Product details
Overview
BC808-25 E6433 from Nexperia is a PNP silicon general-purpose audio-frequency transistor with VCEO = 25 V, IC = 500 mA, hFE = 160–250 (at IC = 100 mA), VCE(sat) ≤ 0.7 V (at IC = 500 mA), and SOT23 package. It serves as a medium-power switching or linear amplification device in low-voltage DC control circuits, motor drivers, and LED load interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the BC808-25 E6433 datasheet, BC808-25 E6433 pinout, BC808-25 E6433 application, or BC808-25 E6433 equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed hFE group 25 performance across temperature, low saturation voltage under high current, AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive-grade reliability, and RoHS-compliant lead-free packaging.
Technical Context
This PNP bipolar junction transistor operates in active, saturation, and cutoff regions with defined DC gain groups and stable thermal resistance (RthJS ≤ 215 K/W). Its complementary NPN counterpart is BC817-25/BC817-25W, enabling push-pull and differential pair configurations.
Designed for robustness in automotive and industrial environments, it meets AEC-Q101 stress testing requirements including HTGB, HTRB, and temperature cycling. Electrical behavior is characterized at TA = 25°C with validated derating curves for power dissipation versus case temperature (TS).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCEO | 25 V - Maximum collector-emitter voltage before breakdown; sets upper limit for supply rail compatibility in 24 V systems. |
| IC | 500 mA - Continuous collector current rating; supports driving small relays, solenoids, or logic-level loads without external heat sinking. |
| hFE (grp. 25) | 160–250 - Guaranteed DC current gain at IC = 100 mA, VCE = 1 V; enables predictable base drive sizing for switch-mode operation. |
| VCE(sat) | ≤ 0.7 V - Low saturation voltage at IC = 500 mA, IB = 50 mA; minimizes conduction loss and self-heating in high-duty-cycle switching. |
| fT | 200 MHz - Transition frequency at IC = 50 mA, VCE = 5 V; supports audio-band amplification and fast digital switching up to ~10 MHz. |
| RthJS | ≤ 215 K/W - Junction-to-soldering-point thermal resistance; defines maximum allowable power dissipation at given board thermal design. |
| Tj | 150 °C - Maximum junction temperature; allows operation in under-hood automotive or enclosed industrial enclosures with proper PCB copper area. |
Pinout & Package
BC808-25 E6433 is housed in a standard SOT23 plastic surface-mount package with gull-wing leads, optimized for automated placement and reflow soldering on 1.6 mm thick FR-4 PCBs.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (Emitter) | E | Current sink node; connects to higher potential (e.g., VCC) in common-emitter switch configuration. |
| 2 (Base) | B | Control input; requires current-limited drive (typically 5–50 mA) to saturate the transistor reliably. |
| 3 (Collector) | C | Output node; connects to load (e.g., relay coil or LED anode) and returns to ground through load path. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualified | Validated for automotive applications including engine control modules and body electronics per stress test requirements. |
| RoHS-compliant (Pb-free) | Meets EU Directive 2011/65/EU; compatible with lead-free reflow profiles and eliminates hazardous substance reporting obligations. |
| hFE group 25 | Guaranteed 160–250 gain range ensures consistent base resistor selection across production lots without binning. |
| Low VCE(sat) | ≤ 0.7 V at full rated current reduces power loss by >30% vs. legacy PNP transistors like BC328, improving thermal margin. |
| Complementary pairing | Direct match with BC817-25 enables balanced push-pull output stages in Class-B audio amplifiers and H-bridge drivers. |
Applications
| Automotive Door Module | Industrial PLC Output Stage |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Driving window lift motors and mirror adjustment actuators in 12 V vehicle platforms. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Medium-current PNP switch controlling motor direction via H-bridge half-bridge configuration. Use Value: Low VCE(sat) limits power loss to <150 mW at 400 mA, reducing PCB heating and eliminating need for heatsinking in compact modules. | Use Scenario: Isolating and amplifying 24 V DC digital outputs to drive solenoid valves and indicator lamps. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-gain PNP interface between microcontroller GPIO and inductive load. Use Value: Guaranteed hFE ≥160 ensures reliable saturation with ≤10 mA base drive, simplifying level-shifting circuit design. |
| LED Backlight Driver | DC-DC Converter Bias Circuit |
Use Scenario: Constant-current switching for white LED strings in display backlighting subsystems. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Linear or PWM-controlled current sink in adjustable current source topology. Use Value: Stable hFE over −40°C to +105°C maintains consistent LED brightness across ambient temperature extremes. | Use Scenario: Providing bias current to error amplifier and reference circuits in isolated flyback controllers. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Precision current source for bandgap references and op-amp bias networks. Use Value: Low leakage (ICBO ≤ 0.1 µA at 25°C) prevents reference drift and improves regulation accuracy in low-power standby modes. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar PNP switching transistor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BC808-25W | SOT323 package; RthJS ≤ 80 K/W; Ptot = 250 mW at TS = 130°C | Better thermal performance in space-constrained layouts; lower max power at same case temp | Select when board real estate is limited and thermal vias support lower RthJA. |
| BC328-25 | TO-92 package; VCEO = 25 V; hFE = 160–320; Ptot = 625 mW; non-AEC-Q101 | Higher power handling but through-hole mounting; no automotive qualification | Select for prototyping or non-automotive cost-sensitive designs requiring higher dissipation. |
Compared with BC808-25W, the E6433 variant offers higher power rating (330 mW vs. 250 mW) in SOT23 but less thermal efficiency; versus BC328-25, it provides surface-mount compatibility and AEC-Q101 assurance at reduced package size and power capability.

FAQ
Is BC808-25 E6433 pin-compatible with BC807-25?
Yes - both share identical SOT23 pinout (E-B-C) and mechanical footprint. However, BC807-25 is NPN while BC808-25 is PNP, so polarity reversal is required in circuit layout. Electrical parameters differ significantly: BC807-25 has VCEO = 45 V and complementary gain grouping.
What is the maximum safe operating current at 85°C ambient?
At TA = 85°C, derated continuous collector current is approximately 380 mA, based on the Ptot vs. TS curve (330 mW at TS ≤ 79°C) and typical VCE(sat) of 0.6 V. This assumes adequate PCB copper area and no forced airflow.
Does BC808-25 E6433 support pulse operation beyond its DC ratings?
Yes - pulse current up to 1000 mA is permitted with duty cycle ≤ 2% and pulse width < 300 µs, per datasheet pulse rating. Peak power must remain within Ptotmax/PtotDC envelope, and thermal accumulation must be verified for repetitive pulses.
Can BC808-25 E6433 replace BC808-40 in a design?
No - BC808-40 has hFE = 250–400 (group 40), offering higher gain and lower base drive requirement. Substituting BC808-25 may cause incomplete saturation in high-impedance base-drive circuits, increasing VCE(sat) and thermal stress.
