Product details
Overview
SBC808-25LT1G from onsemi is a PNP silicon general-purpose transistor rated for −25 V VCEO, −500 mA continuous collector current, and 225 mW power dissipation on FR-5 board; it delivers hFE = 160–400 at IC = −100 mA, VCE = −1.0 V, and is AEC-Q101 qualified for automotive body electronics applications.
For engineers reviewing the SBC808-25LT1G datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include guaranteed VCEO = −25 V, verified hFE range under production-relevant bias conditions, thermal derating behavior on standard PCBs, and Pb-free SOT-23 package compatibility with automated assembly.
Technical Context
The SBC808-25LT1G operates as a medium-current PNP bipolar junction transistor with fixed gain structure optimized for linear amplification and saturated switching. Its −25 V VCEO rating and −5.0 V VEBO support robust operation in low-voltage negative-rail control circuits, while fT = 100 MHz enables stable performance up to audio-frequency switching.
Thermal design is constrained by RJA = 556 °C/W on FR-5 board and 417 °C/W on alumina substrate, requiring explicit layout consideration for sustained −500 mA loads. The device exhibits VCE(sat) ≤ −0.7 V at IC = −500 mA / IB = −50 mA, confirming suitability for low-loss switching in power management blocks.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCEO | −25 V - Maximum allowable collector-emitter voltage before breakdown; defines safe operating range in negative-rail bias networks. |
| IC (continuous) | −500 mA - Rated DC collector current; supports load switching up to 0.5 A without forced cooling on standard PCBs. |
| hFE | 160–400 - DC current gain at IC = −100 mA, VCE = −1.0 V; ensures predictable base drive requirements across production lots. |
| VCE(sat) | ≤ −0.7 V - Saturation voltage at IC = −500 mA / IB = −50 mA; limits conduction loss to ≤350 mW in switch-mode operation. |
| fT | 100 MHz - Current-gain bandwidth product at IC = −10 mA, VCE = −5.0 V; validates usable frequency response in signal conditioning stages. |
| RJA (FR-5) | 556 °C/W - Junction-to-ambient thermal resistance; requires ≥100 mm² copper pour for full-power operation at TA = 25 °C. |
Pinout & Package
Package: SOT-23 (TO-236), 2.90 × 1.30 × 1.00 mm, Pb-free, marked "5F" with date code; compliant with JEDEC MO-178.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Base | Current-controlled input node; requires −50 mA base drive for full saturation at −500 mA collector load. |
| 2 | Emitter | Common terminal for PNP configuration; connected to higher potential rail (e.g., −12 V or −5 V supply). |
| 3 | Collector | Output terminal sourcing current to load; referenced to lower-potential node (e.g., ground or signal return). |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualification | Validated for automotive temperature cycling (−40 °C to +125 °C), humidity testing, and mechanical shock per JESD22 standards. |
| Pb-free, halogen-free/BFR-free construction | Meets RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and JEDEC JS709E; eliminates hazardous substances without compromising solderability or reliability. |
| Guaranteed hFE range at production-relevant bias | 160–400 at IC = −100 mA, VCE = −1.0 V ensures consistent base resistor selection across manufacturing batches. |
| Low VCE(sat) at high current | ≤ −0.7 V at IC = −500 mA / IB = −50 mA reduces power loss and thermal stress in high-duty-cycle switching. |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar PNP transistor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BC808-25LT1G | Same die, identical electrical specs, but marked "5F" without "S" prefix; not AEC-Q101 qualified. | Not approved for automotive use; suitable for industrial/commercial designs where qualification is not mandated. | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs automotive compliance requirements and full lifecycle traceability is not needed. |
| MMBT808 | Identical SOT-23 package and pinout; hFE min = 100 (vs. 160), VCEO = −25 V, same VCE(sat) spec. | Lower guaranteed gain increases base drive uncertainty; acceptable where marginal hFE variation is tolerable. | Choose for non-critical commercial applications with relaxed gain consistency requirements and tighter BOM cost targets. |

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous collector current rating for the SBC808-25LT1G?
The SBC808-25LT1G is rated for −500 mA continuous collector current (IC) at TA = 25 °C on FR-5 board. Derating applies above 25 °C at 1.8 mW/°C, limiting usable current in elevated ambient temperatures unless additional copper area or thermal vias are implemented. This rating is confirmed in the Thermal Characteristics table of the official onsemi datasheet.
Is the SBC808-25LT1G pin-compatible with the BC808-25LT1G?
Yes, the SBC808-25LT1G shares identical SOT-23 pinout (Style 6: Pin 1 = Base, Pin 2 = Emitter, Pin 3 = Collector) and mechanical dimensions with the BC808-25LT1G. However, the "S" prefix denotes AEC-Q101 qualification and PPAP capability-critical for automotive use-while the non-S version lacks formal automotive validation despite identical electrical behavior.
What does the "S" prefix in SBC808-25LT1G signify?
The "S" prefix in SBC808-25LT1G indicates that the device meets AEC-Q101 stress test requirements and is PPAP-capable for automotive applications. It also denotes unique site and process control tracking, enabling full traceability for Tier 1 suppliers. This prefix is defined in the Features section of the onsemi datasheet and distinguishes it from commercial-grade variants like BC808-25LT1G.
Does the SBC808-25LT1G support operation at 150 °C junction temperature?
Yes, the SBC808-25LT1G is rated for junction and storage temperatures from −55 °C to +150 °C per the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. Operation at TJ = 150 °C is permissible provided power dissipation remains within derated limits-e.g., PD ≤ 126 mW at 100 °C ambient-and thermal design accounts for RJA = 556 °C/W on standard FR-5 board.
What is the typical current-gain bandwidth product (fT) of the SBC808-25LT1G?
The SBC808-25LT1G has a minimum fT of 100 MHz, measured at IC = −10 mA, VCE = −5.0 V, and f = 100 MHz. This value is specified in the Small-Signal Characteristics table and confirms suitability for audio-frequency amplification and fast-switching applications where gain stability up to ~10 MHz is required.
