BC807-16QCZ

Overview

The BC807-16QCZ is a PNP general-purpose transistor from the Nexperia BC807QC series, housed in an ultra-small DFN1412D-3 (SOT8009) 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 BC807-16QC variant provides a DC current gain (hFE) range of 100 to 250 at VCE = -1 V and IC = -100 mA. Total power dissipation reaches 380 mW on a standard FR4 PCB with 35 μm copper. The component supports Automatic Optical Inspection for solder joints and maintains a low profile height of 0.5 mm.

Feature Summary

• High power dissipation capability suitable for compact designs
• Supports high current operation up to 500 mA
• Available in three distinct current gain selections
• Side-wettable flanks enable reliable Automatic Optical Inspection

Applications

• General-purpose switching circuits
• Amplification stages
• Space-restricted electronic applications

Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific ordering suffix matches the required tape-and-reel configuration or packaging format, as these details are defined in the full product data sheet rather than the short summary. Confirm that the design environment does not require automotive qualification, as this specific revision is designated for non-automotive use. Ensure compatibility with the specified DFN1412D-3 footprint dimensions during layout verification.

Selection Notes

Select the BC807-16QCZ when a low-profile surface-mount solution is required for space-constrained boards. Choose this part over legacy leaded packages to reduce board area and facilitate automated assembly processes. Consider the specific hFE binning requirements of the circuit design, as the -16QC designation corresponds to the lower gain range compared to the -25QC or -40QC variants within the same package family.

Part Context

This component belongs to the BC807QC series, which utilizes the DFN1412D-3 package technology. It serves as the PNP complement to the BC817-16QC NPN transistor. The series is designed to replace conventional leaded SMD packages while maintaining similar electrical performance characteristics. The marking code for this specific gain bin is 9J.

Replacement Considerations

Direct functional substitutes within the same package include BC807-25QC and BC807-40QC, provided the higher current gain ranges are acceptable for the application. For legacy replacements, verify pinout compatibility with standard SOT23 footprints if adapter solutions are used.
