Product details
Overview
PBSS5360PAS from Nexperia is a PNP low VCE(sat) transistor in a DFN2020D-3 (SOT1061D) leadless package, designed for high-efficiency switching in power management circuits. It delivers −60 V VCEO, −3 A continuous IC, and ultra-low 87 mΩ RCE(sat) at −3 A/−300 mA drive, enabling compact loadswitch and battery-charging applications up to 175 °C junction temperature.
For engineers reviewing the PBSS5360PAS datasheet, PBSS5360PAS pinout, PBSS5360PAS application, or PBSS5360PAS equivalent, key selection criteria include verified VCE(sat) ≤ 260 mV at −2 A, thermal resistance as low as 60 K/W on 4-layer FR4, side-wettable flanks for AOI-compatible solder joint inspection, and direct NPN complement PBSS4360PAS for push-pull designs.
Technical Context
This PNP bipolar junction transistor uses optimized epitaxial base and emitter structures to achieve high hFE (80–125 at −3 A) while maintaining low saturation voltage. Its DFN2020D-3 package integrates an exposed collector pad for direct thermal conduction to PCB copper, supporting stable operation under pulsed loads up to −6 A ICM.
The device operates with VBE(sat) of −0.9 V at −2 A/−100 mA and exhibits fT = 65–120 MHz, confirming suitability for medium-speed switching (ton = 107 ns, toff = 210 ns). Cut-off leakage remains below −100 nA at 25 °C, ensuring low standby power in battery-critical systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCEO | −60 V - Maximum safe blocking voltage across collector-emitter with base open; defines system rail compatibility up to 48 V DC bus. |
| IC | −3 A - Continuous DC collector current rating; supports sustained loadswitching in portable power supplies and motor drivers. |
| RCE(sat) | 87 mΩ (typ) - Low saturation resistance directly reduces conduction loss (Ploss = I² × R), critical for thermal management in space-constrained PCBs. |
| VCE(sat) | −260 mV (max) at −2 A/−100 mA - Confirmed low-voltage saturation enables <100 mW dissipation per switch, minimizing heatsink requirements. |
| fT | 65–120 MHz - Transition frequency validates usable bandwidth for PWM frequencies up to ~5 MHz with adequate gain margin. |
| toff | 210 ns - Verified turn-off time ensures clean commutation in synchronous buck or H-bridge topologies operating above 100 kHz. |
| Tj(max) | 175 °C - Maximum junction temperature rating allows deployment in under-hood automotive modules or industrial enclosures without forced cooling. |
Pinout & Package
DFN2020D-3 (SOT1061D) is a 2 mm × 2 mm × 0.65 mm ultra-thin leadless package with side-wettable flanks for automated optical inspection and enhanced thermal transfer via exposed collector pad.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Base (B) | Control input node requiring −300 mA peak drive for full saturation; low-impedance path to enable fast switching. |
| 2 | Emitter (E) | Common reference terminal tied to higher potential rail in high-side switch configurations; connects to PCB ground plane for thermal stability. |
| 3 | Collector (C) | Power output node with exposed metal pad; must be routed to ≥1 cm² copper pour for rated 2.5 W dissipation at Tamb = 25 °C. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low VCE(sat) | −260 mV max at −2 A ensures <0.5 W conduction loss, reducing thermal stress in sealed battery packs. |
| Side-wettable flanks | Visible solder joints on package edges enable 100% AOI coverage-eliminating manual visual inspection in high-volume production. |
| Exposed collector pad | Direct thermal path to PCB lowers Rth(j-a) to 60 K/W (4-layer FR4 + 1 cm² pad), permitting >1.5× higher power density vs. SO-8 equivalents. |
| High hFE at high IC | 80–125 at −3 A enables simplified driver design with lower base current demand, reducing gate driver IC count in multi-channel systems. |
| 175 °C Tj rating | Validated operation at extreme ambient temperatures supports use in engine control units and industrial motor drives without derating. |
Applications
| Battery-Powered Load Switch | USB-C Power Delivery Charging |
|---|---|

|
Use Scenario: PWM-driven 12 V/2 A cooling fan in programmable logic controllers and edge AI gateways. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Medium-speed switching element in discrete H-bridge or single-ended drive stage, operating at 25 kHz. Use Value: 120 MHz fT and 107 ns ton ensure minimal dead-time distortion; 175 °C Tj rating sustains reliability in unventilated control cabinets. |
Use Scenario: Non-safety-critical interior lighting or window lift control in prototype automotive ECUs where AEC-Q101 qualification is not mandated. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: General-purpose power switch replacing larger SOT-23 or TO-252 devices in cost-sensitive body electronics. Use Value: 2 mm × 2 mm footprint saves >65% board area vs. SOT-23; side-wettable flanks support zero-defect reflow in Tier-2 assembly lines. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar PNP low VCE(sat) transistor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ON Semiconductor NSS40201MR6T1G | −40 V VCEO, −2 A IC, 150 mΩ RCE(sat); SOT-723 package (1.25 mm × 1.25 mm). | Lower voltage/current rating; smaller footprint but no side-wettable flanks or AOI support. | Select when board space is <1.5 mm² and 48 V system isolation is not required. |
| Diodes Incorporated DXT53600QE-7 | −60 V VCEO, −3 A IC, 110 mΩ RCE(sat); same DFN2020D-3 package, but 150 °C Tj max. | Higher RCE(sat) increases conduction loss by ~27%; lower thermal limit restricts high-temp deployment. | Choose only if Nexperia supply chain constraints exist and thermal headroom >25 °C is available. |
Compared with NSS40201MR6T1G, PBSS5360PAS offers 50% higher voltage rating and 42% lower RCE(sat), enabling robust 48 V battery systems; versus DXT53600QE-7, its 25 °C higher Tj and 23 mΩ lower RCE(sat) deliver measurable efficiency and lifetime gains in thermally constrained environments.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable base current for continuous operation?
The absolute maximum base current (IB) is −500 mA per datasheet Table 5. For reliable long-term operation, design base drive to stay within −300 mA (typical for full saturation at −3 A IC), with pulse duty cycle ≤2% when exceeding −300 mA to avoid thermal runaway.
Can PBSS5360PAS be used in a high-side switch configuration with 24 V supply?
Yes - its −60 V VCEO provides 36 V margin above 24 V rails, and the DFN2020D-3 package's exposed collector pad enables effective heat spreading. Ensure base drive circuitry pulls the base ≥0.7 V below emitter to guarantee saturation, and verify PCB copper area meets ≥1 cm² for collector pad per thermal curve Fig. 1.
Does this part support Automatic Optical Inspection (AOI) after reflow?
Yes - the DFN2020D-3 package features side-wettable flanks (SWF), meaning solder fillets are visible along the lateral edges of pins 1 and 3. This enables full AOI coverage per IPC-A-610 Class 2/3 standards without X-ray verification.
Is there an automotive-qualified version of PBSS5360PAS?
No - PBSS5360PAS is explicitly non-automotive qualified per Revision History Table 8. Nexperia offers automotive-grade alternatives such as PBSS5360PAS-Q (AEC-Q101 qualified), which undergoes extended temperature cycling, HTOL, and bias-HAST testing per automotive requirements.
