Product details
Overview
PDTB143EUX from Nexperia is a PNP resistor-equipped transistor (RET) in SOT323 (SC-70) package, designed for digital switching applications requiring integrated biasing. It delivers −500 mA output current at −50 V VCEO, features 4.7 kΩ input bias resistor (R1) and 4.7 kΩ base-emitter resistor (R2), and supports high-temperature operation up to 175 °C in automotive control modules.
For engineers reviewing the PDTB143EUX datasheet, PDTB143EUX pinout, PDTB143EUX application, or PDTB143EUX equivalent, key selection criteria include its AEC-Q101 qualification, ±10 % R2/R1 ratio tolerance, −100 mV VCE(sat) at −50 mA/−2.5 mA, VI(on)/VI(off) voltage thresholds, and compatibility with 3.3 V/5 V logic-driven load switching.
Technical Context
This RET integrates a PNP bipolar transistor with two precision on-die resistors: R1 (4.7 kΩ) connected between input and base, and R2 (4.7 kΩ) between base and emitter. The fixed R2/R1 ratio of 1.0 enables predictable turn-on behavior without external bias network design.
It operates as a single-stage digital switch with guaranteed −500 mA sink capability, −50 V breakdown rating, and stable hFE = 60 (typ.) at −50 mA/−5 V, optimized for low-power logic interfacing in space-constrained PCB layouts.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCEO | −50 V - Maximum collector-emitter voltage before breakdown; ensures robustness in 24 V automotive supply rails. |
| IO | −500 mA - Continuous output current capability; supports driving medium-power relays or LEDs directly. |
| R1 / R2 | 4.7 kΩ / 4.7 kΩ - Integrated bias resistors eliminate need for external components; simplifies layout and reduces BOM count. |
| VCE(sat) | −100 mV @ −50 mA/−2.5 mA - Low saturation voltage minimizes power loss and heat generation during conduction. |
| hFE | 60 (min) @ −50 mA/−5 V - DC current gain sufficient for reliable logic-level drive without additional amplification stages. |
| Tj max | 175 °C - Junction temperature rating enables use in under-hood automotive environments and industrial enclosures. |
| AEC-Q101 | Qualified - Meets stress-test requirements for discrete semiconductors in automotive applications. |
Pinout & Package
SOT323 (SC-70) plastic surface-mounted package: 1.3 mm × 1.8 mm footprint, 0.95 mm height, 3-terminal leadframe with gull-wing leads.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Input (base connection via R1) | Logic signal entry point; current-limited by internal 4.7 kΩ resistor to prevent base overdrive. |
| 2 | GND (emitter) | Reference node for both input and output; connects to system ground or low-side return path. |
| 3 | Output (collector) | Sinks load current to pin 2; rated for −500 mA continuous and −50 V blocking. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Built-in bias resistors | Eliminates 2 external resistors per switch, reducing PCB area and assembly cost in multi-channel driver designs. |
| ±10 % R2/R1 tolerance | Ensures consistent VI(on)/VI(off) thresholds across production lots, critical for deterministic logic-level interfacing. |
| AEC-Q101 qualification | Validated for automotive-grade reliability including temperature cycling, HTRB, and ESD testing per JESD22 standards. |
| High-temperature operation | Rated for continuous operation at ambient temperatures up to +175 °C, supporting engine control unit (ECU) placement. |
| Low VCE(sat) | −100 mV at rated current enables <10 mW conduction loss, minimizing thermal impact in dense power sections. |

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) threshold (−1.1 V max). | Better noise immunity in noisy industrial environments; slightly slower turn-off due to higher R2. | Select when higher off-state margin is required and lower hFE sensitivity is acceptable. |
| BC807-40 | Discrete PNP BJT without built-in resistors; requires external RB and RBE; hFE = 250–630 (wider spread). | Greater design flexibility but increases component count, layout area, and calibration effort. | Choose only when precise bias tuning or higher gain variability is needed beyond RET constraints. |
Compared with PDTB143XU, PDTB143EUX offers tighter R2/R1 matching (1.0 vs. 2.13) for more predictable VI(on)/VI(off), while BC807-40 demands full external bias design but provides wider hFE range for analog gain-critical uses.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous collector current for PDTB143EUX?
The maximum continuous collector current is −500 mA, specified at Tamb ≤ 25 °C on a standard FR4 PCB with single-sided copper. Derating applies above 25 °C per the power derating curve; at 100 °C ambient, usable current drops to approximately −350 mA with adequate PCB copper area.
Does PDTB143EUX require external base resistors?
No. PDTB143EUX integrates both R1 (4.7 kΩ) and R2 (4.7 kΩ) on-die, eliminating the need for external bias resistors. This reduces PCB footprint, assembly steps, and BOM cost while ensuring consistent switching behavior across units and temperature.
Is PDTB143EUX suitable for 3.3 V logic interfacing?
Yes. With VI(on) = −1.0 to −2.2 V (typ. −1.7 V) and VI(off) = −0.6 to −1.5 V (typ. −0.9 V), PDTB143EUX reliably switches on with 3.3 V CMOS outputs and remains off with 0 V or floating inputs, meeting standard TTL/CMOS logic thresholds.
How does PDTB143EUX differ from the BC807 series?
PDTB143EUX integrates bias resistors and is AEC-Q101 qualified, whereas BC807-40 is a bare PNP transistor requiring external biasing and lacks automotive qualification. PDTB143EUX offers tighter parameter control (e.g., ±10 % R2/R1) and simplified design, while BC807 provides higher hFE range and analog flexibility.
