The BC816-16H-QR from Nexperia is an automotive-qualified NPN general-purpose bipolar transistor based on the BC816-16H-Q device. It provides an 80V collector-emitter voltage rating and 500mA collector-current capability in a compact SOT23 surface-mount package.
The BC816H-Q family is intended for general-purpose switching and amplification, with Nexperia specifically listing 48V automotive board-net applications. Its higher 80V voltage capability provides additional margin for automotive and industrial circuits operating above conventional low-voltage transistor levels.
The -16 suffix identifies the current-gain selection. The 16 gain group provides an hFE range of 100 to 250 under the specified VCE=1V, IC=100mA test condition.
For saturated switching, the corresponding series characteristics specify a maximum collector-emitter saturation voltage of approximately 150mV at IC=100mA and IB=10mA, increasing to approximately 400mV at IC=500mA and IB=50mA. The transition frequency is specified at a minimum of approximately 80MHz, supporting both switching and general amplification applications.
A key advantage of the BC816H-Q family is its high-temperature capability. Nexperia specifies operation for applications up to 175°C and confirms AEC-Q101 qualification, making the device suitable for automotive electronic systems.
The transistor uses a 3-terminal SOT23 / TO-236AB SMD package. Nexperia specifies the SOT23 body at approximately 2.9mm × 1.3mm × 1.0mm with a 1.9mm terminal pitch.
The exact BC816-16H-QR ordering code has Nexperia 12NC 934666980215 and is supplied in 3000-piece tape-and-reel packaging. Its official chemical-content record specifies MSL 1, EU RoHS and REACH compliance, and lead-free/halogen-free status according to Nexperia’s definition.
Nexperia currently lists the underlying BC816-16H-Q as Production, confirming that the device remains part of its active automotive bipolar-transistor portfolio.
