Product details
Overview
PEMZ7 from Nexperia is an NPN/PNP general-purpose double transistor in a SOT666 ultra-small surface-mount package, featuring low VCE(sat) (220 mV typ. at IC = 200 mA), high DC current gain (hFE = 200 min per transistor), and dual-transistor integration for complementary switching in compact battery-powered systems.
For engineers reviewing the PEMZ7 datasheet, PEMZ7 pinout, PEMZ7 application, or PEMZ7 equivalent, this device is selected for VCE(sat)-critical low-voltage IC interfaces, lamp driver circuits, and space-constrained portable equipment where thermal efficiency and PCB area reduction are design priorities.
Technical Context
The PEMZ7 integrates one NPN (TR1) and one PNP (TR2) transistor in a single SOT666 package, enabling complementary push-pull or level-shifting configurations without discrete pairing. Each transistor operates independently with separate emitter, base, and collector terminals.
It supports pulsed operation up to 1 A peak collector current (ICM) and maintains stable hFE across −55 °C to 150 °C ambient range. Thermal resistance Rth(j-a) is 416 K/W on FR4 PCB - enabled by flat leads improving heat conduction to the board.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCEO | 12 V max per transistor - defines safe blocking voltage in common-emitter switch applications |
| IC | 500 mA max continuous - supports medium-current load driving (e.g., LED arrays, small relays) |
| hFE | 200 min at VCE = 2 V, IC = 10 mA - ensures reliable saturation with modest base drive |
| VCE(sat) | 220 mV typ. at IC = 200 mA, IB = 10 mA - minimizes conduction loss in battery-sensitive designs |
| fT (TR1/NPN) | 250–420 MHz - enables use in low-frequency signal switching and RF biasing up to ~100 MHz |
| fT (TR2/PNP) | 100–280 MHz - provides matched high-frequency capability for complementary stages |
| Ptot | 300 mW total device dissipation - sets thermal limit for continuous operation on standard FR4 PCB |
Pinout & Package
SOT666 is a 6-lead ultra-thin surface-mount plastic package measuring 1.6 × 1.2 × 0.55 mm, with 0.5 mm lead pitch and straight leads enabling self-alignment during reflow soldering.
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Emitter of TR1 (NPN) | Low-impedance current sink node for NPN transistor; connects to ground or low-side load return |
| 2 | Base of TR1 (NPN) | Control input for NPN switch; requires ~10 mA drive for full saturation at 200 mA collector load |
| 3 | Collector of TR2 (PNP) | Current source node for PNP transistor; connects to positive rail or high-side load supply |
| 4 | Emitter of TR2 (PNP) | High-side current return path; typically tied to VCC or regulated supply rail |
| 5 | Base of TR2 (PNP) | Inverted control input for PNP switch; driven low to enable conduction |
| 6 | Collector of TR1 (NPN) | Output node for NPN switch; drives load between collector and VCC (e.g., lamp anode) |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-compact footprint | 1.6 × 1.2 mm body - reduces PCB area by >40% vs. dual-SOT23 solutions |
| Low VCE(sat) | 220 mV typical - cuts conduction loss by ~50% vs. standard general-purpose transistors at same IC |
| Thermal performance | Rth(j-a) = 416 K/W - improves power handling over comparable SOT363 devices by leveraging flat-lead thermal path |
| Self-aligning leads | Straight 0.5 mm pitch leads - eliminates placement skew and reduces reflow defect rate in automated assembly |
| Low collector capacitance | 4.4 pF (TR1), ≤10 pF (TR2) - preserves signal integrity in high-speed switching and RF bias networks |
Applications
| Lamp Driver Circuit | Low-Voltage Logic Interface |
|---|---|

Use Scenario: Driving white LED strings in portable audio-video equipment powered by 3.3 V or lower Li-ion batteries. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual-transistor acts as complementary current switch - NPN sinks LED cathode current while PNP sources anode current in synchronized on/off control. Use Value: Low VCE(sat) extends battery runtime by minimizing voltage drop across switching elements under 200–500 mA loads. |
Use Scenario: Level shifting between 1.8 V microcontroller GPIOs and 3.3 V peripheral logic inputs in telecom modules. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: NPN and PNP transistors form a simple bipolar translator stage, converting active-high/low signals bidirectionally without external bias resistors. Use Value: High hFE and low Cc ensure clean edge transitions up to 10 MHz, avoiding timing skew in synchronous data paths. |
| Battery-Powered Sensor Node | Compact Load Switch Module |
|
Use Scenario: Power gating for BLE radio and environmental sensors in coin-cell–powered IoT endpoints. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: PNP transistor controls VCC supply to sensor subsystem; NPN handles reset or enable signaling with fast turn-on/turn-off. Use Value: 300 mW total dissipation and −65 °C to 150 °C operating range support reliable operation across wide ambient conditions in unregulated deployments. |
Use Scenario: Replacing discrete MOSFET + driver combos in space-limited industrial handhelds requiring 500 mA load switching. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual-transistor replaces two SOT23 devices in a single footprint, simplifying layout and reducing BOM count. Use Value: 1.6 × 1.2 mm SOT666 package saves >60% board area versus dual-SOT23, accelerating time-to-market for miniaturized designs. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar complementary bipolar transistor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MBT3904DW1T1G | Two NPN transistors only; no PNP complement; higher VCE(sat) (300 mV typ.) | Requires external PNP for complementary operation; unsuitable for true push-pull without added components | Select when only NPN-NPN pairing is needed and board space allows separate PNP placement |
| DMMT3904-7-F | Single NPN in SOT23; no integrated PNP; hFE = 100–300 (wider spread); larger 2.9 × 1.3 mm footprint | Cannot replace PEMZ7's dual-polarity function in one package; increases routing complexity and component count | Choose only if legacy SOT23 compatibility or higher individual hFE tolerance is required |
Compared with MBT3904DW1T1G and DMMT3904-7-F, PEMZ7 uniquely delivers matched NPN+PNP characteristics in a sub-2 mm² footprint with lower VCE(sat), enabling true complementary switching without layout compromise or performance trade-offs.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous collector current rating per transistor in the PEMZ7?
The PEMZ7 specifies a maximum continuous collector current (IC) of 500 mA per transistor under normal operating conditions. This rating applies individually to both the NPN (TR1) and PNP (TR2) elements, and must be derated above Tamb = 25 °C per the thermal resistance curve in the datasheet.
Can the PEMZ7 be used in linear amplifier configurations?
No - the PEMZ7 is characterized and qualified for switching applications only. Its low VCE(sat), high fT, and optimized hFE profile are specified under pulsed switching conditions (tp ≤ 300 µs, δ ≤ 0.02). Linear operation is not supported by datasheet parameters or reliability testing.
Is the SOT666 package compatible with standard reflow soldering profiles?
Yes - the PEMZ7's SOT666 package is qualified for reflow soldering only, using JEDEC J-STD-020-compliant profiles. The datasheet explicitly prohibits wave or hand-soldering due to thermal stress risks; recommended footprint dimensions and solder paste stencil openings are provided in Figure 12.
How does the PEMZ7's thermal performance compare to dual-SOT23 alternatives?
With Rth(j-a) = 416 K/W on FR4, the PEMZ7 achieves ~15% better thermal resistance than typical dual-SOT23 packages (≈490 K/W), due to its flat leads enhancing copper pad contact and heat spreading. This allows 10–15% higher continuous power handling at the same ambient temperature.
