Product details
Overview
BC807-16W-QF 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. It operates across −65 °C to +150 °C ambient range and is AEC-Q101 qualified for automotive use in low-power switching and linear amplification circuits.
For engineers reviewing the BC807-16W-QF datasheet, BC807-16W-QF pinout, BC807-16W-QF application, or BC807-16W-QF equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, thermal derating behavior, SOT323 footprint details, and automotive-grade reliability context - all confirmed from Nexperia's official Rev. 1 (June 2021) product data sheet.
Technical Context
This discrete PNP BJT functions as a current-controlled switch or small-signal amplifier with base-emitter turn-on voltage of −1.2 V at IC = −500 mA and collector-emitter saturation voltage of −700 mV under same conditions. Its transition frequency fT is 80 MHz at VCE = −5 V, IC = −10 mA, enabling operation in audio-frequency and low-speed digital switching applications.
Thermal resistance from junction-to-ambient is 625 K/W on standard FR4 PCB (single-sided copper), dropping to 431 K/W with enhanced 1 cm² collector pad. Power dissipation is limited to 200 mW at Tamb ≤ 25 °C, derating linearly above that temperature per Figure 1.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCEO | −45 V: Maximum safe collector-emitter voltage with base open; defines high-side switch headroom in 36 V automotive systems. |
| IC | −500 mA: Continuous DC collector current rating; supports relay drivers and LED load switches up to ~200 mW power handling. |
| hFE | 100–250 @ VCE = −1 V, IC = −100 mA: Confirmed DC current gain range for stable bias design in Class-A amplifiers or saturated-switch configurations. |
| VCE(sat) | −700 mV @ IC = −500 mA, IB = −50 mA: Low saturation voltage ensures <100 mW conduction loss in switching mode at full rated current. |
| fT | 80 MHz @ VCE = −5 V, IC = −10 mA: Enables reliable operation in audio preamps and sub-MHz logic-level signal inversion without phase degradation. |
| Rth(j-a) | 625 K/W (standard FR4): Thermal impedance determines junction temperature rise of ~125 °C at full 200 mW dissipation - critical for layout thermal relief planning. |
| AEC-Q101 | Qualified: Meets stress-test requirements for automotive discrete semiconductors, including temperature cycling, HTRB, and ESD robustness. |
Pinout & Package
SOT323 (SC-70) plastic surface-mounted package with 3 leads; dimensions per Figure 16: 2.2 mm × 1.35 mm × 0.95 mm (L × W × H), 0.65 mm lead pitch, and 0.25 mm maximum thickness. Designed for reflow soldering per footprint in Figure 17.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Base (B) | Current-controlled input node; requires ≥−50 mA drive for full saturation at −500 mA collector load. |
| 2 | Emitter (E) | Common reference terminal; connected to higher potential rail in PNP high-side switch configuration. |
| 3 | Collector (C) | Output current path; electrically tied to load and ground in typical common-emitter switching topology. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Three hFE selections | BC807-16W-QF (100–250), BC807-25W-QF (160–400), BC807-40W-QF (250–600) enable precise gain matching in production batches. |
| AEC-Q101 qualification | Validated for automotive underhood environments including 1000-cycle temperature cycling (−40 °C to +125 °C) and 1000-hr high-temp reverse bias. |
| Low VCE(sat) | −700 mV at IC/IB = 10 ensures <10% voltage drop across transistor in saturated switching - critical for 5 V and 3.3 V logic-compatible loads. |
| Small-footprint SOT323 | 0.95 mm height and 2.2 mm length allow dense placement in space-constrained modules such as body control units and sensor interface PCBs. |
| High breakdown voltage | VCBO = −50 V and VEBO = −5 V provide margin against transients and ESD events in 12 V/24 V vehicle electrical systems. |
Applications
| Automotive Door Module Switching | Industrial Sensor Signal Conditioning |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| BC807-16W | No "-QF" suffix; standard industrial grade, not AEC-Q101 qualified. | Lacks automotive stress-test validation; unsuitable for safety-critical or underhood deployments. | Select only for cost-sensitive consumer electronics where extended temperature and reliability testing are unnecessary. |
| MMBT3906LT1G | Same SOT23 package but lower IC (−200 mA), higher VCE(sat) (−300 mV @ −50 mA), and no AEC-Q101 certification. | Insufficient current drive for automotive relay coils; limited thermal margin in continuous operation. | Acceptable only for low-power signal inversion in non-automotive PCBs where footprint compatibility is prioritized over performance. |
Compared with BC807-16W-QF, BC807-16W lacks automotive qualification and long-term reliability validation, while MMBT3906LT1G trades current capability and thermal robustness for legacy SOT23 compatibility - making BC807-16W-QF the sole choice for AEC-compliant, high-current PNP switching in compact layouts.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable junction temperature for BC807-16W-QF?
The absolute maximum junction temperature (Tj) is 150 °C, as specified in Table 6 of the Nexperia datasheet. This limit applies under all operating conditions, and sustained operation above this value risks permanent device failure. Derating curves in Figure 1 confirm usable power dissipation drops to zero at 150 °C ambient when mounted on standard FR4 PCB.
Does BC807-16W-QF support wave soldering?
Yes - the SOT323 package is qualified for both reflow and wave soldering. Figure 18 provides the recommended wave soldering footprint: 3.65 mm × 2.1 mm land pattern with 1.425 mm × 0.55 mm solder pads per lead and 2.575 mm center-to-center spacing. Lead-free process compatibility is confirmed per JEDEC J-STD-020.
How does the hFE of BC807-16W-QF vary with temperature?
hFE increases with rising temperature: Figure 4 shows typical gain rising from ~150 at −55 °C to ~220 at 25 °C and ~300 at 150 °C (at IC = −100 mA). Designers must account for this positive thermal coefficient in bias-stable amplifier circuits - emitter degeneration resistors are recommended to prevent thermal runaway.
Is the marking code "5A%" unique to BC807-16W-QF?
Yes - per Table 5, "5A%" is the exclusive top-side laser marking for BC807-16W-QF, where "%" is a placeholder for the manufacturing site code. This distinguishes it from BC807-25W-QF (5B%), BC807-40W-QF (5C%), and BC807W-Q (5D%), enabling unambiguous visual identification on assembled PCBs.
