BC807-16W RFG

Overview

The BC807-16W RFG is a PNP silicon general-purpose transistor manufactured by Taiwan Semiconductor Corporation. It is housed in the SOT-323 surface-mount package and designed for switching and amplification applications. Key electrical parameters include a maximum collector-emitter voltage of 45 V, a continuous collector current of 500 mA, and a power dissipation rating of 200 mW. The device features a minimum DC current gain (hFE) of 160 at -100 mA and -1 V. It operates within a junction temperature range of -55°C to +150°C.

Feature Summary

• High current capability suitable for demanding switching loads
• Low saturation voltage for efficient power handling
• Halogen-free construction compliant with environmental standards

Applications

• General-purpose switching circuits
• Amplifier stages
• Driver circuits for low-power outputs

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'RFG' against the manufacturer's official ordering guide to confirm packaging details such as reel size or tape width. Confirm RoHS compliance status and halogen-free designation directly with the supplier documentation. Ensure the component matches the required hFE binning class for your circuit design before finalizing procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a PNP transistor with 500 mA current capacity and 45 V voltage rating is required in an SOT-323 footprint. Consider the 200 mW power dissipation limit for thermal management. Verify that the hFE selection aligns with the gain requirements of the target application compared to standard BC807 variants.

Part Context

This part belongs to the BC807 series of PNP general-purpose transistors. It serves as the complement to the BC817 NPN series. The 'W' suffix typically denotes the SOT-323 package variant, while 'RFG' indicates specific packaging and marking configurations defined by Taiwan Semiconductor Corporation.

Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include BC807-16 from Nexperia and BC807-25W from Diotec Semiconductor. Verify pinout compatibility and electrical parameter overlaps before substitution.
