BC807DSF

Overview

The BC807DSF is a dual PNP bipolar junction transistor array manufactured by Nexperia. It integrates two independent PNP transistors within a compact SOT457 (SC-74) surface-mount package. The device supports a maximum collector-emitter voltage of 45 V and a continuous collector current of 500 mA. Key electrical specifications include a power dissipation rating of 370 mW, an emitter-base voltage of 5 V, and a transition frequency of 80 MHz. The saturation voltage is specified at 700 mV, ensuring efficient switching performance in low-power applications.

Feature Summary

• Integrates two independent PNP transistors in a single compact surface-mount package for space-efficient designs
• Provides high current handling capability suitable for general-purpose switching and amplification tasks
• Features optimized gain bandwidth product for effective signal processing in audio and RF circuits

Applications

• General-purpose switching circuits requiring dual PNP configurations
• Audio amplifier stages and signal conditioning modules
• Logic level translation and interface driving applications

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'SF' against official Nexperia documentation to confirm tape-and-reel packaging details and RoHS compliance status. Ensure that the ordering part number matches the required current gain binning if precise hFE characteristics are critical for the design. Cross-reference the datasheet revision date to confirm the most recent thermal and electrical parameters are applied.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual PNP configuration is required in a minimal footprint. The SOT457 package offers thermal efficiency for moderate power levels. Consider the 45 V voltage rating and 500 mA current limit to ensure operation remains within safe boundaries. Verify compatibility with the NPN complement BC807 series if symmetrical push-pull topologies are utilized in the circuit design.

Part Context

This component belongs to the BC807 family of general-purpose PNP transistors from Nexperia. While standard variants like the BC807 exist in SOT23 packages, the BC807DSF specifically denotes the dual-array version in the SC-74/SOT457 form factor. This variant allows designers to replace discrete components with a single integrated solution, simplifying PCB layout and reducing assembly complexity for dual-transistor requirements.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other dual PNP arrays in the SOT457 package such as the BC807D or BC807DW from compatible manufacturers. Verify pinout compatibility and electrical ratings before substitution. Single-transistor equivalents like the BC807-16 or BC807-25 may be used if only one channel is needed, but they will not provide the dual functionality.
