Product details
Overview
PBSS4112PAN,115 from Nexperia is a dual NPN low VCEsat (BISS) transistor in DFN2020-6 (SOT1118) package, designed for high-efficiency load switching in space-constrained automotive and portable power systems. It delivers 120 V VCEO, 1 A continuous IC, 240 mΩ RCEsat at 500 mA/50 mA drive, and AEC-Q101 qualification - enabling compact, thermally efficient motor and battery-charging switches.
For engineers reviewing the PBSS4112PAN,115 datasheet, PBSS4112PAN,115 pinout, PBSS4112PAN,115 application, or PBSS4112PAN,115 equivalent, key selection criteria include verified dual-NPN BISS topology, thermal resistance as low as 86 K/W (4-layer PCB), 205–260 mV VCEsat at 1 A/100 mA drive, and precise 6-pin DFN2020-6 terminal mapping for layout-critical SMT designs.
Technical Context
This device integrates two matched NPN transistors in a single ultra-thin DFN2020-6 package with shared thermal path and symmetrical pinout. Its Breakthrough In Small Signal (BISS) architecture achieves low saturation voltage via optimized epitaxial layer design and emitter ballasting, supporting high-current switching without external heat sinks.
Each transistor operates independently with VCEO = 120 V, IC = 1 A, and guaranteed hFE ≥ 30 at 1 A - enabling direct replacement of discrete transistor pairs while reducing PCB area by >40% and improving thermal coupling between devices.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCEO | 120 V - Maximum collector-emitter blocking voltage per transistor; supports 24 V/48 V automotive and industrial bus systems with margin. |
| IC | 1 A continuous - Rated DC collector current per transistor; enables direct driving of small motors, solenoids, and LED arrays. |
| VCEsat @ 1 A/100 mA | 170–220 mV - Confirmed saturation voltage under full-load switching; reduces conduction loss to <220 mW at 1 A. |
| RCEsat | 240 mΩ - Collector-emitter on-resistance at 500 mA/50 mA; simplifies thermal modeling for FR4 or 4-layer PCB layouts. |
| hFE @ 1 A | 30–45 - Minimum DC current gain at full rated current; ensures reliable saturation with standard 100 mA base drive. |
| AEC-Q101 qualified | Qualified for automotive applications - Validated for temperature cycling, HTRB, and ESD per AEC-Q101 Rev G. |
| Tj max | 150 °C - Maximum junction temperature; allows operation in under-hood environments up to 125 °C ambient with derating. |
Pinout & Package
DFN2020-6 (SOT1118) package: 2.0 mm × 2.0 mm × 0.65 mm body, leadless, thermally enhanced, with exposed die pad for solder attachment. Optimized for reflow assembly and high-power density routing.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | E1 | Emitter of transistor TR1 - Connected to low-side return path; electrically tied to thermal pad in layout. |
| 2 | B1 | Base of transistor TR1 - Requires 100 mA drive for full saturation; routed with controlled impedance to minimize switching noise. |
| 3 | C2 | Collector of transistor TR2 - High-side output node; shares thermal mass with C1 for balanced power dissipation. |
| 4 | E2 | Emitter of transistor TR2 - Independent return path; enables dual-switch topologies like half-bridge or dual load control. |
| 5 | B2 | Base of transistor TR2 - Electrically isolated from B1; supports independent control of each transistor. |
| 6 | C1 | Collector of transistor TR1 - Primary high-side output; bonded directly to thermal pad for lowest Rth(j-sp) = 30 K/W. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual NPN BISS topology | Two matched, independent NPN transistors in one DFN2020-6 footprint - eliminates pairing mismatch and saves >40% board area vs. discrete SO8 solutions. |
| Ultra-low VCEsat | 205–260 mV at 1 A/100 mA drive - cuts conduction loss by >50% versus standard bipolar transistors, reducing heatsink requirements. |
| Thermal performance | Rth(j-a) = 86 K/W (4-layer PCB, 70 µm Cu, 1 cm² collector pad) - enables 2 W continuous dissipation without forced air. |
| AEC-Q101 qualification | Validated for automotive under-hood use - includes HTGB, H3TRB, and ESD ≥ 2 kV HBM per transistor. |
| High hFE at high IC | hFE ≥ 30 at 1 A - ensures robust saturation with minimal base drive current, lowering MCU GPIO loading. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-NPN switching applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| PBSS4112PANP | NPN/PNP complementary pair in same DFN2020-6 package; VCEO = 120 V, IC = 1 A, but PNP side has higher VCEsat (300–400 mV). | Suitable for push-pull or level-shifting circuits requiring complementary drive, not dual high-side switching. | Select when bidirectional current control or rail-to-rail signal inversion is required instead of dual NPN load switching. |
| DMN3029LFG-7 | Single N-channel MOSFET (30 V, 4.5 A, 29 mΩ); no dual topology, different package (SOT-23), and no AEC-Q101 rating. | Used in low-voltage DC-DC load switches where gate drive simplicity outweighs voltage rating and automotive compliance. | Choose only for ≤12 V non-automotive applications needing lower RDS(on); not drop-in due to topology, voltage, and qualification mismatch. |
Compared with PBSS4112PAN,115, PBSS4112PANP offers complementary polarity at identical voltage/current ratings but sacrifices low-saturation symmetry, while DMN3029LFG-7 provides superior on-resistance at 30 V but lacks dual functionality, automotive qualification, and 120 V capability - making PBSS4112PAN,115 uniquely suited for AEC-Q101-compliant dual-NPN 120 V switching.

FAQ
What is the thermal pad connection requirement for PBSS4112PAN,115?
The exposed thermal pad (pin 6/C1 and internal die attach) must be soldered to a minimum 1 cm² copper area on a 4-layer PCB with 70 µm traces to achieve the rated 86 K/W Rth(j-a). Omitting this pad or using insufficient copper increases junction temperature by >40 °C at 1 A, risking thermal shutdown or accelerated degradation.
Can PBSS4112PAN,115 replace two separate SOT23 transistors in a design?
Yes - its dual NPN configuration matches the functional behavior of two discrete SOT23-3 transistors, but requires PCB layout revision to accommodate the 2.0 mm × 2.0 mm DFN2020-6 footprint and 6-pin routing. Pin compatibility is not maintained; base-emitter-collector assignments differ from standard SOT23 orientation.
Is the 120 V VCEO rating valid for both transistors simultaneously?
Yes - each transistor (TR1 and TR2) is independently rated for 120 V VCEO with open base, as confirmed in Table 5 (Limiting Values). This allows independent use of either transistor in 100 V-class applications such as 48 V telecom or industrial bus switching without derating.
Does PBSS4112PAN,115 support PWM switching above 10 kHz?
Yes - with ton = 460 ns and toff = 1005 ns, it supports clean PWM operation up to 100 kHz in low-duty-cycle applications. For sustained 50% duty cycle above 20 kHz, ensure base drive strength ≥100 mA and minimize trace inductance to prevent ringing-induced VCE overshoot beyond 120 V.
