Product details
Overview
BC807-16W from Nexperia is a PNP general-purpose bipolar junction transistor in SOT323 (SC-70) package, rated for −45 V VCEO, −500 mA continuous collector current, and DC current gain (hFE) of 100–250 at VCE = −1 V and IC = −100 mA. It serves as a compact, surface-mount switching or linear amplification device in low-power analog and digital interface circuits.
For engineers reviewing the BC807-16W datasheet, BC807-16W pinout, BC807-16W application, or BC807-16W equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, thermal derating behavior, base-emitter saturation voltage under load, and real-world substitution guidance - all grounded in Nexperia's Rev. 8 product data sheet.
Technical Context
The BC807-16W operates as a silicon PNP BJT with fixed gain binning (100–250), optimized for stable DC amplification and saturated switching in ambient temperatures from −65 °C to 150 °C. Its low VCE(sat) of −700 mV at IC = −500 mA / IB = −50 mA enables efficient low-voltage switching in battery-powered logic interfaces.
Thermal performance is defined by Rth(j-a) = 625 K/W on standard FR4 PCB and 431 K/W with enhanced 1 cm² collector pad, supporting power dissipation up to 290 mW at Tamb ≤ 25 °C. Junction temperature is limited to 150 °C, with absolute maximum ratings including −50 V VCBO and −5 V VEBO.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCEO | −45 V - Maximum safe collector-emitter voltage with base open; defines off-state blocking capability in switching applications. |
| IC | −500 mA - Continuous DC collector current rating; sets upper limit for steady-state load drive in amplifier or switch configurations. |
| hFE | 100–250 - DC current gain range at VCE = −1 V, IC = −100 mA; determines required base drive for predictable saturation or linear operation. |
| VCE(sat) | −700 mV max - Collector-emitter voltage in hard saturation at IC = −500 mA / IB = −50 mA; directly impacts conduction loss and heat generation. |
| Ptot | 290 mW - Max power dissipation with 1 cm² copper pad; constrains usable IC×VCE product in thermally constrained PCB layouts. |
| fT | 80 MHz - Transition frequency at VCE = −5 V, IC = −10 mA; indicates usable bandwidth for small-signal amplification up to ~10 MHz. |
| Cc | 5 pF typ - Collector capacitance at VCB = −10 V; influences high-frequency response and switching speed in RF-adjacent or fast-switching designs. |
Pinout & Package
SOT323 (SC-70) plastic surface-mounted package: ultra-compact 3-lead outline with 0.65 mm lead pitch, 2.2 mm × 1.35 mm footprint, and 0.95 mm max height - optimized for high-density PCB assembly and reflow soldering.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Base (B) | Current-controlled input node; requires −50 mA typical base drive to saturate at −500 mA collector load. |
| 2 | Emitter (E) | Common terminal for PNP configuration; connected to higher potential rail in switching topologies. |
| 3 | Collector (C) | Output current path; sinks current from load to emitter when base is biased negatively relative to emitter. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Three hFE bins | BC807-16W (100–250), BC807-25W (160–400), BC807-40W (250–600) - enables precise gain matching across production batches for consistent biasing. |
| Low VCE(sat) | −700 mV max at IC/IB = 10 - reduces power loss and self-heating during sustained switching, improving efficiency in portable devices. |
| High VCBO | −50 V - supports robust operation in 24 V industrial control rails with margin against transients and inductive kickback. |
| Thermal derating support | Rth(j-a) = 431 K/W with 1 cm² pad - allows predictable power handling up to 125 °C ambient when using enhanced copper layout. |
| SC-70 footprint compatibility | Standardized JEDEC SOT323 land pattern - ensures drop-in replacement capability and compatibility with automated pick-and-place and reflow processes. |
Applications

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 | SOT23 package (larger footprint, 2.9 mm × 1.3 mm); identical electrical specs but higher Rth(j-a) (700 K/W standard). | Less suitable for ultra-dense layouts; better thermal margin only with larger copper area. | Select when board space permits and legacy SOT23 tooling is preferred over SC-70 placement accuracy. |
| MMBT3906LT1G | hFE = 100–300 (wider spread); VCEO = −40 V; VCE(sat) = −400 mV min (less guaranteed at high IC). | Lower saturation voltage at light loads, but reduced blocking margin and less predictable gain at −500 mA. | Prefer for low-IC (<100 mA) logic inversion where tighter VCE(sat) tolerance is critical. |
Compared with BC807-16,115, the BC807-16W offers 30% smaller footprint and 12% lower thermal resistance on standard FR4; versus MMBT3906LT1G, it delivers superior VCEO margin and tighter hFE binning-making it optimal for space-constrained 24 V industrial switches requiring repeatable saturation behavior.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous collector current for BC807-16W?
The BC807-16W is rated for −500 mA continuous collector current at Tamb = 25 °C with standard FR4 PCB mounting. Derating applies above 25 °C ambient per Fig. 1 in the datasheet: power dissipation drops linearly to zero at 150 °C junction temperature, limiting usable IC in high-temperature environments.
Can BC807-16W replace BC807-16 in existing designs?
Yes, BC807-16W is a direct functional replacement for BC807-16 with identical electrical specifications, but uses the smaller SOT323 (SC-70) package instead of SOT23. Layout redesign is required due to different footprint and thermal pad requirements; solder profile must be adjusted for SC-70 reflow compatibility.
What is the typical transition frequency (fT) of BC807-16W?
The BC807-16W has a minimum transition frequency of 80 MHz, measured at VCE = −5 V, IC = −10 mA, and f = 100 MHz. This supports small-signal amplification up to ~10 MHz with stable gain, making it suitable for audio preamps and low-speed signal conditioning-not RF or high-speed digital applications.
How does the hFE binning affect circuit design?
The "16" in BC807-16W denotes hFE = 100–250 at VCE = −1 V and IC = −100 mA. Designers must size base resistors assuming worst-case gain (100) for saturation and verify bias stability at best-case (250) to avoid unintended cutoff or excessive base current in linear operation.
