Product details
Overview
PBRN113ET from Nexperia is an NPN resistor-equipped transistor (RET) in SOT23 package, designed as a low-VCEsat switching device with integrated 1 kΩ base bias resistors (R1 = R2 = 1 kΩ), rated for 40 V VCEO and 600 mA continuous output current, commonly used in automotive digital load switching and industrial peripheral drivers.
For engineers reviewing the PBRN113ET datasheet, PBRN113ET pinout, PBRN113ET application, or PBRN113ET equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, validated SOT23 terminal mapping, confirmed automotive/industrial use cases, and two functionally aligned alternatives with documented resistor ratio and saturation voltage differences.
Technical Context
This RET integrates two precision-matched 1 kΩ bias resistors (R1 = R2 = 1 kΩ, ±10 % ratio tolerance) to eliminate external base drive components and ensure stable turn-on/turn-off behavior under varying temperature conditions. Its low 320–550 mV VCEsat at 600 mA enables efficient medium-current switching without external heat sinking.
The device operates as a single-stage digital switch with defined input threshold voltages: VI(on) = 1.0–1.8 V (at IC = 20 mA) and VI(off) = 0.6–1.5 V (at IC = 100 µA), supporting direct interfacing with 3.3 V and 5 V logic families while maintaining noise immunity.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCEO | 40 V - Maximum collector-emitter blocking voltage before breakdown; defines safe operating range in 24 V automotive and 36 V industrial supply rails. |
| IO | 600 mA - Continuous DC output current capability; supports driving solenoids, relays, and LED arrays without derating at Tamb ≤ 70 °C. |
| VCEsat | 320–550 mV @ IC = 600 mA, IB = 6 mA - Low saturation voltage minimizes conduction loss and self-heating during sustained on-state operation. |
| R1 / R2 | 1 kΩ / 1 kΩ (R2/R1 = 0.9–1.1) - Matched internal bias network eliminates need for external resistors and reduces PCB footprint by ~3 mm². |
| hFE | 270–420 @ IC = 800 mA - High DC current gain ensures robust saturation even with marginal base drive, improving design margin in noisy environments. |
| Tj max | 150 °C - Maximum junction temperature rating allows reliable operation in under-hood automotive locations and sealed industrial enclosures. |
Pinout & Package
SOT23 (TO-236AB) plastic surface-mount package: 2.9 mm × 1.3 mm × 1.0 mm body, 1.9 mm lead pitch, FR4-compatible footprint with standard reflow profile.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Input (base) | Internal connection to R1; accepts logic-level control signal directly-no series resistor required. |
| 2 | GND (emitter) | Emitter tied to system ground; serves as common reference for both bias network and load return path. |
| 3 | Output (collector) | High-side switching node; connects to load (e.g., relay coil or LED string) with 40 V withstand capability. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated bias resistors | Eliminates 2 external SMD resistors, reducing BOM count and placement cost in high-volume automotive modules. |
| Low VCEsat at full load | 320 mV min at 600 mA enables <190 mW conduction loss-critical for thermally constrained PCB layouts. |
| ±10 % R2/R1 tolerance | Ensures predictable turn-on threshold across temperature (−40 °C to +125 °C) and process variation. |
| FR4-optimized thermal resistance | Rth(j-a) = 500 K/W on standard PCB-supports >500 mA continuous operation without copper pour enhancement. |
Applications
| Automotive Door Module | Industrial PLC Output Stage |
|---|---|

Use Value: 320 mV VCEsat limits LED current-sense voltage drop, preserving accuracy of analog brightness control loops. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar NPN resistor-equipped transistor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| NSV11201T1G | R1 = 10 kΩ, R2 = 10 kΩ; VCEsat = 450–750 mV @ 500 mA; hFE = 100–200 | Higher input impedance but lower current gain and higher saturation loss-suitable only for ≤300 mA loads. | Select when legacy 10 kΩ base drive compatibility is required and thermal budget permits +150 mW extra loss. |
| PDTC124EK,215 | R1 = 22 kΩ, R2 = 47 kΩ; VCEsat = 100–250 mV @ 100 mA; not rated above 200 mA continuous | Optimized for low-power logic buffering-not validated for 600 mA switching or automotive transients. | Choose only for signal-level switching where load current remains below 150 mA and ambient temperature stays <60 °C. |
Compared with NSV11201T1G and PDTC124EK,215, the PBRN113ET uniquely delivers 600 mA capability with matched 1 kΩ biasing and sub-550 mV VCEsat, making it the only option qualified for sustained 24 V industrial load switching without external heatsinking.

FAQ
What is the maximum pulsed output current rating for PBRN113ET?
The PBRN113ET supports 800 mA repetitive peak output current (IORM) with pulse width ≤1 ms and duty cycle ≤0.33, verified per IEC 60134 limiting values. This enables short-duration surge handling for relay coil energization and motor startup without exceeding junction temperature limits.
Can PBRN113ET replace a discrete BJT + two resistors in existing designs?
Yes-PBRN113ET provides direct drop-in replacement for NPN BJTs like BC847 with 1 kΩ base resistors, retaining identical SOT23 footprint and pinout. Its built-in R1/R2 network matches typical 1:1 bias configurations, eliminating layout changes and reducing assembly steps.
Is PBRN113ET qualified for automotive applications?
No-this part is not AEC-Q101 qualified. While widely used in automotive body electronics, it lacks formal qualification documentation and is intended for non-safety-critical functions. For AEC-Q101-compliant equivalents, consult Nexperia's Automotive PB RET portfolio (e.g., PBRN113X series).
How does thermal performance compare between standard PCB and enhanced pad layout?
On standard FR4 (35 µm Cu, no thermal pad), Rth(j-a) = 500 K/W limits continuous 600 mA operation to Tamb ≤ 70 °C. With a 1 cm² collector pad, Rth(j-sp) drops to 105 K/W, enabling full-rated current up to 105 °C ambient-verified in Nexperia's thermal characterization data.
