Product details
Overview
PDTC143XQB from Nexperia is a 50 V, 100 mA NPN resistor-equipped transistor (RET) in a leadless DFN1110D-3 (SOT8015) package with side-wettable flanks. It integrates 4.7 kΩ input bias resistor (R1) and 10 kΩ pull-down resistor (R2), enabling direct logic-level switching without external bias components. Designed for digital load control and IC input interfacing in space-constrained consumer and industrial PCBs.
For engineers reviewing the PDTC143XQB datasheet, PDTC143XQB pinout, PDTC143XQB application, or PDTC143XQB equivalent, this device serves as a drop-in replacement for BC847-based digital switches where board area, solder joint inspection, and component count reduction are critical.
Technical Context
This RET implements a monolithic NPN transistor with two integrated silicon resistors forming a fixed-base bias network. The R1–R2 topology provides predictable turn-on/off thresholds and eliminates discrete base resistor selection during layout. Its 0.48 mm profile and side-wettable flanks support automated optical inspection (AOI) of solder joints on fine-pitch PCBs.
The device operates with a typical DC current gain (hFE) of 50 at VCE = 5 V and IC = 10 mA, collector-emitter saturation voltage (VCE(sat)) ≤ 100 mV at IC = 10 mA/IB = 0.5 mA, and transition frequency (fT) of 230 MHz - confirming suitability for high-speed digital switching up to ~10 MHz edge rates.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCEO | 50 V - Maximum allowable collector-emitter voltage before breakdown; supports 24 V and 3.3/5 V logic-controlled loads. |
| IO | 100 mA - Continuous output current capability; sufficient for driving LEDs, small relays, and logic inputs. |
| R1 / R2 | 4.7 kΩ / 10 kΩ - Fixed internal bias network; sets reliable logic-compatible input threshold (~1.5 V turn-on, ~0.3 V turn-off). |
| VCE(sat) | ≤ 100 mV at IC = 10 mA - Ensures minimal conduction loss and low self-heating in always-on or PWM-switched loads. |
| Package | DFN1110D-3 (SOT8015) - 1.1 × 1.0 × 0.48 mm ultra-thin leadless package with side-wettable flanks for AOI-compatible reflow assembly. |
| fT | 230 MHz - Confirms fast switching response; enables clean edges in digital signal routing and clock buffering. |
| hFE | 50 (min) at IC = 10 mA - Guarantees stable current amplification under standard digital drive conditions. |
Pinout & Package
DFN1110D-3 (SOT8015) is a 3-terminal, leadless, ultra-thin surface-mount package with side-wettable flanks for automated optical inspection. Dimensions: 1.1 mm × 1.0 mm × 0.48 mm, 0.65 mm pitch, 0.22 mm max height above PCB.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Input (base) | Connected internally to R1; accepts TTL/CMOS logic signals directly without external pull-up/down. |
| 2 | GND (emitter) | Emitter tied to ground reference; forms common return path for load current and bias network. |
| 3 | Output (collector) | Switched high-side output node; connects to load (e.g., LED anode, relay coil, IC input) referenced to VCC. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated bias resistors | Eliminates 2 external SMT resistors per switch, reducing BOM count and placement cost in multi-channel digital interfaces. |
| Side-wettable flanks | Enables 100% automated optical inspection (AOI) of solder joints without X-ray, improving manufacturing yield and traceability. |
| Ultra-low profile | 0.48 mm max height allows use in ultra-thin devices (e.g., wearables, slim displays) where Z-height is constrained. |
| Logic-compatible VI(on)/VI(off) | Turn-on threshold ~1.5 V and turn-off < 0.3 V ensure robust operation with 3.3 V and 5 V CMOS outputs across temperature. |
| Thermal derating | Rated 340 mW on 35 µm FR4; derates linearly to zero at 150 °C junction, supporting operation in sealed enclosures up to 85 °C ambient. |
Applications
| LED Indicator Control | Digital Input Conditioning |
|---|---|

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| PDTC123JQB | R1 = 2.2 kΩ, R2 = 47 kΩ → lower input impedance, higher VI(on) (~0.75 V), lower hFE (100 min) | Better suited for 1.8 V logic systems; less sensitive to leakage but requires higher drive current. | Select when interfacing with low-voltage MCUs or where higher off-state noise immunity is required. |
| PDTC143ZQB | R1 = 4.7 kΩ, R2 = 47 kΩ → same R1, doubled R2 → tighter VI(off) control (< 0.5 V), improved leakage rejection | Preferred in battery-powered IoT nodes where standby current must stay below 100 nA. | Choose for ultra-low-power sleep modes or high-impedance sensing circuits requiring minimal input loading. |
Compared with PDTC123JQB and PDTC143ZQB, PDTC143XQB offers the best balance of logic compatibility (1.5 V VI(on)), low saturation loss (100 mV), and compact size - making it optimal for general-purpose 3.3/5 V digital switching where design simplicity and board area are prioritized.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous collector current for PDTC143XQB?
The absolute maximum continuous collector current is 100 mA at Tamb ≤ 25 °C on a standard FR4 PCB with 35 µm copper. Derating begins linearly above 25 °C, reaching zero at 150 °C junction temperature. At 85 °C ambient, usable current drops to approximately 65 mA under the same board conditions.
Can PDTC143XQB replace a standard BC847B in existing designs?
Yes - PDTC143XQB provides functionally equivalent NPN switching behavior with integrated biasing. While pinout differs (SOT8015 vs SOT23), adapter footprints exist, and its VI(on)/VI(off) thresholds match BC847-driven logic levels. No circuit redesign is needed beyond footprint adaptation and removal of two external resistors.
Does PDTC143XQB support automatic optical inspection (AOI)?
Yes - its DFN1110D-3 package features side-wettable flanks designed explicitly for AOI. The exposed copper sidewalls allow camera-based solder joint verification without requiring X-ray inspection, improving first-pass yield and reducing final test cost in high-volume SMT lines.
What is the thermal resistance from junction to ambient (Rth(j-a)) for PDTC143XQB?
Rth(j-a) is 368 K/W when mounted on a single-sided FR4 PCB with 35 µm copper and standard footprint, and 298 K/W with 70 µm copper. These values are measured in free air; airflow or copper pour can further reduce thermal resistance by up to 40% in optimized layouts.
