Product details
Overview
PRMH13Z from Nexperia is a dual NPN resistor-equipped transistor (RET) in a DFN1412-6 (SOT1268) package, rated for 50 V VCEO, 100 mA output current per transistor, and AEC-Q101 qualified for automotive use. It integrates two matched NPN transistors with built-in bias resistors (R1 = 4.7 kΩ typ, R2/R1 = 10), enabling direct digital logic interfacing without external base resistors - used in IC input control and low-power load switching.
For engineers reviewing the PRMH13Z datasheet, PRMH13Z pinout, PRMH13Z application, or PRMH13Z equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, validated dual-transistor pin mapping, automotive-grade thermal derating data, and direct alternatives to BC847/BC857-based discrete implementations.
Technical Context
The PRMH13Z integrates two independent NPN transistors sharing no internal connection between collector/emitter paths, each with dedicated base bias networks (R1 + R2). Its dual-channel architecture supports parallel or cascaded switching configurations while maintaining isolation between channels.
Each transistor exhibits hFE ≥ 100 at IC = 10 mA, VCE = 5 V, and achieves VCE(sat) ≤ 100 mV at IC = 5 mA / IB = 0.25 mA - enabling efficient low-voltage logic-level switching in space-constrained PCB layouts.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCEO | 50 V - supports 3.3 V and 5 V logic-controlled loads up to industrial supply rails |
| IO | 100 mA per transistor - drives LEDs, small relays, or logic inputs without external current amplification |
| hFE | ≥100 at 10 mA - ensures reliable saturation with standard microcontroller GPIO drive capability |
| R1 | 4.7 kΩ typical - sets base current for ~1 mA at 5 V input, eliminating discrete resistor placement |
| R2/R1 | 10 - provides stable bias ratio for consistent turn-on threshold across temperature |
| VCE(sat) | ≤100 mV at IC=5 mA - minimizes power loss and self-heating in always-on or PWM-driven applications |
| Ptot (per device) | 480 mW at Tamb ≤25 °C - enables dual-transistor operation within thermal limits on FR4 PCBs |
Pinout & Package
DFN1412-6 (SOT1268) is a leadless, thermally enhanced ultra-thin package measuring 1.4 mm × 1.2 mm × 0.47 mm, with 6 terminals and 0.5 mm max height - optimized for high-density automotive and portable electronics layouts.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | GND1 | Emiter of TR1 - common reference node for first transistor channel |
| 2 | I1 | Base input of TR1 - accepts TTL/CMOS logic signals directly |
| 3 | O2 | Collector of TR2 - active-high switched output for second channel |
| 4 | GND2 | Emiter of TR2 - isolated ground return for second transistor channel |
| 5 | I2 | Base input of TR2 - independently controllable logic input |
| 6 | O1 | Collector of TR1 - active-high switched output for first channel |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual NPN RET architecture | Two electrically isolated NPN transistors with integrated bias networks - reduces component count by up to 4 resistors vs. discrete BC847 pairs |
| AEC-Q101 qualification | Validated for automotive underhood and infotainment environments - junction temperature range −40 °C to 150 °C |
| Ultra-low profile | 0.47 mm body height - fits beneath stacked connectors and in thin-profile modules |
| Thermal enhancement | 261 K/W Rth(j-a) (per device) on FR4 - supports sustained 100 mA operation without heatsinking |
Applications
| Automotive Body Control Module | Industrial PLC Input Stage |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Driving LED status indicators and small solenoid valves in door module PCBs. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual-channel level-shifting switch translating 3.3 V MCU outputs to 12 V loads.

| Consumer Appliance UI Panel | Medical Diagnostic Equipment Interface |
Use Scenario: Controlling backlight dimming and tactile feedback buzzers in smart appliance touch panels. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-side switching element for PWM-driven loads with fast turn-on (<100 ns propagation delay implied by fT = 230 MHz). Use Value: VCE(sat) ≤100 mV minimizes heat generation in sealed enclosures with limited airflow. | Use Scenario: Enabling/disabling analog sensor signal paths in portable diagnostic devices. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Precision enable gate for op-amp or ADC power domains using logic-controlled biasing.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| PRMD13 | NPN/PNP complement - includes one NPN and one PNP transistor instead of dual NPN | Suitable for push-pull or complementary switching topologies requiring bidirectional current flow | Select when driving loads requiring both sourcing and sinking capability from a single package |
| BC847BPDW1T1G | Discrete dual NPN in SOT-363 - no built-in resistors; requires external base biasing | Offers higher hFE (200–450) but increases BOM count and layout complexity | Prefer when precise gain control or non-standard biasing is required beyond fixed R1/R2 ratios |
Compared with PRMD13 and BC847BPDW1T1G, the PRMH13Z uniquely delivers dual NPN functionality with factory-matched bias networks, reducing design validation effort for automotive-compliant digital interface circuits while maintaining footprint compatibility with legacy SOT-363 layouts.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous collector current per transistor in the PRMH13Z?
The PRMH13Z supports 100 mA continuous output current per transistor under ambient temperature ≤25 °C with proper PCB thermal relief. Derating applies above 25 °C per the 261 K/W Rth(j-a) curve - at 85 °C ambient, max usable current drops to approximately 65 mA per channel to maintain Tj ≤150 °C.
Can the PRMH13Z be used in place of a BC847 pair in existing designs?
Yes, the PRMH13Z serves as a drop-in replacement for two BC847 transistors plus four external base resistors in digital switching applications. Its pinout differs (DFN1412-6 vs. SOT-363), so PCB layout revision is required - but netlist connectivity remains functionally identical for common-emitter configurations with logic-level inputs.
Is the PRMH13Z suitable for analog amplifier applications?
No - the PRMH13Z is optimized for digital switching, not linear amplification. Its built-in bias resistors fix the DC operating point, and its hFE variation (100 min, no max specified) and lack of AC small-signal parameters like noise figure or linearity specs make it unsuitable for analog gain stages or audio applications.
Does the PRMH13Z require special soldering profiles due to its DFN package?
Yes - the DFN1412-6 (SOT1268) package requires reflow profiling aligned with IPC-J-STD-020. Peak temperature must not exceed 260 °C, and time above 217 °C should be 60–150 seconds. The exposed thermal pad (pin 1–4 GND connections) must be fully soldered to a thermal copper pour for optimal Rth(j-a) performance and mechanical reliability.
