Product details
Overview
PDTB143XTR from Nexperia is a PNP resistor-equipped transistor (RET) in SOT23 (TO-236AB) package, designed for digital switching applications with built-in bias resistors R1 = 4.7 kΩ and R2 = 10 kΩ, −50 V VCEO, −500 mA IO, and AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive use.
For engineers reviewing the PDTB143XTR datasheet, PDTB143XTR pinout, PDTB143XTR application, or PDTB143XTR equivalent, key selection factors include its integrated 4.7 kΩ/10 kΩ resistor ratio (R2/R1 ≈ 2.13), −1.4 V typical VI(on) at −20 mA, −100 mV VCE(sat) at −50 mA/−2.5 mA, and operation up to +175 °C ambient.
Technical Context
This PNP RET integrates two precision bias resistors (R1 = 4.7 kΩ input resistor, R2 = 10 kΩ base-emitter resistor) to eliminate external components for digital logic interfacing. Its R2/R1 ratio of 2.13 enables stable current gain control and reduces sensitivity to transistor hFE variation.
The device operates as a single-stage saturated switch with guaranteed −500 mA output capability and low −100 mV saturation voltage under −50 mA collector current and −2.5 mA base drive, supporting high-efficiency load control in space-constrained PCB layouts.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCEO | −50 V - Maximum safe collector-emitter voltage before breakdown; supports 24 V and 48 V industrial bus switching. |
| IO | −500 mA - Continuous DC output current rating; suitable for driving relays, LEDs, and small solenoids. |
| R1 / R2 | 4.7 kΩ / 10 kΩ - Fixed internal bias network eliminates need for external resistors; simplifies layout and improves BOM consistency. |
| VCE(sat) | −100 mV @ IC = −50 mA, IB = −2.5 mA - Low conduction loss enables high efficiency in battery-powered and thermally constrained systems. |
| Tj(max) | +175 °C - Junction temperature limit enabling deployment in under-hood automotive and high-temperature industrial environments. |
| AEC-Q101 | Qualified - Meets stress test requirements for discrete semiconductors in automotive applications; supports ASIL-B system integration. |
| hFE | 70 @ VCE = −5 V, IC = −50 mA - Guaranteed DC current gain ensures reliable turn-on margin across process and temperature variations. |
Pinout & Package
SOT23 (TO-236AB) plastic surface-mounted package: 3-pin, 1.3 mm × 2.9 mm footprint, 1.1 mm height, optimized for reflow and wave soldering per IPC-7351 standards.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Input (base) | Connected internally to R1; accepts logic-level drive (e.g., 3.3 V or 5 V MCU GPIO) without external current-limiting resistor. |
| 2 | GND (emitter) | Common reference node; ties emitter to ground plane; serves as return path for both input and output currents. |
| 3 | Output (collector) | Switched high-side load connection point; sinks up to −500 mA when pin 1 is driven low relative to pin 2. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| PDTB143ET | R2 = 4.7 kΩ (R2/R1 = 1.0); lower VI(off) (−0.9 V typ); higher hFE variation tolerance | Better suited for general-purpose logic interfacing where precise threshold control is less critical | Select when matching legacy BC807-40 behavior or requiring tighter VI(off) spec |
| PDTC143XT | NPN complement; same R1/R2 values; requires inverted logic drive and high-side supply configuration | Used where load must be connected to VCC rather than ground (e.g., high-side LED drivers) | Select only when circuit topology mandates NPN sourcing instead of PNP sinking |
Compared with PDTB143ET, PDTB143XTR offers higher R2/R1 ratio (2.13 vs. 1.0) for improved noise immunity and more predictable turn-off; versus PDTC143XT, it provides native low-side switching without level-shifting, reducing component count in MCU-peripheral interfaces.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous collector current for PDTB143XTR?
The PDTB143XTR is rated for −500 mA continuous DC output current under standard PCB mounting conditions (FR4, single-sided copper). Derating applies above +25 °C ambient per the 470 K/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance; at +100 °C ambient, maximum usable current drops to approximately −320 mA to maintain Tj ≤ +175 °C.
Does PDTB143XTR require an external base resistor when driven by a 3.3 V MCU GPIO?
No external base resistor is required. The integrated R1 = 4.7 kΩ input resistor limits base current to ~0.5 mA when driven from 3.3 V, providing sufficient drive for −50 mA collector current while maintaining saturation. This eliminates one passive component and associated layout area in digital interface designs.
How does the R2/R1 ratio of 2.13 affect switching performance?
The R2/R1 ratio of 2.13 sets the internal feedback bias that stabilizes operating point against hFE variation and temperature drift. It results in a typical VI(on) of −1.4 V and VI(off) of −0.75 V, enabling robust noise margins (>0.6 V) in noisy automotive and industrial environments without additional hysteresis circuitry.
Can PDTB143XTR replace BC807-40 in existing designs?
Yes - PDTB143XTR is a drop-in functional replacement for BC807-40 in digital switching applications. It matches the SOT23 pinout (pin 1 = base, pin 2 = emitter, pin 3 = collector), provides superior thermal performance (+175 °C vs. +150 °C), and eliminates two external resistors. Layout changes are unnecessary; only firmware logic polarity may require verification due to PNP vs. NPN topology.
