Product details
Overview
PQMH10 from Nexperia is a dual NPN resistor-equipped transistor (RET) in a DFN1010B-6 (SOT1216) package, integrating two matched NPN transistors with built-in bias resistors R1 = 2.2 kΩ and R2 = 47 kΩ. It delivers 100 mA per transistor output current, supports 50 V collector-emitter voltage, and is AEC-Q101 qualified for automotive use - deployed in low-current peripheral drivers and IC input control circuits.
For engineers reviewing the PQMH10 datasheet, PQMH10 pinout, PQMH10 application, or PQMH10 equivalent, this device is selected for space-constrained digital switching where reduced component count, simplified base drive, and ultra-thin 0.37 mm profile are critical - especially in mobile and automotive body-control modules.
Technical Context
The PQMH10 integrates two independent NPN transistors on a single die, each with dedicated input (base), output (collector), and ground (emitter) terminals. Bias network topology includes R1 (input resistor) and R2 (feedback resistor), yielding a fixed R2/R1 ratio of 21 (typical), enabling predictable saturation behavior without external bias components.
Its DFN1010B-6 package features thermal-enhanced construction with 357 K/W junction-to-ambient resistance (per device) on FR4 PCB, supporting continuous operation up to 150 °C junction temperature. The device operates within −55 °C to +150 °C ambient range and meets AEC-Q101 stress test requirements for automotive discrete semiconductors.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCEO | 50 V maximum - ensures safe operation in 24 V automotive supply rails with margin against transients. |
| IO | 100 mA per transistor - sufficient to drive LED indicators, small relays, or logic-level inputs directly. |
| R1 | 2.2 kΩ ±30% - sets base current magnitude for predictable turn-on at standard logic-high voltages (e.g., 3.3 V or 5 V). |
| R2/R1 | 21 (typical), 17–26 range - defines feedback ratio that stabilizes operating point and improves noise immunity. |
| Ptot (per device) | 350 mW at Tamb ≤ 25 °C - enables compact layout without forced cooling in low-duty-cycle switching. |
| hFE | ≥100 at IC = 10 mA, VCE = 5 V - guarantees robust current gain across industrial temperature range (−40 °C to +125 °C). |
| VCE(sat) | ≤100 mV at IC = 5 mA, IB = 0.25 mA - minimizes conduction loss and self-heating in battery-powered systems. |
Pinout & Package
DFN1010B-6 (SOT1216) is a leadless, ultra-thin surface-mount package measuring 1.1 mm × 1.0 mm × 0.37 mm with 0.35 mm pitch and exposed thermal pad (not electrically connected). Its low profile and thermal enhancement support high-density routing and improved power dissipation on standard FR4 PCBs.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | GND1 | Emitter connection for transistor TR1 - reference node for first switch channel. |
| 2 | I1 | Base input for TR1 - driven by logic signal through internal R1 resistor. |
| 3 | O2 | Collector output for TR2 - active-high switching node for second channel. |
| 4 | GND2 | Emitter connection for transistor TR2 - independent reference for second switch channel. |
| 5 | I2 | Base input for TR2 - logic-driven input with identical R1/R2 bias network as I1. |
| 6 | O1 | Collector output for TR1 - primary switching output, electrically isolated from O2. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual NPN RET integration | Two independent, resistor-biased NPN transistors in one 1.1 mm × 1.0 mm footprint - eliminates four external resistors and reduces PCB area by >60% vs discrete solutions. |
| AEC-Q101 qualification | Qualified per Automotive Electronics Council stress test standard - validated for under-hood and body-control applications requiring long-term reliability at 150 °C junction temperature. |
| Ultra-low package height | 0.37 mm max - enables use in ultra-thin mobile devices and stacked PCB assemblies where Z-axis clearance is constrained. |
| Thermal performance | 357 K/W Rth(j-a) (per device on FR4) - supports higher sustained current than comparable SOT-363 packages without heatsinking. |
| Input voltage thresholds | VI(on) = 0.75 V (min), VI(off) = 0.6 V (typ) - ensures clean logic-level compatibility with 1.8 V, 3.3 V, and 5 V microcontrollers without level-shifting. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual NPN resistor-equipped transistor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| PQMD10 | NPN/PNP complement with identical R1/R2 values and DFN1010B-6 package - offers complementary switching for push-pull or H-bridge configurations. | Required where bidirectional current flow or level inversion is needed (e.g., half-bridge motor control). | Select when circuit requires both sourcing and sinking capability; not interchangeable for same-polarity switching. |
| EMH9 | Single-channel NPN RET in SOT-363 (3.0 mm × 1.7 mm); R1 = 4.7 kΩ, R2 = 10 kΩ; lower current rating (50 mA). | Suitable only for lower-power logic buffering where board space is less constrained. | Choose only if dual-channel functionality is unnecessary and legacy SOT-363 footprint must be retained. |
Compared with PQMD10, PQMH10 enables true dual-NPN parallel drive without polarity inversion; versus EMH9, it doubles channel count and increases output current by 100% while shrinking footprint area by 85%, making it optimal for next-generation space- and power-sensitive designs.

FAQ
Is PQMH10 pin-compatible with other DFN1010B-6 devices?
No - PQMH10 has a unique 6-pin assignment (GND1/I1/O2/GND2/I2/O1) defined in its datasheet. While the DFN1010B-6 outline is standardized, pin functions vary across manufacturers and part numbers; direct substitution requires verification of both pin mapping and electrical characteristics.
What is the maximum allowable peak current for PQMH10?
The absolute maximum peak collector current (ICM) is 100 mA per transistor, as specified in Table 5. Exceeding this value, even briefly, risks permanent damage due to localized thermal runaway or bond-wire fusing - pulse operation must remain within this limit regardless of duty cycle.
Can PQMH10 be used in linear amplifier mode?
No - PQMH10 is designed and characterized exclusively for digital switching operation. Its built-in resistor network fixes bias conditions unsuitable for linear gain control, and parameters like hFE and VCE(sat) are specified only under saturated switching conditions, not analog amplification.
Does PQMH10 require external decoupling capacitors?
Not for basic switching operation - the integrated bias resistors provide inherent noise filtering. However, for high-speed switching (>1 MHz) or noisy supply environments, a 100 nF ceramic capacitor placed near the GND1/GND2 pins improves stability by reducing ground bounce and transient coupling between channels.
