BC807-16HVL

Overview

The BC807-16HVL is a PNP general-purpose transistor from the Nexperia BC807H series, housed in an SOT23 surface-mount package. It supports a collector-emitter voltage of -45 V and a continuous collector current of -500 mA. The device features a DC current gain (hFE) range of 100 to 250 at VCE = -1 V and IC = -100 mA. It operates with a junction temperature up to 175 °C and includes peak collector current capability of -1 A for single pulses.

Feature Summary

• High-temperature operation capability up to 175 °C
• Three distinct current gain selections available
• Small SOT23 surface-mount plastic package

Applications

• General-purpose switching
• Amplification circuits

Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific suffix 'VL' corresponds to the standard BC807-16H automotive or non-automotive variant listed in the official datasheet. Confirm the marking code '6S%' matches the intended manufacturing site. Ensure the component meets the required thermal dissipation limits on the target PCB footprint.

Selection Notes

Select this component when high-temperature stability is required alongside standard PNP switching performance. The BC807-16H offers a lower current gain band compared to the -25H and -40H variants. Use the complementary BC817K-16H for matched NPN applications within the same high-temperature series.

Part Context

This part belongs to the BC807H series, which provides high-temperature versions of the standard BC807 transistors. The series is designed for robust performance in demanding environments. The H-series designation indicates the extended thermal capabilities compared to standard industrial grade parts.

Replacement Considerations

BC807-16H is the direct equivalent within the same series. BC817K-16H serves as the NPN complement.
