NEXPERIA BC846BPN Transistor Array NPN/PNP 65V 100mA SOT-363

The NEXPERIA BC846BPN,115 is a 65V, 100mA general purpose NPN-PNP transistor pair housed in a very small surface-mount plastic package (SOT-363). This transistor array is designed for a wide range of general purpose switching and amplification applications, delivering reliable performance while minimising board space and component count.

The device features low collector capacitance and low collector-emitter saturation voltage, ensuring efficient operation. Its closely matched current gain makes it ideal for circuits where consistent performance is critical. By integrating two complementary transistors in one package, it reduces the number of components and board space required, and the arrangement ensures no mutual interference between the transistors.

This NPN-PNP pair offers a maximum collector-base voltage of 80V and a maximum total power dissipation of 300mW at an ambient temperature of 25°C. The transistors provide a DC collector current of 100mA, a minimum DC current gain (hFE) of 200, and a transition frequency of 100MHz. The operating temperature range extends up to 150°C, making it suitable for demanding environments.

The NPN-NPN complement is the BC846BS, and the PNP-PNP complement is the BC856BS. This component is surface mount (SMD) and comes in a compact SOT-363 package, making it an excellent choice for high-density circuit designs.
