Product details
Overview
BC807-40QBZ from Nexperia is a PNP general-purpose bipolar junction transistor in a leadless DFN1110D-3 (SOT8015) package, rated for −45 V VCEO, −500 mA IC, and DC current gain (hFE) of 250–600 at VCE = −1 V and IC = −100 mA. It serves as a compact, high-reliability switching and amplification device in space-constrained consumer and industrial PCBs.
For engineers reviewing the BC807-40QBZ datasheet, BC807-40QBZ pinout, BC807-40QBZ application, or BC807-40QBZ equivalent, this part supports AOI-compatible solder joint inspection, delivers low saturation voltage (−700 mV max at IC = −500 mA / IB = −50 mA), and operates across −55 °C to +150 °C ambient temperature with side-wettable flanks for reliable reflow yield.
Technical Context
This PNP BJT features a planar epitaxial die structure optimized for stable DC current gain across temperature (hFE = 250–600 at 25 °C, retaining >40 minimum at IC = −500 mA), with low VCEsat and VBE enabling efficient low-voltage switching. Its thermal resistance (Rth(j-a)) is 272 K/W on 70 μm FR4 copper, supporting continuous operation up to 460 mW at Tamb ≤ 25 °C.
The DFN1110D-3 package integrates side-wettable flanks (SWF) for automated optical inspection of solder joints, 0.65 mm pitch, and ultra-thin 0.48 mm profile - reducing board area by >50% versus SOT23 while maintaining thermal performance comparable to larger leaded packages.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCEO | −45 V: Maximum collector-emitter voltage before breakdown under open-base conditions; defines safe operating range in high-side switch configurations. |
| IC | −500 mA: Continuous DC collector current rating; supports robust load driving in power management and interface circuits. |
| hFE | 250–600 at VCE = −1 V, IC = −100 mA: High and tightly binned DC current gain enables precise base-current-limited switching without overdesign. |
| VCEsat | −700 mV max at IC = −500 mA, IB = −50 mA: Low saturation voltage minimizes conduction loss and self-heating in high-duty-cycle switching. |
| Ptot | 460 mW at Tamb ≤ 25 °C on 70 μm FR4: Thermal capability allows sustained operation in dense layouts without forced cooling. |
| Rth(j-a) | 272 K/W: Junction-to-ambient thermal resistance on standard FR4; enables accurate thermal margining for reliability-critical designs. |
| Package | DFN1110D-3 (SOT8015): 1.1 × 1.0 × 0.48 mm leadless package with side-wettable flanks for AOI-compatible reflow assembly. |
Pinout & Package
BC807-40QBZ uses the DFN1110D-3 (SOT8015) surface-mount package: ultra-thin (0.48 mm height), 3-terminal, leadless design with side-wettable flanks for automated optical inspection. Dimensions: 1.1 mm × 1.0 mm × 0.48 mm, 0.65 mm pitch.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Base (B) | Control terminal; accepts negative bias current to turn on PNP conduction path between emitter and collector. |
| 2 | Emitter (E) | Current source terminal; connected to higher potential rail in high-side switch applications. |
| 3 | Collector (C) | Current sink terminal; routes switched load current to ground or lower-potential node. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Side-wettable flanks (SWF) | Enables 100% automated optical inspection (AOI) of solder joints without X-ray, improving manufacturing yield and field reliability. |
| Ultra-small footprint | 1.1 mm × 1.0 mm body area reduces PCB real estate by >50% vs. SOT23, critical for wearables and miniaturized IoT nodes. |
| High hFE bin (250–600) | Reduces required base drive current and simplifies bias network design, lowering component count and power consumption in battery-powered systems. |
| Low VCEsat (−700 mV max) | Minimizes power dissipation during saturation, extending thermal headroom and enabling higher duty-cycle operation in DC-DC prebias or LED driver stages. |
| Extended temperature range | Rated for −55 °C to +150 °C operation, supporting deployment in automotive under-hood, industrial motor controls, and outdoor equipment. |
Applications
| LED Current Switching | Microcontroller GPIO Interface |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Driving 20–50 mA indicator LEDs from 3.3 V or 5 V microcontroller outputs. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: PNP switch configured in common-emitter mode, sinking current from LED anode to ground when base is pulled low. Use Value: Low VCEsat ensures <100 mV dropout across transistor, preserving LED forward voltage margin and brightness consistency. |
Use Scenario: Level-shifting and current boosting for MCU output pins driving higher-current loads like relays or small solenoids. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: General-purpose PNP buffer stage providing inverted logic control with gain sufficient to drive ≥100 mA loads. Use Value: Tight hFE bin (250–600) guarantees predictable base current requirements, eliminating need for external current-limiting resistors in many cases. |
| Power Rail Enable Control | Low-Voltage Battery Monitoring |
|
Use Scenario: Enabling/disabling auxiliary 3.3 V or 1.8 V power rails in portable electronics using enable signals from PMIC or system controller. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-side switch controlling VOUT via emitter-follower configuration, with base driven by logic-level signal. Use Value: −45 V VCEO rating provides ample margin against supply transients, ensuring safe operation during hot-plug or load-dump events. |
Use Scenario: Precision voltage divider biasing and signal conditioning in Li-ion battery fuel gauge circuits operating down to 2.5 V. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Amplifier stage for scaling battery voltage to ADC input range, leveraging stable hFE across temperature. Use Value: Minimal VBE drift (−2 mV/K) and low leakage (<100 nA ICBO) preserve measurement accuracy over full −40 °C to +85 °C operating range. |
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| BC807-40,115 (SOT23) | Larger SOT23 package (2.9 × 1.3 × 1.0 mm); no side-wettable flanks; identical electrical specs except Rth(j-a) = 350 K/W. | Suitable where AOI is not required and PCB area is less constrained; lower thermal efficiency limits continuous IC derating. | Select when legacy footprint compatibility or manual rework access is prioritized over miniaturization and AOI support. |
| MMBT3906LT1G (SOT23) | Lower VCEO (−40 V); narrower hFE range (100–300); higher VCEsat (−800 mV typ); same 3-pin SOT23 outline. | Acceptable for ≤−40 V systems with relaxed gain stability; less suitable for high-efficiency or wide-temperature-range designs. | Choose only if cost sensitivity outweighs performance margin needs and thermal constraints permit higher saturation loss. |
Compared with BC807-40QBZ, the BC807-40,115 offers mechanical compatibility but sacrifices AOI capability and thermal performance, while MMBT3906LT1G trades voltage margin, gain stability, and saturation efficiency for broader distributor availability - making BC807-40QBZ optimal for next-gen compact, high-yield, thermally demanding designs.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous collector current for BC807-40QBZ at 85 °C ambient?
At Tamb = 85 °C, the maximum continuous collector current is derated to approximately −320 mA, calculated using the 460 mW Ptot rating and thermal resistance of 272 K/W. This ensures junction temperature remains below 150 °C under steady-state conditions on standard FR4 PCBs with 70 μm copper.
Does BC807-40QBZ support lead-free reflow soldering per JEDEC J-STD-020?
Yes, BC807-40QBZ is qualified for lead-free reflow per JEDEC J-STD-020D, with peak temperature tolerance up to 260 °C for 30 seconds. The DFN1110D-3 package's side-wettable flanks and thermal mass are validated for standard Pb-free profiles, including ramp-soak-reflow cycles used in high-volume SMT lines.
How does the marking code 'B2' identify BC807-40QBZ on the device body?
The top-side laser marking 'B2' is the unique identifier for BC807-40QBZ within the BC807QB series, per Table 5 of the datasheet. It appears on the package surface adjacent to pin 1 index area and is verified under 20× magnification during AOI - distinguishing it from BC807-16QB (A8) and BC807-25QB (A9).
Can BC807-40QBZ replace BC807-40 in existing SOT23 designs without layout changes?
No - BC807-40QBZ uses the DFN1110D-3 (SOT8015) package, which is physically incompatible with SOT23 footprints. Its 1.1 × 1.0 mm body, 0.65 mm pitch, and side-wettable flanks require a dedicated land pattern per Figure 17. Direct replacement would necessitate PCB redesign and stencil revision.
