Product details
Overview
BC807-25B5003 from Nexperia is a PNP silicon general-purpose audio-frequency transistor with hFE = 160–250 at IC = 100 mA, VCE = 1 V; VCEO = 45 V; IC = 500 mA continuous; VCE(sat) ≤ 0.7 V at IC = 500 mA, IB = 50 mA; packaged in SOT23. It serves as a low-voltage switching and linear amplification device in power management and signal conditioning stages of industrial control modules.
For engineers reviewing the BC807-25B5003 datasheet, BC807-25B5003 pinout, BC807-25B5003 application, or BC807-25B5003 equivalent, key selection criteria include DC current gain group (hFE-grp. 25), thermal resistance (RthJS ≤ 215 K/W), saturation voltage performance under high-current drive, and AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive-grade reliability.
Technical Context
This PNP bipolar junction transistor operates in active, saturation, and cutoff regions for analog amplification and digital switching. Its hFE group 25 ensures predictable current amplification across IC = 10 mA to 500 mA at VCE = 1 V, with fT = 200 MHz enabling stable operation up to mid-RF frequencies in oscillator and driver circuits.
Designed for surface-mount use in space-constrained PCBs, it features complementary NPN pairing with BC817-25/BC817-25W and meets RoHS compliance with Pb-free SOT23 packaging. Thermal derating follows a defined Ptot vs. TS curve, supporting reliable operation up to Tj = 150 °C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCEO | 45 V - Maximum safe collector-emitter voltage before breakdown in open-base configuration |
| IC (continuous) | 500 mA - Continuous collector current rating defining usable load-driving capability |
| hFE (min–max) | 160–250 at IC = 100 mA, VCE = 1 V - Confirmed DC current gain range for bias design and gain stability |

Use Value: Tight hFE grouping (160–250) and low ICBO (<0.1 µA) ensure stable current ratio and low offset drift over temperature. |
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| BC807-25,115 (Nexperia) | Same die, identical hFE group and electrical specs; differs only in tape-and-reel packaging code | No functional difference; suitable for identical PCB layouts and thermal environments | Select when standard reel packaging (10,000 pcs/reel) is required instead of custom B5003 variant |
| MMBT807 (ON Semiconductor) | hFE min = 100 (vs. 160), VCEO = 45 V, RthJS = 250 K/W - lower gain and higher thermal resistance | Acceptable in non-critical switching where base drive margin exists; not recommended for precision current mirrors | Choose only if BC807-25B5003 is unavailable and design allows 40% hFE reduction and 16% thermal penalty |
Compared with BC807-25B5003, BC807-25,115 offers identical performance in standard packaging, while MMBT807 trades gain and thermal efficiency for broader legacy availability-making the former ideal for drop-in continuity and the latter a fallback requiring design validation.

FAQ
Is BC807-25B5003 pin-compatible with BC807-25,115?
Yes, BC807-25B5003 and BC807-25,115 share identical SOT23 pinout (Emitter–Base–Collector on pins 1–2–3), same die, and identical electrical specifications. The "B5003" suffix denotes a specific tape-and-reel packaging configuration (e.g., 3,000 pcs/reel, custom orientation), not a functional variant.
What is the maximum allowable base current for continuous operation?
The absolute maximum rated base current is 100 mA, but for reliable continuous operation with IC = 500 mA, the datasheet specifies IB = 50 mA to achieve VCE(sat) ≤ 0.7 V. Exceeding 50 mA does not improve saturation and risks accelerated degradation under thermal stress.
Can BC807-25B5003 replace BC808-25 in a 25 V circuit?
No-BC808-25 has VCEO = 25 V and is optimized for lower-voltage systems. BC807-25B5003 has VCEO = 45 V and higher leakage (ICBO) at elevated voltage. Substituting it into a 25 V design may cause unnecessary overdesign and mismatched hFE temperature behavior.
Does BC807-25B5003 support pulsed operation beyond 500 mA?
Yes-peak collector current ICM is rated at 1000 mA for pulse widths <300 µs and duty cycle <2%. This enables short-duration surge handling in motor commutation or ESD protection clamping, provided average power remains within Ptot = 330 mW limits.
