BC846A-QR Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The BC846A-QR is an NPN general-purpose transistor from Nexperia, part of the BC846x-Q series. It features a maximum collector-emitter voltage of 65V and a continuous collector current of 100mA. The DC current gain (hFE) ranges from 110 to 220, with a typical value of 180 at VCE = 5V and IC = 2mA. The transistor offers a typical transition frequency of 100MHz and a low collector-emitter saturation voltage of 400mV at 5mA base current and 100mA collector current.

 

Designed for surface-mount assembly, the BC846A-QR comes in a SOT23 (TO-236AB) plastic package. It is qualified to AEC-Q101, making it suitable for automotive applications. The device can operate over a wide ambient temperature range from -65°C to 150°C, with a maximum junction temperature of 150°C. Thermal resistance from junction to ambient is typically 500K/W on a standard FR4 PCB.

 

Typical applications include general-purpose switching and amplification in automotive, industrial, and consumer electronics. The transistor is RoHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, though these compliance statuses are unverified from source data.
