Product details
Overview
PDTC123JQB from Nexperia is a 50 V, 100 mA NPN resistor-equipped transistor (RET) in a DFN1110D-3 (SOT8015) leadless SMD package with side-wettable flanks. It integrates 2.2 kΩ input bias resistor (R1) and 47 kΩ feedback resistor (R2), delivers hFE = 100 at IC = 10 mA, VCE(sat) ≤ 100 mV, and supports digital switching of IC inputs and low-power loads.
For engineers reviewing the PDTC123JQB datasheet, PDTC123JQB pinout, PDTC123JQB application, or PDTC123JQB equivalent, this device serves as a drop-in replacement for BC847-based digital interface circuits where reduced component count, AOI-compatible solder joints, and ultra-thin 0.48 mm profile are critical.
Technical Context
This RET implements a monolithic NPN transistor with two integrated silicon resistors forming a base bias network-R1 connects base to input, R2 connects base to emitter-enabling single-pin logic-level drive without external bias components. Its architecture eliminates discrete base resistors while maintaining predictable DC current gain and saturation behavior across −40 °C to +100 °C.
The DFN1110D-3 package features side-wettable flanks for automated optical inspection of solder joints, 0.65 mm pitch, and 1.1 × 1.0 × 0.48 mm body dimensions. Thermal resistance Rth(j-a) is 298 K/W on 70 µm FR4 PCB, supporting continuous 100 mA output under standard board conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCEO | 50 V - Maximum collector-emitter voltage before breakdown; enables use in 24 V industrial control and 3.3/5 V logic interfaces with margin. |
| IO | 100 mA - Continuous DC output current capability; sufficient for driving LEDs, small relays, and logic gate inputs. |
| hFE | 100 (typ.) at VCE = 5 V, IC = 10 mA - Predictable current amplification simplifies drive circuit design without iterative resistor tuning. |
| VCE(sat) | ≤ 100 mV at IC = 5 mA, IB = 0.25 mA - Low saturation voltage minimizes power loss and self-heating in switching applications. |
| R1 / R2 | 2.2 kΩ / 47 kΩ - Fixed internal bias network reduces BOM count by two resistors and eliminates placement errors in high-volume assembly. |
| Tj(max) | 150 °C - Maximum junction temperature allows operation in sealed enclosures or near heat sources without derating below rated current. |
Pinout & Package
DFN1110D-3 (SOT8015) is an ultra-thin, leadless plastic package measuring 1.1 × 1.0 × 0.48 mm with side-wettable flanks for AOI-compatible reflow soldering.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Input (base) | Logic-level signal entry point; internally connected to R1; accepts 0.75–1.1 V typical turn-on voltage (VI(on)) for clean digital switching. |
| 2 | GND (emitter) | Emitter reference and thermal path; tied directly to PCB ground plane; enables low-inductance return for fast switching. |
| 3 | Output (collector) | Switched load connection; rated for 50 V and 100 mA; requires external pull-up or load to VCC for active-low operation. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated bias resistors | Eliminates need for two external base resistors, reducing PCB area and pick-and-place steps in automated assembly. |
| Side-wettable flanks | Enables 100% automated optical inspection of solder joints on bottom terminals-critical for automotive and medical manufacturing compliance. |
| Ultra-low profile | 0.48 mm max height supports ultra-thin end equipment such as wearables and slim IoT sensors where Z-height is constrained. |
| 100 mA output rating | Sustains full-rated current without external heatsinking on standard FR4, simplifying thermal design for space-constrained modules. |
Applications
| Industrial Control Inputs | LED Driver Interface |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Isolating and conditioning 24 V PLC output signals before feeding into microcontroller GPIO pins. IC Role / Device Role: Level-shifting and current-limiting switch that translates industrial voltage levels to safe 3.3 V logic-compatible signals. Use Value: Eliminates need for separate voltage divider and series resistor, reducing bill-of-materials and layout complexity while maintaining noise immunity. |
Use Scenario: Driving indicator LEDs in battery-powered handheld devices with strict height and power constraints. IC Role / Device Role: Low-saturation switch controlling LED anode connection to supply rail in active-low configuration. Use Value: 100 mV VCE(sat) preserves battery life and enables use of smaller current-limiting resistors without compromising brightness. |
| Microcontroller GPIO Expander | Low-Power Sensor Interface |
Use Scenario: Adding discrete on/off control channels to MCUs with limited GPIO availability, e.g., enabling/disabling sensor power rails. IC Role / Device Role: Digital output buffer providing 100 mA sink capability per channel to manage peripheral power sequencing. Use Value: Integrated R1/R2 ensures consistent turn-on behavior across channels without calibration, improving batch-to-batch functional uniformity. |
Use Scenario: Enabling analog sensor biasing circuits only during measurement cycles to minimize system standby current. IC Role / Device Role: Precision-controlled switch activating sensor supply with minimal leakage (<180 µA IEBO) during off-state. Use Value: Sub-µA off-state current extends multi-year battery life in wireless environmental monitoring nodes. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar NPN resistor-equipped transistor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| PDTC143XQB | R1 = 4.7 kΩ, R2 = 10 kΩ, hFE = 50, VI(off) = 0.3 V (max) | Better noise immunity in noisy environments due to lower VI(off), but lower current gain reduces margin in marginal drive conditions. | Select when interfacing with high-noise industrial buses where false triggering must be minimized, and drive current is ≥20 mA. |
| BC847B | Discrete NPN BJT requiring external 10 kΩ base resistor; no integrated R2; hFE = 200–450; VCE(sat) = 200 mV (typ.) | Higher gain enables weaker drive sources, but adds two passives and increases assembly cost and footprint. | Choose when maximum DC gain is required and board space/cost allow for two additional 0402 resistors and manual tuning. |
Compared with PDTC143XQB, PDTC123JQB offers higher hFE and tighter VI(on) tolerance for reliable low-current switching, while BC847B provides greater flexibility at the cost of BOM expansion and process variability.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature for PDTC123JQB?
The PDTC123JQB has a maximum junction temperature (Tj) of 150 °C and operates across an ambient temperature range of −55 °C to +150 °C. Its thermal resistance is 298 K/W on a 70 µm copper FR4 PCB, allowing full 100 mA current handling up to +85 °C ambient without derating.
Can PDTC123JQB replace BC847 in existing designs?
Yes-PDTC123JQB is a direct functional replacement for BC847 in digital switching roles. It integrates R1 and R2, eliminating two external resistors. Pin compatibility requires adapting the SOT23 footprint to DFN1110D-3 (SOT8015), and its lower VCE(sat) (100 mV vs. 200 mV) improves efficiency in high-duty-cycle applications.
Does PDTC123JQB support automatic optical inspection (AOI)?
Yes-its DFN1110D-3 package features side-wettable flanks explicitly designed for AOI. The exposed copper sidewalls enable reliable solder-joint inspection using standard machine vision systems, meeting IPC-A-610 Class 2 and Class 3 requirements for industrial and medical assemblies.
What is the off-state input leakage current of PDTC123JQB?
At VCE = 5 V and Tj = 25 °C, the emitter-base off-state leakage (IEBO) is 180 µA maximum. This value remains stable across temperature, ensuring predictable high-impedance behavior when used as a logic-level switch in battery-critical applications.
