BC847VPN-TP

Overview

The BC847VPN-TP is a bipolar junction transistor array manufactured by Micro Commercial Components. It integrates one NPN and one PNP transistor within a single SOT-563 surface-mount package. The device supports a maximum collector-emitter voltage of 45V and a continuous collector current of 100mA. Its transition frequency is rated at 100MHz, with a power dissipation capacity of 225mW. This configuration provides space-efficient switching and amplification capabilities for compact electronic designs.

Feature Summary

• Integrates complementary NPN and PNP transistors in a single package
• Supports high-speed switching applications via specified transition frequency
• Offers surface-mount compatibility through the SOT-563 footprint

Applications

• Signal switching circuits
• Logic level translation
• General-purpose amplification stages

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version from Micro Commercial Components to confirm electrical tolerances and thermal characteristics. Ensure the SOT-563 footprint matches the target PCB layout. Cross-reference pin assignments against official documentation to prevent installation errors during assembly processes.

Selection Notes

Select this component when dual-polarity switching or complementary logic functions are required in a minimal footprint. The 45V rating suits low-voltage digital systems. Consider the 100mA current limit for load requirements. The SOT-563 package offers higher density than discrete alternatives.

Part Context

This part belongs to the BC847 series of general-purpose bipolar transistors produced by MCC. While standard BC847 variants often contain single transistors, the VPN suffix indicates a dual-array configuration combining NPN and PNP types. It serves as a compact alternative to using separate discrete components for complementary circuit topologies.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other SOT-563 NPN/PNP arrays such as the BC856BCN-TP or similar complementary pairs from manufacturers like Diodes Inc. or ON Semiconductor. Verify that replacement parts match the 45V voltage rating and 100mA current specifications before integration.
