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 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 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 h_FE 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 (T_j ≤ 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 (t_p ≤ 1 ms), V_CE(sat) ≤ −700 mV at I_C = −500 mA / I_B = −50 mA, and transition frequency f_T = 80 MHz - enabling stable operation in 100 MHz small-signal applications under controlled bias conditions.

Key Specifications

Parameter	Value and Actual Design Meaning
V_CEO	−45 V: Maximum safe collector-emitter voltage with open base; defines upper rail tolerance in PNP switch configurations.
I_C	−500 mA continuous: Rated DC collector current at T_amb = 25 °C; sets steady-state load drive capability.
h_FE	100–250 at V_CE = −1 V, I_C = −100 mA: Confirmed DC current gain range for predictable base drive sizing.
V_CE(sat)	≤ −700 mV at I_C = −500 mA, I_B = −50 mA: Low saturation voltage ensures minimal power loss in switching mode.
P_tot	575 mW on 70 μm FR4 PCB: Thermal limit defining maximum dissipation before derating begins above 25 °C ambient.
f_T	80 MHz: Transition frequency confirming usable bandwidth for audio and low-MHz signal amplification.
R_th(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.
Side-wettable flanks	Enables automated optical inspection (AOI) of solder joints without X-ray, reducing post-reflow defect escape.
175 °C max junction temperature	Supports operation in engine bay, powertrain, and under-hood modules where ambient exceeds 125 °C.
0.5 mm package height	Reduces board profile in ultra-thin consumer and portable electronics while maintaining thermal performance.
Three h_FE variants	BC807-16QCH-Q (100–250), BC807-25QCH-Q (160–400), BC807-40QCH-Q (250–600) allow precise gain matching.

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 h_FE range (100–250) but in SOT23 package; no side-wettable flanks; R_th(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)	h_FE = 100–300 at same test conditions; V_CEO = −40 V; V_CE(sat) = −400 mV @ I_C = −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 h_FE 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 h_FE (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 h_FE stability across −55 °C to +150 °C, 80 MHz f_T, and low V_CE(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.
