BC807-25HR

Overview

The BC807-25HR is a PNP general-purpose transistor from the Nexperia BC807H series, housed in an SOT23 (TO-236AB) 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 range of 160 to 400 at -100 mA. It is designed for high-temperature applications with a junction temperature rating up to 175 °C.

Feature Summary

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

Applications

• General-purpose switching
• Amplification circuits

Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific suffix HR corresponds to the requested packaging format, as the official datasheet lists standard tape-and-reel options without this exact suffix. Confirm the product status against the latest Nexperia documentation, noting that version 2 of the datasheet indicates non-automotive qualification for the BC807H series.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a PNP transistor with a minimum hFE of 160 is required alongside high thermal tolerance. The BC807-25 variant provides higher gain than the BC807-16 but lower than the BC807-40. Ensure the application does not require AEC-Q101 automotive qualification, as the H series is designated for general industrial use.

Part Context

This part belongs to the BC807H series, which includes variants BC807-16H and BC807-40H. These transistors serve as the PNP counterparts to the BC817K series NPN transistors. All members share the same SOT23 footprint and electrical limits, differing primarily in their DC current gain specifications.

Replacement Considerations

BC817K-25H is the complementary NPN device within the same family.
