BC807-25LT3G PNP General Purpose Transistor (45V, 500mA, SOT-23)

Take full control over your circuit's power distribution with the BC807-25LT3G PNP bipolar junction transistor (BJT). While NPN transistors are great for switching ground (low-side), there are many situations where you need to switch the positive power rail (high-side) to completely cut off power to external sensors, displays, or RF modules to save battery. As the perfect complementary pair to the ubiquitous BC817, this tiny PNP transistor is the industry-standard workhorse for high-side switching in custom electronics.

Capable of handling a robust -500mA of continuous collector current and with a breakdown voltage of -45V, it easily handles 12V and 24V loads without breaking a sweat. Whether you are designing power-saving sleep circuits for IoT devices, building audio amplifier stages, or controlling power to custom drone peripherals, the BC807 delivers reliable, efficient performance. Packaged in a microscopic SOT-23 footprint, it is a must-have building block for any maker’s surface-mount component stash.

Key Features:

• High-Side Switching: The ideal PNP transistor for switching positive voltage rails, allowing you to fully power down modules and sensors to save battery life.

• High Current Capacity: Safely switches up to 500mA of continuous current, making it perfect for driving heavy loads like relays, LEDs, and small motors.

• Wide Voltage Tolerance: A robust 45V rating makes it completely safe to use in standard 12V and 24V DC systems.

• Perfect Complement: Pairs flawlessly with the BC817 NPN transistor for designing push-pull audio amplifiers or H-bridge motor drivers.
