Product details
Overview
2PB709ASL,215 from Nexperia is a PNP general-purpose bipolar junction transistor in SOT23 package, rated for −45 V VCEO, −100 mA IC, and DC current gain (hFE) of 290–460 at −2 mA collector current. It serves as a low-power switching or linear amplification device in compact consumer and industrial signal-path circuits.
For engineers reviewing the 2PB709ASL,215 datasheet, 2PB709ASL,215 pinout, 2PB709ASL,215 application, or 2PB709ASL,215 equivalent, key selection criteria include its PNP polarity, SOT23 footprint compatibility, −500 mV VCE(sat) at −10 mA base drive, thermal resistance of 500 K/W on FR4 PCB, and non-automotive qualification status.
Technical Context
This discrete PNP BJT operates in active or saturation regions for analog amplification and digital switching functions. Its design supports stable DC biasing with hFE specified at −10 V VCE and −2 mA IC, and exhibits low leakage (ICBO ≤ −5 µA at 150 °C).
The device features a maximum power dissipation of 250 mW at Tamb ≤ 25 °C on standard FR4 PCB, with thermal resistance from junction to ambient at 500 K/W. Its fT of 80 MHz enables use in low-frequency signal conditioning and audio pre-amplifier stages.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCEO | −45 V: Maximum safe collector-emitter voltage with base open; defines upper voltage limit in switching applications. |
| IC | −100 mA: Continuous collector current rating; sets load-driving capability in low-side switch configurations. |
| hFE | 290–460: DC current gain at −10 V VCE, −2 mA IC; determines base drive requirements for saturation. |
| VCE(sat) | −500 mV max at −100 mA IC, −10 mA IB: Low saturation voltage minimizes conduction loss in switching mode. |
| fT | 80 MHz: Transition frequency at −10 V VCE, −1 mA IC; indicates usable bandwidth for small-signal amplification. |
| Rth(j-a) | 500 K/W: Junction-to-ambient thermal resistance on FR4 PCB; informs derating needed above 25 °C ambient. |
Pinout & Package
SOT23 plastic surface-mount package: 3-terminal, 1.9 mm pitch, 2.9 mm × 1.3 mm × 1.0 mm body, tin-plated copper leads.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Base (B) | Control terminal; requires negative bias relative to emitter to forward-bias base-emitter junction in PNP operation. |
| 2 | Emitter (E) | Current source terminal; connected to higher potential in typical common-emitter switch configuration. |
| 3 | Collector (C) | Current sink terminal; delivers load current to ground or lower-potential rail when saturated. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Two hFE selections | Guaranteed 290–460 range enables consistent biasing across production batches without recalibration. |
| Low VCE(sat) | ≤ −500 mV ensures <1% voltage drop across transistor in saturated switching, improving efficiency in battery-powered loads. |
| SOT23 footprint | Standardized 3-pin SMD outline allows drop-in replacement in space-constrained PCB layouts with automated assembly support. |
| Non-automotive qualification | Designed for industrial, consumer, and computing applications; not tested to AEC-Q101 or automotive reliability standards. |
Applications
| LED Driver Circuit | Level-Shifting Interface |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Driving low-current indicator LEDs from microcontroller GPIO pins operating at 3.3 V or 5 V logic levels. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: PNP switch controlling LED anode connection to supply rail; emitter tied to VCC, collector to LED cathode. Use Value: −500 mV VCE(sat) ensures minimal voltage headroom loss, enabling full brightness even with 2.8 V red LEDs on 3.3 V rails. | Use Scenario: Translating 1.8 V logic signals to 5 V domains in mixed-voltage digital systems. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Active-low level shifter using PNP configuration with pull-up resistors on both sides. Use Value: 80 MHz fT and fast switching enable reliable translation of signals up to ~5 MHz without distortion. |
| Audio Pre-amplifier Stage | Power Supply Enable Switch |
Use Scenario: Low-noise voltage amplification in portable audio front-ends before ADC input. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Common-emitter amplifier biased in active region; configured for mid-band gain stability. Use Value: 290–460 hFE tolerance supports predictable gain setting with feedback resistors; low ICBO (<10 nA) reduces offset drift. | Use Scenario: Enabling/disabling auxiliary 3.3 V or 5 V rails via MCU-controlled high-side switch. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-side PNP pass element with base driven through current-limiting resistor from GPIO. Use Value: −45 V VCEO provides 10× margin over 5 V rail, ensuring robustness against transient overshoot during hot-swap events. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar PNP general-purpose transistor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BC807-40,215 | Same SOT23 package; hFE = 250–630; VCEO = −45 V; IC = −500 mA | Higher current rating supports heavier loads but increases capacitance (Cc = 8 pF vs. 5 pF), reducing high-frequency response. | Select when >100 mA load current is required and fT > 50 MHz is not critical. |
| MMBT3906LT1G | SOT23 package; hFE = 100–300; VCEO = −40 V; IC = −200 mA; Rth(j-a) = 400 K/W | Lower hFE range demands higher base drive; slightly reduced voltage rating limits use in 40+ V systems. | Select when tighter thermal performance is needed and gain variation can be accommodated in circuit design. |
Compared with BC807-40,215 and MMBT3906LT1G, the 2PB709ASL,215 offers tighter hFE distribution and lower Cc, making it preferable for precision biasing and moderate-speed switching where predictable gain and minimal capacitive loading matter.

FAQ
Is the 2PB709ASL,215 qualified for automotive applications?
No. The 2PB709ASL,215 is explicitly marked as non-automotive qualified in its revision history. It has not undergone AEC-Q101 stress testing or automotive-grade reliability screening. For automotive use, Nexperia recommends the −Q qualified variants such as 2PB709AQ,215, which include extended temperature range validation and enhanced ESD robustness.
What is the maximum allowable base current for continuous operation?
The absolute maximum peak base current is −100 mA per the limiting values table, but for continuous DC operation, the recommended limit is derived from Ptot = 250 mW and VBE ≈ −0.75 V. At IB = −10 mA, power dissipation in the base-emitter junction remains well below 10 mW, supporting reliable long-term biasing without thermal runaway.
Can the 2PB709ASL,215 replace the 2N3906 in existing designs?
Yes, with verification. Both are PNP SOT23 transistors with similar VCEO (−40 V vs. −45 V) and IC ratings (−200 mA vs. −100 mA). However, the 2PB709ASL,215 has higher hFE (290–460 vs. 100–300) and lower Cc (5 pF vs. 4.5 pF), potentially altering high-frequency response and bias point stability-circuit revalidation is advised.
Does the marking code 'SL%' indicate RoHS compliance?
Yes. The 'SL%' marking on the 2PB709ASL,215 die corresponds to Nexperia's standard RoHS-compliant, halogen-free manufacturing process. Full compliance documentation-including substance declarations and test reports-is available upon request from Aetrix Electronics' technical support team.
