Product details
Overview
PDTD113ZTVL from Nexperia is an NPN resistor-equipped transistor (RET) in SOT23 package, designed as a single-chip digital switch with integrated 1 kΩ input bias resistor (R1) and 10 kΩ feedback resistor (R2), rated for 50 V VCEO and 500 mA output current, commonly used to interface microcontroller GPIOs with relay or LED loads in industrial control panels.
For engineers reviewing the PDTD113ZTVL datasheet, PDTD113ZTVL pinout, PDTD113ZTVL application, or PDTD113ZTVL equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, validated SOT23 terminal mapping, confirmed automotive-grade switching use cases, and real-world alternatives with documented R1/R2 ratio and saturation voltage differences.
Technical Context
This RET integrates base biasing network directly into the die, eliminating external resistors and reducing PCB footprint. Its fixed R2/R1 ratio of 10 ±10% ensures predictable turn-on behavior across temperature (−40 °C to 100 °C), while VI(on) = 0.4–1.4 V at IC = 20 mA enables direct drive from 3.3 V logic without level-shifting.
The device operates as a saturated switch with VCE(sat) ≤ 300 mV at IC = 50 mA / IB = 2.5 mA, and exhibits low leakage: ICEO ≤ 0.5 µA at VCE = 50 V, supporting reliable off-state isolation in battery-powered sensing nodes.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCEO | 50 V - Maximum collector-emitter voltage before breakdown; supports 24 V industrial bus switching with 100 % margin. |
| IO | 500 mA - Continuous output current rating; drives solenoids up to 12 W at 24 V without heatsinking. |
| R1 | 1 kΩ (0.7–1.3 kΩ) - Input resistor sets base current; enables ~3.3 mA drive from 3.3 V MCU pins. |
| R2/R1 | 10 ±10 % - Feedback-to-input resistor ratio; stabilizes DC gain and improves noise immunity in noisy environments. |
| VCE(sat) | ≤ 300 mV at IC = 50 mA - Low saturation voltage minimizes power loss (≤15 mW) and thermal rise in compact layouts. |
| Ptot | 250 mW at Tamb ≤ 25 °C - Total dissipation limit on FR4 PCB; derates linearly above 25 °C ambient. |
| hFE | ≥ 70 at VCE = 5 V, IC = 50 mA - Minimum DC current gain ensures robust saturation under worst-case process/temp corners. |
Pinout & Package
SOT23 plastic surface-mount package: 3-terminal, 1.9 mm pitch, 2.9 mm × 1.3 mm × 1.0 mm body height, JEDEC MO-203-AB compliant.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Input (base) | Connected internally to R1; accepts logic-level voltage to activate transistor; no external base resistor required. |
| 2 | GND (emitter) | Emitter tied to system ground; serves as common return path for load current and bias network. |
| 3 | Output (collector) | Switched high-side output node; connects to load (e.g., relay coil anode); sinks up to 500 mA. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Built-in bias resistors | Eliminates two external 0402/0603 resistors, reducing BOM count by 2 parts and saving ≥1.5 mm² PCB area. |
| ±10 % R2/R1 tolerance | Ensures consistent switching threshold across production lots, enabling reliable 3.3 V/5 V logic compatibility without recalibration. |
| 500 mA continuous output | Supports direct drive of 24 V/200 mA relays or 12 V/400 mA LEDs without external driver stage or heat spreader. |
| VI(off) ≤ 1 V at IC = 100 µA | Guarantees full cutoff with 0 V or floating MCU pins, preventing unintended load activation during reset or sleep modes. |
Applications
| Industrial PLC I/O Module | Automotive Body Control Unit |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| BC817-40,215 | No integrated resistors; requires external R1/R2; hFE = 250–630 (wider spread); VCE(sat) = 0.7 V typical at same IC/IB. | Higher design flexibility but increases BOM count and layout complexity; better for variable gain or analog amplifier use. | Select when precise hFE tuning or linear operation is needed; avoid for space-constrained digital switching. |
| PDTD123YK,215 | R1 = 2.2 kΩ, R2 = 10 kΩ → R2/R1 = 4.5; lower input sensitivity; VI(on) higher (0.6–1.6 V); same SOT23 package. | Better noise immunity in high-EMI environments; less prone to false triggering from crosstalk or ESD transients. | Select for 5 V systems where higher VI(on) margin is preferred; not drop-in for 3.3 V MCU interfaces. |
Compared with BC817-40 and PDTD123YK, PDTD113ZTVL offers optimal balance of 3.3 V logic compatibility, minimal footprint, and production-ready consistency-making it ideal for high-volume industrial I/O modules where resistor tolerance and saturation voltage directly impact thermal management and board-level test yield.

FAQ
What is the maximum ambient temperature for continuous 500 mA operation?
The PDTD113ZTVL is rated for 500 mA output current only at Tamb ≤ 25 °C on a standard FR4 PCB. At 70 °C ambient, derating requires limiting IO to approximately 280 mA to maintain junction temperature below 150 °C, based on Rth(j-a) = 500 K/W and Ptot = 250 mW.
Can PDTD113ZTVL replace BC817-40 in existing designs without layout changes?
No-PDTD113ZTVL has different pinout (1=Input, 2=GND, 3=Output) versus BC817-40 (1=E, 2=B, 3=C). Direct replacement requires PCB redesign. However, functional equivalence exists for digital switching if R1/R2 values match target bias conditions and VCE(sat) meets load requirements.
Is PDTD113ZTVL qualified for automotive applications?
No-per Nexperia's revision history (v.4, Jan 2023), PDTD113ZTVL is explicitly marked as non-automotive qualified. It lacks AEC-Q101 stress testing and qualification documentation. For automotive use, Nexperia recommends the -Q qualified variant PDTB113ZT (PNP complement) or dedicated automotive RETs like PBSS4041T.
What is the typical input capacitance and its impact on high-speed switching?
Typical collector capacitance Cc is 7 pF at VCB = 10 V, f = 100 MHz. This low value supports clean edge transitions up to ~5 MHz in digital switching applications. For >10 MHz PWM, layout parasitics dominate; ensure short traces and ground plane proximity to minimize ringing.
