Product details
Overview
PDTC123TE from Nexperia is an NPN resistor-equipped transistor (RET) in SOT416 (SC-75) surface-mount package, designed for digital switching with integrated 2.2 kΩ base bias resistor (R1), 50 V VCEO, 100 mA output current capability, and 150 mV VCEsat at IC = 10 mA/IB = 0.5 mA - used in low-power logic-level interface and load control circuits.
For engineers reviewing the PDTC123TE datasheet, PDTC123TE pinout, PDTC123TE application, or PDTC123TE equivalent, this page delivers verified package mapping (SOT416), confirmed pin roles (base-input/emitter-GND/collector-output), thermal resistance (833 K/W), R1 tolerance (1.54–2.86 kΩ), and direct alternatives for BC847-based digital switch designs.
Technical Context
The PDTC123TE integrates a single 2.2 kΩ input bias resistor (R1) with open R2 configuration, eliminating external base resistors in saturated-switch applications. Its NPN structure supports DC current gain (hFE) ≥30 at IC = 20 mA/VCE = 5 V and exhibits low leakage: ICEO ≤1 µA at VCE = 30 V and ≤50 µA at Tj = 150 °C.
Thermal performance is specified for FR4 PCB mounting with single-sided copper (833 K/W Rth(j-a)), and absolute maximum ratings include 50 V VCBO/VCEO, 5 V VEBO, and 150 °C junction temperature - confirming suitability for ambient-temperature-stable digital logic interfacing.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCEO | 50 V - supports rail-to-rail switching up to 5 V logic systems with safety margin |
| IO | 100 mA - drives moderate-current loads like LEDs, small relays, or gate inputs |
| R1 | 2.2 kΩ (1.54–2.86 kΩ) - sets base current for predictable saturation without external resistor |
| VCEsat | ≤150 mV at IC=10 mA/IB=0.5 mA - ensures low conduction loss and minimal self-heating |
| hFE | ≥30 at VCE=5 V/IC=20 mA - guarantees reliable on-state gain for digital switching |
| Ptot | 150 mW at Tamb ≤25 °C - defines power envelope for SOT416 thermal design |
| Rth(j-a) | 833 K/W - indicates thermal limitation requiring minimal copper area or derating above 25 °C |
Pinout & Package
SOT416 (SC-75) is a 3-lead ultra-small surface-mount plastic package measuring 1.75 × 0.95 × 0.7 mm, optimized for high-density PCB layouts and reflow soldering only.
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | input (base) | Connects to driving logic signal; internal R1 pulls base toward VCC when active |
| 2 | GND (emitter) | Common reference node; must be tied to system ground for proper biasing |
| 3 | output (collector) | Switches load between VCC and this node; sinks current when saturated |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated R1 bias resistor | Eliminates need for external base resistor, reducing BOM count by one component |
| Low VCEsat | 150 mV max enables efficient switching with <150 µW conduction loss at 1 mA load |
| High VCEO rating | 50 V withstand allows use in 3.3 V, 5 V, and 12 V logic domains without derating |
| SC-75 footprint | SOT416 package supports 0.5 mm pitch routing and automated pick-and-place assembly |
| 100 mA IO capability | Supports direct drive of microcontroller GPIO outputs into medium-current loads |
Applications
| Logic-Level Signal Switching | Microcontroller GPIO Load Control |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Isolating and level-shifting signals between mixed-voltage ICs (e.g., 3.3 V MCU to 5 V peripheral). IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: NPN RET acts as a unidirectional active pull-up/pull-down switch with defined turn-on threshold. Use Value: Integrated R1 ensures consistent base current across voltage rails, avoiding timing skew from external resistor tolerance. | Use Scenario: Driving LED indicators, small solenoids, or MOSFET gates directly from MCU GPIO pins. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Acts as a saturated switch translating high-Z GPIO output into controlled current sink path. Use Value: 100 mA rating and 150 mV VCEsat minimize GPIO stress and heat generation during sustained on-state operation. |
| Board-Level Power Sequencing | Digital Input Conditioning |
Use Scenario: Enabling/disabling power to auxiliary subsystems (e.g., sensor modules) based on system state. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Functions as a low-side enable switch controlling VCC return path to ground. Use Value: 50 V VCEO accommodates 12 V supply rails while maintaining safe margin against transients. | Use Scenario: Debouncing or noise filtering of mechanical switch inputs before MCU interrupt lines. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Provides clean, latched digital input conditioning using RET's hysteresis-free switching. Use Value: Low ICEO (≤1 µA) prevents false triggering in high-impedance input configurations over temperature. |
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| BC847B,115 | Discrete NPN BJT requiring external 2.2 kΩ base resistor; no integrated R1 | Higher BOM count and layout area; requires additional passives for same function | Select when existing designs already use BC847 and external biasing is acceptable |
| PDTA123TE,115 | PNP complement with identical R1 value and SOT416 package; VECO = 50 V, IO = 100 mA | Used for high-side switching or inverted logic control where emitter connects to VCC | Select for complementary switching pairs or when sourcing current is required instead of sinking |
Compared with BC847B,115, PDTC123TE reduces component count and layout complexity; compared with PDTA123TE,115, it provides NPN polarity for standard low-side switching - enabling direct replacement in logic-driven sink configurations without circuit redesign.

FAQ
What is the package type and footprint of PDTC123TE?
PDTC123TE uses the SOT416 (SC-75) package: a 3-lead surface-mount outline measuring 1.75 × 0.95 × 0.7 mm with 0.9 mm lead pitch. Its pin 1 is base input, pin 2 is emitter (GND), and pin 3 is collector output - compatible with standard reflow soldering processes and high-density PCB layouts.
Does PDTC123TE have an integrated pull-down resistor (R2)?
No, PDTC123TE has only one integrated bias resistor: R1 = 2.2 kΩ (1.54–2.86 kΩ) between base and input. R2 is open, meaning no internal base-emitter resistor is present - making it suitable for applications requiring strict control over base bias without unintended leakage paths.
What is the maximum continuous collector current for PDTC123TE?
The PDTC123TE supports a maximum continuous output current (IO) of 100 mA under normal operating conditions. This rating applies with ambient temperature ≤25 °C and proper PCB thermal management; derating is required above that temperature per its 833 K/W thermal resistance.
Can PDTC123TE replace BC847 series transistors directly?
PDTC123TE serves as a cost-saving alternative to BC847 series in digital switching applications but is not pin-compatible. It integrates R1, so external base resistors become unnecessary - requiring minor schematic updates but reducing component count and improving consistency in production builds.
What is the typical VCEsat of PDTC123TE and under what conditions is it specified?
The PDTC123TE has a maximum VCEsat of 150 mV, measured at IC = 10 mA and IB = 0.5 mA with Tamb = 25 °C. This low saturation voltage ensures minimal power dissipation during on-state operation, supporting energy-efficient digital interface and load-switching functions.
