Product details

Overview

BC807-25LR from Nexperia is a PNP general-purpose bipolar junction transistor (BJT) in SOT23 (TO-236AB) package, rated for −45 V V_CEO, −500 mA I_C, and DC current gain (h_FE) of 160–400 at V_CE = −1 V and I_C = −100 mA. It serves as a low-voltage switching or linear amplification device in compact power management and signal conditioning circuits.

For engineers reviewing the BC807-25LR datasheet, BC807-25LR pinout, BC807-25LR application, or BC807-25LR equivalent, key selection criteria include its AEC-Q101 qualification, SOT23 thermal resistance (500 K/W), −700 mV V_CE(sat) at −500 mA/−50 mA drive, and guaranteed h_FE binning for predictable bias design in automotive body electronics and industrial control interfaces.

Technical Context

This PNP BJT operates with open-base collector-emitter breakdown voltage of −45 V and emitter-base breakdown voltage of −7 V, enabling robust operation in negative-rail switching topologies. Its pulsed h_FE range (160–400) is specified under short-pulse conditions (t_p ≤ 300 μs, duty δ ≤ 0.02), ensuring stable gain behavior in digital switching applications.

The device exhibits −1.2 V V_BE at −500 mA collector current and −1 V V_CE, supporting reliable saturation in low-impedance load drives. Thermal resistance from junction to ambient is 500 K/W when mounted on FR4 PCB with single-sided copper, defining maximum continuous power dissipation at 250 mW.

Key Specifications

Parameter	Value and Actual Design Meaning
V_CEO	−45 V - Maximum safe collector-emitter voltage with base open; defines rail compatibility in negative-supply logic and driver stages.
I_C	−500 mA - Continuous DC collector current rating; supports medium-power load switching without forced cooling.
h_FE	160–400 - Guaranteed DC current gain range at V_CE = −1 V, I_C = −100 mA; enables precise base resistor calculation for predictable turn-on.
V_CE(sat)	−700 mV max at I_C = −500 mA, I_B = −50 mA - Low saturation voltage minimizes conduction loss in high-duty-cycle switches.
P_tot	250 mW - Total power dissipation on FR4 PCB; sets thermal derating limit for ambient temperatures up to +85 °C.
f_T	80 MHz - Transition frequency at V_CE = −5 V, I_C = −10 mA; supports audio-frequency amplification and fast digital switching.

Pinout & Package

SOT23 (TO-236AB) plastic surface-mount package with 3 leads; footprint compatible with standard reflow and wave soldering per Nexperia's recommended land patterns (SOT023_FR/SOT023_FW).

Pin	Circuit Role	Design Meaning
1	Base	Control terminal for forward-biased PNP operation; requires negative current relative to emitter to enable conduction.
2	Emitter	Current source terminal in PNP configuration; connected to higher potential rail (e.g., V_CC or battery positive) in common-emitter switches.
3	Collector	Current sink terminal; delivers load current to ground or lower-potential node when saturated, enabling active-low output control.

Key Features

Feature	Design Value
AEC-Q101 qualified	Validated for automotive applications including body control modules and lighting drivers per stress test requirements for discrete semiconductors.
Three h_FE bins	BC807-25LR provides mid-range gain (160–400), enabling consistent bias point selection across production lots without recalculating base resistors.
Low V_CE(sat)	−700 mV max ensures <1.5 W power loss at 2 A switched current (with external gain stage), critical for thermally constrained PCB layouts.
High V_CEO margin	−45 V rating exceeds typical 12 V/24 V automotive and industrial supply transients, reducing need for clamping protection.

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 electrical specs and SOT23 package; differs only in tape-and-reel packaging (115 vs LR suffix denotes different reel size and orientation).	No functional difference; identical performance in circuit; selected based on assembly line feeder compatibility.	Choose BC807-25,115 for high-volume SMT lines using 7″ reels; BC807-25LR uses 13″ reels with different component orientation marking.
MMBT2907ALT1G (onsemi)	−60 V V_CEO, −600 mA I_C, h_FE 100–300; slightly higher voltage rating but narrower gain range and no AEC-Q101 certification.	Acceptable in non-automotive industrial controls where transient immunity beyond −45 V is required, but not validated for automotive temperature cycling.	Select only if −60 V margin is mandatory and AEC-Q101 compliance is unnecessary; verify V_CE(sat) (−850 mV typ.) meets thermal budget.

Compared with BC807-25LR, BC807-25,115 offers identical electrical behavior and automotive qualification but differs in packaging logistics, while MMBT2907ALT1G trades AEC-Q101 validation and tighter h_FE control for higher voltage headroom-making it suitable only where qualification is secondary to absolute breakdown rating.

FAQ

What is the maximum operating temperature for BC807-25LR?

The BC807-25LR has a maximum junction temperature (T_j) of 150 °C and an ambient operating range of −55 °C to +150 °C. Its thermal resistance (R_th(j-a)) is 500 K/W on FR4 PCB, meaning at 25 °C ambient, full 250 mW power dissipation raises junction temperature by 125 K-reaching 150 °C. Derating is required above 25 °C ambient to maintain T_j ≤ 150 °C.

Is BC807-25LR pin-compatible with BC807-16LR or BC807-40LR?

Yes-BC807-25LR shares identical SOT23 pinout (Pin 1 = Base, Pin 2 = Emitter, Pin 3 = Collector) and mechanical footprint with BC807-16LR and BC807-40LR. The only difference is DC current gain binning (160–400 vs. 100–250 or 250–600), allowing direct substitution where gain tolerance permits.

Does BC807-25LR support pulsed operation beyond its DC ratings?

Yes-peak collector current (I_CM) is rated at −1 A for single pulses ≤1 ms, and h_FE is characterized under pulsed conditions (t_p ≤ 300 μs, δ ≤ 0.02). This allows brief overload handling in motor startup or relay coil energization, provided average power remains within 250 mW and thermal mass prevents junction overheating.

How does the AEC-Q101 qualification impact BC807-25LR's use in non-automotive designs?

AEC-Q101 qualification subjects BC807-25LR to accelerated stress tests (e.g., temperature cycling, humidity bias, HTRB) exceeding industrial standards, resulting in higher infant mortality screening and proven long-term reliability. In non-automotive applications, this translates to extended field life, reduced warranty claims, and suitability for harsh environments like factory floors or outdoor equipment-even without formal automotive program involvement.
