BCV47,235

Overview

The BCV47,235 is a single NPN Darlington transistor manufactured by Nexperia USA Inc. It features a maximum collector-emitter voltage (VCEO) of 60 V and a maximum DC collector current of 500 mA. The device has a power dissipation rating of 250 mW and operates within a temperature range of -65°C to +150°C. It is housed in an SOT-23-3 (TO-236AB) surface-mount package. The component meets AEC-Q101 automotive qualification standards.

Feature Summary

• High current gain suitable for amplification applications
• Automotive grade reliability with AEC-Q101 qualification
• Compact surface-mount packaging for space-constrained designs

Applications

• General audio frequency amplification
• Switching circuits requiring high gain
• Automotive electronic systems

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix against official Nexperia documentation to confirm package orientation and tape specifications. Ensure the ordering part number matches the required automotive qualification status. Cross-reference datasheet revisions to confirm compliance with current RoHS directives before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when high current gain is required in a small surface-mount footprint. The AEC-Q101 qualification makes it suitable for automotive environments. Compare VCEO and Ic ratings against circuit requirements to ensure adequate headroom. Consider thermal management due to the 250 mW power dissipation limit in the SOT-23 package.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Nexperia BCV47 series of NPN Darlington transistors. It serves as the NPN complement to the PNP BCV26 transistor. Both devices share similar electrical characteristics and packaging options, providing designers with complementary switching and amplification solutions in the same physical form factor.

Replacement Considerations

BCV47-QVL is a verified equivalent variant within the same product family.
