Product details
Overview
BC807-16W,115 from Nexperia is a PNP general-purpose bipolar junction transistor in SOT323 (SC-70) 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; used for low-voltage switching and linear amplification in compact consumer and industrial PCBs.
For engineers reviewing the BC807-16W,115 datasheet, BC807-16W,115 pinout, BC807-16W,115 application, or BC807-16W,115 equivalent, this page delivers verified pin functions, thermal derating behavior, saturation voltage under defined drive conditions, and validated alternatives for discrete PNP switching in space-constrained designs.
Technical Context
This PNP BJT operates with open-base collector-emitter breakdown of −45 V and emitter-base breakdown of −5 V, supporting reliable cutoff and active-region operation in low-power analog and digital interface circuits. Its pulsed peak collector current reaches −1 A with tp ≤ 1 ms, enabling short-duration load switching without thermal runaway.
Thermal resistance from junction to ambient is 625 K/W on standard FR4 PCB (single-sided copper), and drops to 431 K/W with a 1 cm² collector pad - directly informing layout-dependent power handling. The device exhibits typical fT of 80 MHz at VCE = −5 V, IC = −10 mA, confirming suitability for audio-frequency amplification and low-speed digital switching.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCEO | −45 V: Maximum safe collector-emitter voltage before avalanche breakdown under open-base condition. |
| IC | −500 mA continuous: Sustained collector current limit at Tamb = 25 °C, defining steady-state load drive capability. |
| hFE | 100–250 at VCE = −1 V, IC = −100 mA: Confirmed DC current gain range for bias network design and gain stability margining. |
| VCE(sat) | −700 mV max at IC = −500 mA, IB = −50 mA: Verified saturation voltage determining conduction loss and heat generation in switch mode. |
| Ptot | 290 mW with 1 cm² collector pad: Absolute maximum power dissipation achievable under optimized PCB thermal layout. |
| fT | 80 MHz typical: Transition frequency confirming usable bandwidth for audio amplifiers and sub-MHz logic-level signal conditioning. |
| Cc | 5 pF typical at VCB = −10 V: Collector capacitance affecting high-frequency response and switching speed in tuned or fast-switching circuits. |
Pinout & Package
SOT323 (SC-70) plastic surface-mounted package: 1.35 mm × 1.75 mm footprint, 0.65 mm lead pitch, 0.45 mm nominal thickness; optimized for reflow soldering with standardized land pattern per Figure 17.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Base (B) | Current-controlled input node; requires series resistor to limit IB and ensure hFE-based IC scaling. |
| 2 | Emitter (E) | Common reference terminal for PNP configuration; connected to higher potential rail in high-side switch applications. |
| 3 | Collector (C) | Output current path; sinks current from load to ground or lower-potential node when biased on. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Three hFE selections | BC807-16W (100–250), BC807-25W (160–400), BC807-40W (250–600): Enables precise gain matching across production batches and circuit variants. |
| High pulsed current capability | −1 A ICM (tp ≤ 1 ms): Supports momentary surge loads like relay coils or LED flash drivers without secondary breakdown. |
| Low VCE(sat) | ≤ −700 mV at IC = −500 mA: Minimizes conduction loss and self-heating in battery-powered or thermally constrained systems. |
| Thermally robust packaging | Rth(j-a) = 431 K/W with 1 cm² collector pad: Enables >2× power handling vs. standard footprint, reducing need for heatsinking. |
Applications
| LED Driver Circuit | Microcontroller GPIO Interface |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Driving 20 mA indicator LEDs from 3.3 V or 5 V supply using MCU output pins incapable of sinking sufficient current. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: PNP switch configured in common-emitter topology, turning on when MCU pin goes low. Use Value: Enables direct LED control without level-shifting ICs; VCE(sat) ≤ −700 mV ensures ≥2.3 V forward voltage headroom at full current. |
Use Scenario: Inverting logic-level signals between mixed-voltage domains (e.g., 1.8 V MCU to 5 V peripheral enable line). IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Discrete level translator operating in active region with fixed base bias, providing clean voltage inversion. Use Value: Eliminates need for dedicated level-shifter ICs; hFE ≥ 100 ensures stable DC transfer function across temperature. |
| Low-Voltage Power Switch | Audio Pre-amplifier Stage |
Use Scenario: High-side switching of 3.3 V or 5 V subsystems (e.g., sensor modules) controlled by an active-low enable signal. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: PNP transistor acting as saturated switch with base driven through current-limiting resistor. Use Value: Provides galvanic isolation between control logic and load; −45 V VCEO allows margin against supply transients up to 30 V. |
Use Scenario: Single-stage common-emitter amplifier for microphone or piezo sensor signals in portable audio devices. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Linear-mode amplifier with emitter degeneration resistor, biased in active region for gain stability. Use Value: 80 MHz fT supports flat frequency response up to 20 kHz; low Cc (5 pF) minimizes Miller effect distortion. |
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 range (100–250) but in SOT-23 package; Rth(j-a) = 400 K/W (standard footprint); VCE(sat) = −850 mV @ IC = −500 mA. | SOT-23 offers wider board compatibility but slightly higher saturation loss; less optimized for ultra-dense layouts than SC-70. | Select when legacy SOT-23 footprints exist or when higher thermal mass is acceptable for intermittent duty cycles. |
| MMBT3906LT1G | Lower VCEO (−40 V), same IC (−200 mA), hFE = 100–300; Rth(j-a) = 450 K/W; VCE(sat) = −400 mV @ IC = −100 mA. | Rated for lower voltage and current; better suited for signal-level switching than power switching near 500 mA. | Choose for low-current (<200 mA), low-voltage (<30 V) signal inversion where minimal VCE(sat) is critical. |
Compared with BC807-16W,115, BC807-16LT1G trades marginally higher saturation loss for broader SMT footprint support, while MMBT3906LT1G offers tighter VCE(sat) at reduced voltage/current ratings - making BC807-16W,115 optimal for 45 V/500 mA PNP switching where SC-70 density and thermal performance are prioritized.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable base current for continuous operation?
The absolute maximum peak base current is −200 mA per limiting values table, but continuous operation must stay within thermal limits. At Tamb = 25 °C and standard footprint, sustained IB should not exceed −50 mA to maintain IC ≤ −500 mA without exceeding Ptot = 200 mW - verified by VBE ≈ −1.2 V and resulting power dissipation in the base-emitter junction.
Can BC807-16W,115 be used in linear amplifier configurations?
Yes - its hFE stability across IC (100–250 at −100 mA) and fT of 80 MHz support Class-A and Class-AB audio pre-amplifier stages. Designers must ensure VCE remains ≥ −1 V and junction temperature stays below 150 °C using appropriate emitter degeneration and thermal layout, as confirmed by Figures 4 and 6 in the datasheet.
How does the SOT323 package affect thermal performance compared to SOT-23?
SOT323 (SC-70) has smaller footprint (1.35 × 1.75 mm vs. 2.9 × 1.3 mm) and thinner profile, resulting in higher thermal resistance: 625 K/W vs. ~400 K/W for SOT-23 on identical PCBs. However, its optimized pad layout allows 431 K/W with 1 cm² collector copper - a 31% improvement over SOT-23's best-case 625 K/W - making it superior for dense, thermally managed designs.
Is BC807-16W,115 qualified for automotive applications?
No - per Revision History section 13 and Legal Information section "Non-automotive qualified products", BC807W series is explicitly marked non-automotive. It lacks AEC-Q101 qualification, automotive-grade testing, and guaranteed operation over −40 °C to +125 °C extended temperature range. For automotive use, Nexperia's BC807W-Q series (e.g., BC807-16W-Q) must be selected instead.
