Product details
Overview
BC807-16LT1 from onsemi is a PNP silicon general-purpose transistor in SOT-23 package, rated for −45 V VCEO, −500 mA IC, and 225 mW power dissipation on FR-4 board; it delivers hFE = 100–250 at IC = −100 mA, VCE = −1.0 V, and is widely used in low-voltage switching and signal amplification circuits in industrial control modules.
For engineers reviewing the BC807-16LT1 datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this page provides verified electrical parameters, thermal behavior on standard PCBs, SOT-23 terminal mapping, AEC-Q101 qualification status, and direct alternatives for discrete PNP switching design.
Technical Context
This device operates as a medium-current PNP bipolar junction transistor with fixed gain binning (100–250), optimized for linear amplification and saturated switching in DC-coupled or low-frequency (<100 MHz) applications. Its −6.0 V VEBO rating supports robust base-emitter reverse bias tolerance, and its fT = 100 MHz ensures stable small-signal performance up to audio and sub-RF frequencies.
Thermal design is constrained by RJA = 436 °C/W on FR-4 (1 oz Cu, 100 mm²), requiring derating of 1.8 mW/°C above 25°C ambient; junction temperature must remain within −55°C to +150°C for reliable operation across automotive and industrial environments.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCEO | −45 V: Maximum collector-to-emitter voltage before breakdown under open-base condition; defines safe operating voltage headroom in negative-rail switching. |
| IC | −500 mA dc: Continuous collector current limit; sets maximum load drive capability in saturated switch configurations. |
| hFE | 100–250 @ IC = −100 mA, VCE = −1.0 V: Confirmed DC current gain range for predictable base drive sizing in amplifier or switch bias networks. |
| VCE(sat) | ≤ −0.7 V @ IC = −500 mA, IB = −50 mA: Verified saturation voltage defining conduction loss and heat generation in on-state operation. |
| fT | 100 MHz @ IC = −10 mA, VCE = −5.0 V: Small-signal bandwidth limit confirming suitability for audio and low-speed digital signal conditioning. |
| RJA | 436 °C/W on FR-4: Thermal resistance value used to calculate junction temperature rise and required board copper area for thermal management. |
Pinout & Package
SOT-23 (Case 318, Style 6) surface-mount plastic package with gull-wing leads; 3-terminal configuration optimized for high-density PCB layouts and automated assembly.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Collector | Main current sink terminal; connects to negative supply rail or load return path in PNP switch topologies. |
| 2 | Base | Control input; requires current-limited drive (e.g., via series resistor) to achieve specified hFE-based saturation. |
| 3 | Emitter | Current source terminal; typically tied to positive supply in common-emitter switching, enabling active-low output logic. |
Key Features

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| BC807-16-7-F (Diodes Inc.) | Same VCEO, IC, hFE bin, and SOT-23 package; RJA = 405 °C/W on FR-4 (slightly better thermal performance). | Identical functional role; validated in AEC-Q101-compliant designs but lacks onsemi's PPAP documentation support. | Select when sourcing flexibility is prioritized and PPAP traceability is not required for Tier 1 automotive programs. |
| MMBT807 (ON Semiconductor) | Same die and specification as BC807-16LT1; differs only in tape-and-reel packaging (MMBT807 uses 3000/reel vs. BC807-16LT1's 3000/reel) and marking code. | No functional or application difference; fully interchangeable in all circuit implementations and layout footprints. | Select when standardizing on MMBT prefix for internal BOM consistency or aligning with legacy procurement systems. |
Compared with BC807-16LT1, BC807-16-7-F offers marginal thermal improvement but less automotive process documentation, while MMBT807 is electrically and mechanically identical-making it a true drop-in alternative for production continuity and second-source planning.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous collector current rating for BC807-16LT1?
The BC807-16LT1 has a maximum continuous collector current (IC) rating of −500 mA dc at TA = 25°C. This value assumes proper PCB thermal management-derating is required above 25°C ambient per the 1.8 mW/°C specification. Exceeding this current may cause thermal runaway or permanent degradation of BC807-16LT1 performance.
Is BC807-16LT1 qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, BC807-16LT1 is AEC-Q101 qualified and PPAP capable, meeting stress test requirements for automotive electronics including temperature cycling, highly accelerated life testing, and electrostatic discharge. The "S" prefix variant (SBC807-16LT1G) explicitly denotes automotive-grade traceability, but BC807-16LT1 itself carries full qualification per onsemi's datasheet revision 17.
What is the DC current gain (hFE) range of BC807-16LT1 under standard test conditions?
The BC807-16LT1 exhibits a DC current gain (hFE) range of 100 to 250 when tested at IC = −100 mA and VCE = −1.0 V. This binning is guaranteed across the full operating temperature range (−55°C to +150°C), ensuring predictable base drive requirements in both BC807-16LT1 amplifier and switching configurations.
Does BC807-16LT1 have Pb-free and RoHS-compliant packaging?
Yes, BC807-16LT1 is manufactured in a Pb-free, halogen-free/BFR-free package and complies with EU RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU. The "G" suffix in part numbers like BC807-16LT1G explicitly denotes this compliance, and the device meets JEDEC JS709C material composition standards for green electronics manufacturing.
What is the thermal resistance (RJA) of BC807-16LT1 on a standard FR-4 PCB?
The BC807-16LT1 has a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RJA) of 436 °C/W when mounted on an FR-4 board with 1 oz copper and 100 mm² pad area. This value is critical for calculating maximum allowable power dissipation and junction temperature rise; designers must apply the 1.8 mW/°C derating factor above 25°C ambient to maintain BC807-16LT1 reliability.
