Product details
Overview
PDTC114TE,115 from Nexperia is an NPN resistor-equipped transistor (RET) with integrated 10 kΩ input bias resistor (R1), open R2 configuration, 50 V VCEO, 100 mA output current capability, and SOT416 (SC-75) package - designed for digital switching in space-constrained logic interface circuits.
For engineers reviewing the PDTC114TE,115 datasheet, PDTC114TE,115 pinout, PDTC114TE,115 application, or PDTC114TE,115 equivalent, this device serves as a compact, component-count-reducing alternative to discrete BJT + resistor combinations in microcontroller I/O buffering, LED driving, and low-power load switching.
Technical Context
The PDTC114TE,115 integrates a single NPN silicon transistor with a monolithically fabricated 10 kΩ base-input resistor (R1) and no internal emitter-base feedback resistor (R2 = open), enabling direct TTL/CMOS-level drive without external bias components. Its simplified three-terminal structure supports unidirectional current flow from collector to emitter under base-controlled saturation.
This RET operates as a saturated switch with guaranteed VCE(sat) ≤ 150 mV at IC = 10 mA / IB = 0.5 mA, hFE ≥ 200 at IC = 1 mA, and exhibits low leakage (ICEO ≤ 1 µA at VCE = 30 V), making it suitable for low-duty-cycle digital control where predictable turn-on threshold and minimal quiescent power are required.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCEO | 50 V - Maximum safe collector-emitter voltage before breakdown; enables use in 24 V and lower logic-supplied systems. |
| IO | 100 mA - Continuous DC output current rating; sufficient for driving LEDs, small relays, or logic inputs. |
| R1 | 10 kΩ (7–13 kΩ range) - Integrated base-input resistor sets standard TTL-compatible input impedance; eliminates external bias resistor. |
| VCE(sat) | ≤ 150 mV at IC = 10 mA / IB = 0.5 mA - Low saturation voltage minimizes power loss and heat generation during switching. |
| hFE | ≥ 200 at VCE = 5 V, IC = 1 mA - High DC current gain ensures reliable saturation with minimal base drive current. |
| Ptot | 150 mW at Tamb ≤ 25 °C - Power dissipation limit defines thermal derating envelope for PCB layout in SOT416 footprint. |
Pinout & Package
SOT416 (SC-75) surface-mount plastic package: 1.75 mm × 0.95 mm × 0.7 mm body, 3-lead single-row outline with gull-wing leads; optimized for high-density automated assembly and reflow soldering only.
| 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); no external resistor needed. |
| 2 | GND (emitter) | Emitter tied to system ground; provides reference node for input and output paths; common return for switched load. |
| 3 | output (collector) | Switched high-side output node; connects to load (e.g., LED anode or relay coil); sinks current when active. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated R1 = 10 kΩ | Eliminates one external resistor per switch channel, reducing BOM count and PCB area in multi-channel interfaces. |
| R2 = open | Enables direct logic-level drive without emitter feedback; simplifies design for non-inverting buffer or low-side switch configurations. |
| 100 mA IO rating | Supports driving multiple standard LEDs (20 mA each) or small solenoids without external amplification. |
| VCE(sat) ≤ 150 mV | Reduces conduction loss to <1.5 mW at 10 mA, minimizing self-heating and enabling higher duty cycles in thermally constrained layouts. |
| SOT416 package | 0.65 mm pitch, ultra-small footprint (1.75 × 0.95 mm) - ideal for wearables, IoT sensors, and miniaturized consumer electronics. |
Applications
| Microcontroller I/O Buffering | LED Indicator Driving |

| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| PDTC114TK,115 | SOT346 (SC-59A) package; 250 mW Ptot; identical R1, VCEO, and IO specs. | Larger footprint (3.0 × 1.7 mm) but higher power handling; better thermal performance in moderate-load scenarios. | Select when board layout allows larger package and >150 mW dissipation is needed. |
| BC847B,215 | Standard NPN BJT (no built-in resistors); requires external 10 kΩ base resistor; same SOT23 package option. | Greater design flexibility (adjustable bias), but increases component count and layout complexity. | Select when precise hFE tuning or variable base drive is required across operating temperature. |

FAQ
What is the maximum collector-emitter voltage rating for PDTC114TE,115?
The PDTC114TE,115 has a maximum collector-emitter voltage (VCEO) rating of 50 V under open-base conditions. This specification is confirmed in Table 2 (Quick reference data) and Table 6 (Limiting values) of the official Nexperia datasheet Rev. 08 - 9 February 2006. Exceeding this voltage risks permanent breakdown of the internal NPN junction.
Does PDTC114TE,115 include both R1 and R2 bias resistors?
No, the PDTC114TE,115 includes only R1 = 10 kΩ (with tolerance 7–13 kΩ) and has R2 = open, as explicitly stated in the product overview and Section 1.1 of the datasheet. This configuration supports direct logic-level drive without emitter feedback, distinguishing it from dual-resistor RET variants like PDTC124 series.
What is the thermal resistance from junction to ambient for PDTC114TE,115?
The PDTC114TE,115 has a thermal resistance from junction to ambient (Rth(j-a)) of 833 K/W when mounted on an FR4 PCB with single-sided copper and standard footprint, per Table 7 of the datasheet. This value reflects its SOT416 package's limited heat-spreading capability and necessitates conservative power derating above 25 °C ambient.
Can PDTC114TE,115 be used as a direct replacement for BC847B in digital switching circuits?
Yes, the PDTC114TE,115 serves as a cost-saving alternative to BC847B in digital applications, as noted in Section 1.2 of the datasheet. It replicates BC847B's switching function while integrating the required 10 kΩ base resistor - eliminating one external component and reducing PCB area, though pinout differs (SOT416 vs. SOT23).
What is the marking code for PDTC114TE,115 on the physical device?
The marking code for PDTC114TE,115 is "24", as specified in Table 5 (Marking codes) of the datasheet. This two-character top-side laser marking appears on the SOT416 package body and is used for visual identification and traceability during assembly and inspection.
