Product details
Overview
PDTB143EUF from Nexperia is a PNP resistor-equipped transistor (RET) in SOT323 (SC-70) package, rated for −50 V VCEO, −500 mA output current, and 4.7 kΩ input bias resistor (R1). It integrates matched R1/R2 bias network with ±10 % ratio tolerance and supports high-temperature operation up to 175 °C. Used as a compact, AEC-Q101-qualified digital switch in automotive body control modules.
For engineers reviewing the PDTB143EUF datasheet, PDTB143EUF pinout, PDTB143EUF application, or PDTB143EUF equivalent, key selection criteria include verified −500 mA switching capability, built-in 4.7 kΩ/4.7 kΩ bias resistors, −100 mV VCE(sat) at −50 mA, AEC-Q101 qualification, and SC-70 thermal performance up to 175 °C junction temperature.
Technical Context
This PNP RET implements a monolithic silicon transistor with two integrated precision thin-film resistors: R1 (4.7 kΩ) connected between base and input terminal, and R2 (4.7 kΩ) between base and emitter. The R1/R2 ratio of 1.0 ±0.1 enables predictable turn-on/off thresholds and eliminates external bias components.
Designed for direct interface with IC logic outputs, it delivers −500 mA collector current with −100 mV saturation voltage at −50 mA/−2.5 mA drive, and maintains stable hFE = 60 (min) across −40 °C to +125 °C ambient, supporting robust digital switching in space-constrained automotive and industrial PCBs.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCEO | −50 V - Maximum safe collector-emitter blocking voltage in open-base configuration |
| IO | −500 mA - Continuous DC output current capability without derating at Tamb ≤ 25 °C |
| R1 | 4.7 kΩ - Input bias resistor value enabling direct TTL/CMOS logic-level drive |
| R2/R1 | 1.0 ±0.1 - Precision-matched internal resistor ratio ensuring consistent switching thresholds |
| VCE(sat) | −100 mV @ IC = −50 mA, IB = −2.5 mA - Low saturation voltage minimizes power loss in high-duty-cycle switching |
| hFE | 60 (min) @ VCE = −5 V, IC = −50 mA - Guaranteed DC current gain ensures reliable drive margin for load switching |
| Tj(max) | 175 °C - Maximum junction temperature enabling operation in under-hood automotive environments |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| PDTB143XU | R2 = 10 kΩ (vs. 4.7 kΩ), R2/R1 = 2.13 (vs. 1.0); higher VI(off) (−1.1 V min) | Better noise immunity in high-EMI industrial environments; slower turn-off due to higher R2 | Select when improved off-state margin is required over speed or when interfacing with open-drain drivers |
| BC807-40W | Discrete PNP BJT (no built-in resistors); requires external R1/R2; hFE = 250–630 (wider spread) | Higher gain but demands additional passives and layout area; no AEC-Q101 qualification | Choose only if precise hFE control is unnecessary and board space is not constrained |
Compared with PDTB143XU, PDTB143EUF offers faster switching and tighter threshold control due to matched 1:1 R1/R2; versus BC807-40W, it reduces design time and BOM count while adding automotive-grade reliability-critical for production-critical embedded systems.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous collector current for PDTB143EUF?
The PDTB143EUF is rated for −500 mA continuous collector current at Tamb ≤ 25 °C on a standard FR4 PCB with single-sided copper. Derating applies above 25 °C ambient per the 500 K/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance specification.
Does PDTB143EUF require external base resistors?
No. PDTB143EUF integrates both R1 (4.7 kΩ) and R2 (4.7 kΩ) bias resistors internally. This eliminates the need for external base resistors, simplifying schematic design and reducing PCB footprint by approximately 2 mm² per device.
Is PDTB143EUF qualified for automotive applications?
Yes. PDTB143EUF is fully qualified to AEC-Q101 Rev D for discrete semiconductors, including stress testing for temperature cycling, humidity, and high-temperature operating life. It is approved for use in automotive body control, lighting, and comfort systems.
What is the typical VCE(sat) at rated current?
At IC = −50 mA and IB = −2.5 mA, the typical VCE(sat) is −100 mV, with a maximum of −100 mV guaranteed across temperature and process variation. This low saturation voltage minimizes conduction losses in high-duty-cycle switching applications.
