BC847BVCQ-7

Overview

The BC847BVCQ-7 is a dual NPN small-signal transistor manufactured by Diodes Incorporated. It integrates two independent NPN transistors within an ultra-small SOT-563 surface-mount package, designed for high-density circuit board layouts. The device features a collector-emitter breakdown voltage (VCEO) of 45 V and a maximum continuous collector current (IC) of 100 mA. Key electrical parameters include a transition frequency (fT) of 100 MHz and a power dissipation rating of 150 mW. The component operates across a junction temperature range of -55°C to +150°C and complies with AEC-Q101 automotive reliability standards.

Feature Summary

• Dual NPN configuration in a compact SOT-563 package for space-constrained designs
• Automotive-grade reliability qualification under AEC-Q101 standards
• High-voltage capability with 45 V collector-emitter breakdown

Applications

• General-purpose switching and amplification in consumer electronics
• Signal processing circuits in automotive infotainment systems
• Low-power logic interface and level shifting applications

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'Q' against the manufacturer's official documentation to confirm AEC-Q101 qualification status, as standard variants may lack this certification. Ensure the ordering part number matches the required tape-and-reel packaging quantity specified in the latest datasheet revision. Cross-reference the RoHS compliance statement with current environmental declarations prior to procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when dual NPN functionality is required in minimal footprint designs. Compare the 150 mW power dissipation limit against thermal constraints in dense PCB layouts. Verify that the 100 mA current rating meets load requirements. Consider the SOT-563 pinout compatibility if replacing existing single or dual transistor solutions in established schematics.

Part Context

This part belongs to the BC847 family of general-purpose NPN transistors produced by Diodes Incorporated. The 'VC' designation indicates the dual NPN configuration housed in the SOT-563 package. The 'Q' suffix typically denotes automotive-grade qualification, distinguishing it from standard commercial variants like the BC847BVC-7 while maintaining identical electrical performance characteristics.

Replacement Considerations

BC847BVC-7: Standard commercial grade equivalent with identical electrical specifications but potentially different reliability qualifications.
