BC806-25WX

Overview

The BC806-25WX is a PNP general-purpose transistor from the Nexperia BC806W series, housed in an SOT323 (SC-70) surface-mount 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 features two DC current gain selections; the BC806-25 variant specifies a minimum hFE of 160 at VCE = -1 V and IC = -100 mA. It is qualified to AEC-Q101 standards for automotive reliability.

Feature Summary

• High current handling capability up to 500 mA
• High voltage rating of 80 V
• Two distinct current gain selections available
• Qualified for automotive applications per AEC-Q101

Applications

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

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's official documentation to confirm the exact tape-and-reel quantity and manufacturing site code. Confirm that the component status remains active production rather than preliminary or obsolete before finalizing design-in decisions.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a compact SOT323 footprint is required alongside high-voltage tolerance. Ensure the circuit design accommodates the specified DC current gain range of 160 to 400 for the BC806-25 variant under standard operating conditions.

Part Context

This part belongs to the BC806W series, which includes complementary NPN devices such as the BC816-25W. The series provides standardized pinouts and electrical characteristics for designers needing small-form-factor bipolar junction transistors for modern electronic assemblies.

Replacement Considerations

Direct functional equivalents within the same package include the BC806-16W for lower gain requirements. For different packages, the BC806-25H (SOT23) offers identical electrical specifications in a larger footprint.
