BC846BS-QX

The BC846BS-QX is a dual NPN general-purpose transistor array manufactured by Nexperia USA Inc. It contains two matched NPN transistors in a single surface-mount package, designed for general-purpose switching and amplification applications. Each transistor has a maximum collector-emitter voltage (VCEO) of 65V and a maximum collector current (IC) of 100mA. The DC current gain (hFE) is typically 300 at 2mA collector current and 5V collector-emitter voltage, with a range of 200 to 450. The collector-emitter saturation voltage is typically 300mV at 5mA base current and 100mA collector current. The transition frequency (fT) is typically 100MHz, making it suitable for low-frequency switching and amplification.

The device is qualified to AEC-Q101 and recommended for automotive applications. It offers low collector capacitance and low collector-emitter saturation voltage. The matched current gain between the two transistors reduces component count and board space while eliminating mutual interference. The package is a 6-lead TSSOP (SOT-363) with a body size of 2.1mm x 1.25mm x 0.95mm and 0.65mm pitch. It is surface-mountable and has an MSL rating of 1 (unlimited). The operating temperature range is -55°C to 150°C, and storage temperature range is -65°C to 150°C. Maximum power dissipation is 200mW per transistor and 300mW total for the device at 25°C ambient temperature.
