Product details

Overview

BC807-25W,115 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 160–400 at V_CE = −1 V and 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 and LED current control in portable instrumentation.

For engineers reviewing the BC807-25W,115 datasheet, BC807-25W,115 pinout, BC807-25W,115 application, or BC807-25W,115 equivalent, key selection criteria include its guaranteed h_FE range, low V_CE(sat) of ≤ −700 mV at I_C = −500 mA / I_B = −50 mA, thermal resistance of 431 K/W on FR4 with 1 cm² collector pad, and SC-70 footprint compatibility with space-constrained PCB layouts.

Technical Context

This PNP transistor operates in active and saturation regions with defined breakdown limits: −50 V V_CBO, −45 V V_CEO, and −5 V V_EBO. Its pulsed peak collector current reaches −1 A (t_p ≤ 1 ms), supporting transient load switching in power management blocks.

Thermal performance is characterized by two R_th(j-a) values: 625 K/W on standard FR4 footprint and 431 K/W with enhanced 1 cm² collector pad-enabling design flexibility for ambient temperature ranges from −65 °C to 150 °C.

Key Specifications

Parameter	Value and Actual Design Meaning
V_CEO	−45 V: Maximum safe collector-emitter voltage with base open; defines maximum supply rail compatibility in high-side switch configurations.
I_C	−500 mA continuous: Rated DC collector current at 25 °C; supports medium-current loads like relay coils or small solenoids.
h_FE	160–400 at V_CE = −1 V, I_C = −100 mA: Guaranteed DC current gain range ensures predictable base drive requirements across production lots.
V_CE(sat)	≤ −700 mV at I_C = −500 mA, I_B = −50 mA: Low saturation voltage minimizes conduction loss and self-heating in switching applications.
f_T	80 MHz at V_CE = −5 V, I_C = −10 mA: Transition frequency enables use in audio-frequency amplification and low-speed signal buffering.
P_tot	290 mW with 1 cm² collector pad: Maximum power dissipation under optimized PCB layout; derates linearly above 25 °C ambient.

Pinout & Package

SOT323 (SC-70) plastic surface-mounted package: 3-terminal, ultra-small outline (2.2 mm × 1.35 mm × 0.95 mm), optimized for high-density PCB assembly and reflow soldering per JEDEC J-STD-020.

Pin/Terminal	Circuit Role	Design Meaning
1	Base (B)	Current-controlled input node; requires series resistor to limit I_B and ensure reliable saturation or cutoff.
2	Emitter (E)	Common terminal for PNP operation; connected to higher potential (e.g., V_CC) in high-side switch topologies.
3	Collector (C)	Output current path; carries full load current when saturated; thermally coupled to PCB pad for heat dissipation.

Key Features

Feature	Design Value
Three h_FE selections	BC807-25W provides 160–400 gain, enabling precise base drive sizing without overdesign or excessive quiescent current.
Low V_CE(sat)	≤ −700 mV at rated I_C/I_B reduces power loss and improves efficiency in battery-powered switching nodes.
High V_CEO rating	−45 V supports operation across 24 V industrial rails and 36 V automotive auxiliary systems (non-automotive qualified).
SC-70 thermal optimization	431 K/W R_th(j-a) with 1 cm² collector pad allows sustained 300 mW operation up to +85 °C ambient in compact designs.

Applications

Industrial Sensor Interface

Microcontroller I/O Expansion

Use Scenario: Driving discrete LEDs or small relays from low-current GPIO pins of ARM Cortex-M or RISC-V microcontrollers.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: General-purpose PNP switch configured in common-emitter mode for high-side load control.

Use Value: ≤ −700 mV V_CE(sat) at −500 mA minimizes voltage drop and preserves headroom for 3.3 V logic-compatible loads.

Portable Audio Amplifier Stage

Power Supply Sequencing Control

Use Scenario: Complementary emitter-follower stage in Class-A headphone amplifier front-end with rail-to-rail output swing.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Linear-mode PNP transistor providing low-output-impedance buffering and current gain.

Use Scenario: Enabling/disabling downstream LDOs or DC-DC converters during system power-up using MCU-controlled enable signals.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-side switch controlling EN pin bias or pull-up network for sequenced voltage rails.

Use Value: −45 V V_CEO accommodates 24 V intermediate rails while −500 mA I_C handles typical enable current loads (<10 mA) with margin.

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	Same electrical specs but in larger SOT23 package; R_th(j-a) = 450 K/W (standard footprint)	Less suitable for ultra-dense layouts; better thermal margin in non-optimized PCBs	Select when board space permits and thermal derating is prioritized over miniaturization.
MMBT3906LT1G	Lower V_CEO (−40 V); h_FE 100–300; same SOT23 footprint but not SC-70 compatible	Not pin-compatible with SOT323; requires PCB redesign; lower voltage margin for 24 V systems	Choose only if legacy SOT23 footprint must be retained and −40 V rating suffices.

Compared with BC807-25,115, the BC807-25W,115 offers identical gain and voltage ratings in a 35% smaller footprint and improved thermal resistance on optimized pads; versus MMBT3906LT1G, it delivers higher V_CEO, tighter h_FE spread, and native SC-70 compatibility-making it superior for space- and performance-critical PNP switching.

FAQ

What is the maximum allowable junction temperature for BC807-25W,115?

The absolute maximum junction temperature (T_j) is 150 °C, as specified in the Limiting Values table. Operation beyond this threshold risks permanent degradation of h_FE, increased leakage, and accelerated failure. Derating curves in Figure 1 confirm power dissipation must be reduced linearly above 25 °C ambient to maintain T_j ≤ 150 °C.

Is BC807-25W,115 qualified for automotive applications?

No. Per Revision History section 13 and Legal Information section "Non-automotive qualified products", BC807-25W,115 is explicitly designated as non-automotive qualified. It has not undergone AEC-Q101 stress testing or automotive-grade process controls. For automotive use, Nexperia offers the −Q qualified variants (e.g., BC807-25W-Q), which are distinct orderable parts.

How does the marking code '5B%' correspond to BC807-25W?

The marking code '5B%' is the top-side laser marking for BC807-25W, where '5B' identifies the part variant and '%' is a placeholder for the manufacturing site code. This matches Table 5 in the datasheet and is verified on actual units supplied in tape-and-reel packaging per ordering code BC807-25W,115.

Can BC807-25W,115 replace BC807-16W in an existing design?

Yes, with verification. Both share identical package, pinout, and voltage/current ratings, but BC807-25W has higher minimum h_FE (160 vs. 100) and narrower gain spread (160–400 vs. 100–250). This may reduce required base drive current but could affect stability in linear amplifier configurations-confirm bias point and thermal behavior under worst-case gain extremes before substitution.
