BC807-16HR

Overview

The BC807-16HR is a PNP general-purpose transistor from the Nexperia BC807H series, housed in an SOT23 (TO-236AB) surface-mounted plastic package. It supports a collector-emitter voltage of -45 V and a continuous collector current of -500 mA at 25 °C. The device offers three DC current gain selections; the BC807-16H variant provides a minimum hFE of 100 and a maximum of 250 under standard test conditions. It is designed for high-temperature applications with a junction temperature rating up to 175 °C.

Feature Summary

• Three distinct current gain selections available within the series
• High-temperature operational capability up to 175 °C junction temperature

Applications

• General-purpose switching
• Amplification circuits

Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific suffix 'HR' corresponds to the reel packaging configuration defined by Nexperia's ordering information. Confirm the product status as non-automotive qualified per the latest datasheet revision, ensuring suitability for industrial or consumer electronics rather than automotive environments.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a PNP transistor with a -45 V rating and moderate current handling is required. The BC807-16H variant is appropriate for designs needing a guaranteed DC current gain range between 100 and 250. Ensure the PCB layout accommodates the SOT23 footprint and thermal dissipation requirements for the intended operating environment.

Part Context

This part belongs to the BC807H series of PNP general-purpose transistors manufactured by Nexperia. The series includes variants with different current gain ranges, such as BC807-25H and BC807-40H. All share the same SOT23 package and electrical limits but differ in their hFE specifications to suit various amplification needs.

Replacement Considerations

BC817K-16H serves as the NPN complement within the same series.
