Product details
Overview
PQMH2 from Nexperia is a dual NPN resistor-equipped transistor (RET) in a DFN1010B-6 (SOT1216) package, integrating two matched 47 kΩ bias resistors (R1 = R2 = 47 kΩ) per transistor pair. It delivers 100 mA output current per channel, supports 50 V VCEO, and is AEC-Q101 qualified for automotive use in space-constrained digital control circuits.
For engineers reviewing the PQMH2 datasheet, PQMH2 pinout, PQMH2 application, or PQMH2 equivalent, this device serves as a compact, bias-resistor-integrated replacement for discrete NPN pairs in low-current peripheral drivers, IC input control, and mobile logic interface stages where board height ≤ 0.37 mm and component count reduction are critical.
Technical Context
The PQMH2 integrates two independent NPN transistors with built-in base bias networks-each featuring R1 (input resistor) and R2 (feedback resistor) configured to simplify digital switching. Its dual-channel layout enables push-pull or parallel drive configurations without external bias components.
Designed for operation across −55 °C to +150 °C ambient, it exhibits 150 mV VCEsat at IC = 10 mA / IB = 0.5 mA and maintains hFE ≥ 80 at VCE = 5 V / IC = 5 mA, supporting reliable saturation in 3.3 V and 5 V logic-controlled loads.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCEO | 50 V - Enables safe operation with 24 V supply rails and transient margin in automotive body electronics. |
| IO | 100 mA per transistor - Sufficient to directly drive LEDs, small relays, or logic inputs without external amplification. |
| R1 / R2 | 47 kΩ each - Provides fixed base bias for predictable turn-on at standard CMOS/TTL logic levels (VI(on) = 1.6–3 V). |
| Package | DFN1010B-6 (SOT1216), 1.1 × 1.0 × 0.37 mm - Ultra-thin footprint ideal for wearable and portable PCBs with strict Z-height limits. |
| AEC-Q101 | Qualified - Meets stress test requirements for automotive discrete semiconductors, supporting under-hood and infotainment applications. |
| Ptot (per device) | 350 mW at Tamb ≤ 25 °C - Supports dual-channel switching at full rated current on standard FR4 PCBs. |
Pinout & Package
DFN1010B-6 (SOT1216) is a leadless, thermally enhanced ultra-thin plastic package with 0.35 mm pitch and exposed thermal pad (not electrically connected). Dimensions: 1.1 mm × 1.0 mm × 0.37 mm height.
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | GND1 | Emiter connection for transistor TR1 - referenced to system ground for single-supply logic interfacing. |
| 2 | I1 | Base input for TR1 - accepts TTL/CMOS logic signals; internal R1 pulls up to enable clean switching. |
| 3 | O2 | Collector output for TR2 - provides active-low switching node when TR2 is driven via I2. |
| 4 | GND2 | Emiter connection for transistor TR2 - independent ground reference allows dual-channel isolation. |
| 5 | I2 | Base input for TR2 - functionally identical to I1; enables independent control of second NPN stage. |
| 6 | O1 | Collector output for TR1 - primary high-side switching node; used with O2 for complementary outputs. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated bias network | Matched R1 = R2 = 47 kΩ per channel eliminates four external resistors and reduces BOM count by 67% vs. discrete NPN pairs. |
| Ultra-low profile | 0.37 mm max height enables use in slim mobile devices and stacked PCB assemblies where vertical clearance is < 0.4 mm. |
| Dual NPN topology | Independent I1/O1 and I2/O2 channels support separate signal routing, enabling dual-load control or differential logic interfaces. |
| AEC-Q101 qualification | Validated for automotive temperature range (−55 °C to +150 °C) and mechanical stress, supporting ASIL-B–compatible subsystems. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| PQMD12 | NPN/PNP complement with identical R1/R2 values and DFN1010B-6 package; VCEO = 50 V, IO = 100 mA. | Required where complementary output polarity (e.g., push-pull drivers) is needed instead of dual NPN sourcing. | Select PQMD12 when driving loads requiring both high- and low-side switching from a single package. |
| NSVD2101PT3G | Single NPN RET in SOT-363 (SC-70-6); R1 = 22 kΩ, R2 = 47 kΩ; VCEO = 50 V, IO = 100 mA. | Offers only one channel per package; requires two units for dual functionality, increasing footprint and assembly cost. | Choose only if legacy SOT-363 footprint compatibility is mandatory and dual-channel integration is not required. |
Compared with PQMD12, PQMH2 provides matched NPN/NPN behavior for parallel or cascaded logic stages, while NSVD2101PT3G lacks dual-channel integration-increasing PCB area by 2.1 mm² and raising total BOM cost by $0.032 in dual-channel implementations.

FAQ
What is the thermal resistance (Rth(j-a)) of PQMH2 when mounted on a standard FR4 PCB?
The per-device thermal resistance from junction to ambient is 357 K/W under standard conditions: FR4 PCB, single-sided copper, tin-plated, and standard footprint. This value assumes free-air convection and defines the maximum power dissipation envelope before derating begins above 25 °C ambient.
Can PQMH2 be used in linear amplifier configurations?
No-PQMH2 is optimized for digital switching operation, not analog amplification. Its built-in bias resistors fix the base operating point, and its hFE variation (80–200) and lack of guaranteed linearity make it unsuitable for linear gain stages. Use discrete transistors like BC847 for amplifier designs.
Is the exposed pad on the DFN1010B-6 package electrically connected?
No-the thermal pad on the DFN1010B-6 package is non-functional and must be left floating or grounded solely for mechanical stability and heat conduction. Electrical connection to the pad is not supported and may cause shorting due to internal die construction.
What is the VI(off) specification and how does it ensure noise immunity?
VI(off) is specified as 0.8 V (typical) at VCE = 5 V and IC = 100 µA, meaning the transistor remains reliably off for input voltages below this threshold. This 0.8 V margin above ground rejects common PCB noise spikes ≤ 700 mV, preventing false triggering in noisy automotive or industrial environments.
