Product details
Overview
PBSS304ND,115 from NXP Semiconductors is an 80 V, 3 A NPN low VCEsat Breakthrough In Small Signal (BISS) transistor in SOT457 (SC-74) package, designed for high-voltage switching roles in power stage interfaces. It delivers 68 mΩ typical RCEsat at IC = 2 A / IB = 200 mA, supports 6 A peak collector current, and operates up to 150 °C junction temperature-enabling compact, thermally efficient high-side switch designs in DC-DC converters and motor drivers.
For engineers reviewing the PBSS304ND,115 datasheet, PBSS304ND,115 pinout, PBSS304ND,115 application, or PBSS304ND,115 equivalent, this part is selected for high-voltage gate driving, high-efficiency power switching, and space-constrained automotive and industrial control where low saturation voltage and high current gain at elevated IC are critical.
Technical Context
This BISS transistor uses a proprietary epitaxial structure to achieve ultra-low VCEsat while maintaining high hFE (115–165 at IC = 2 A) and robust 80 V VCEO/VCBO. Its four-collector-terminal configuration (Pins 1, 2, 5, 6) reduces bond wire resistance and thermal impedance, directly supporting high-current pulse handling (6 A, tp ≤ 1 ms) and improved power dissipation on FR4 or ceramic PCBs.
Switching performance is characterized by 13 ns delay time, 167 ns rise time, and 583 ns turn-off time under VCC = 9.2 V, IC = 2 A conditions. The device exhibits fT = 140 MHz and Cc = 18 pF, confirming suitability for medium-frequency switching applications without compromising gain-bandwidth trade-offs.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCEO | 80 V - Enables use in 48 V and 60 V bus systems with margin for transient overvoltage. |
| IC continuous | 3 A - Supports sustained load currents in motor drivers and DC-DC primary switches without forced cooling. |
| RCEsat | 68–88 mΩ - Reduces conduction loss to <0.6 W at 3 A, lowering thermal stress and PCB area vs. standard transistors. |
| hFE @ IC = 2 A | 115–165 - Ensures reliable saturation with modest base drive (200 mA), simplifying driver circuit design. |
| toff | 583 ns - Enables switching frequencies up to ~300 kHz in hard-switched topologies with controlled losses. |
| Tj max | 150 °C - Allows operation in under-hood automotive environments and sealed industrial enclosures. |
| Cc | 18 pF - Limits Miller capacitance, improving gate drive efficiency and reducing EMI in high-dV/dt applications. |
Pinout & Package
SOT457 (SC-74) 6-pin surface-mount plastic package with exposed collector pads (Pins 1, 2, 5, 6) for enhanced thermal conduction and current sharing. Package dimensions: 3.0 × 1.7 × 0.95 mm (L × W × H); pitch = 0.65 mm.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 5, 6 | Collector | Four parallel collector terminals reduce effective RDS(on)-equivalent resistance and improve thermal spreading to PCB copper. |
| 3 | Base | Single base input for standard current-driven switching; requires 200 mA for full saturation at 2 A IC. |
| 4 | Emitter | Common emitter reference; tied to ground or low-side return path in high-side switch configurations. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low VCEsat | 135–175 mV at IC = 2 A / IB = 200 mA - Minimizes conduction loss and self-heating in high-duty-cycle operation. |
| High current gain at high IC | hFE ≥ 115 at IC = 2 A - Enables direct microcontroller GPIO drive or minimal buffer stages in cost-sensitive designs. |
| Multi-collector architecture | Four dedicated collector pins - Distributes current and heat across PCB footprint, improving reliability vs. single-pin SOT-23 equivalents. |
| Thermal resistance (Rth(j-a)) | 113 K/W on FR4 with 6 cm² collector pad - Enables 750 mW continuous dissipation without heatsink in space-limited layouts. |
| Automotive-grade rating | Tamb = −65 to +150 °C - Qualified for engine bay and transmission control modules per AEC-Q101 stress test requirements. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar NPN high-voltage switching applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ON Semiconductor NSS30400DZT1G | 80 V VCEO, 3.5 A IC, but RCEsat = 110 mΩ (typ) at IC = 2 A - 62% higher conduction loss. | Lacks multi-collector layout; higher thermal resistance (170 K/W on FR4) limits power density in compact designs. | Select when legacy footprint compatibility with SOT-23-3 is required, not for new thermal-critical layouts. |
| Diodes Incorporated DXT30400DE6327 | 80 V VCEO, 3 A IC, RCEsat = 75 mΩ (typ), but hFE drops to 80 at IC = 2 A - requires 250 mA base drive. | Uses SOT-363 package with shared thermal pad; less effective heat spreading than PBSS304ND's four-collector SOT457. | Choose only if existing SOT-363 assembly lines preclude SOT457 retooling; accept higher base drive overhead. |
Compared with NSS30400DZT1G and DXT30400DE6327, PBSS304ND,115 delivers superior thermal performance and lower base drive demand due to its multi-collector architecture and higher hFE at high current-making it optimal for new designs prioritizing efficiency, size, and ease of drive.

FAQ
What is the maximum safe operating voltage for PBSS304ND,115 in continuous DC applications?
The absolute maximum VCEO is 80 V with open base, verified per IEC 60134. For reliable long-term operation, NXP recommends limiting continuous VCE to ≤64 V to maintain margin against transients and ensure 150 °C junction temperature compliance under worst-case thermal conditions.
Can PBSS304ND,115 be used in linear regulator applications?
No-it is optimized for switching operation, not linear regulation. Its low RCEsat and high hFE at high IC are designed for saturated switching, and its thermal characteristics assume pulsed or switched duty cycles. Linear use would exceed Ptot limits rapidly, risking thermal runaway.
How does the four-collector pin configuration affect PCB layout?
All four collector pins (1, 2, 5, 6) must be connected to the same high-current copper pour-ideally ≥1 cm²-to realize the specified Rth(j-a) and current-handling benefits. Splitting collectors or routing them separately degrades thermal performance and increases effective saturation resistance.
Is PBSS304ND,115 qualified for automotive under-hood use?
Yes-its −65 °C to +150 °C ambient and junction temperature range, combined with qualification to AEC-Q101 stress tests (including HTGB, HTRB, and temperature cycling), confirms suitability for engine control units, transmission modules, and HVAC systems per ISO 16750-2 electrical environment standards.
