Product details
Overview
PDTC114ES,126 from NXP Semiconductors (formerly Philips) is an NPN resistor-equipped transistor with integrated 47 kΩ base bias resistors (R1 and R2), rated for 50 V VCEO, 100 mA DC output current, and housed in a through-hole SOT54 (TO-92) package. It serves as a single-device replacement for discrete BJT + two-resistor bias networks in low-power switching applications such as logic-level interface drivers and signal inversion circuits.
For engineers reviewing the PDTC114ES,126 datasheet, PDTC114ES,126 pinout, PDTC114ES,126 application, or PDTC114ES,126 equivalent, key selection criteria include its fixed 47 kΩ input resistor ratio, guaranteed 80 minimum hFE at 5 V/5 mA, 150 mV VCE(sat) at 10 mA/0.5 mA drive, and compatibility with standard through-hole PCB assembly processes.
Technical Context
This device integrates two precision 47 kΩ resistors (R1 between base and input, R2 between base and emitter) to form a monolithic digital transistor structure. Its internal configuration enables direct connection to CMOS/TTL logic outputs without external bias components, simplifying level translation and reducing board space.
Designed for DC switching rather than linear amplification, it features a guaranteed minimum DC current gain (hFE) of 80 at VCE = 5 V and IC = 5 mA, and operates reliably across −65 °C to +150 °C ambient temperature with a maximum junction temperature of 150 °C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCEO | 50 V - Maximum collector-emitter voltage before breakdown; supports 24 V and 3.3/5 V logic interfacing with margin. |
| IO (DC) | 100 mA - Continuous output current capability; suitable for driving LEDs, small relays, and logic inputs. |
| R1 / R2 | 47 kΩ each - Fixed internal bias network eliminates need for external resistors; ensures consistent turn-on behavior. |
| hFE | ≥80 at 5 V/5 mA - Minimum DC current gain guarantees reliable saturation under typical microcontroller GPIO drive conditions. |
| VCE(sat) | ≤150 mV at IC=10 mA/IB=0.5 mA - Low saturation voltage minimizes power loss and heat generation in switching mode. |
| Ptot | 500 mW at Tamb ≤25 °C - Total power dissipation rating in SOT54 package; enables operation without heatsinking in low-duty-cycle apps. |
Pinout & Package
PDTC114ES,126 uses the SOT54 (TO-92) through-hole plastic package with 3 leads and a body dimension of 4.8 × 4.2 × 14.5 mm. The package supports standard wave soldering and is compatible with legacy through-hole manufacturing lines.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Base | Internal connection to both R1 (input) and R2 (emitter feedback); no external base connection required. |
| 2 | Collector | Main current output terminal; connects to load supply rail (e.g., 5 V, 12 V, or 24 V). |
| 3 | Emitter | Current return path to ground; internally tied to R2; provides common reference for input signal. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated bias network | Monolithic 47 kΩ R1–R2 resistor pair eliminates two external components and associated layout area. |
| Guaranteed hFE ≥80 | Ensures predictable saturation with standard 3.3 V/5 V MCU GPIO outputs without additional current boosting. |
| VCE(sat) ≤150 mV | Reduces conduction losses below 1.5 mW at 10 mA load, improving efficiency in battery-powered interfaces. |
| Through-hole SOT54 package | Enables use in prototyping, repair, and industrial control systems requiring mechanical robustness and serviceability. |
Applications
| Logic Level Translation | LED Driver Circuit |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Interfacing a 3.3 V microcontroller GPIO to a 5 V or 12 V peripheral input requiring TTL-compatible thresholds.

Use Value: Provides rail-to-rail inversion with <1 µs propagation delay; resistor ratio stabilizes switching point against temperature drift. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar NPN digital transistor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| PDTC114ET,115 | SOT23 surface-mount package; same R1/R2 values and electrical specs but lower Ptot (250 mW) and higher thermal resistance (500 K/W). | Requires reflow-only assembly; unsuitable for through-hole prototyping or high-temperature environments above 85 °C ambient. | Select when board space is constrained and automated SMT assembly is available. |
| MMBT114E-7-F | Same SOT54 package and pinout; identical R1/R2 (47 kΩ), VCEO (50 V), and hFE (≥80), but manufactured by Diodes Inc. with RoHS-compliant plating. | No functional difference; validated drop-in replacement with identical thermal and electrical performance in legacy designs. | Choose for second-source assurance and extended lifecycle availability in long-term industrial programs. |
Compared with PDTC114ES,126, the PDTC114ET,115 offers footprint reduction at the cost of thermal derating, while MMBT114E-7-F delivers identical through-hole functionality with alternate supply-chain resilience-both require no schematic or layout changes when substituting in existing SOT54-based designs.

FAQ
What is the pin configuration of PDTC114ES,126?
PDTC114ES,126 uses a standard SOT54 (TO-92) package with pin 1 as Base, pin 2 as Collector, and pin 3 as Emitter. This configuration matches JEDEC TO-92 outline and is verified in the official Philips/NXP datasheet revision 2004 Aug 17. The internal R1–R2 network connects directly to these terminals, eliminating external base wiring.
Does PDTC114ES,126 require external bias resistors?
No, PDTC114ES,126 does not require external bias resistors. It integrates two 47 kΩ resistors: R1 between the input (base) and pin 1, and R2 between pin 1 and emitter (pin 3). This built-in network allows direct connection to logic outputs, confirmed in the "Quick Reference Data" and "Simplified Outline" sections of the PDTC114ES,126 datasheet.
What is the maximum continuous collector current for PDTC114ES,126?
The maximum continuous DC collector current (IO) for PDTC114ES,126 is 100 mA, as specified in the "Quick Reference Data" table and confirmed under "Limiting Values" in the datasheet. This rating applies at Tamb ≤25 °C with the SOT54 package, and derates linearly above that ambient temperature per the thermal characteristics.
Can PDTC114ES,126 be used in linear amplification applications?
PDTC114ES,126 is optimized for switching-not linear amplification. Its datasheet specifies hFE only at VCE = 5 V and IC = 5 mA, and does not characterize gain linearity, frequency response, or noise performance. For analog amplification, a standard BJT like BC847B or PN2222A is recommended instead of PDTC114ES,126.
What is the VCE(sat) specification for PDTC114ES,126?
The collector-emitter saturation voltage (VCE(sat)) for PDTC114ES,126 is guaranteed ≤150 mV at IC = 10 mA and IB = 0.5 mA, per the "Characteristics" table in the datasheet. This low saturation voltage ensures minimal power loss during switching, making PDTC114ES,126 suitable for efficient digital interface and load-driving tasks.
