Product details
Overview
PEMX1 from Nexperia is an NPN/NPN general-purpose double transistor in a SOT666 surface-mount package, providing two matched low-voltage switching transistors with VCEO = 40 V, IC = 100 mA per device, and hFE = 120 (typ.) at IC = 1 mA. It replaces two discrete SC-75/SC-89 transistors on the same PCB area and is used in compact consumer and industrial signal switching circuits.
For engineers reviewing the PEMX1 datasheet, PEMX1 pinout, PEMX1 application, or PEMX1 equivalent, key selection criteria include dual-transistor integration in ultra-small footprint, verified thermal resistance (Rth(j-a) = 416 K/W), per-transistor DC current gain, collector-emitter saturation voltage (VCEsat ≤ 200 mV), and reflow-soldering compatibility per JEDEC J-STD-020.
Technical Context
The PEMX1 integrates two independent NPN transistors sharing no internal connection-TR1 (pins 1–2–6) and TR2 (pins 3–4–5)-with fully isolated emitter-base-collector paths. Each transistor operates within IEC 60134 absolute maximum ratings, including VCBO = 50 V, VEBO = 5 V, and Tj ≤ 150 °C.
Its SOT666 package enables high-density placement with 0.5 mm pitch and 1.6 mm × 1.2 mm body size. Thermal performance is specified for FR4 PCB mounting with single-sided copper, and reflow soldering is the only recommended assembly method per manufacturer guidelines.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCEO | 40 V per transistor - defines maximum safe collector-emitter blocking voltage under open-base condition |
| IC | 100 mA per transistor - continuous DC collector current rating at Tamb ≤ 25 °C |
| hFE | 120 (min) at VCE = 6 V, IC = 1 mA - ensures predictable DC amplification in bias-sensitive linear or switching designs |
| VCEsat | ≤ 200 mV at IC = 50 mA, IB = 5 mA - enables low-loss saturation in digital logic interface and power control stages |
| Ptot (device) | 300 mW at Tamb ≤ 25 °C - total dissipation limit for both transistors combined on standard FR4 PCB |
| fT | 100 MHz at VCE = 12 V, IC = 2 mA - supports RF-coupled pre-amplifier and high-speed switching up to ~10 MHz practical bandwidth |
| Rth(j-a) | 416 K/W - junction-to-ambient thermal resistance under defined FR4 mounting conditions |
Pinout & Package
SOT666 is a 6-lead ultra-thin surface-mount plastic package measuring 1.6 mm × 1.2 mm × 0.55 mm with 0.5 mm lead pitch. It features flat leads and a pin 1 index marker on the top surface.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Emitter of TR1 | Low-impedance current sink node for first transistor; referenced to common ground or load return path |
| 2 | Base of TR1 | Control input for TR1; requires current-limited drive to achieve target IC based on hFE |
| 3 | Collector of TR2 | High-side output node for second transistor; connects to supply rail or active load |
| 4 | Emitter of TR2 | Current sink node for TR2; electrically isolated from E1 but shares same package thermal mass |
| 5 | Base of TR2 | Independent control input for TR2; decoupled from B1 by physical separation and layout |
| 6 | Collector of TR1 | High-side output for TR1; routed separately from C2 to avoid cross-conduction in dual-switch topologies |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual NPN topology | Two fully isolated transistors enable independent switching or push-pull driver stages without external isolation components |
| Ultra-small footprint | 1.6 mm × 1.2 mm SOT666 occupies <50% area of two SC-75 devices - critical for space-constrained wearables and IoT sensors |
| 300 mW total dissipation | Enables simultaneous operation of both transistors at moderate current levels without derating on standard FR4 |
| Reflow-compatible construction | Qualified for JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 1 - supports automated high-volume assembly without baking |
Applications
| LED Driver Circuit | Level-Shifting Interface |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Driving multiple low-current indicator LEDs from 3.3 V microcontroller GPIOs with current limiting via base resistors. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual NPN switch providing independent on/off control for two LED channels with minimal board area. Use Value: Eliminates need for two separate SOT-23 transistors, reducing PCB real estate by 42% and pick-and-place cycle count by one placement operation. | Use Scenario: Translating 1.8 V logic signals to 5 V TTL-compatible levels in mixed-voltage sensor subsystems. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Active pull-up stage using TR1 as level shifter and TR2 as enable gate for bidirectional control. Use Value: Achieves sub-100 ns propagation delay with guaranteed VCEsat ≤ 200 mV, preserving noise margin across voltage domains. |
| Push-Pull Output Stage | Compact Relay Driver |
Use Scenario: Generating complementary drive signals for small-signal MOSFET gates in half-bridge motor control ICs. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: TR1 and TR2 configured as emitter-follower pair to source/sink gate charge with matched turn-on characteristics. Use Value: Matched hFE and thermal coupling minimize shoot-through risk during transitions; Rth(j-a) allows sustained 50 mA pulsed operation. | Use Scenario: Activating 5 V/10 mA coil relays from battery-powered microcontrollers with limited I/O drive strength. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-gain NPN switch (TR1) driving relay coil while TR2 monitors coil current via sense resistor for fault detection. Use Value: Enables dual-function integration (drive + sensing) in same footprint, reducing BOM count and enabling compact portable equipment designs. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-transistor switching applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| PEMT1 | PNP/PNP complement - opposite polarity, same SOT666 package and pinout mapping | Required where complementary switching (e.g., totem-pole outputs) or high-side sourcing is needed instead of low-side sinking | Select PEMT1 when designing PNP-based logic inverters or high-side load switches requiring matched thermal and layout behavior |
| BC846BDW1T1G | ON Semiconductor dual NPN in SOT-363 - identical pinout but higher hFE (200 min), lower VCEO (65 V), and larger 2.1 mm × 1.25 mm footprint | Preferred in high-gain analog amplifier stages or where higher breakdown voltage is required despite larger PCB area | Choose BC846BDW1T1G when hFE > 200 or VCEO ≥ 65 V is mandatory; accept 31% larger board area and different thermal resistance |
Compared with PEMT1 and BC846BDW1T1G, PEMX1 offers optimal balance of ultra-compact size, verified 40 V breakdown, and consistent 120 hFE - making it preferred for space-constrained digital switching where polarity and footprint are fixed constraints.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous collector current per transistor in PEMX1?
The PEMX1 specifies a maximum continuous collector current (IC) of 100 mA per transistor at ambient temperature ≤ 25 °C, with peak current capability up to 200 mA. This rating assumes operation within the Absolute Maximum Ratings and proper PCB thermal management per the datasheet's FR4 mounting conditions.
Can PEMX1 be used in linear amplification applications?
Yes - PEMX1 supports linear operation with hFE = 120 (min) at VCE = 6 V and IC = 1 mA, and fT = 100 MHz. However, its 300 mW total power dissipation and thermal resistance (416 K/W) limit usable linear output power; it is best suited for low-level pre-amplification or bias-stable switching rather than high-power analog stages.
Is PEMX1 pin-compatible with any other dual-transistor packages?
No - PEMX1 uses the proprietary SOT666 footprint (1.6 mm × 1.2 mm, 0.5 mm pitch) and non-standard pin assignment (E1-B1-C2-E2-B2-C1). It is not pin-compatible with SOT-363, SC-74, or SC-88 packages. Layout redesign is required when substituting from or to those packages.
Does PEMX1 have automotive qualification?
No - according to Nexperia's revision history and legal disclaimers, PEMX1 is explicitly marked as non-automotive qualified. It has not undergone AEC-Q101 stress testing or automotive-specific reliability validation, and its use in safety-critical or vehicle-mounted systems is not supported by the manufacturer.
