Product details

Overview

BC807-16WE6327 from Infineon Technologies is a PNP silicon general-purpose audio-frequency transistor with V_CEO = 45 V, I_C = 500 mA, h_FE = 100–160 (at I_C = 100 mA, V_CE = 1 V), V_CE(sat) ≤ 0.7 V (at I_C = 500 mA, I_B = 50 mA), and SOT-323 package. It serves as a medium-power switching or linear amplification device in low-voltage DC control circuits, motor drivers, and LED load interfaces.

For engineers reviewing the BC807-16WE6327 datasheet, BC807-16WE6327 pinout, BC807-16WE6327 application, or BC807-16WE6327 equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed h_FE group 16 performance across temperature, AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive-grade reliability, low V_CE(sat) at high current, RoHS-compliant SOT-323 footprint, and complementary pairing with BC817 series NPN transistors.

Technical Context

This PNP bipolar junction transistor operates in active, saturation, and cutoff regions with defined DC gain grouping (h_FE = 100–160) and thermal derating curves for both standard (BC807) and wide-temperature (BC807W) variants. Its f_T = 200 MHz supports moderate-speed switching up to ~10 MHz in practical designs.

The device features low V_BE(sat) ≤ 1.2 V and tight V_(BR)CEO = 45 V specification, enabling robust operation in 24 V industrial control rails and battery-powered systems where base drive efficiency and collector voltage margin are critical.

Key Specifications

Parameter	Value and Actual Design Meaning
V_CEO	45 V - Maximum allowable collector-emitter voltage before breakdown; supports 24 V system rails with 88% headroom
I_C	500 mA continuous - Sustains typical relay coil, small solenoid, or multi-LED string loads without heatsinking
h_FE	100–160 @ I_C = 100 mA - Predictable current amplification for stable biasing in emitter-follower or switch configurations
V_CE(sat)	≤ 0.7 V @ I_C = 500 mA, I_B = 50 mA - Limits power loss to ≤350 mW during saturation, reducing thermal stress
f_T	200 MHz - Enables clean switching edges in PWM-driven loads up to 10 MHz with controlled rise/fall times
R_thJS	≤ 80 K/W - Junction-to-solder-point thermal resistance allows 250 mW dissipation at T_S ≤ 130 °C
T_j	150 °C maximum - Rated for under-hood automotive environments and industrial enclosures without forced cooling

Pinout & Package

Supplied in RoHS-compliant SOT-323 (SC-70) plastic surface-mount package, 1.3 mm × 2.1 mm × 0.95 mm, with gull-wing leads and 0.65 mm pitch.

Pin/Terminal	Circuit Role	Design Meaning
1 (Emitter)	E	Current sink node; connects to higher-potential rail in common-emitter switch configuration
2 (Base)	B	Control input; requires ~50 mA drive for full saturation at 500 mA collector load
3 (Collector)	C	Output node; ties to load (e.g., relay coil anode) and returns to ground through load

Key Features

Feature	Design Value
AEC-Q101 qualified	Validated for automotive electronics per stress test requirements including HTOL, TC, HTRB, and ESD
h_FE group 16	Narrow DC current gain band ensures consistent switching thresholds and reduced binning in production
Low V_CE(sat)	≤0.7 V at rated I_C minimizes conduction loss and improves efficiency in battery-fed applications
Complementary NPN pairing	Designed to match BC817-16W for push-pull, differential, or H-bridge topologies with matched gain and speed
SOT-323 footprint	Enables high-density PCB layouts and compatibility with automated pick-and-place equipment

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 h_FE group and V_CEO, but SOT-23 package (larger footprint, higher R_thJA)	Less suitable for ultra-dense layouts; thermal performance degrades above 100 mA in still air	Select when legacy SOT-23 assembly lines or higher pulse current capability (I_CM = 1 A) is prioritized over size
MMBT3906	Lower I_C = 200 mA, lower V_CEO = 40 V, h_FE = 100–300 (wider spread)	Not AEC-Q101 qualified; unsuitable for automotive or high-reliability industrial use	Acceptable only for cost-sensitive consumer-grade 5–12 V logic-level switching where gain variation is tolerable

Compared with BC807-16LT1G and MMBT3906, BC807-16WE6327 uniquely combines AEC-Q101 compliance, SOT-323 miniaturization, and guaranteed h_FE grouping-making it optimal for space-constrained, thermally managed, and automotive-qualified designs requiring predictable DC behavior.

FAQ

Is BC807-16WE6327 pin-compatible with BC807-16W?

Yes-both share identical SOT-323 package and pinout (Emitter-Base-Collector on pins 1-2-3). The "E6327" suffix denotes Infineon's tape-and-reel packaging standard (10,000 pcs/reel, 12 mm tape width) and does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility.

What is the maximum safe operating current at 85 °C ambient?

At T_A = 85 °C, derated power dissipation is ~150 mW (per R_thJA curve). With V_CE(sat) ≈ 0.65 V, maximum continuous I_C is approximately 230 mA to maintain junction temperature below 150 °C without heatsinking.

Can BC807-16WE6327 replace BC807-25 or BC807-40 in existing designs?

No-h_FE group 16 (100–160) differs significantly from group 25 (160–250) and group 40 (250–400). Substitution may cause insufficient drive in high-gain-dependent circuits or excessive base current in low-gain-tuned designs; verify bias network stability before replacement.

Does this part support pulsed operation beyond 500 mA?

Yes-peak collector current I_CM = 1000 mA is permitted for pulse widths ≤300 µs and duty cycle ≤2%, as confirmed by the datasheet's permissible pulse load curves. Thermal limits remain governed by R_thJS ≤ 80 K/W and solder-point temperature.
