Product details
Overview
PEMZ7 from Nexperia is an NPN/PNP general-purpose double transistor in a SOT666 ultra-small flat-lead package, rated for 500 mA collector current per transistor, 12 V VCEO, and 220 mV VCEsat (IC = 200 mA, IB = 10 mA), used in battery-powered lamp drivers and low-voltage IC interface circuits.
For engineers reviewing the PEMZ7 datasheet, PEMZ7 pinout, PEMZ7 application, or PEMZ7 equivalent, this dual-transistor device supports compact high-efficiency switching in space-constrained portable electronics where low saturation voltage and thermal performance are critical selection criteria.
Technical Context
The PEMZ7 integrates one NPN and one PNP transistor in a single SOT666 package with independent emitter, base, and collector terminals for each device. Its complementary topology enables push-pull or level-shifting configurations without discrete pairing.
It delivers 250–420 MHz fT for the NPN transistor and 100–280 MHz for the PNP transistor at specified bias conditions, with low collector capacitance (4.4–6 pF for NPN, ≤10 pF for PNP) supporting high-speed switching up to ~100 MHz.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCEO | 12 V per transistor - defines maximum safe collector-emitter blocking voltage in open-base configuration |
| IC | 500 mA per transistor - continuous DC collector current rating under Tamb ≤ 25 °C |
| VCEsat | 220 mV at IC = 200 mA, IB = 10 mA - enables low conduction loss in battery-switching applications |
| hFE | 200 min at VCE = 2 V, IC = 10 mA - ensures reliable DC gain for linear and switching bias design |
| fT (NPN) | 250–420 MHz - supports RF-coupled or fast digital switching up to ~100 MHz |
| Ptot | 300 mW per device - total power dissipation limit on FR4 PCB with standard footprint |
| Rth(j-a) | 416 K/W - junction-to-ambient thermal resistance in free air, guiding heatsinking requirements |
Pinout & Package
SOT666 is a 6-pin ultra-thin surface-mount plastic package measuring 1.6 × 1.2 × 0.55 mm, featuring straight leads for self-alignment during reflow soldering and optimized thermal conduction via flat lead geometry.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Emitter of TR1 (NPN) | Low-impedance current sink node for NPN transistor; referenced to ground in common-emitter switch |
| 2 | Base of TR1 (NPN) | Control input for NPN transistor; requires ~0.7 V forward bias to turn on |
| 3 | Collector of TR2 (PNP) | Current source node for PNP transistor; connects to positive rail in high-side switching |
| 4 | Emitter of TR2 (PNP) | High-side reference terminal for PNP; typically tied to VCC in emitter-follower or switch configurations |
| 5 | Base of TR2 (PNP) | Inverted control input for PNP transistor; driven low relative to emitter to enable conduction |
| 6 | Collector of TR1 (NPN) | Current sink node for NPN transistor; connects to load and ground return path |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-compact SOT666 footprint | 1.6 × 1.2 mm area - reduces PCB real estate by >40% vs. dual-SOT363 solutions |
| Low VCEsat (220 mV) | Minimizes power loss in battery-switching paths, extending runtime in 1.8–3.3 V systems |
| Self-aligning straight leads | Eliminates lateral placement drift during reflow, improving first-pass yield in fine-pitch assembly |
| Flat-lead thermal enhancement | Improves heat transfer to PCB copper, enabling 300 mW operation without thermal derating on standard FR4 |
| Complementary NPN+PNP pairing | Enables matched push-pull, H-bridge half-bridge, or level-shift topologies without inter-device timing skew |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar complementary transistor pair applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MBT3904/3906 | Discrete SOT-23 NPN/PNP pair; no shared thermal path; higher VCEsat (300 mV typical) | Requires two placements; less suitable for thermally coupled switching | Select when board layout allows separate devices and thermal isolation is preferred |
| DMMT3904-7-F | Matched dual NPN only; no PNP element; 200 mW Ptot; same SOT-666 footprint | Cannot replace complementary function; limited to dual-NPN topologies | Select only for NPN-only applications requiring identical package and pinout |
Compared with MBT3904/3906 and DMMT3904-7-F, the PEMZ7 uniquely integrates thermally coupled NPN+PNP transistors in one ultra-compact SOT666 package, enabling true complementary switching with lower conduction loss, reduced PCB area, and improved thermal tracking-critical for battery-sensitive and space-constrained designs.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous collector current rating for each transistor in the PEMZ7?
The PEMZ7 specifies 500 mA maximum continuous collector current (IC) per transistor under ambient temperature ≤25 °C with proper PCB thermal relief. This rating assumes operation within absolute maximum limits and accounts for the 300 mW total device power dissipation limit on standard FR4.
Can the PEMZ7 be used in high-frequency switching applications above 50 MHz?
Yes-the NPN transistor achieves 250–420 MHz transition frequency (fT) and the PNP reaches 100–280 MHz under defined bias conditions, supporting reliable switching up to ~100 MHz. Designers must maintain low-inductance layout and respect specified Cc values (4.4–6 pF for NPN, ≤10 pF for PNP) to preserve bandwidth.
How does the SOT666 package improve manufacturability compared to traditional dual-transistor layouts?
The SOT666's straight leads provide self-alignment during reflow soldering, reducing placement tolerance sensitivity and improving first-pass yield. Its 1.6 × 1.2 mm footprint cuts PCB area by over 40% versus two discrete SOT-23 devices, and flat leads enhance thermal coupling to the PCB for better power handling without added thermal vias.
Is the PEMZ7 qualified for automotive applications?
No-the PEMZ7 is explicitly designated as non-automotive qualified in its revision history and legal disclaimers. It has not undergone AEC-Q101 stress testing or automotive-grade qualification. For automotive use, designers must select Nexperia's formally qualified alternatives such as the PBSS4041P or similar AEC-Q101-compliant dual transistors.
