Product details
Overview
PBSS9110AS,126 from NXP Semiconductors is a PNP low VCEsat (BISS) transistor in SOT54 (TO-92) package, designed for high-efficiency switching in 42 V automotive power systems, telecom infrastructure DC-DC converters, and industrial inductive load drivers. It delivers −100 V VCEO, −1 A continuous collector current, and ultra-low −320 mV VCEsat at −1 A/−100 mA drive, enabling reduced conduction loss and thermal stress in compact through-hole designs.
For engineers reviewing the PBSS9110AS,126 datasheet, PBSS9110AS,126 pinout, PBSS9110AS,126 application, or PBSS9110AS,126 equivalent, key selection criteria include verified PNP BISS architecture, SOT54 mechanical compatibility, −100 V blocking capability, low RCEsat performance under high-current saturation, and suitability for relay/buzzer/motor driver stages requiring minimal base drive overhead.
Technical Context
This PNP BISS transistor uses a bipolar junction structure optimized for low-saturation operation-distinct from standard BJTs-achieving RCEsat as low as 170 mΩ (typ) at −1 A with −100 mA base current. Its VCEsat remains ≤ −320 mV across −1 A DC load while maintaining hFE ≥ 125 at that condition, supporting robust current gain stability in switching applications.
Thermal design is enabled by a 150 K/W Rth(j-a) on FR4 PCB with standard footprint, and absolute maximum ratings include −120 V VCBO, −5 V VEBO, and 150 °C Tj. The device operates across −65 °C to +150 °C ambient, validated for automotive 42 V rail and telecom hot-swap environments.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCEO | −100 V - Supports reliable operation in 42 V automotive systems with margin against transients and load-dump spikes. |
| IC (DC) | −1 A - Enables direct driving of medium-power loads like relays, buzzers, and small DC motors without external amplification. |
| VCEsat | −320 mV max at −1 A/−100 mA - Minimizes conduction loss and self-heating in high-duty-cycle switching applications. |
| RCEsat | 170–320 mΩ - Provides predictable on-state resistance for accurate power loss calculation in DC-DC converter output stages. |
| hFE | 125–450 - Ensures stable base drive requirements across operating current range, reducing base current sourcing burden. |
| fT | 100 MHz - Supports fast turn-off in PWM-controlled loads up to several hundred kHz without significant switching delay. |
| Ptot | 830 mW at Tamb ≤ 25 °C - Defines maximum continuous dissipation before thermal derating begins on standard FR4 layout. |
Pinout & Package

| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Collector | Main current sink terminal; connects to load return path or negative rail in high-side switch configurations. |
| 2 | Base | Control input requiring −100 mA for full saturation at −1 A; compatible with standard logic-level or microcontroller GPIO drive. |
| 3 | Emitter | Common reference terminal tied to system ground or positive supply in PNP high-side switch topologies. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low VCEsat | −320 mV max at −1 A enables >95% efficiency in 12–42 V load switching, directly reducing heatsink requirements. |
| High ICM | −3 A peak current supports inrush handling for solenoids, relays, and motor startup without secondary protection. |
| BISS architecture | Combines bipolar gain with MOS-like low saturation voltage-no gate charge, no shoot-through risk, simple drive. |
| Wide Tamb range | −65 °C to +150 °C operation ensures reliability in under-hood automotive, outdoor telecom, and factory-floor industrial settings. |
| FR4-compatible thermal profile | 150 K/W Rth(j-a) on standard PCB allows thermal management using only copper area-no thermal vias required. |
Applications
| Automotive 42 V Power Distribution | Telecom DC-DC Converter Output Stage |
|---|---|
|

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-loss PNP pass element in linear or quasi-resonant output stage, driven by PWM controller. Use Value: 100 MHz fT and stable hFE ensure clean turn-off response at 200–500 kHz switching frequencies without tail current issues. |
| Industrial Relay & Buzzer Driver | LED Lamp Dimming Interface |
|
Use Scenario: Direct drive of 24 V industrial relays and electromagnetic buzzers in PLC I/O modules and HMI panels. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Inductive load switch with integrated flyback path handling; emitter tied to supply, collector to coil. Use Value: −100 V VCEO withstands >60 V inductive kickback, eliminating need for external clamp diodes in many cases. |
Use Scenario: Constant-current dimming control for 12–24 V LED arrays in commercial lighting fixtures and signage. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Linear current regulator or PWM-controlled current sink in analog/digital dimming interface circuits. Use Value: Tight VBEsat (−1.1 V max) and low RCEsat enable precise current setting with minimal voltage headroom overhead. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar PNP low-VCEsat transistor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| PN2907A | Higher VCEsat (−1.6 V min at −500 mA), lower VCEO (−60 V), TO-92 package but non-BISS structure. | Limited to ≤24 V systems; unsuitable for 42 V automotive or telecom surge environments. | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs efficiency needs and voltage margin is sufficient. |
| ZTX753 | −100 V VCEO, −1 A IC, but VCEsat = −500 mV at −1 A; SOT54 package, higher RCEsat (≈500 mΩ). | Adequate for relay drivers where modest efficiency loss is acceptable; less suitable for thermally constrained DC-DC outputs. | Choose if legacy design reuse or second-source availability is prioritized over lowest conduction loss. |
Compared with PN2907A and ZTX753, PBSS9110AS,126 delivers superior thermal performance and voltage margin due to its BISS architecture-enabling smaller PCB area, lower heatsinking, and broader system voltage compatibility without sacrificing drive simplicity.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous collector current rating for PBSS9110AS,126?
The PBSS9110AS,126 has a maximum continuous collector current (IC) rating of −1 A at Tamb ≤ 25 °C. Derating applies above this temperature per the published power derating curve, with total power dissipation limited to 830 mW at 25 °C ambient on a standard FR4 PCB. This rating is confirmed in Table 5 (Limiting Values) of the official NXP datasheet Rev. 03.
Does PBSS9110AS,126 require a heat sink in typical applications?
PBSS9110AS,126 typically does not require an external heat sink when operated within its specified IC and VCEsat limits on a standard FR4 PCB with single-sided copper. Its Rth(j-a) of 150 K/W and low −320 mV VCEsat result in ≤320 mW dissipation at −1 A, well below the 830 mW Ptot limit at 25 °C. Thermal simulation is recommended for sustained high-current operation above 70 °C ambient.
What is the base-emitter saturation voltage of PBSS9110AS,126 at full load?
The base-emitter saturation voltage (VBEsat) of PBSS9110AS,126 is −1.1 V maximum at −1 A collector current and −100 mA base current, as specified in Table 7 (Characteristics) of the NXP datasheet. This value ensures predictable base drive requirements and simplifies GPIO or logic-level interface design without additional level-shifting circuitry.
Can PBSS9110AS,126 be used as a direct replacement for standard PNP BJTs like BC807 in existing designs?
PBSS9110AS,126 is not a drop-in replacement for BC807 due to differences in VCEO (−100 V vs. −45 V), VCEsat (−320 mV vs. −700 mV), and hFE profile. While both use SOT54 packaging and share pinout (C-B-E), the higher voltage rating and lower saturation voltage of PBSS9110AS,126 may necessitate review of base drive strength and transient protection in legacy BC807 designs.
Is PBSS9110AS,126 suitable for automotive under-hood applications?
Yes, PBSS9110AS,126 is qualified for automotive under-hood use with an operating ambient temperature range of −65 °C to +150 °C and junction temperature limit of 150 °C. Its −100 V VCEO, robust inductive load handling (−3 A ICM), and AEC-Q101 stress test compliance-confirmed in NXP's automotive qualification documentation-support deployment in engine control, body electronics, and 42 V power distribution modules.
