Product details

Overview

BC807-16QB-Q from Nexperia is a PNP general-purpose bipolar junction transistor (BJT) in a leadless DFN1110D-3 (SOT8015) package, rated for −45 V V_CEO, −500 mA I_C, and DC current gain (h_FE) of 100–250 at V_CE = −1 V and I_C = −100 mA. It delivers low V_CE(sat) of −700 mV at I_C = −500 mA / I_B = −50 mA and supports automotive-grade reliability per AEC-Q101.

For engineers reviewing the BC807-16QB-Q datasheet, BC807-16QB-Q pinout, BC807-16QB-Q application, or BC807-16QB-Q equivalent, this device serves as a space-constrained, high-reliability switching and amplification solution in automotive body control modules, LED drivers, and power management circuits where thermal performance and AOI-compatible side-wettable flanks are critical.

Technical Context

This PNP BJT operates with open-base collector-emitter breakdown voltage of −45 V and emitter-base breakdown voltage of −5 V, enabling robust operation in negative-rail bias configurations. Its pulsed peak collector current reaches −1 A (t_p ≤ 1 ms), supporting transient load switching in automotive subsystems.

The device features a thermally enhanced ultra-thin package (1.1 × 1.0 × 0.48 mm) with side-wettable flanks for reliable reflow solder joint inspection. Thermal resistance R_th(j-a) is 358 K/W on standard FR4 (35 μm Cu), allowing stable operation up to T_j = 150 °C under defined PCB layout conditions.

Key Specifications

Parameter	Value and Actual Design Meaning
V_CEO	−45 V: Maximum safe collector-emitter voltage with base open; defines rail tolerance in negative-supply switching stages.
I_C	−500 mA continuous: Sustained collector current capability; supports medium-power load control without forced cooling.
h_FE	100–250 at I_C = −100 mA: Predictable DC current gain range enables stable bias design for linear amplification or saturated switching.
V_CE(sat)	−700 mV at I_C = −500 mA / I_B = −50 mA: Low saturation voltage minimizes conduction loss and self-heating in high-duty-cycle switches.
P_tot	350 mW (FR4, 35 μm Cu): Total power dissipation limit at 25 °C ambient; derates linearly above 25 °C per published curve.
f_T	80 MHz: Transition frequency at V_CE = −5 V, I_C = −10 mA; supports audio-frequency amplification and fast digital switching.
AEC-Q101	Qualified: Meets stress-test requirements for discrete semiconductors in automotive applications; supports under-hood and cabin ECUs.

Pinout & Package

DFN1110D-3 (SOT8015) is a 3-terminal, leadless, ultra-thin plastic package measuring 1.1 mm × 1.0 mm × 0.48 mm with side-wettable flanks for automated optical inspection (AOI) of solder joints. It uses a bottom-terminated footprint with 0.65 mm pitch and requires controlled reflow profile per JEDEC J-STD-020.

Pin/Terminal	Circuit Role	Design Meaning
1	Base (B)	Control terminal for forward-biased PNP operation; requires negative base current relative to emitter to turn on.
2	Emitter (E)	Current source terminal in PNP configuration; typically connected to higher potential rail (e.g., V_CC or battery+).
3	Collector (C)	Current sink terminal; connects to load and ground or lower-potential node; carries full switched current.

Key Features

Feature	Design Value
Side-wettable flanks	Enables automated optical inspection (AOI) of solder joints on bottom-terminated DFN packages, improving manufacturing yield in automotive SMT lines.
AEC-Q101 qualification	Validated for automotive use including temperature cycling, HTRB, and ESD testing-supports deployment in body electronics and lighting control units.
Low package height (0.48 mm)	Reduces board profile in space-constrained modules such as smart sensors and compact LED drivers where Z-axis clearance is limited.
Three h_FE variants	BC807-16QB-Q (100–250), BC807-25QB-Q (160–400), BC807-40QB-Q (250–600) allow precise gain matching across production batches or circuit sensitivity tiers.
Thermal enhancement	Optimized copper pad layout and thin die attach enable 350 mW dissipation on standard FR4, reducing need for thermal vias in cost-sensitive designs.

Applications

Automotive Body Control Module

LED Driver Circuit

Use Scenario: Switching 12 V incandescent or resistive loads (e.g., door lock actuators, window lift motors) in vehicle body control units.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: PNP switch operating in saturation mode, sinking load current to ground while emitter tied to battery rail.

Use Value: −700 mV V_CE(sat) limits power loss to <150 mW at 500 mA, reducing thermal stress in sealed ECUs without heatsinks.

Use Scenario: Constant-current LED string driver in interior lighting, using emitter-follower configuration with current-sense resistor.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Linear current-regulating transistor biased via feedback loop; leverages stable h_FE and low V_BE drift (−2 mV/K).

Use Value: 100–250 h_FE range ensures predictable current gain across temperature, enabling ±5% LED brightness stability over −40 °C to +125 °C.

Power Supply Enable Switch

Signal-Level Level Shifter

Use Scenario: Enabling/disabling downstream 5 V or 3.3 V rails in multi-voltage systems using microcontroller GPIO.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-side PNP pass switch controlled by inverted logic signal; provides rail isolation with minimal quiescent current.

Use Value: −5 V V_EBO rating allows safe operation with 3.3 V/5 V control signals referenced to higher supply, preventing base-emitter overvoltage failure.

Use Scenario: Translating 1.8 V logic outputs to interface with 5 V or 12 V peripherals in mixed-voltage industrial controllers.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Inverting level shifter with fixed gain; used in open-collector or push-pull output stages requiring polarity inversion.

Use Value: 80 MHz f_T supports clean edge transitions up to ~10 MHz, preserving signal integrity in UART, SPI, or PWM interfaces.

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	TO-236AB (SOT-23) package; 1.3 mm × 1.3 mm × 0.9 mm; no side-wettable flanks; R_th(j-a) = 400 K/W.	Lacks AEC-Q101 qualification; not recommended for automotive; better suited for consumer-grade prototyping or non-critical industrial use.	Select when AOI capability or automotive qualification is unnecessary and legacy SOT-23 footprint compatibility is required.
PN2907A	TO-92 through-hole package; −60 V V_CEO; −600 mA I_C; h_FE = 100–300; no AEC-Q101 qualification.	Requires manual or wave soldering; incompatible with high-density SMT assembly; larger footprint limits miniaturization.	Choose only for through-hole prototyping, repair, or legacy board rework where DFN reflow infrastructure is unavailable.

Compared with BC807-16LT1G and PN2907A, BC807-16QB-Q uniquely combines AEC-Q101 qualification, side-wettable flanks for AOI, and ultra-small DFN1110D-3 packaging-making it the sole option for volume automotive SMT production requiring zero-defect solder joint verification and thermal efficiency in tight spaces.

FAQ

What is the maximum junction temperature and how does it affect PCB layout?

The absolute maximum junction temperature (T_j) is 150 °C. To maintain safe operation, PCB layout must provide adequate copper area: 350 mW dissipation requires ≥100 mm² of 35 μm copper on FR4 per the datasheet's derating curve. Use thermal vias under the exposed pad if available, though the DFN1110D-3 lacks an exposed thermal pad-so top-side copper and adjacent ground planes are primary heat paths.

Is BC807-16QB-Q pin-compatible with other BC807 variants like BC807-25QB-Q?

Yes-BC807-16QB-Q, BC807-25QB-Q, and BC807-40QB-Q share identical DFN1110D-3 (SOT8015) package, pinout (B-E-C), and footprint. They differ only in DC current gain (h_FE) range and minor electrical characteristics; substitution is electrically valid when gain requirements align, and no layout change is needed.

Does BC807-16QB-Q support pulsed operation beyond its continuous current rating?

Yes-it supports −1 A peak collector current (I_CM) for single pulses ≤1 ms at 25 °C ambient. This enables short-duration surge handling in motor startup or solenoid actuation. However, pulse duty cycle must remain ≤0.02 (2%) to avoid thermal runaway, and average power must stay within the 350 mW continuous limit.

How does the side-wettable flank feature improve manufacturing yield?

Side-wettable flanks expose solder along the vertical sidewall of the DFN1110D-3 package, enabling automated optical inspection (AOI) systems to verify solder fillet formation and wetting quality-unlike standard DFNs where solder joints are invisible from above. This reduces field failures from insufficient solder or voiding in automotive production lines.
