Product details
Overview
PBRP123ET from Nexperia is a PNP resistor-equipped transistor (RET) in SOT23 package, designed for medium-current switching with −40 V VCEO, −600 mA IO, built-in 2.2 kΩ bias resistors (R1 = R2), and low −450 mV typical VCEsat at −600 mA/−6 mA drive-used in automotive digital load switching and industrial peripheral drivers.
For engineers reviewing the PBRP123ET datasheet, PBRP123ET pinout, PBRP123ET application, or PBRP123ET equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, validated SOT23 terminal mapping, real-world switching use cases, and confirmed alternative RETs with documented resistor ratio and saturation voltage differences.
Technical Context
This PNP RET integrates two precision-matched 2.2 kΩ bias resistors (R1 = R2, ±10 % ratio tolerance) to enable direct logic-level drive without external base components. Its −40 V collector-emitter breakdown and −600 mA DC output support robust switching of inductive and resistive loads in 12 V/24 V automotive subsystems.
The device operates with guaranteed −750 mV max VCEsat at −600 mA and −6 mA base current under pulsed conditions (tp ≤ 300 µs, δ ≤ 0.02), and maintains hFE ≥ 170 at −600 mA, enabling high-efficiency current amplification in compact PCB layouts.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCEO | −40 V - Maximum safe collector-emitter voltage with open base; enables use in 24 V automotive rails with margin. |
| IO | −600 mA - Continuous DC output current rating; supports medium-power solenoids, relays, and LED arrays. |
| VCEsat | −450 mV (typ), −750 mV (max) at −600 mA/−6 mA - Low conduction loss reduces heat generation and improves system efficiency. |
| R1 / R2 | 2.2 kΩ each (1.54–2.86 kΩ range) - Integrated bias network eliminates 2 external resistors and simplifies layout. |
| R2/R1 Ratio | 0.9–1.1 - Tight ±10 % matching ensures stable turn-on threshold and consistent switching behavior across temperature. |
| hFE | 170–240 at −600 mA - High DC current gain allows low-base-drive designs, reducing MCU GPIO loading. |
| Ptot | 370 mW at Tamb = 25 °C - Power dissipation limit defines thermal design envelope on standard FR4 PCB. |
Pinout & Package
SOT23 (TO-236AB) plastic surface-mount package: 3-terminal, 1.9 mm pitch, 2.9 mm × 1.3 mm × 1.0 mm body, tin-plated leads, optimized for reflow and wave soldering per IPC-7095.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Input (base) | Driven through internal R1; accepts TTL/CMOS logic levels directly without series resistor. |
| 2 | GND (emitter) | Common emitter reference; connects to system ground plane; serves as return path for base and load currents. |
| 3 | Output (collector) | Switches high-side loads referenced to positive rail; requires external load between VCC and pin 3. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated bias network | Matched R1 = R2 = 2.2 kΩ eliminates external base resistors and reduces BOM count by two passive components. |
| Low VCEsat | −450 mV typ at −600 mA enables <150 mW conduction loss, minimizing thermal stress in space-constrained modules. |
| High hFE | ≥170 at full −600 mA output ensures reliable saturation with ≤−6 mA base drive-compatible with 3.3 V/5 V microcontrollers. |
| Automotive-grade reliability | Rated for −55 °C to +150 °C ambient operation and qualified per AEC-Q101 stress test requirements. |
Applications
| Automotive Door Module | Industrial PLC Output Stage |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Switching power windows, mirror controls, and interior lighting in 12 V vehicle architectures. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: PNP RET acts as grounded-emitter load switch, turning ON/OFF 12 V loads via MCU GPIO.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Medium-current interface device translating 3.3 V logic signals into 24 V switched outputs. Use Value: −600 mA rating and −450 mV VCEsat ensure <200 mW dissipation at full load, avoiding heatsink requirement in DIN-rail enclosures. |
| USB-C Power Delivery Hub | Smart Home Sensor Node |
Use Scenario: Controlling VBUS path switches and auxiliary power rails in multi-port USB-C PD hubs. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-speed PNP switch enabling/disabling 5–20 V power paths with <1 µs turn-off delay. Use Value: Tight R2/R1 ratio (0.9–1.1) guarantees consistent VI(on) and VI(off) thresholds across temperature, ensuring deterministic power sequencing. |

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-quiescent-current load switch isolating non-critical subsystems during sleep mode. Use Value: −100 nA ICBO and −0.5 µA ICEO minimize leakage-induced battery drain, extending 2-AA cell life beyond 2 years. |
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| PBRP114ET | R1 = 10 kΩ, R2 = 10 kΩ; lower IO (−100 mA); higher VCEsat (−950 mV max) | Optimized for low-power logic-level buffering, not medium-current load switching | Select when base drive current must be <−100 µA and load current stays below −100 mA |
| PDTC143ZT | PNP RET with R1 = 4.7 kΩ, R2 = 47 kΩ (10:1 ratio); −500 mA IO; −800 mV VCEsat max | Designed for high-gain, low-base-current switching with asymmetric biasing | Choose where precise VI(on)/VI(off) hysteresis is required, e.g., noise-immune signal conditioning |
Compared with PBRP123ET, PBRP114ET trades current capability and saturation voltage for ultra-low base current, while PDTC143ZT offers higher input impedance and defined hysteresis at the cost of reduced output current and higher conduction loss.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous junction temperature for PBRP123ET?
The absolute maximum junction temperature (Tj) is 150 °C, as defined in IEC 60134 limiting values. Operation above this threshold risks permanent parametric shift or failure. Derating is required above 25 °C ambient-e.g., Ptot drops to 250 mW at 75 °C ambient per the published derating curve.
Can PBRP123ET replace a discrete PNP transistor plus two external resistors?
Yes-it replaces a BC807-40 or similar PNP BJT plus 2.2 kΩ base resistors in single-input configurations. The integrated R1/R2 network provides identical biasing functionality with tighter ratio tolerance (±10 %) and guaranteed matching, eliminating manual resistor selection and placement.
Is PBRP123ET qualified for automotive applications?
Yes-PBRP123ET is AEC-Q101 qualified and rated for −55 °C to +150 °C operating temperature. It meets automotive stress test requirements including HTGB, AC/DC life test, and ESD (HBM ≥ 8 kV), making it suitable for body control modules and non-safety-critical power distribution.
How does the R2/R1 ratio affect switching behavior?
A 0.9–1.1 R2/R1 ratio ensures predictable VI(on) (−1.0 to −1.3 V) and VI(off) (−0.6 to −1.0 V) thresholds, enabling clean logic-level interfacing without external hysteresis. This tight matching prevents erratic turn-on/turn-off in noisy environments like engine bays or factory floors.
