Product details
Overview
BC807-16 E6327 from Infineon Technologies is a PNP silicon general-purpose audio-frequency bipolar junction transistor with VCEO = 45 V, IC = 500 mA, hFE = 100–160 (at IC = 100 mA), VCE(sat) ≤ 0.7 V (at IC = 500 mA), and SOT-23 package. It serves as a medium-power switching or linear amplification device in low-voltage DC control circuits, motor drivers, and LED load interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the BC807-16 E6327 datasheet, BC807-16 E6327 pinout, BC807-16 E6327 application, or BC807-16 E6327 equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed hFE group 16 performance across temperature, low saturation voltage for efficient switching, RoHS-compliant SOT-23 footprint compatibility, and AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive-grade reliability.
Technical Context
This PNP BJT operates in active, saturation, and cutoff regions with defined DC current gain grouping (hFE = 100–160 at IC = 100 mA, VCE = 1 V) and thermal derating per junction-to-solder-point resistance (RthJS ≤ 215 K/W). Its fT = 200 MHz supports stable operation up to mid-frequency signal conditioning.
Designed for complementary pairing with NPN BC817 series, it enables push-pull output stages and level-shifting circuits. The device meets AEC-Q101 stress testing requirements and features Pb-free termination per RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCEO | 45 V - Maximum collector-emitter voltage before breakdown under open-base condition; sets safe operating voltage ceiling in 24 V and 36 V DC systems. |
| IC | 500 mA - Continuous collector current rating; supports driving relays, small solenoids, or LED arrays without external heat sinking. |
| hFE (100 mA) | 100–160 - Guaranteed DC current gain group "16"; ensures predictable base drive requirements in linear amplifier or switch-mode bias networks. |
| VCE(sat) | ≤ 0.7 V @ IC = 500 mA, IB = 50 mA - Low saturation voltage minimizes power loss and self-heating during on-state switching. |
| fT | 200 MHz - Transition frequency confirms usable bandwidth for audio preamplifier stages and PWM signal buffering up to ~20 MHz. |
| RthJS | ≤ 215 K/W - Junction-to-solder-point thermal resistance defines PCB copper area requirement for thermal management at full load. |
Pinout & Package
SOT-23 plastic surface-mount package with gull-wing leads; 3-terminal configuration optimized for automated placement and reflow soldering.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (Emitter) | E | Current sink node; connects to higher potential rail in PNP switching configurations; requires low-impedance return path for stable bias. |
| 2 (Base) | B | Control input; accepts current-limited drive (max IB = 100 mA) to saturate or cut off the transistor reliably. |
| 3 (Collector) | C | Output node; delivers switched load current to ground; must be routed with adequate trace width for 500 mA continuous conduction. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualified | Validated for automotive electronics per stress test requirements including HTSL, TC, and AC/DC life testing. |
| RoHS-compliant packaging | Pb-free termination and halogen-free molding compound meet EU Directive 2011/65/EU and JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 1. |
| Low VCE(sat) | ≤ 0.7 V at rated IC/IB reduces conduction loss by >30% vs. legacy PNP transistors like BC327 in 12 V relay driver designs. |
| Complementary NPN pairing | Direct functional match with BC817-16 for balanced push-pull outputs, eliminating need for gain-matching external components. |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar PNP general-purpose transistor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BC807-16LT1G | Same hFE group and VCEO, but packaged in SOT-23 with different marking and tape/reel orientation; RthJS = 200 K/W. | Identical functional use; minor assembly line feed compatibility difference due to reel pitch and orientation. | Select when sourcing from ON Semiconductor distribution channels or requiring alternate tape-and-reel logistics. |
| MMBT807 | Same electrical specs and SOT-23 package, but not AEC-Q101 qualified; hFE min = 100 (no group binning). | Acceptable for commercial-grade consumer products where automotive reliability is not required. | Choose for cost-sensitive non-automotive designs where qualification overhead is unnecessary. |
Compared with BC807-16 E6327, BC807-16LT1G offers identical performance with alternate packaging logistics, while MMBT807 trades AEC-Q101 validation and hFE binning for lower unit cost in non-automotive applications.

FAQ
Is BC807-16 E6327 pin-compatible with BC807-25 or BC807-40?
Yes - all BC807 variants share identical SOT-23 pinout (E-B-C) and mechanical footprint. However, hFE group differs: BC807-16 has hFE = 100–160, BC807-25 = 160–250, and BC807-40 = 250–400. Base resistor values must be adjusted accordingly to maintain saturation.
What is the maximum allowable base current for continuous operation?
The absolute maximum DC base current is 100 mA per datasheet Section 2. Exceeding this risks metallization failure. For reliable 500 mA collector switching, design IB ≥ 50 mA (hFE min = 100), with 20% margin - i.e., 60 mA typical drive using a 180 Ω resistor from 3.3 V MCU GPIO.
Does BC807-16 E6327 support pulsed operation beyond 500 mA?
Yes - peak collector current ICM is 1000 mA for pulse widths < 300 µs and duty cycle < 2%. Derating curves in Figure 7 confirm 1.5× overcurrent capability for short-duration motor stall or inrush events when board layout provides adequate thermal mass.
Can BC807-16 E6327 replace BC327 in existing designs?
Yes - both are PNP transistors in TO-92 and SOT-23 packages with comparable VCEO (45 V) and IC (500 mA). However, BC807-16 has higher hFE (100–160 vs. 100–250 for BC327-16) and lower VCE(sat) (0.7 V vs. 0.9 V), improving efficiency but potentially requiring base resistor reduction by ~15%.
