BC807-16QB-QZ

Overview

The Nexperia BC807-16QB-QZ is a PNP general-purpose transistor from the BC807QB-Q series, housed in an ultra-small DFN1110D-3 (SOT8015) leadless SMD plastic package with side-wettable flanks. It features a collector-emitter voltage of -45 V and a continuous collector current of -500 mA. The device offers three current gain selections; the BC807-16 variant provides a DC current gain range of 100 to 250 at VCE = -1 V and IC = -100 mA. Qualified according to AEC-Q101, it supports automotive applications.

Feature Summary

• High power dissipation capability suitable for demanding thermal environments
• Low package height of 0.5 mm with smaller footprint compared to conventional leaded packages
• Suitable for Automatic Optical Inspection (AOI) of solder joints due to side-wettable flanks
• Qualified according to AEC-Q101 standards for automotive use

Applications

• General-purpose switching and amplification
• Space restricted applications
• Automotive applications

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix matches the required current gain bin, as the BC807-16QB-Q designation corresponds to the hFE range of 100–250. Confirm the package version is SOT8015 (DFN1110D-3). Ensure design compliance with AEC-Q101 requirements if intended for automotive deployment. Cross-reference marking codes to confirm part authenticity.

Selection Notes

Select this component when space constraints require an ultra-thin profile alongside high current handling capabilities. The BC807-16QB-QZ is appropriate for designs needing moderate current gain (hFE 100–250). Consider the DFN1110D-3 package for improved thermal performance via side-wettable flanks compared to standard leaded alternatives. Verify that the -45 V rating meets the circuit's maximum voltage stress requirements.

Part Context

This device belongs to the BC807QB-Q series, which includes complementary NPN types like the BC817-16QB-Q. The series utilizes the DFN1110D-3 package to reduce board space while maintaining robust electrical characteristics. It serves as a modern replacement for traditional SOT23 packaged transistors in compact consumer and automotive electronics.

Replacement Considerations

Direct functional substitutes within the same series include BC807-25QB-Q and BC807-40QB-Q, differing primarily in DC current gain ranges. For pin-compatible replacements in larger packages, consider the BC807-16 in SOT23 packaging, though thermal and footprint characteristics will differ significantly.
