BC847BVN,115

Overview

The BC847BVN,115 is a dual NPN/PNP general-purpose transistor housed in an SOT666 ultra-small surface-mount package. It provides complementary switching and amplification capabilities within a compact footprint measuring 1.6 mm x 1.2 mm x 0.55 mm. The device supports a collector-emitter voltage of 45 V and a continuous collector current of 100 mA per transistor, with peak currents reaching 200 mA. Total power dissipation is rated at 300 mW. DC current gain ranges from 200 to 450 at 2 mA. Transition frequency is specified at 100 MHz.

Feature Summary

• Ultra-thin SOT666 package reduces required PCB area compared to two separate SC-75 or SC-89 transistors
• Straight leads ensure excellent coplanarity for reliable surface mounting
• Low collector capacitance improves high-frequency performance
• Integrated complementary pair simplifies circuit design and reduces component count

Applications

• General purpose switching and amplification
• Switch mode power supply complementary MOSFET driver
• Complementary driver for audio amplifiers

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against official Nexperia documentation to confirm packaging details. Confirm that the product status aligns with project requirements, as automotive qualification was removed in recent revisions. Ensure compatibility with reflow soldering processes only, as specified in the thermal characteristics section.

Selection Notes

Select this component when board space is constrained and a complementary NPN/PNP pair is required. The SOT666 package offers a direct replacement for discrete SC-75/SC-89 configurations. Verify that the 45 V rating and 100 mA current limits meet the application's electrical demands before finalizing the design.

Part Context

This part belongs to the BC847 series of general-purpose transistors manufactured by Nexperia. While other variants like BC847B exist in different packages such as SOT-23, the BVN variant specifically utilizes the SOT666 format to house both NPN and PNP structures. This distinguishes it from single-transistor models and other dual configurations.

Replacement Considerations

BC847BV is the base part number. Check for alternative dual transistor packages if SOT666 availability is limited, ensuring pinout compatibility.
