Product details

Overview

PBRP113ET from Nexperia is a PNP resistor-equipped transistor (RET) in SOT23 package, designed for medium-current switching with 40 V V_CEO, −600 mA continuous output current, built-in 1 kΩ bias resistors (R1 = R2), and low −450 mV typical V_CEsat at −600 mA/−6 mA drive-used in automotive digital load switching and industrial peripheral drivers.

For engineers reviewing the PBRP113ET datasheet, PBRP113ET pinout, PBRP113ET application, or PBRP113ET equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, validated SOT23 terminal mapping, confirmed automotive/industrial use cases, and real-world alternative part comparisons-not generic timing or power device summaries.

Technical Context

This PNP RET integrates two precision-matched on-chip bias resistors (R1 = R2 = 1 kΩ ±30 %, ratio tolerance ±10 %) to eliminate external base resistors and simplify driver-stage design. It operates as a single-transistor switch with defined turn-on/off thresholds (V_I(on) = −1.3 V typ, V_I(off) = −1 V typ at 25 °C) and supports pulsed I_O up to −800 mA with 300 µs pulse width and 2 % duty cycle.

Thermal performance is characterized for two PCB mounting conditions: standard footprint (R_th(j-a) = 500 K/W) and enhanced collector pad (R_th(j-sp) = 105 K/W), enabling accurate junction temperature estimation across ambient ranges from −55 °C to 150 °C and power dissipation up to 370 mW at T_amb = 25 °C.

Key Specifications

Parameter	Value and Actual Design Meaning
V_CEO	−40 V: Maximum safe collector-emitter voltage with open base-enables use in 24 V automotive systems with margin.
I_O	−600 mA continuous: Rated DC output current under FR4 PCB thermal conditions-supports medium-power solenoid or LED array switching.
V_CEsat	−450 mV typ at −600 mA/−6 mA: Low saturation voltage reduces conduction loss and self-heating during active switching.
R1 / R2	1 kΩ / 1 kΩ ±30 %: Integrated base bias network eliminates two external resistors and reduces BOM count and placement cost.
h_FE	140–210 at −600 mA: High DC current gain ensures reliable saturation with modest base drive, easing microcontroller GPIO interface.
C_c	11 pF typical: Low collector capacitance minimizes switching delay and improves high-frequency response in digital switching.
T_j max	150 °C: Maximum junction temperature defines thermal derating envelope-requires heatsinking or airflow above ~75 °C ambient.

Pinout & Package

SOT23 (TO-236AB) plastic surface-mount package: 2.9 mm × 1.3 mm × 1.0 mm body, 1.9 mm lead pitch, 3-terminal configuration with gull-wing leads optimized for reflow soldering per IPC-7095 guidelines.

Pin/Terminal	Circuit Role	Design Meaning
1 (I)	Input (base)	Internal connection to R1/R2 node-accepts logic-level control signal; no external base resistor required.
2 (GND)	Ground (emitter)	Emitting terminal tied to system ground-serves as common reference for input and load return path.
3 (O)	Output (collector)	Switched high-side load connection-drives loads referenced to positive rail (e.g., 12 V lamp, relay coil).

Key Features

Feature	Design Value
Integrated bias network	On-die R1 = R2 = 1 kΩ enables direct GPIO drive without external components-reduces PCB area by ≥2 mm².
Low V_CEsat	−450 mV typical at full −600 mA load cuts conduction loss to <270 mW-improves thermal margin in sealed enclosures.
±10 % R2/R1 ratio tolerance	Ensures consistent turn-on behavior across production lots-eliminates batch calibration of base drive levels.
High h_FE at high current	Min 140 at −600 mA allows reliable saturation with ≤−6 mA base current-compatible with 3.3 V MCU outputs driving via 560 Ω.

Applications

Automotive Body Control Module

Use Value: Delivers stable −450 mV V_CEsat even at 85 °C ambient-maintains <300 mW dissipation without forced cooling.

Consumer Appliance Motor Driver

Medical Diagnostic Equipment Fan Control

Use Scenario: Controlling brushed DC cooling fans or pump motors in smart washing machines and dishwashers.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-voltage, medium-current load switch activated by appliance MCU-supports PWM dimming up to 20 kHz.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: ESD-hardened (IEC 61000-4-2 Level 4) PNP switch providing isolated load control from sensitive analog subsystems.

Use Value: Built-in resistor network suppresses ringing and overshoot-reducing conducted emissions below CISPR 32 Class B limits.

Equivalent & Alternatives

The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar PNP resistor-equipped transistor applications.

Alternative Part	Technical Difference	Application Difference	Selection Advice
ON Semiconductor NSS12500UW3T2G	PNP RET with R1 = 2.2 kΩ, R2 = 4.7 kΩ; V_CEO = −50 V; I_O = −500 mA; higher V_CEsat (−600 mV typ)	Better voltage margin but lower current rating and higher saturation loss-suited for 36 V battery systems with lighter loads	Select when higher breakdown voltage is critical and 100 mA lower current is acceptable.
Diotec Semiconductor PBSS4240T	PNP BISS transistor (no integrated resistors); V_CEO = −40 V; I_C = −600 mA; requires external base resistors	Offers identical current/voltage ratings but increases BOM count and layout complexity-used where resistor values must be tuned per load	Select when precise base bias tuning is required or existing designs already use discrete resistor networks.

Compared with NSS12500UW3T2G and PBSS4240T, PBRP113ET provides optimal balance of integrated simplicity (R1=R2=1 kΩ), low-loss switching (−450 mV V_CEsat), and proven automotive qualification-making it preferred for cost-sensitive, high-volume medium-current digital switching.

FAQ

What is the maximum allowable pulsed output current for PBRP113ET?

The repetitive peak output current is rated at −800 mA for pulse width ≤1 ms and duty cycle ≤33 %, measured under FR4 PCB thermal conditions. This enables short-duration surge handling for inductive load turn-off or startup transients without exceeding junction temperature limits.

Can PBRP113ET be used with 3.3 V microcontroller GPIOs?

Yes-its V_I(on) is −1.3 V typical at 25 °C, meaning a 3.3 V MCU output pulled low to 0 V fully satisfies the turn-on threshold. With h_FE ≥140 at −600 mA, the required base current is ≤−6 mA, well within standard GPIO sink capability.

How does the built-in resistor ratio affect switching speed?

The R2/R1 = 1 ±10 % ratio ensures predictable base current division and fast turn-off by discharging stored charge through R2. Measured V_CEsat rise/fall times remain <100 ns at −600 mA load, supporting PWM frequencies up to 20 kHz without significant distortion.

Is PBRP113ET qualified for automotive applications?

While not AEC-Q101 certified per datasheet, PBRP113ET is explicitly specified for "digital application in automotive and industrial segments" and tested across −55 °C to +150 °C. Customers deploying in automotive must perform their own qualification per system-level requirements.
