Product details
Overview
BC807-16QCH-Q from Nexperia is a PNP general-purpose bipolar junction transistor in a DFN1412D-3 (SOT8009) leadless package, rated for −45 V VCEO, −500 mA IC, and DC current gain (hFE) of 100–250 at VCE = −1 V and IC = −100 mA. It operates up to 175 °C junction temperature and is AEC-Q101 qualified for automotive use in space-constrained switching and amplification circuits.
For engineers reviewing the BC807-16QCH-Q datasheet, BC807-16QCH-Q pinout, BC807-16QCH-Q application, or BC807-16QCH-Q equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, thermal derating behavior, AOI-compatible side-wettable flank geometry, and direct alternatives with documented hFE and saturation voltage differences.
Technical Context
This PNP BJT functions as a medium-power discrete switch or linear amplifier with fixed polarity and base-controlled conduction. Its design centers on high-temperature reliability (Tj ≤ 175 °C), low-profile packaging (0.5 mm height), and compatibility with automated optical inspection due to side-wettable flanks.
It exhibits pulsed peak collector current capability of −1 A (tp ≤ 1 ms), VCE(sat) ≤ −700 mV at IC = −500 mA / IB = −50 mA, and transition frequency fT = 80 MHz - enabling stable operation in 100 MHz small-signal applications under controlled bias conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCEO | −45 V: Maximum safe collector-emitter voltage with open base; defines upper rail tolerance in PNP switch configurations. |
| IC | −500 mA continuous: Rated DC collector current at Tamb = 25 °C; sets steady-state load drive capability. |
| hFE | 100–250 at VCE = −1 V, IC = −100 mA: Confirmed DC current gain range for predictable base drive sizing. |
| VCE(sat) | ≤ −700 mV at IC = −500 mA, IB = −50 mA: Low saturation voltage ensures minimal power loss in switching mode. |
| Ptot | 575 mW on 70 μm FR4 PCB: Thermal limit defining maximum dissipation before derating begins above 25 °C ambient. |
| fT | 80 MHz: Transition frequency confirming usable bandwidth for audio and low-MHz signal amplification. |
| Rth(j-a) | 261 K/W (70 μm copper): Junction-to-ambient thermal resistance used to calculate real-world temperature rise under load. |
Pinout & Package
DFN1412D-3 (SOT8009) is a 3-terminal, leadless, ultra-thin surface-mount package measuring 1.4 × 1.2 × 0.5 mm with side-wettable flanks for AOI-compatible solder joint inspection.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Base (B) | Control terminal; forward-biased to enable conduction between emitter and collector in PNP configuration. |
| 2 | Emitter (E) | Current source terminal; connected to higher potential rail in typical PNP switch layouts. |
| 3 | Collector (C) | Current sink terminal; delivers load current to ground or lower-potential node when active. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualification | Validated for automotive-grade reliability including temperature cycling, HTRB, and ESD testing per JESD22 standards. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| BC807-16,115 (Nexperia) | Same hFE range (100–250) but in SOT23 package; no side-wettable flanks; Rth(j-a) = 320 K/W. | Lacks AOI support and thermal performance; suitable only for non-automotive, non-high-reliability designs. | Select when legacy SOT23 footprint compatibility is required and AOI is not mandated. |
| MMBT3906LT1G (onsemi) | hFE = 100–300 at same test conditions; VCEO = −40 V; VCE(sat) = −400 mV @ IC = −10 mA (not rated at −500 mA). | Lower voltage rating and unverified −500 mA saturation performance; not AEC-Q101 qualified. | Use only in low-current (< 100 mA), non-automotive signal switching where cost is primary constraint. |
Compared with BC807-16QCH-Q, BC807-16,115 sacrifices AOI capability and thermal efficiency for SOT23 compatibility, while MMBT3906LT1G trades automotive qualification and high-current saturation validation for broader commercial availability and marginally higher hFE at low current.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable junction temperature for BC807-16QCH-Q?
The absolute maximum junction temperature is 175 °C, validated per AEC-Q101 stress testing. Operation at this limit requires strict thermal design - including PCB copper thickness, layout, and ambient airflow - to maintain reliability over lifetime. Derating curves in the datasheet define safe power limits above 25 °C ambient.
Does BC807-16QCH-Q support automatic optical inspection (AOI)?
Yes - its DFN1412D-3 package features side-wettable flanks explicitly designed for AOI of solder joints. This eliminates the need for X-ray inspection in high-volume automotive SMT lines and is confirmed in Nexperia's official package documentation and application notes for SOT8009.
How does BC807-16QCH-Q differ from standard BC807-16 in SOT23?
BC807-16QCH-Q uses the DFN1412D-3 (SOT8009) package with side-wettable flanks, 0.5 mm height, and improved thermal resistance (261 K/W vs. 320 K/W). It is AEC-Q101 qualified; the SOT23 version is not. Both share identical hFE (100–250) and electrical ratings, but only QCH-Q supports automotive AOI requirements.
Is BC807-16QCH-Q suitable for linear amplification applications?
Yes - its specified hFE stability across −55 °C to +150 °C, 80 MHz fT, and low VCE(sat) support Class-A and AB linear amplification of audio and sensor signals up to ~10 kHz. However, it is not optimized for RF or precision op-amp replacement; use only where gain linearity and thermal stability are sufficient for the target signal chain.
