BC847PN-13P

Overview

The BC847PN-13P is a complementary dual bipolar junction transistor (BJT) array manufactured by Micro Commercial Components. It integrates one NPN and one PNP transistor within a single SOT-363 surface-mount package. The device supports a maximum collector-emitter voltage of 45V and a continuous collector current of 100mA. Key electrical characteristics include a transition frequency of 100MHz and a power dissipation rating of 200mW. The component features a minimum DC current gain of 200 at specified test conditions, ensuring reliable switching and amplification performance in compact electronic designs.

Feature Summary

• Integrates complementary NPN and PNP transistors in a single compact package
• Provides high current gain for efficient signal amplification
• Supports surface-mount technology for automated assembly

Applications

• General-purpose switching circuits
• Small-signal amplification stages
• Complementary push-pull output configurations

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific manufacturer datasheet to confirm exact electrical tolerances and thermal characteristics before integration. Ensure that the SOT-363 footprint matches the target PCB layout constraints. Cross-reference the ordering suffix with official MCC documentation to confirm availability and compliance status. Validate that the selected component meets all environmental and reliability requirements for the intended application environment.

Selection Notes

Select this component when space-constrained designs require matched NPN/PNP pairs with moderate voltage ratings. The SOT-363 package offers a smaller footprint compared to discrete dual packages while maintaining standard pin compatibility. Consider the 100mA current limit and 200mW power dissipation when designing thermal management solutions. This part is suitable for applications requiring complementary symmetry without the board space penalty of separate components.

Part Context

This component belongs to the BC847 series of small-signal transistors produced by Micro Commercial Components. The BC847 family typically includes various configurations such as single NPN, single PNP, and complementary dual arrays. The PN variant specifically provides both polarities in one unit, simplifying circuit design for differential or push-pull applications. The -13P suffix indicates the specific tape-and-reel packaging configuration used for high-volume manufacturing.

Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include the BC847PN-TP from the same manufacturer. Other manufacturers offer equivalent complementary dual transistors in SOT-363 packages, such as the Nexperia BC847BPN. Verify pinout compatibility and electrical parameter margins when substituting to ensure circuit functionality remains intact.
