Product details
Overview
NSCT2907ALT3G from onsemi is a PNP silicon general-purpose transistor in SOT-23 package, rated for −60 V VCEO, −600 mA IC, and 225 mW power dissipation on FR-5 board. It delivers hFE = 75–300 (at IC = −0.1 to −500 mA), VCE(sat) ≤ −0.4 V (at IC = −150 mA, IB = −15 mA), and fT = 200 MHz - used in low-voltage switching and signal amplification circuits in portable power management.
For engineers reviewing the NSCT2907ALT3G datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include verified PNP polarity, SOT-23 footprint compatibility, guaranteed −60 V breakdown rating, and documented 200 MHz fT performance under defined bias conditions.
Technical Context
This device operates as a discrete bipolar junction transistor with fixed PNP polarity, designed for linear amplification and saturated switching in DC-coupled or low-frequency AC signal paths. Its electrical behavior is defined by base-emitter forward conduction, collector-emitter current control via hFE, and saturation voltage limits under specified IC/IB ratios.
Thermal design relies on validated RJA = 556 °C/W (FR-5) and 417 °C/W (alumina), with derating slopes of 1.8 mW/°C and 2.4 mW/°C respectively. Junction temperature must remain within −55°C to +150°C across all operating conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCEO | −60 Vdc - maximum allowable collector-emitter voltage before breakdown under open-base condition |
| IC (max) | −600 mAdc - continuous collector current limit defining safe DC conduction capacity |
| hFE | 75–300 - DC current gain range across IC = −0.1 mA to −500 mA, critical for bias stability |
| VCE(sat) | ≤ −0.4 V - collector-emitter voltage at IC = −150 mA / IB = −15 mA, determines on-state power loss |
| fT | 200 MHz - unity-gain frequency at IC = −50 mA, VCE = −20 V, sets small-signal bandwidth limit |
| PD (FR-5) | 225 mW @ 25°C - total power dissipation limit on standard PCB material, with 1.8 mW/°C derating |
Pinout & Package
SOT-23 (Case 318, Style 6) surface-mount plastic package with gull-wing leads; dimensions: 2.90 mm × 1.30 mm × 0.95 mm (L × W × H); Pb-free finish.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Base | Control terminal for injecting base current to enable collector-emitter conduction |
| 2 | Emitter | Current source terminal for PNP operation; connected to higher potential in typical biasing |
| 3 | Collector | Current sink terminal; carries load current when device is active or saturated |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Pb-free construction | Complies with RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and JEDEC JS709B; no lead content in terminations or die attach |
| High fT | 200 MHz gain-bandwidth product enables stable amplification up to ~50 MHz in common-emitter configurations |
| Low VCE(sat) | −0.4 V at IC/IB = 10 reduces conduction loss in battery-powered switch applications |
| Wide hFE range | 75–300 supports consistent gain across production lots without binning for moderate-precision analog stages |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar PNP transistor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MMBT2907ALT1G | Identical electrical specs and SOT-23 package; differs only in date code marking and tape/reel packaging configuration (3000 vs 10,000 units per reel) | No functional difference; suitable for same circuit roles including switching and amplification | Select based on volume requirements and logistics preference - both meet identical onsemi specification NSCT2907A |
| PN2907A | Same die but TO-92 package (larger footprint, higher RJA = 200°C/W), lower max IC = −600 mA (same rating) but reduced fT = 100 MHz | Not suitable for space-constrained SMT designs; better thermal performance in free-air but incompatible with automated SMT assembly | Choose NSCT2907ALT3G for SMT production; PN2907A only where through-hole mounting or higher single-pulse power handling is required |
Compared with MMBT2907ALT1G and PN2907A, the NSCT2907ALT3G provides identical core transistor performance in the industry-standard SOT-23 footprint, enabling direct placement in high-density layouts while maintaining full compatibility with existing 2907A-based schematics and thermal models.

FAQ
What is the maximum collector-emitter voltage rating for NSCT2907ALT3G?
The NSCT2907ALT3G has a maximum collector-emitter voltage rating of −60 Vdc, specified as V(BR)CEO under test condition IC = −10 mAdc with base open. This rating applies across the full operating temperature range and defines the absolute upper limit for safe DC voltage stress between collector and emitter terminals in the NSCT2907ALT3G.
Is NSCT2907ALT3G compatible with lead-free reflow soldering processes?
Yes, the NSCT2907ALT3G is explicitly marked as Pb-free in its ordering information and complies with JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level (MSL) requirements for standard reflow profiles. Its SOT-23 package is qualified for peak reflow temperatures up to 260°C, and the device meets RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU without exemption.
What is the typical DC current gain (hFE) of NSCT2907ALT3G at 150 mA collector current?
At IC = −150 mAdc and VCE = −10 Vdc, the NSCT2907ALT3G exhibits a minimum hFE of 100 and a maximum of 300, per the Electrical Characteristics table. This gain range ensures predictable biasing in switching applications where IC/IB = 10 is commonly used - directly supporting the −0.4 V VCE(sat) specification for the NSCT2907ALT3G.
Does NSCT2907ALT3G have a specified noise figure for small-signal amplification?
No, the NSCT2907ALT3G datasheet does not specify a noise figure (NF). While Figure 7 shows typical NF curves for related 2907A variants at IC = −50 µA to −1 mA, those plots are labeled for "NSCT2907A" without part-specific validation. The NSCT2907ALT3G datasheet omits NF values in its Electrical Characteristics table and does not guarantee noise performance - use only in non-critical low-noise applications or validate empirically.
Can NSCT2907ALT3G replace PN2907A in existing designs?
The NSCT2907ALT3G shares identical electrical parameters with the PN2907A but uses an SOT-23 package instead of TO-92. Direct replacement requires PCB layout modification due to different footprint, pad geometry, and thermal path. While electrical behavior matches, mechanical fit and thermal resistance (RJA = 556 °C/W vs 200 °C/W) differ significantly - redesign verification is mandatory before substituting NSCT2907ALT3G for PN2907A.
