BC80716MTF

Overview

The BC80716MTF is a PNP silicon general-purpose transistor manufactured by Fairchild Semiconductor. It features a maximum collector-emitter voltage of 45 V and a continuous collector current of 500 mA. The device utilizes an SOT-23 surface-mount package, designated as TO-236AB in JEITA standards. It offers three specific DC current gain (hFE) groupings to ensure consistent performance across applications.

Feature Summary

• PNP bipolar junction transistor configuration for switching and amplification
• Three distinct current gain groupings for precise circuit matching
• Compatible with the BC817-16 NPN complement

Applications

• General-purpose switching circuits
• Audio frequency driver stages
• Low power output stages

Procurement Notes

Verify the manufacturer marking on the component body to confirm Fairchild Semiconductor origin. Ensure the suffix MTF corresponds to the required tape-and-reel packaging format. Cross-reference the datasheet revision date to validate electrical characteristics against the specific production batch requirements.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 45 V PNP transistor with 500 mA capability is required. The BC80716 variant specifically targets applications needing defined hFE ranges. It serves as the direct PNP counterpart to the BC817-16 NPN transistor in complementary designs.

Part Context

This part belongs to the BC807 series of small-signal PNP transistors. It is designed for use in surface-mount assemblies where space constraints necessitate compact packages like SOT-23. The series provides a standard solution for low-power signal processing tasks.

Replacement Considerations

The BC817-16 is the documented NPN complement. Verify pinout compatibility before substituting with other generic PNP transistors from different manufacturers.
