BC847C-TP-HF

Overview

The BC847C-TP-HF is a single NPN bipolar junction transistor manufactured by Micro Commercial Components. It features a collector-emitter breakdown voltage of 45 V and a maximum continuous collector current of 100 mA. The device operates with a transition frequency of 100 MHz and dissipates up to 225 mW of power. DC current gain (hFE) ranges from 420 to 600 at specified test conditions. It is housed in a surface-mount SOT-23 package and supports an operating temperature range from -55°C to +150°C.

Feature Summary

• High DC current gain for efficient signal amplification
• Low saturation voltage for improved switching efficiency
• Wide operating temperature range suitable for harsh environments

Applications

• General-purpose signal amplification circuits
• Switching applications in consumer electronics
• Driver stages for low-power loads

Procurement Notes

Verify the exact suffix against official manufacturer documentation, as variations exist within the BC847 family. Confirm RoHS compliance status directly with the supplier or datasheet. Ensure the ordering code matches the specific gain bin and packaging requirements for your production line. Cross-reference part numbers carefully to avoid confusion with similar variants.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a standard NPN transistor with moderate voltage ratings and high gain is required. The SOT-23 package offers space-saving benefits for compact designs. Consider the 100 mA current limit and 45 V voltage rating during circuit design. Evaluate thermal management needs based on the 225 mW power dissipation capability.

Part Context

This component belongs to the widely used BC847 series of small-signal NPN transistors. It serves as a common replacement for legacy discrete components in modern electronic assemblies. The device is designed for general-purpose use across various industries. Its standardized pinout facilitates easy integration into existing PCB layouts.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include BC847B and BC847A variants, though gain characteristics differ. Other manufacturers produce equivalent parts under different part numbers. Verify electrical parameters match before substitution.
