Overview
The BC846BPN/DG/B3X is a dual surface-mount NPN/PNP general-purpose transistor pair produced by Nexperia USA Inc. This component is housed in a very small SOT363 (SC-88) Surface-Mounted Device (SMD) plastic package, making it ideal for applications where board space is limited. The device contains two electrically-isolated complementary pairs of NPN and PNP transistors, which are suitable for general-purpose switching and amplification.
