BC817-16QB-QZ

Overview

The BC817-16QB-Q is an NPN general-purpose transistor from the Nexperia QB-Q series, housed in a DFN1110D-3 (SOT8015) leadless surface-mounted package. It features a collector-emitter voltage of 45 V and a continuous collector current of 500 mA. The device offers a DC current gain range of 100 to 250 at IC = 100 mA and VCE = 1 V. It supports a peak collector current of 1 A and includes side-wettable flanks for enhanced solder joint inspection.

Feature Summary

• Qualified according to AEC-Q101 standards for automotive applications
• Features side-wettable flanks suitable for Automatic Optical Inspection (AOI)
• Ultra-thin package design with a height of 0.5 mm

Applications

• General-purpose switching and amplification
• Space-restricted electronic designs

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'Q' indicates the DFN1110D-3 package variant rather than standard SOT-23. Confirm AEC-Q101 qualification status if automotive reliability is required. Check marking code B3 for identification. Ensure PCB footprint matches SOT8015 dimensions.

Selection Notes

Select this component when space constraints require an ultra-thin profile compared to conventional leaded packages. Choose the BC817-16QB-Q specifically for its defined hFE range of 100 to 250. Consider the DFN1110D-3 package for improved thermal performance and AOI compatibility over traditional SMD forms.

Part Context

This part belongs to the BC817QB-Q series, which provides three distinct current gain selections: -16, -25, and -40. All variants share the same DFN1110D-3 package and electrical ratings but differ in their DC current gain specifications. The PNP complement for this device is the BC807-16QB-Q.

Replacement Considerations

BC807-16QB-Q is the PNP complement within the same series.
