BC847BSS-TP

Overview

The BC847BSS-TP is a dual NPN bipolar junction transistor (BJT) array manufactured by Micro Commercial Components. It utilizes silicon technology and is housed in an SOT-363S-6 surface-mount package. The device supports a maximum continuous collector current of 100 mA and offers a collector-emitter breakdown voltage (VCEO) of 45 V, with a collector-base voltage (VCBO) of 50 V and an emitter-base voltage (VEBO) of 6 V. Key electrical characteristics include a DC current gain (hFE) ranging from 200 to 450, a transition frequency (fT) of 100 MHz, and a power dissipation rating of 200 mW. The component operates within a temperature range of -55°C to +150°C.

Feature Summary

• Dual NPN configuration integrating two transistors in a single compact SOT-363S-6 package for space-efficient circuit design.
• High DC current gain performance with a minimum specification of 200, suitable for sensitive signal amplification applications.
• Robust thermal stability allowing operation across an extended junction temperature range from -55°C to +150°C.

Applications

• General-purpose signal amplification in low-power electronic circuits.
• Switching applications requiring high gain and fast response times.
• Compact consumer electronics where board space is limited.

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'S' in the part number BC847BSS-TP to ensure procurement of the correct SOT-363S variant rather than the standard SOT-363. Confirm RoHS compliance status through official manufacturer documentation prior to integration. Validate that the supplier provides genuine MCC components to avoid counterfeit risks associated with small-signal transistors.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual NPN configuration is required in a minimal footprint. The 100 mA current rating and 45 V voltage limits define its operational boundaries. Consider the 200 mW power dissipation limit for thermal management. Compare against the BC847BS-TP if a higher 300 mW power rating or 200 MHz transition frequency is necessary for the application.

Part Context

This part belongs to the BC847 series of small-signal NPN transistors produced by Micro Commercial Components. The BC847 family is widely used in general-purpose electronics. The BSS variant specifically denotes the dual configuration in the SOT-363S package, distinguishing it from single units like the BC847BW-TP or other dual variants like the BC847BS-TP.

Replacement Considerations

The BC847BS-TP is a related dual NPN alternative but features a different power rating (300 mW vs 200 mW) and higher transition frequency (200 MHz vs 100 MHz). Verify pinout compatibility between SOT-363 and SOT-363S packages before substitution.
