• Three distinct current gain selections available within the series
• Compact SC-70 plastic surface-mounted package design

Applications

• General-purpose switching circuits
• Amplification applications

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against official Nexperia documentation to confirm exact packaging configuration and manufacturing site codes. Ensure the selected variant matches the required thermal resistance and power dissipation limits for your specific PCB footprint and ambient operating conditions before finalizing procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a compact PNP transistor with high current gain is required for space-constrained designs. The BC807-40W variant offers a guaranteed minimum hFE of 250, suitable for applications demanding consistent amplification performance without requiring extensive base drive current adjustments.

Part Context

This part belongs to the BC807W series, which includes complementary NPN devices like the BC817W. The series utilizes the standard SOT323 footprint, providing a small form factor alternative to larger through-hole packages while maintaining robust electrical characteristics for general electronic circuit implementations.
