BC807-16W,115

Overview

The BC807-16W,115 is a PNP general-purpose transistor from the Nexperia BC807W series. It operates with a collector-emitter voltage of -45 V and a continuous collector current of -500 mA. The device supports a peak collector current of -1 A for single pulses up to 1 ms. DC current gain (hFE) ranges from 100 to 250 at VCE = -1 V and IC = -100 mA. It features a transition frequency of 80 MHz and low saturation voltages. The component is housed in a SOT323 (SC-70) surface-mount package.

Feature Summary

• High current capability suitable for demanding switching loads
• Three distinct current gain selections available within the series
• Compact plastic surface-mounted package design

Applications

• General-purpose switching circuits
• Amplification stages
• Driver applications requiring small form factors

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering code matches the required gain bin. Confirm package type corresponds to SOT323 requirements. Ensure application conditions remain within absolute maximum ratings. Check for automotive qualification needs separately as this variant is non-automotive qualified.

Selection Notes

Select this part when a PNP transistor with moderate gain range is needed. The BC807-16W offers a balanced hFE profile compared to other series variants. Consider thermal resistance limits during high-current operation. Verify compatibility with existing PCB footprints for the SC-70 package.

Part Context

This component belongs to the BC807W series of PNP transistors. It serves as the complement to the BC817-16W NPN device. The series provides standardized performance for general electronic applications. Other variants include BC807W, BC807-25W, and BC807-40W with different gain characteristics.

Replacement Considerations

BC817-16W is the NPN complement. BC807-25W and BC807-40W offer alternative gain ranges. BC807W provides a wider gain spread. Direct pin-compatible substitutes may exist from other manufacturers but require parameter verification.
