Equivalent & Substitute Parts for BC846SHX

Part Overview

BC846SHX is a bipolar (BJT) transistor array comprising two NPN transistors, with a maximum collector-emitter voltage of 65V, collector current of 100mA, and housed in a 6-TSSOP surface mount package. The device is rated for 100MHz transition frequency, 270mW maximum power, and features low collector cutoff current. The product is marked as obsolete, requiring engineers to identify suitable alternative models to ensure continued manufacturability, compliance, and supply chain stability in applications previously utilizing BC846SHX.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for BC846SHX is based solely on matching the following explicit electrical and mechanical parameters: transistor type (2 NPN, dual), maximum collector-emitter breakdown voltage (65V), maximum collector current (100mA), Vce saturation (300mV @ 5mA, 100mA), collector cutoff current (15nA ICBO), minimum DC current gain (110 @ 2mA, 5V), maximum power dissipation (270mW), transition frequency (100MHz), maximum junction temperature (175°C), mounting type (surface mount), package/case (6-TSSOP, SC-88, SOT-363), supplier device package (6-TSSOP), and RoHS compliance. Elevated compliance and certification are also considered where explicitly provided.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Substitute BC846SH-QX is active and RoHS3 compliant, matching all electrical, mechanical, and compliance parameters of the obsolete BC846SHX. BC846SH-QX also meets automotive qualification AEC-Q101, as explicitly stated, and features the same moisture sensitivity level, package, and mounting type. The active status and product compliance support uninterrupted sourcing and application requirements where BC846SHX was previously used.
