Product details

Overview

BC807-25LWX from Nexperia is a PNP general-purpose bipolar junction transistor in SOT323 (SC-70) package, rated for −45 V V_CEO, −500 mA I_C, and 160–400 h_FE at V_CE = −1 V and I_C = −100 mA. It delivers low V_CE(sat) of −700 mV at I_C = −500 mA / I_B = −50 mA and supports automotive-grade switching in power management and signal amplification circuits.

For engineers reviewing the BC807-25LWX datasheet, BC807-25LWX pinout, BC807-25LWX application, or BC807-25LWX equivalent, this page provides verified pin configuration, thermal resistance (625 K/W), AEC-Q101 qualification status, saturation voltage behavior across temperature, and validated alternatives for discrete PNP switching in space-constrained PCBs.

Technical Context

This PNP BJT operates with open-base collector-emitter breakdown of −45 V and emitter-base breakdown of −7 V, supporting reliable cutoff and active-region biasing in low-voltage DC control paths. Its pulsed h_FE range (160–400) is specified under T_j ≤ 150 °C and pulse conditions (t_p ≤ 300 μs, duty δ ≤ 0.02), enabling stable gain in intermittent load switching.

Thermal performance is defined for FR4 PCB mounting: R_th(j-a) = 625 K/W in free air, limiting continuous dissipation to 200 mW at T_amb ≤ 25 °C. Saturation characteristics are validated at I_C/I_B = 10, with V_BE(sat) ≤ −1.2 V and R_CE(sat) < 2 Ω at −500 mA - critical for minimizing conduction loss in driver stages.

Key Specifications

Parameter	Value and Actual Design Meaning
V_CEO	−45 V: Maximum safe collector-emitter voltage with base open; defines upper rail limit in high-side switch designs.
I_C	−500 mA continuous: Rated collector current for sustained operation without derating at T_amb ≤ 25 °C.
h_FE	160–400 at V_CE = −1 V, I_C = −100 mA: Confirmed DC current gain range enabling predictable base drive sizing.
V_CE(sat)	−700 mV max at I_C = −500 mA, I_B = −50 mA: Ensures <0.35 W conduction loss in saturated switching applications.
P_tot	200 mW at T_amb ≤ 25 °C: Absolute thermal limit for SOT323 package on standard FR4; requires layout-aware derating above 25 °C.
R_th(j-a)	625 K/W: Junction-to-ambient thermal resistance in free air; determines temperature rise per watt dissipated.
AEC-Q101	Qualified: Validated for automotive electronics per stress test standard; supports under-hood and body-control use.

Pinout & Package

SOT323 (SC-70) plastic surface-mounted package with 3 leads; compact 2.2 mm × 1.35 mm footprint and 0.95 mm height ideal for dense consumer and automotive PCB layouts.

Pin/Terminal	Circuit Role	Design Meaning
1	Base (B)	Control input node; requires current-limited drive to achieve target I_C; polarity-sensitive for PNP turn-on (negative bias relative to emitter).
2	Emitter (E)	Common reference terminal; connected to higher potential rail in high-side switch configurations; carries full load current.
3	Collector (C)	Output node; sinks current to lower-potential load or ground; voltage swing limited by V_CEO rating (−45 V).

Key Features

Feature	Design Value
Three h_FE variants	BC807-16L/W (100–250), BC807-25L/W (160–400), BC807-40L/W (250–600): Enables precise gain matching across production batches and design revisions.
AEC-Q101 qualification	Validated for automotive ambient temperature range (−40 °C to +150 °C) and mechanical stress; eliminates requalification effort for Tier 1 suppliers.
Low V_CE(sat)	≤ −700 mV at I_C = −500 mA ensures <0.35 W conduction loss in 5 V/12 V logic-level driven switches.
SOT323 thermal profile	R_th(j-a) = 625 K/W enables 200 mW dissipation on minimal copper area - reduces PCB layer count vs. larger packages.
JEDEC SC-70 compatibility	Standardized footprint allows drop-in replacement with other SC-70 PNP transistors and simplifies stencil design for reflow soldering.

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
BC807-25LT	SOT23 package (TO-236AB); R_th(j-a) = 500 K/W; P_tot = 250 mW; identical electrical specs.	Better thermal performance on standard FR4; requires larger PCB footprint (3.0 mm × 1.4 mm vs. 2.2 mm × 1.35 mm).	Select when board layout allows SOT23 and higher continuous power (250 mW) is needed at moderate ambient temperatures.
MMBT2907ALT1G	Onsemi part; h_FE = 100–300; V_CEO = −60 V; V_CE(sat) = −1.6 V @ −500 mA; not AEC-Q101 qualified.	Higher voltage margin but higher saturation loss; lacks automotive qualification and tighter h_FE binning.	Acceptable for industrial non-automotive use where −60 V rating is required and AEC-Q101 is not mandated.

Compared with BC807-25LWX, BC807-25LT offers +50 mW power handling and lower thermal resistance in a larger package, while MMBT2907ALT1G trades AEC-Q101 compliance and low V_CE(sat) for extended voltage capability - making BC807-25LWX optimal for space-constrained automotive switching where thermal and gain consistency are prioritized.

FAQ

What is the maximum allowable junction temperature for BC807-25LWX?

The absolute maximum junction temperature (T_j) is 150 °C, as defined in the Limiting Values table. Operation beyond this threshold risks permanent degradation of h_FE and increased leakage. Derating is required above T_amb = 25 °C using R_th(j-a) = 625 K/W - e.g., at 70 °C ambient, max continuous power drops to ~120 mW.

Is BC807-25LWX pin-compatible with BC807-25LT?

Yes - both share identical pinout (1 = Base, 2 = Emitter, 3 = Collector) and electrical specifications, but differ in package: BC807-25LWX uses SOT323 (SC-70), while BC807-25LT uses SOT23 (TO-236AB). Footprint and thermal performance differ, so PCB layout must be adjusted for the chosen variant.

Does BC807-25LWX 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 specified under pulsed conditions (t_p ≤ 300 μs, δ ≤ 0.02). This enables short-duration surge handling in relay drivers and motor commutation circuits without thermal runaway.

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

AEC-Q101 qualification confirms enhanced robustness against temperature cycling, humidity, mechanical shock, and ESD - beneficial even in industrial or medical applications requiring high reliability. It does not restrict usage; rather, it provides documented margin beyond standard JEDEC requirements, reducing field failure risk in demanding environments.
