BC806-25HVL

Overview

The BC806-25HVL is a PNP general-purpose transistor from the Nexperia BC806H series, housed in an SOT23 (TO-236AB) surface-mount package. It supports a collector-emitter voltage of -80 V and a continuous collector current of -500 mA. The device features two DC current gain selections; the '25' variant provides a minimum hFE of 160 at IC = -100 mA and VCE = -1 V. It operates with a junction temperature range up to 175 °C.

Feature Summary

• High voltage capability rated at 80 V for robust switching applications
• High current handling with a maximum collector current of 500 mA
• Two distinct current gain selections available for different amplification needs
• Designed for high-temperature environments with operation up to 175 °C

Applications

• General-purpose switching circuits
• Signal amplification stages
• 48 V automotive board net interfaces

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's official documentation to confirm packaging details such as reel or cut tape configuration. Ensure the selected part number matches the required current gain bin, as the '25' designation indicates a specific hFE range. Confirm that the non-automotive qualification status aligns with the intended application requirements before finalizing procurement.

Selection Notes

Select the BC806-25H when a higher minimum DC current gain is required compared to the BC806-16 variant. This component is suitable for designs needing 80 V breakdown voltage and 500 mA current capacity in a compact SOT23 footprint. Consider the thermal resistance characteristics and power derating curves if operating near the maximum junction temperature limits.

Part Context

This component belongs to the BC806H series of PNP transistors manufactured by Nexperia. It serves as the PNP complement to the BC816-25H NPN transistor within the same product family. Both devices share identical physical dimensions and pin configurations, facilitating complementary circuit design in standard SOT23 packages.

Replacement Considerations

The BC806-25H is the direct functional equivalent within the same series. Designers should verify that any substitute maintains the same SOT23 package outline and meets the -80 V / -500 mA electrical specifications.
