BC847PN-TP

Overview

The BC847PN-TP is a dual bipolar junction transistor (BJT) array manufactured by Micro Commercial Components. It integrates one NPN and one PNP transistor within a single SOT-363 package. The device supports a maximum collector current of 100 mA and features a collector-emitter voltage rating of 45 V, with a collector-base voltage of 50 V and an emitter-base voltage of 6 V. It operates across a temperature range of -55°C to +150°C and includes AEC-Q101 automotive qualification.

Feature Summary

• Dual configuration combining complementary NPN and PNP transistors in a compact surface-mount footprint
• Automotive-grade reliability certified under the AEC-Q101 standard for harsh environment operation
• Low mutual interference between internal transistor elements to maintain signal integrity

Applications

• General-purpose switching circuits requiring complementary logic levels
• Signal amplification stages in automotive electronic control units
• Driver circuits for low-power loads in industrial automation systems

Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through official manufacturer channels or authorized distributors. Confirm that the specific order matches the BC847PN-TP designation to ensure correct NPN/PNP pairing and SOT-363 packaging. Request relevant documentation such as datasheets and compliance certificates prior to finalizing procurement decisions.

Selection Notes

Select this component when space-constrained designs require matched complementary transistor pairs. Ensure the application voltage does not exceed the 45 V collector-emitter limit. Consider the 100 mA current capacity for load requirements. Verify thermal management capabilities given the small SOT-363 package size and power dissipation constraints.

Part Context

This part belongs to the BC847 series of general-purpose silicon transistors produced by MCC. It serves as a compact alternative to discrete single-transistor solutions, reducing board space and assembly complexity. The inclusion of both NPN and PNP types facilitates push-pull configurations and differential amplifier designs without requiring multiple components.

Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include Nexperia BC847BPNH-Q and similar SOT-363 dual BJT arrays. Verify pinout compatibility and electrical parameter alignment before substitution. Ensure replacement parts meet the same AEC-Q101 automotive qualification standards if used in regulated environments.
