenticity before procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual NPN transistor with automotive qualification is required in a small footprint. Compare hFE ranges and power dissipation limits against circuit requirements. Consider the SOT363 package dimensions for PCB layout constraints. Verify compatibility with existing PNP complements like the BC857BS series if complementary pairs are needed.

Part Context

The BC847BS-QF belongs to the BC847 family of general-purpose NPN transistors. It shares core electrical characteristics with the BC847BS but includes the '-Q' suffix indicating automotive qualification under AEC-Q101. The 'F' suffix typically denotes specific packaging or reel configurations. This part serves as a compact solution for replacing two individual SC-75 or SC-89 packaged transistors.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements include the BC847BS (non-automotive grade) for non-critical applications. For automotive use, verify equivalent parts from other manufacturers that meet AEC-Q101 standards. Check pinout compatibility with the SOT363 package to ensure seamless integration without PCB redesign.
