Nexperia USA Inc. PBRP113ZT,215

Overview

PBRP113ZT from Nexperia is a PNP Resistor-Equipped Transistor (RET) in SOT23 package, designed for medium-current switching with −40 V V_CEO, −600 mA I_O, built-in R1 = 1 kΩ and R2/R1 = 10 ratio, 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 PBRP113ZT datasheet, PBRP113ZT pinout, PBRP113ZT application, or PBRP113ZT equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, validated SOT23 terminal mapping, confirmed automotive-grade switching use cases, and two functionally aligned alternatives with documented resistor-ratio and saturation voltage differences.

Technical Context

This PNP RET integrates base biasing network (R1 = 1 kΩ, R2 = 10 kΩ) to eliminate external resistors, enabling direct logic-level drive with VI(on) = −0.7 V typical at −20 mA collector current. Its −40 V V_CEO rating supports 12 V and 24 V automotive rail operation, while ±10 % R2/R1 tolerance ensures predictable turn-on thresholds across temperature.

The device operates with h_FE = 190–270 at −600 mA pulsed conditions and maintains V_CEsat ≤ −750 mV max under same stress, delivering stable low-loss switching in thermally constrained SMT layouts. Thermal resistance R_th(j-sp) = 105 K/W enables reliable power handling up to 370 mW on standard FR4 PCBs.

FAQ

What is the maximum continuous collector current for PBRP113ZT?

The maximum continuous collector current is −600 mA at T_amb = 25 °C on a standard FR4 PCB with 35 μm copper. At higher ambient temperatures or reduced copper area, derating applies per Figure 1: e.g., 250 mW limit at 125 °C ambient reduces usable current to approximately −350 mA.

Can PBRP113ZT be used in automotive applications?

Yes-PBRP113ZT is qualified for automotive digital applications per its −40 V V_CEO, −55 °C to +150 °C operating range, and robust transient performance. It is not AEC-Q101 qualified, so it is intended for non-safety-critical functions such as interior lighting and window controls-not airbag or braking systems.

How does the built-in R2/R1 ratio affect switching behavior?

The R2/R1 = 10 ±10 % ratio sets the internal voltage divider that defines VI(on) and VI(off) thresholds. At −0.7 V input, the transistor turns on reliably; at −0.5 V, it remains off with ICEO ≤ −0.5 µA-ensuring noise immunity in noisy 12 V environments without external Schmitt triggers.

Is PBRP113ZT pin-compatible with standard SOT23 transistors?

Yes-its SOT23 (TO-236AB) footprint matches JEDEC MO-203-AB, allowing drop-in replacement in existing layouts. However, pin 1 is input (base), pin 2 is emitter (GND), and pin 3 is collector (output), differing from many discrete PNP transistors where emitter is pin 1-PCB layout must verify terminal assignment.
