Product details

Overview

BC807-40-7-F from Diodes Incorporated is a 45V PNP small-signal transistor in SOT23 package, rated for −50V V_CBO, −45V V_CEO, and −0.5A continuous collector current, with DC current gain (h_FE) of 250–600 at I_C = −100mA and V_CE = −1.0V, used in low-power switching and audio-frequency amplifier stages.

For engineers reviewing the BC807-40-7-F datasheet, BC807-40-7-F pinout, BC807-40-7-F application, or BC807-40-7-F equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed h_FE binning (−40 variant), SOT23 thermal resistance (R_θJA = 403°C/W on minimum pad layout), ESD robustness (4kV HBM), RoHS/Green compliance, and automotive-grade alternative (BC807-40Q).

Technical Context

This PNP bipolar junction transistor operates in active, saturation, and cutoff regions with verified gain-bandwidth product (f_T) of 100MHz at V_CE = −5.0V and I_C = −10mA, supporting AF amplification up to ~10MHz and fast-switching applications with V_CE(sat) ≤ −0.7V at I_C = −500mA/I_B = −50mA.

Its epitaxial planar die construction ensures stable h_FE across temperature (−55°C to +150°C), low leakage (I_CES ≤ −5.0µA at V_CE = −25V, T_J = +150°C), and compatibility with automated insertion and reflow soldering per J-STD-020 Level 1 moisture sensitivity.

Key Specifications

Parameter	Value and Actual Design Meaning
V_CEO	−45V - Maximum safe collector-emitter voltage before breakdown in common-emitter configuration.
h_FE (min–max)	250–600 - Guaranteed DC current gain range at I_C = −100mA/V_CE = −1.0V, enabling predictable bias design.
V_CE(sat)	≤ −0.7V - Low saturation voltage at high drive (I_C/I_B = 10), minimizing power loss in switching mode.
f_T	100MHz - Gain-bandwidth product confirming usable frequency response up to mid-MHz range for AF amplifiers.
R_θJA	403°C/W - Thermal resistance on minimal FR4 PCB, defining maximum power dissipation (310mW) at +25°C ambient.
ESD HBM	4,000V - Human Body Model rating ensuring robustness during handling and board assembly.

Pinout & Package

Package: SOT23 - Surface-mount plastic package with 3-pin configuration, 0.008g mass, UL 94V-0 flammability rating, and matte tin-plated leads compliant with MIL-STD-202.

Pin/Terminal	Circuit Role	Design Meaning
1 (Emitter)	Current sink terminal in PNP operation	Connected to higher potential node; defines reference for base control and collector current direction.
2 (Base)	Control input for minority-carrier injection	Receives negative bias current to turn on device; requires current-limiting resistor in linear/switching use.
3 (Collector)	Current source terminal in PNP operation	Supplies load current when saturated; tied to lower-potential rail (e.g., ground) in typical switch topology.

Key Features

Feature	Design Value
h_FE binning (−40 variant)	Guaranteed 250–600 gain range enables consistent bias point setting without post-manufacture sorting.
SOT23 footprint	Standardized 3-pin surface-mount outline supports high-density PCB layouts and automated assembly.
Lead-free & Green compliance	Halogen- and antimony-free formulation (<900ppm Br/Cl, <1000ppm Sb) meets RoHS 3 and automotive environmental requirements.
High-temperature operation	Rated for −55°C to +150°C junction temperature, supporting industrial and under-hood automotive environments.

Applications

LED Driver Circuit

Audio Pre-amplifier Stage

Use Scenario: Driving discrete LEDs in indicator or backlight circuits with PWM dimming.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: PNP switch controlling current path from supply rail to LED anode.

Use Value: Low V_CE(sat) (≤ −0.7V) minimizes voltage drop and heat generation at 100–500mA loads.

Use Scenario: First-stage amplification of microphone or sensor signals in portable audio devices.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Common-emitter small-signal amplifier with fixed bias network.

Use Value: High h_FE (250–600) ensures stable gain and low input current demand from weak signal sources.

Power Supply Enable Switch

Level Translation Interface

Use Scenario: Enabling/disabling auxiliary rails (e.g., 3.3V or 5V) in multi-rail embedded systems.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-side switch controlled by microcontroller GPIO.

Use Value: Verified −0.5A continuous rating and −1.0A peak capability support reliable rail sequencing.

Use Scenario: Translating logic levels between 5V microcontrollers and 3.3V peripherals.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Inverting level shifter using emitter-follower or common-base configuration.

Use Value: f_T = 100MHz ensures clean edge transitions up to ~10MHz clock/data rates.

Equivalent & Alternatives

The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar PNP small-signal transistor applications.

Alternative Part	Technical Difference	Application Difference	Selection Advice
BC807-40-7 (non-F)	Same electrical specs but lacks "fully RoHS 3" and "Green" certification (halogen/antimony content not controlled).	Not suitable for automotive or strict green-compliance programs requiring halogen-free materials.	Select BC807-40-7-F when full RoHS 3 and Green compliance are mandatory.
BC807-40Q	Automotive-qualified version with AEC-Q101 stress testing, same SOT23 package and pinout.	Required for under-hood or safety-critical automotive modules; includes extended temperature validation and PPAP support.	Choose BC807-40Q for automotive production; BC807-40-7-F suffices for industrial/commercial designs.

Compared with BC807-40-7 and BC807-40Q, the BC807-40-7-F delivers identical electrical performance with certified halogen/antimony-free materials-making it optimal for green-compliant industrial designs where automotive qualification is unnecessary.

FAQ

What is the difference between BC807-40-7-F and BC807-40-7?

The BC807-40-7-F is fully RoHS 3 and "Green" compliant (halogen- and antimony-free), while BC807-40-7 meets basic RoHS but lacks controlled halogen/antimony limits. Both share identical electrical specs, SOT23 package, and marking "K5C", but only the -7-F variant satisfies strict environmental mandates like automotive or EU green procurement policies.

Can BC807-40-7-F replace BC807-25-7-F in a circuit?

Yes, but only if the design tolerates higher h_FE: BC807-40-7-F has h_FE = 250–600 vs. BC807-25-7-F's 160–400. This may cause overdrive in bias networks optimized for lower gain, potentially increasing power dissipation or reducing switching speed. Verify operating point stability under worst-case h_FE extremes before substitution.

Is BC807-40-7-F suitable for automotive applications?

No-BC807-40-7-F is not AEC-Q101 qualified. For automotive use, Diodes offers the BC807-40Q variant, which undergoes extended temperature cycling, humidity testing, and failure analysis per AEC standards. The -7-F part is approved for industrial and commercial applications only.

What is the maximum safe operating current for BC807-40-7-F at 85°C ambient?

At T_A = 85°C, derating reduces maximum continuous collector current from −0.5A (at 25°C) to approximately −0.33A, based on the 403°C/W R_θJA and 310mW P_D limit. This assumes minimum recommended PCB copper area; actual current must be validated against measured junction temperature in the target layout.
