DRC5114W0L

Overview

The DRC5114W0L is an NPN digital transistor manufactured by Panasonic Electronic Components. It features a built-in bias resistor and is housed in a compact SSSMini3-F2-B surface-mount package with dimensions of 1.2mm x 1.2mm. The device supports a maximum collector-emitter voltage (VCEO) of 50V and a continuous collector current (IC) of 100mA. Key electrical characteristics include a minimum DC current gain (hFE) of 160 and a typical input resistance of 47kΩ. It operates within a temperature range up to +150°C.

Feature Summary

• Integrates a single NPN transistor with a built-in bias resistor for simplified circuit design.
• Utilizes a compact 1.2mm x 1.2mm SSSMini3-F2-B package for space-constrained applications.
• Provides high current gain and low input current requirements for efficient switching.

Applications

• General-purpose signal switching in consumer electronics
• Driver circuits for small loads in automotive systems
• Logic level translation in embedded microcontroller interfaces

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'W0L' against official Panasonic documentation to confirm packaging details and compliance status. Ensure the component meets RoHS directives if required for your application. Cross-reference the part number with authorized distributors to confirm availability, as electronic components may be subject to supply chain fluctuations or discontinuation notices.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a compact NPN digital transistor with integrated biasing is required. The 47kΩ input resistor simplifies base drive calculations. Consider the 50V VCEO rating for low-voltage logic applications. The 1.2mm square package is suitable for high-density PCB layouts where standard SOT-23 packages are too large.

Part Context

This part belongs to Panasonic's series of digital transistors, which combine bipolar junction transistors with internal resistors. These devices replace discrete transistor-resistor networks, reducing board space and assembly costs. The DRC5114W0L specifically targets applications requiring reliable switching in minimal footprints.

Replacement Considerations

Consult Panasonic's official cross-reference guides for verified substitutes. Generic equivalents may differ in hFE ranges or thermal characteristics. Verify pinout compatibility and package dimensions before substitution.
