Product details
Overview
PBRN113ZT-QR from Nexperia is a 40 V, 600 mA NPN resistor-equipped transistor (RET) in SOT23 package, integrating R1 = 1 kΩ and R2 = 10 kΩ bias resistors for simplified switching control. It delivers low VCE(sat) (typ. 450 mV at 50 mA), high hFE (25–35 at IC = 50 mA), and AEC-Q101 qualification-used as a medium-current peripheral driver in automotive body control modules.
For engineers reviewing the PBRN113ZT-QR datasheet, PBRN113ZT-QR pinout, PBRN113ZT-QR application, or PBRN113ZT-QR equivalent, key selection criteria include verified R1/R2 tolerance (±10 %), thermal resistance (Rth(j-a) = 500 K/W on FR4), collector-emitter breakdown voltage (40 V), and automotive-grade reliability validation per AEC-Q101.
Technical Context
This NPN PB RET integrates two precision bias resistors to eliminate external base drive components and enable direct logic-level interfacing. Its internal R1–R2 network sets fixed current gain control, with R2/R1 ratio tightly controlled at 9–11, supporting stable saturation across temperature (−40 °C to 150 °C).
The device operates as a single-stage digital switch with defined off-state input voltage (VI(off) = 0.3–1 V) and on-state input voltage (VI(on) = 0.4–1.4 V), enabling robust noise margin in 3.3 V/5 V microcontroller I/O-driven loads. Thermal design relies on its 105 K/W junction-to-solder-point resistance under optimized PCB layout.
Key Specifications

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| ON Semiconductor NSS12500UW3T1G | R1 = 2.2 kΩ, R2 = 47 kΩ (R2/R1 ≈ 21.4); VCEO = 50 V; IO = 100 mA | Higher voltage rating but lower current capability; suited for low-power logic buffering, not 600 mA loads. | Select when higher VCEO margin is needed and load current ≤100 mA. |
| ROHM UMT1N (UMT1NTR) | R1 = 10 kΩ, R2 = 10 kΩ (R2/R1 = 1); VCEO = 50 V; IO = 150 mA; no AEC-Q101 certification | Unity resistor ratio limits gain control flexibility; lacks automotive qualification and thermal performance data. | Acceptable for non-automotive industrial use where AEC-Q101 is not required and load current ≤150 mA. |

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous collector current for PBRN113ZT-QR under standard PCB conditions?
The maximum continuous collector current is 600 mA when mounted on an FR4 PCB with single-sided 35 μm copper, tin-plated, and standard footprint per datasheet Section 4. This rating assumes Tamb ≤ 25 °C and accounts for thermal derating above ambient temperature using the published power derating curve.
Does PBRN113ZT-QR require external base resistors for operation?
No. PBRN113ZT-QR integrates R1 = 1 kΩ and R2 = 10 kΩ internally, forming a complete bias network. It is designed for direct connection to logic-level inputs (e.g., 3.3 V or 5 V MCU GPIO) without external resistors-reducing BOM count and PCB area.
Is PBRN113ZT-QR suitable for PWM-driven loads?
Yes. With typical VCE(sat) of 450 mV at 50 mA and 720 mV at 600 mA (pulsed), plus hFE > 450 at 800 mA pulsed conditions, it supports PWM frequencies up to 20 kHz for fan and valve control while maintaining low conduction loss and thermal stability.
How does the R2/R1 ratio affect switching behavior in PBRN113ZT-QR?
The R2/R1 ratio of 10 ±10 % sets the internal base current division, directly determining saturation depth and turn-off speed. A tighter ratio ensures consistent IB/IC relationship across temperature and process variation, enabling predictable switching thresholds and reduced sensitivity to supply voltage drift.
