BC806-16WF

Overview

The Nexperia BC806-16WF is a PNP general-purpose transistor housed in the SOT323 (SC-70) surface-mounted device plastic package. It supports a collector-emitter voltage of -80 V and a continuous collector current of -500 mA, with a peak pulsed current capability of -1 A. The device offers two DC current gain selections; the BC806-16W variant provides a minimum hFE of 100 at IC = -100 mA and VCE = -1 V. It is qualified to the AEC-Q101 standard for automotive applications.

Feature Summary

• High current handling capability suitable for demanding switching loads
• High voltage rating enabling operation in elevated potential circuits
• Automotive grade qualification ensuring reliability under rigorous stress conditions

Applications

• General-purpose switching and amplification
• 48 V automotive board net control

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's official documentation to confirm the exact tape-and-reel packaging configuration and marking code. Confirm that the selected variant matches the required current gain bin for the intended circuit design. Ensure compatibility with the specified SOT323 footprint during PCB layout.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a compact PNP transistor is required for high-voltage switching within space-constrained designs. The BC806-16W variant is appropriate where moderate current gain is sufficient. Verify thermal dissipation requirements against the junction-to-ambient resistance values provided in the datasheet for the specific mounting conditions.

Part Context

This device belongs to the BC806W series of PNP general-purpose transistors manufactured by Nexperia. The series includes complementary NPN devices such as the BC816-16W. These components are designed for surface-mount assembly using standard reflow or wave soldering processes compatible with the SC-70 outline dimensions.

Replacement Considerations

BC816-16W serves as the NPN complement within the same series family.
