Product details
Overview
PBSS8110Z,135 from Nexperia is an AEC-Q101-qualified NPN low VCEsat transistor in SOT223 (SC-73) package, rated for 100 V VCEO, 1 A continuous collector current, and 160–200 mΩ RCEsat. It serves as a high-voltage switching element in automotive power stages, MOSFET gate drivers, and DC-DC converters where low conduction loss and thermal efficiency are critical.
For engineers reviewing the PBSS8110Z,135 datasheet, PBSS8110Z,135 pinout, PBSS8110Z,135 application, or PBSS8110Z,135 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 100 V blocking capability, 1 A IC rating at Tamb = 25 °C, 200 mV VCEsat at IC = 1 A / IB = 100 mA, AEC-Q101 qualification, and SOT223 thermal performance with 1.4 W Ptot on 6 cm² copper pad.
Technical Context
This NPN transistor employs a low-saturation-voltage silicon epitaxial planar structure optimized for high-voltage switching with minimal power dissipation. Its design targets stable hFE ≥ 80 at IC = 1 A and fast switching (ton = 245 ns, toff = 550 ns) under 10 V VCC and 0.025 A drive conditions.
The device features dual-collector terminals (Pins 2 and 4) in the SOT223 package to enhance thermal conduction and current handling. Its RCEsat remains stable across -55 °C to 100 °C, with typical values of 160 mΩ at 25 °C and 200 mΩ at 100 °C under pulsed conditions (tp ≤ 300 µs, δ ≤ 0.02).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCEO | 100 V - Maximum safe collector-emitter voltage with base open; enables use in 48 V+ automotive and industrial DC-DC topologies. |
| IC | 1 A continuous - Rated DC collector current at Tamb = 25 °C; supports sustained switching in motor control and power switch applications. |
| RCEsat | 160–200 mΩ - Low saturation resistance reduces I²R losses and heat generation, improving system efficiency and easing thermal design. |
| VCEsat | 200 mV @ IC = 1 A, IB = 100 mA - Confirmed low saturation voltage ensures minimal voltage drop during conduction, critical for high-side gate driving. |
| hFE | 80 min @ IC = 1 A - High DC current gain at full load enables efficient base drive with reduced driver current requirements. |
| fT | 100 MHz - Transition frequency supports reliable operation in medium-speed switching circuits up to ~10 MHz practical switching frequencies. |
| AEC-Q101 | Qualified - Validated for automotive temperature range (-40 °C to +150 °C) and reliability stress tests, suitable for under-hood applications. |
Pinout & Package
The PBSS8110Z,135 is housed in a SOT223 (SC-73) surface-mount plastic package with four leads, 2.3 mm pitch, and integrated heatsink pad (Pin 2 and Pin 4 both connected to collector). Dimensions: 6.5 mm × 3.5 mm × 1.65 mm body; thermal resistance Rth(j-sp) = 17 K/W to solder point.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Base | Control input; requires ~100 mA base current to saturate 1 A collector current, enabling direct microcontroller or logic-level drive with appropriate buffering. |
| 2 | Collector | Main high-current output terminal; electrically tied to Pin 4; designed for PCB copper pour attachment to dissipate up to 1.4 W. |
| 3 | Emiter | Reference/return path for collector current; common emitter configuration enables standard NPN switching topology with grounded load or high-side driver bootstrap support. |
| 4 | Collector | Second collector terminal; parallel connection with Pin 2 improves thermal conduction and current sharing, reducing localized heating in high-power pulses. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low VCEsat | 200 mV at full 1 A load - Reduces conduction loss by >50% vs. standard bipolar transistors, directly lowering junction temperature rise. |
| Dual-collector thermal path | Pins 2 & 4 both connect to collector - Doubles effective thermal interface area to PCB, enabling 1.4 W power dissipation with 6 cm² copper pad. |
| High hFE at high IC | ≥80 at IC = 1 A - Maintains strong current amplification under full load, minimizing required base drive power and simplifying driver stage design. |
| AEC-Q101 qualification | Validated for automotive ambient range (-40 °C to +150 °C) - Ensures reliability in engine control units, body electronics, and ADAS power subsystems. |
| Fast switching | ton = 245 ns, toff = 550 ns - Enables efficient operation in PWM-based DC-DC converters and motor controllers operating up to several hundred kHz. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar NPN low VCEsat transistor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ON Semiconductor NSS12201LT1G | VCEO = 100 V, IC = 1.2 A, VCEsat = 220 mV @ 1 A, SOT23-3 package (no dual collector) | Limited thermal capacity (0.5 W Ptot) and single-collector layout reduce suitability for sustained 1 A loads. | Select only for space-constrained, low-duty-cycle applications where PCB copper area is unavailable. |

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous collector current for PBSS8110Z,135 at 100 °C ambient?
At Tamb = 100 °C, the PBSS8110Z,135 must be derated per its thermal curves: with a 6 cm² copper pad, Ptot drops to ~0.6 W. Using RCEsat = 200 mΩ, the corresponding IC limit is approximately 1.73 A (since P = I²R), but absolute maximum IC remains 1 A per limiting values - thus continuous operation is capped at 1 A regardless of ambient, with pulse current up to 3 A allowed for tp ≤ 1 ms.
Can PBSS8110Z,135 replace a standard general-purpose NPN transistor like BC817 in high-current applications?
No - while electrically pin-compatible in SOT223 footprint, PBSS8110Z,135 is optimized for low-saturation operation at high current (1 A), whereas BC817 is rated for only 500 mA and has VCEsat > 500 mV at that level. Substituting without redesign risks thermal runaway, excessive power loss, and premature failure due to mismatched RCEsat and thermal capability.
Is the marking code 'PB8110' sufficient to identify PBSS8110Z,135 on the physical device?
Yes - per Table 4 of the datasheet, PBSS8110Z is marked as 'PB8110' on the top surface of the SOT223 package. This 4-character laser marking is unique to this part number within Nexperia's low VCEsat portfolio and matches ordering code PBSS8110Z,135 used for tape-and-reel delivery.
Does PBSS8110Z,135 support parallel operation for higher current handling?
Not recommended without external balancing - although it has dual collector pins, the device lacks built-in emitter ballasting or matched hFE binning for paralleling. Uneven current sharing between units can occur due to parameter spread (e.g., ±20% hFE, ±25% VCEsat). For >1 A continuous, use a single PBSS8110Z,135 with adequate PCB copper, not multiple devices.
