Product details
Overview
BC807-16WE6327 from Infineon Technologies is a PNP silicon general-purpose audio-frequency transistor with VCEO = 45 V, IC = 500 mA, hFE = 100–160 (at IC = 100 mA, VCE = 1 V), VCE(sat) ≤ 0.7 V (at IC = 500 mA, IB = 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 hFE group 16 performance across temperature, AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive-grade reliability, low VCE(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 (hFE = 100–160) and thermal derating curves for both standard (BC807) and wide-temperature (BC807W) variants. Its fT = 200 MHz supports moderate-speed switching up to ~10 MHz in practical designs.
The device features low VBE(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 |
|---|---|
| VCEO | 45 V - Maximum allowable collector-emitter voltage before breakdown; supports 24 V system rails with 88% headroom |
| IC | 500 mA continuous - Sustains typical relay coil, small solenoid, or multi-LED string loads without heatsinking |
| hFE | 100–160 @ IC = 100 mA - Predictable current amplification for stable biasing in emitter-follower or switch configurations |
| VCE(sat) | ≤ 0.7 V @ IC = 500 mA, IB = 50 mA - Limits power loss to ≤350 mW during saturation, reducing thermal stress |
| fT | 200 MHz - Enables clean switching edges in PWM-driven loads up to 10 MHz with controlled rise/fall times |
| RthJS | ≤ 80 K/W - Junction-to-solder-point thermal resistance allows 250 mW dissipation at TS ≤ 130 °C |
| Tj | 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 |
| hFE group 16 | Narrow DC current gain band ensures consistent switching thresholds and reduced binning in production |
| Low VCE(sat) | ≤0.7 V at rated IC 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 hFE group and VCEO, but SOT-23 package (larger footprint, higher RthJA) | 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 (ICM = 1 A) is prioritized over size |
| MMBT3906 | Lower IC = 200 mA, lower VCEO = 40 V, hFE = 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 hFE 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 TA = 85 °C, derated power dissipation is ~150 mW (per RthJA curve). With VCE(sat) ≈ 0.65 V, maximum continuous IC 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-hFE 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 ICM = 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 RthJS ≤ 80 K/W and solder-point temperature.
