BC847BSH-QX

Overview

The BC847BSH-QX is a dual NPN general-purpose transistor manufactured by Nexperia USA Inc. It features a maximum collector-emitter voltage (VCEO) of 45 V and a continuous collector current (IC) of 100 mA. The device utilizes the SOT363 surface-mount package, measuring 1.6 mm x 1.2 mm x 0.55 mm. Key electrical parameters include a collector-base voltage (VCBO) of 50 V, an emitter-base voltage (VEBO) of 5 V, and a total power dissipation (Pd) of 300 mW. The transition frequency (fT) is rated at 100 MHz, with a minimum DC current gain (hFE) of 200 at 2 mA and 5 V. It operates within a temperature range of -65°C to +150°C.

Feature Summary

• Automotive-grade reliability certified under AEC-Q101 standards for robust performance in demanding environments.
• Ultra-thin flat lead plastic package design ensures excellent coplanarity and reduced board space requirements.
• Dual NPN configuration allows replacement of two separate SC-75 or SC-89 packaged transistors.

Applications

• General-purpose switching circuits
• Amplification stages in consumer electronics
• Automotive electronic control modules

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'QX' against official Nexperia documentation to confirm packaging details and automotive qualification status. Ensure compatibility with AEC-Q101 requirements if used in automotive designs. Cross-reference datasheets for thermal resistance values and soldering profiles to prevent component damage during assembly processes.

Selection Notes

Select this component when dual NPN functionality is required in a minimal footprint. Compare hFE selection groups if specific gain ranges are necessary for circuit stability. Verify that the 45 V rating meets the system's voltage headroom requirements. Consider the SOT363 package constraints for PCB layout and thermal management strategies.

Part Context

This part belongs to the BC847 series of general-purpose NPN transistors. The 'BSH' designation indicates a dual configuration in the SOT363 package. The '-Q' suffix typically denotes automotive qualification, while 'X' often specifies tape and reel packaging. This series complements the BC857 PNP counterparts.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include BC847BS,115 and BC847BS,215 from Nexperia. Other manufacturers offer equivalent dual NPN transistors in SOT363 packages, such as the MMBT3904 dual variants, provided pinouts and electrical ratings match exactly.
