BC847BS-QX

Overview

The BC847BS-QX is an NPN/NPN general-purpose transistor pair manufactured by Nexperia. It is housed in a SOT363 (SC-88) surface-mount package with six pins. The device supports a maximum collector-emitter voltage of 45 V and a collector-base voltage of 50 V. The maximum DC collector current is rated at 100 mA per transistor, with a total power dissipation of 300 mW. It operates within a temperature range of -65°C to +150°C and meets AEC-Q101 automotive qualification standards.

Feature Summary

• Dual NPN configuration in a compact SMD package
• Automotive grade reliability via AEC-Q101 qualification
• Low collector capacitance for signal integrity
• Closely matched current gain characteristics

Applications

• General-purpose switching circuits
• Amplification stages in consumer electronics
• Signal processing in automotive modules

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'QX' against official Nexperia documentation to confirm tape-and-reel specifications and packaging details. Ensure the component meets required automotive quality standards if used in qualified designs. Cross-reference datasheet revisions to confirm parameter consistency before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when space-constrained dual NPN switching is required. The SOT363 package offers reduced board area compared to discrete single transistors. Verify that the 100 mA current rating and 45 V voltage limits align with circuit requirements. Consider thermal management for the 300 mW total dissipation limit in dense layouts.

Part Context

This part belongs to the BC847 series of general-purpose NPN transistors. The 'BS' designation indicates the dual NPN configuration in the SOT363 package. The 'Q' suffix typically denotes automotive qualification compliance. This series serves as a complement to the BC857 family of PNP transistors.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include BC847BS,115 or BC847BS,135 from Nexperia. Other manufacturers offering equivalent SOT363 dual NPN transistors may require verification of pinout compatibility and electrical parameter matching.
