Product details
Overview
PDTB113EK from NXP Semiconductors is a PNP resistor-equipped transistor (RET) designed for digital switching in automotive and industrial control circuits, featuring built-in bias resistors R1 = 1 kΩ and R2 = 1 kΩ, −50 V collector-emitter voltage rating, −500 mA DC output current capability, and ±10 % resistor ratio tolerance.
For engineers reviewing the PDTB113EK datasheet, PDTB113EK pinout, PDTB113EK application, or PDTB113EK equivalent, this device serves as a cost-optimized, surface-mount alternative to discrete BJT + resistor combinations in load switching, IC input control, and low-power logic interfacing where simplified layout and reduced component count are critical.
Technical Context
The PDTB113EK integrates two precision thin-film bias resistors (R1 = 1 kΩ, R2 = 1 kΩ) directly into a monolithic PNP silicon die, eliminating external base-resistor placement and enabling single-pin drive operation. Its internal resistor ratio of 0.9–1.1 ensures consistent turn-on behavior across temperature and process variation.
Designed for direct interface with TTL/CMOS logic outputs, it delivers guaranteed −500 mA sink current at VCE = −0.3 V with IB = −2.5 mA, while maintaining off-state leakage below −0.5 μA at VCE = −50 V and VI(off) ≤ −1.5 V - supporting robust noise immunity in noisy environments.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCEO | −50 V: Maximum safe collector-emitter voltage under open-base conditions; enables use in 24 V industrial bus and 12 V automotive systems with margin. |
| IO (DC) | −500 mA: Continuous DC sink current capability; supports driving relays, LEDs, and small solenoids without external heat sinking. |
| R1 | 1.0 kΩ ±30 % (0.7–1.3 kΩ): Input bias resistor value; sets base current for predictable saturation with standard logic high levels. |
| R2/R1 | 1.0 ±10 % (0.9–1.1): Precision resistor ratio ensuring stable current gain and consistent switching thresholds across units. |
| VI(on) | −1.4 V typical at IC = −20 mA: Minimum input voltage required to fully saturate; compatible with 3.3 V and 5 V CMOS/TTL outputs. |
| hFE | 33 minimum at VCE = −5 V, IC = −50 mA: DC current gain sufficient for reliable digital on/off operation without external gain staging. |
| VCEsat | −0.3 V max at IC = −50 mA, IB = −2.5 mA: Low saturation voltage minimizes power loss and self-heating during conduction. |
Pinout & Package
SOT346 (SC-59A / TO-236) plastic surface-mounted package with 3 leads; compact 3.0 × 1.7 mm footprint, 0.95 mm height, and standard gull-wing lead form for reflow compatibility.
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | input (base) | Connected internally to R1; accepts logic-level drive signal; no external base resistor needed. |
| 2 | GND (emitter) | Common reference node; tied to system ground; provides return path for load current. |
| 3 | output (collector) | Sinks load current to emitter; connects to switched load (e.g., relay coil, LED anode); rated for −500 mA continuous. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| PDTB113ET | SOT23 package (smaller footprint, same electrical specs); 250 mW power dissipation vs. 250 mW for PDTB113EK; identical R1/R2 values and VCEO/IO ratings. | Better suited for ultra-compact layouts where board space is constrained; lower thermal resistance not applicable due to smaller pad area. | Select PDTB113ET when minimizing PCB area is prioritized over thermal margin; both share same marking code family and drive characteristics. |
| BC807-40,115 | Standard PNP BJT (no built-in resistors); requires external base resistor network; hFE = 250–630 (higher gain but less predictable drive); same SOT346 package. | Used where variable gain or adjustable switching threshold is needed; lacks integrated resistor ratio stability and VI(on)/VI(off) guarantees. | Choose BC807-40,115 only when fine-tuned base current control is required; PDTB113EK offers faster design cycle and lower assembly cost for fixed-ratio digital switching. |
Compared with PDTB113ET, the PDTB113EK offers identical electrical performance in a thermally optimized SOT346 package with 250 mW rating and standardized gull-wing leads; versus BC807-40,115, it eliminates two passives per channel and guarantees resistor-matched turn-on behavior without layout-dependent parasitics.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous collector current rating for the PDTB113EK?
The PDTB113EK is rated for −500 mA DC output current under standard mounting conditions on FR4 PCB with single-sided copper. This rating applies at Tamb ≤ 25 °C; derating is required above ambient temperatures per the thermal resistance of 500 K/W specified for the SOT346 package. The PDTB113EK maintains this current capability while staying within its −50 V VCEO limit and −0.3 V VCEsat specification.
Does the PDTB113EK require external base resistors for operation?
No, the PDTB113EK does not require external base resistors. It integrates R1 = 1 kΩ and R2 = 1 kΩ thin-film resistors internally, enabling direct connection of a logic-level input signal to Pin 1 (base input). This eliminates two external components per channel and ensures consistent VI(on) and VI(off) behavior without layout-dependent variations. The PDTB113EK is designed specifically for resistor-free digital switching.
What is the package type and lead finish for PDTB113EK?
The PDTB113EK is supplied in the SOT346 (SC-59A / TO-236) plastic surface-mounted package with gull-wing leads. Its lead finish is tin-plated, compliant with standard reflow soldering profiles including Pb-free processes. The package measures 3.0 mm × 1.7 mm with a maximum height of 0.95 mm, and is marked with code "E4" per NXP's ordering information table.
How does the PDTB113EK compare to the BC807 series in digital applications?
The PDTB113EK serves as a cost-saving, drop-in alternative to the BC807 series in digital switching applications by integrating bias resistors and guaranteeing R2/R1 = 1.0 ±10 %. Unlike the BC807-40,115 - which requires two external resistors and exhibits wide hFE variation (250–630) - the PDTB113EK delivers consistent VI(on), VI(off), and saturation behavior without manual tuning. The PDTB113EK reduces pick-and-place steps and improves first-pass yield in automated assembly.
What is the guaranteed off-state leakage current for PDTB113EK?
The PDTB113EK guarantees ICEO (collector-emitter cut-off current) ≤ −0.5 μA at VCE = −50 V and IB = 0 A, and IEBO (emitter-base cut-off current) ≤ −4.0 mA at VEB = −5 V and IC = 0 A. These values ensure reliable blocking in high-impedance digital control paths, especially in automotive and industrial environments where electromagnetic interference could otherwise cause unintended conduction. The PDTB113EK's low leakage supports robust system-level noise immunity.
