Product details
Overview
PDTD123YS,126 from NXP Semiconductors is a through-hole NPN resistor-equipped transistor (RET) designed for digital switching in automotive and industrial control circuits. It features built-in bias resistors R1 = 2.2 kΩ and R2 = 10 kΩ, 500 mA DC output current capability, 50 V collector-emitter voltage rating, ±10 % resistor ratio tolerance, and TO-92 (SOT54) package with 3-pin leaded configuration.
For engineers reviewing the PDTD123YS,126 datasheet, PDTD123YS,126 pinout, PDTD123YS,126 application, or PDTD123YS,126 equivalent, this part serves as a cost-optimized, component-count-reducing alternative to discrete BJT + resistor combinations in load switching and IC input driving applications where simplified PCB layout and reduced assembly cost are critical.
Technical Context
The PDTD123YS,126 integrates two precision thin-film resistors (R1 = 2.2 kΩ, R2 = 10 kΩ) directly into an NPN silicon transistor die, forming a monolithic resistor-equipped transistor. Its internal R2-to-R1 ratio of 4.55 ±10 % ensures stable base biasing across temperature and process variation.
It operates with VI(on) = 0.5–1.4 V at IC = 20 mA and VI(off) = 0.4–1.0 V at IC = 100 μA, enabling reliable logic-level interfacing with microcontrollers and gate drivers. The device delivers VCEsat ≤ 0.3 V at IC = 50 mA / IB = 2.5 mA and supports junction temperatures up to 150 °C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCEO | 50 V - Maximum safe collector-emitter voltage under open-base condition; defines maximum load supply rail compatibility. |
| IO (DC) | 500 mA - Continuous output current handling capacity; supports medium-power relay, LED, and solenoid loads. |
| R1 | 2.2 kΩ ±30 % - Input bias resistor value; sets base current magnitude when driven by logic-level signals. |
| R2/R1 | 4.55 ±10 % - Precision resistor ratio determining feedback stability and saturation margin in digital switch mode. |
| VCEsat | ≤ 0.3 V at IC = 50 mA - Low saturation voltage minimizes power loss and heat generation during on-state operation. |
| VI(on) | 0.5–1.4 V at IC = 20 mA - Valid input voltage range to reliably turn on the transistor; compatible with 3.3 V and 5 V logic families. |
| hFE | ≥ 70 at VCE = 5 V, IC = 50 mA - Minimum DC current gain ensures sufficient drive margin without external base current calculation. |
Pinout & Package
Package: SC-43A (JEITA), TO-92 (JEDEC), SOT54 (NXP); plastic single-ended leaded through-hole package with standard 2.54 mm lead pitch and 5.2 mm body height.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | input (base) | Internal connection to R1 and R2 network; accepts logic-level control signal; no external base resistor required. |
| 2 | output (collector) | High-current output node; connects to load (e.g., relay coil, LED string); rated for 500 mA continuous DC. |
| 3 | GND (emitter) | Common reference terminal; ties to system ground; forms return path for load current and bias network. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Built-in bias resistors R1 & R2 | Eliminates need for two external SMT or through-hole resistors, reducing BOM count and PCB real estate. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| BC817-40,115 | Discrete NPN BJT without integrated resistors; requires external R1/R2; hFE = 250–630; same SOT23 footprint but different package type. | Used where adjustable bias or higher gain is needed; not drop-in compatible due to missing internal resistors and different pinout. | Select BC817-40,115 only when custom bias tuning or higher hFE is required; additional resistors increase BOM and layout complexity. |
| PDTB123YS,112 | PNP complement of PDTD123YS,126; identical R1/R2 values and TO-92 package; VCEO = −50 V; IO = −500 mA. | Used for high-side switching or complementary logic stages; shares same footprint and thermal profile but opposite polarity. | Choose PDTB123YS,112 when implementing push-pull outputs, level inversion, or sourcing current in the same system architecture. |
Compared with BC817-40,115 and PDTB123YS,112, the PDTD123YS,126 provides a complete, calibrated NPN switching solution in TO-92 with no external bias components-reducing design time, test iterations, and long-term field failure risk from resistor drift or solder joint fatigue.

FAQ
What is the package type and lead configuration of PDTD123YS,126?
The PDTD123YS,126 uses the SOT54 package, also known as TO-92 or SC-43A, with three straight through-hole leads spaced at 2.54 mm pitch. Pin 1 is input (base), Pin 2 is output (collector), and Pin 3 is GND (emitter). This configuration supports manual soldering and legacy board designs requiring mechanical robustness.
Does PDTD123YS,126 require external base resistors for operation?
No, the PDTD123YS,126 does not require external base resistors because it integrates R1 = 2.2 kΩ and R2 = 10 kΩ internally. These resistors provide fixed biasing that enables direct connection to 3.3 V or 5 V logic outputs, eliminating design steps related to resistor selection, placement, and tolerance stacking.
What is the maximum continuous collector current rating for PDTD123YS,126?
The PDTD123YS,126 is rated for 500 mA DC output current under standard FR4 PCB mounting conditions (single-sided copper, tin-plated). This rating applies at ambient temperatures up to 25 °C; derating is required above Tamb = 25 °C per the thermal resistance Rth(j-a) = 250 K/W specified for the SOT54 package.
How does the R2/R1 ratio affect switching performance in PDTD123YS,126?
The R2/R1 ratio of 4.55 ±10 % in the PDTD123YS,126 determines the internal feedback strength and saturation depth. A tightly controlled ratio ensures consistent VCEsat ≤ 0.3 V and prevents unintended partial turn-on due to process or temperature variation-critical for reliable digital on/off behavior in automotive and industrial environments.
Is PDTD123YS,126 suitable for use in automotive applications?
Yes, the PDTD123YS,126 is explicitly qualified for automotive interior lighting control per its product profile and quick reference data. It meets 50 V VCEO, 150 °C Tj, and −65 °C to +150 °C storage/ambient temperature specifications, and its resistor-equipped architecture reduces failure modes associated with external component aging or solder joint fatigue in vibration-prone environments.
