Product details
Overview
PIMN32PAS-QX from Nexperia is an AEC-Q101-qualified NPN/NPN resistor-equipped double transistor (RET) in a DFN2020D-6 (SOT1118D) leadless package with side-wettable flanks, rated for 50 V VCEO, 500 mA output current per transistor, and built-in bias resistors R1 = 2.2 kΩ and R2 = 10 kΩ. It serves as a compact, automotive-grade switching element for digital control of IC inputs and low-power loads.
For engineers reviewing the PIMN32PAS-QX datasheet, PIMN32PAS-QX pinout, PIMN32PAS-QX application, or PIMN32PAS-QX equivalent, this device offers verified dual-transistor integration with known resistor ratios, thermal derating curves for FR4 PCB mounting, and direct replacement capability for BC817-series discrete pairs in space-constrained digital interface designs.
Technical Context
This dual NPN RET integrates two matched transistors with monolithically embedded base bias networks-R1 (2.2 kΩ) connects each input to its respective base, while R2 (10 kΩ) provides emitter-to-base feedback for predictable turn-on/off thresholds. The device operates within −55 °C to +150 °C ambient range and supports up to 500 mA continuous collector current per channel under defined PCB thermal conditions.
Its DFN2020D-6 package features side-wettable flanks for automated optical solder-joint inspection and delivers thermal resistance as low as 125 K/W (per device, 4-layer FR4 with 1 cm² collector pad), enabling stable operation in automotive body electronics and infotainment I/O interfaces without external heatsinking.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCEO | 50 V - Maximum safe collector-emitter voltage before breakdown; enables use in 24 V automotive supply rails with margin. |
| IO | 500 mA - Continuous output current per transistor; supports driving LEDs, relays, or logic-level MOSFET gates directly. |
| R1 | 2.2 kΩ ±30% - Integrated input bias resistor; eliminates need for external pull-up/pull-down components in digital switch circuits. |
| R2/R1 ratio | 4.55 (typ.) - Fixed feedback ratio ensuring consistent VI(on)/VI(off) thresholds across temperature and process variation. |
| Ptot (per device) | 1 W - Max power dissipation on 4-layer FR4 with 1 cm² collector pad; defines thermal design envelope for sustained switching. |
| hFE | 70 (min) at IC = 50 mA - DC current gain sufficient for saturated switching with low base drive current (e.g., 2.5 mA IB for 50 mA IC). |
| VCE(sat) | 100 mV (max) at IC = 50 mA, IB = 2.5 mA - Low saturation voltage minimizes conduction loss and self-heating during active state. |
Pinout & Package
Package: DFN2020D-6 (SOT1118D), 2.0 mm × 2.0 mm × 0.65 mm body, leadless, side-wettable flanks, 0.65 mm pitch.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | GND1 | Emitter connection for transistor TR1; common reference node for first channel. |
| 2 | I1 | Base input for TR1; driven through internal R1 resistor for simplified logic-level interfacing. |
| 3 | O2 | Collector output for TR2; primary high-side switching node for second channel. |
| 4 | GND2 | Emitter connection for transistor TR2; independent return path enabling dual isolated switching functions. |
| 5 | I2 | Base input for TR2; independently controllable via dedicated R1 network for asynchronous operation. |
| 6 | O1 | Collector output for TR1; complements O2 to form fully independent dual-output configuration. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualification | Qualified for automotive applications including body control modules and lighting drivers; validated for temperature cycling, humidity, and mechanical shock. |
| Integrated R1/R2 network | Eliminates four external resistors per pair, reducing BOM count, PCB area, and placement cost versus discrete BC817 implementations. |
| Side-wettable flanks (SWF) | Enables automated AOI inspection of solder joints without X-ray; improves manufacturing yield and field reliability in SMT lines. |
| Dual independent channels | Separate GND1/GND2 and O1/O2 terminals allow galvanically isolated switching paths-critical for noise-sensitive sensor interface or dual-load control. |
| Thermal performance | 125 K/W Rth(j-a) (per device, 4-layer FR4 + 1 cm² pad) supports >1 W dissipation without forced cooling in compact ECUs. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-NPN switching applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| PIMC32PAS-Q | Complementary NPN/PNP RET with identical R1/R2 values and package; VCEO = 50 V, IO = 500 mA. | Required where one channel must sink (NPN) and the other source (PNP) current-e.g., push-pull driver stages. | Select when bidirectional current control or level inversion is needed; not interchangeable with PIMN32PAS-Q due to polarity mismatch. |
| BC846BDW1T1G | Discrete dual NPN in SC-70-6; no integrated resistors; VCEO = 65 V, IC = 100 mA max per transistor. | Suitable only for lower-current (<100 mA), non-automotive applications where external biasing is acceptable. | Choose only if higher VCEO margin is critical and board space allows added resistors; lacks AEC-Q101 rating and SWF inspection capability. |
Compared with PIMC32PAS-Q, this part provides same-package NPN/NPN functionality rather than complementary polarity; compared with BC846BDW1T1G, it trades off higher voltage rating for integrated biasing, automotive qualification, and 5× higher current capacity-making it superior for production automotive and industrial digital switching.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable junction temperature for PIMN32PAS-QX?
The absolute maximum junction temperature (Tj) is 150 °C, as specified in the limiting values table. Operation above this threshold risks permanent parametric shift or failure. Derating curves in Figure 1 show that full 1 W dissipation is only permissible below ~45 °C ambient on a 4-layer FR4 board with 1 cm² collector pad.
Can PIMN32PAS-QX be used in linear amplifier mode?
No-it is optimized for saturated switching, not linear amplification. Its hFE is specified only at VCE = 5 V and IC = 50 mA, and VCE(sat) is guaranteed only under switching conditions. The integrated R1/R2 network prevents stable DC biasing required for analog gain stages.
How does the R2/R1 ratio affect switching behavior?
The R2/R1 ratio of 4.55 (typ.) sets the effective base-emitter voltage divider, determining VI(on) ≈ 0.95 V and VI(off) ≈ 0.65 V at 25 °C. This ensures clean digital thresholds across temperature, minimizing shoot-through risk in cascaded logic interfaces and enabling reliable operation down to −40 °C.
Is reflow profile compatibility documented for the DFN2020D-6 package?
Yes-Figure 15 provides the recommended reflow soldering footprint, and Nexperia's application note AN10350 specifies JEDEC J-STD-020-compliant profiles for DFN2020D-6. Peak temperature must not exceed 260 °C, with time above 217 °C limited to 60–150 seconds to avoid voiding or delamination.
