DRC5144V0L

Overview

The DRC5144V0L is a single NPN digital transistor manufactured by Panasonic Industry. It integrates a built-in bias resistor with a typical resistance value of 47 kOhms, eliminating the need for external components in switching applications. The device is housed in an SMini3-F2-B package, measuring 2.0 x 2.1 mm. Key electrical ratings include a maximum collector-emitter voltage (VCEO) of -50 V and a continuous collector current of -100 mA. It features a minimum DC current gain (hFE) of 160 and supports surface mount installation. The component operates within a temperature range up to +150 C and complies with RoHS standards.

Feature Summary

• Integrates a built-in bias resistor to simplify circuit design
• Compact SMD package suitable for space-constrained layouts
• High current gain for efficient signal switching

Applications

• General-purpose switching circuits
• Driver circuits for small loads
• Logic level translation interfaces

Procurement Notes

Verify the exact suffix configuration against official Panasonic documentation before procurement, as minor variations may exist. Confirm availability status directly with authorized distributors or the manufacturer, as supply conditions can change. Ensure the ordering part number matches the required package and electrical specifications precisely to avoid integration errors.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a compact NPN digital transistor with a 47 kOhm base resistor is required. Verify that the 50 V voltage rating and 100 mA current capacity meet the specific load requirements. Consider the SMini3-F2-B footprint constraints during PCB layout planning. Compare against similar Panasonic models like the DRA series if PNP polarity is needed instead.

Part Context

This component belongs to Panasonic's line of pre-biased bipolar transistors designed for replacing multiple discrete components. These devices are engineered to reduce board space and assembly costs by combining a transistor and resistor into a single package. The DRC5144V0L specifically serves as an NPN variant within this family, offering standardized performance for common switching tasks.

Replacement Considerations

Publicly confirmed substitute part numbers are not available in the provided source material. Consult Panasonic's official cross-reference guides or distributor databases for verified equivalents. Ensure any replacement maintains the same NPN polarity, 47 kOhm resistor value, and compatible package dimensions.
