Product details
Overview
PDTA143ZEF,115 from NXP Semiconductors is a PNP resistor-equipped transistor with integrated bias resistors R1 = 4.7 kΩ and R2 = 47 kΩ, designed for general-purpose switching in compact surface-mount applications. It features VCEO = −50 V, IO = −100 mA DC output current, and operates in SOT490 (SC-89) package with 1.7 mm × 0.95 mm footprint - used in level-shifting interface circuits and low-power inverters.
For engineers reviewing the PDTA143ZEF,115 datasheet, PDTA143ZEF,115 pinout, PDTA143ZEF,115 application, or PDTA143ZEF,115 equivalent, key selection factors include its built-in resistor ratio (R2/R1 ≈ 10), guaranteed Vi(on) ≤ −0.9 V at IC = −5 mA, thermal resistance Rth j-a = 500 K/W, and compatibility with reflow-only soldering per JEDEC J-STD-020.
Technical Context
This device integrates two precision thin-film resistors (R1 between base and input, R2 between base and emitter) to form a single-transistor digital switch with defined turn-on/off thresholds. Its PNP topology enables active-low control logic interfacing directly with 3.3 V or 5 V microcontroller GPIOs without external bias components.
The SOT490 package supports high-density PCB layouts and delivers 250 mW total power dissipation at Tamb ≤ 25 °C. Electrical behavior is characterized at Tamb = 25 °C with validated hFE ≥ 100 at VCE = −5 V and IC = −10 mA, and VCEsat ≤ −100 mV under IC = −5 mA / IB = −0.25 mA conditions.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar PNP resistor-equipped transistor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| PDTC143ZEF,115 | NPN complement with identical R1/R2 values and SOT490 package | Requires inverted logic drive and sinks current instead of sourcing | Select when circuit requires low-side switching or compatibility with existing NPN-based schematics |
| PDTA143ZK,115 | SOT346 (SC-59) package; same electrical specs but larger 2.7 mm × 1.7 mm footprint and 500 K/W Rth j-a | Better thermal performance margin but occupies ~3× more board area than SOT490 | Choose when manual rework or legacy footprint compatibility is prioritized over miniaturization |
Compared with PDTC143ZEF,115 and PDTA143ZK,115, the PDTA143ZEF,115 uniquely combines ultra-compact SOT490 packaging with verified −100 mA sourcing and −50 V blocking - making it optimal for space-constrained, high-density PNP switching where reflow-only assembly is acceptable.

FAQ
What is the pin configuration of PDTA143ZEF,115?
The PDTA143ZEF,115 uses a 3-pin SOT490 (SC-89) package with pin 1 as Base, pin 2 as Emitter, and pin 3 as Collector. This arrangement is confirmed in the "Simplified outline, symbol and pinning" section of the official NXP datasheet dated 2004 Aug 05, and matches the top-view marking orientation for SC-89 devices.
Does PDTA143ZEF,115 support through-hole mounting?
No, PDTA143ZEF,115 is exclusively a surface-mount device in SOT490 (SC-89) package and does not support through-hole mounting. The datasheet explicitly states "reflow soldering is the only recommended soldering method" and provides no lead-forming or axial/TO-92 variants for this specific type number.
What is the maximum operating temperature for PDTA143ZEF,115?
The PDTA143ZEF,115 has a maximum junction temperature (Tj) of +150 °C and an operating ambient temperature range of −65 °C to +150 °C. These limiting values are specified in the "Limiting Values" table of the NXP datasheet and apply under standard mounting conditions with reflow soldering.
Can PDTA143ZEF,115 replace a standard PNP BJT like BC807?
The PDTA143ZEF,115 is not a direct replacement for discrete BJTs such as BC807 because it integrates bias resistors R1 and R2, altering input impedance and switching thresholds. While both are PNP transistors, the PDTA143ZEF,115 requires no external base resistors and exhibits different Vi(on)/Vi(off) behavior - redesign is needed for substitution.
What is the tolerance on the internal resistors R1 and R2 in PDTA143ZEF,115?
The R1 and R2 values in PDTA143ZEF,115 are specified as 4.7 kΩ and 47 kΩ respectively, with tolerances derived from the "MIN/TYP/MAX" column in the "Characteristics" table: R1 = 3.3 kΩ (min) to 6.1 kΩ (max), indicating ±26% tolerance. R2 is not individually tolerance-banded but shares the same process-controlled ratio stability.
