Product details

Overview

BC807-16W/MIX from Nexperia is a PNP bipolar junction transistor in SOT323 (SC-70) 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, I_C = −100 mA. It serves as a general-purpose switching and amplification device in low-power analog and digital interface circuits, including level-shifting stages in microcontroller I/O drivers.

For engineers reviewing the BC807-16W/MIX datasheet, BC807-16W/MIX pinout, BC807-16W/MIX application, or BC807-16W/MIX equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, thermal derating behavior, base-emitter saturation voltage under load, collector-emitter saturation voltage at rated current, and validated alternatives for discrete PNP switching in space-constrained PCB layouts.

Technical Context

The BC807-16W/MIX operates as a silicon PNP BJT with fixed gain binning (100–250), optimized for linear amplification and saturated switching in ambient temperatures from −65 °C to 150 °C. Its junction-to-ambient thermal resistance is 625 K/W on standard FR4 PCBs, enabling reliable operation up to 290 mW total power dissipation with appropriate copper area.

It exhibits V_BE(sat) ≤ −1.2 V and V_CE(sat) ≤ −700 mV at I_C = −500 mA and I_B = −50 mA, supporting robust turn-on in low-voltage logic-driven loads. The device features −5 V V_EBO, −50 V V_CBO, and 80 MHz f_T, confirming suitability for audio-frequency amplification and sub-MHz switching.

Key Specifications

Parameter	Value and Actual Design Meaning
V_CEO	−45 V - Maximum safe collector-emitter voltage before breakdown in open-base configuration
I_C	−500 mA - Continuous DC collector current rating at 25 °C ambient, defining maximum steady-state load drive capability
h_FE	100–250 - Confirmed DC current gain range at V_CE = −1 V, I_C = −100 mA, used for base bias calculation accuracy
V_CE(sat)	≤ −700 mV - Collector-emitter saturation voltage at I_C = −500 mA / I_B = −50 mA, directly determining conduction loss in switch mode
f_T	80 MHz - Transition frequency at V_CE = −5 V, I_C = −10 mA, indicating usable bandwidth for small-signal amplification
P_tot	290 mW - Maximum power dissipation with 1 cm² collector pad on FR4, setting thermal design margin for continuous operation
C_c	5 pF - Collector capacitance at V_CB = −10 V, influencing high-frequency response and switching speed in capacitive-loaded circuits

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: PNP switch providing inverted, current-amplified interface between MCU GPIO and relay coil anode.

Use Value: V_CE(sat) ≤ −700 mV ensures >11.3 V remains across relay coil at 50 mA, guaranteeing reliable pull-in without added driver IC.

Use Scenario: Controlling LED status indicators or buzzer elements from battery-powered portable devices operating down to 2.5 V.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-side PNP current source delivering regulated current to indicator LEDs in common-cathode configurations.

Use Value: h_FE ≥ 100 allows 5 µA base current to drive 500 µA LED current, extending battery life while maintaining visibility.

Audio Signal Amplifier Stage

Power Supply Enable Switch

Use Scenario: First-stage preamplifier in portable audio codecs handling line-level signals up to 1 V_PP at 20 kHz.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Common-emitter amplifier with emitter degeneration resistor for stable gain and distortion control.

Use Value: −45 V V_CEO and −500 mA I_C safely handle inrush currents during LDO startup without latch-up or secondary breakdown.

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	Same electrical specs but in larger SOT23 package (2.9 × 1.3 mm vs. 1.8 × 1.3 mm); 300 mW P_tot vs. 290 mW	Less suitable for ultra-dense layouts; better thermal performance on minimal copper due to larger pad area	Select when board real estate permits and thermal margin is prioritized over miniaturization
MMBT3906LT1G	h_FE = 100–300 (wider spread); V_CEO = −40 V; V_CE(sat) = −400 mV @ I_C = −100 mA (not rated at −500 mA)	Lower saturation voltage at light loads but unverified at full 500 mA; not recommended for high-current switching	Select only for low-current (<100 mA) amplification or switching where tighter gain control is needed

Compared with BC807-16W/MIX, BC807-16 trades size for slightly better thermal headroom, while MMBT3906LT1G offers finer gain tuning at reduced current capability-making BC807-16W/MIX optimal for space-constrained 500 mA PNP switching where consistent saturation voltage and proven SOT323 reliability are required.

FAQ

What is the maximum continuous collector current for BC807-16W/MIX at 70 °C ambient?

At Tamb = 70 °C, the maximum continuous collector current is derated to approximately −375 mA, calculated using the 290 mW P_tot rating and thermal resistance of 625 K/W on standard FR4. This ensures junction temperature remains below 150 °C under sustained load conditions.

Does BC807-16W/MIX support automotive applications?

No. BC807-16W/MIX is explicitly non-automotive qualified per Nexperia's revision history (v.8, July 2022). It lacks AEC-Q101 qualification, automotive-grade testing, and guaranteed PPAP documentation. For automotive use, Nexperia recommends the BC807-16Q series with full AEC-Q101 compliance.

How does the h_FE binning affect circuit design?

The 100–250 h_FE range requires base bias networks to accommodate worst-case gain: designs must ensure sufficient base current for h_FE = 100 while avoiding excessive base drive at h_FE = 250. Typical practice uses emitter degeneration or feedback to stabilize operating point across the bin.

Can BC807-16W/MIX replace BC807-25W in existing designs?

Only if the circuit operates within the lower h_FE range. BC807-25W has 160–400 h_FE, offering higher minimum gain and improved consistency at moderate currents. Substituting BC807-16W may cause marginal biasing or reduced noise immunity in amplifier stages relying on minimum h_FE ≥ 160.
