BC847CW/MIF

Overview

The BC847CW/MIF is an NPN general-purpose transistor manufactured by Nexperia, housed in a SOT323 surface-mount plastic package. It features a maximum collector-emitter voltage (VCEO) of 45 V and a maximum DC collector current (Idc) of 100 mA. The device has a power dissipation (Pd) of 125 mW and a transition frequency (fT) of 100 MHz. It operates within a temperature range of -65°C to +150°C and complies with RoHS standards.

Feature Summary

• NPN general-purpose transistor configuration
• Ultra-small SOT323 surface-mount package
• AEC-Q101 qualified for automotive reliability

Applications

• Low noise stages in tape recorders
• Hi-fi amplifiers
• Other audio-frequency equipment

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix /MIF against official Nexperia documentation to confirm reel packaging details and binning specifications. Ensure the component meets AEC-Q101 requirements if intended for automotive applications. Cross-reference the datasheet for exact thermal resistance values and gain groupings before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component for designs requiring small form factor NPN switching or amplification. The AEC-Q101 qualification makes it suitable for automotive environments where standard commercial grade parts may not suffice. Consider the 100 mA current limit and 45 V voltage rating when designing circuits to ensure operation remains within safe limits.

Part Context

This part belongs to the BC847 series of general-purpose NPN transistors from Nexperia. While the standard BC847 uses the SOT23 package, the CW variant utilizes the smaller SOT323 footprint. The MIF suffix typically denotes specific packaging or taping configurations provided by the manufacturer for automated assembly processes.

Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-compatible replacements include other NPN transistors in the SOT323 package with similar electrical ratings, such as the BC847CWT1G or equivalent generic equivalents. Verify that any substitute maintains the required AEC-Q101 qualification if used in automotive contexts.
