DRC9115E0L

Overview

The DRC9115E0L is a digital transistor manufactured by Panasonic Electronic Components, featuring an integrated NPN bipolar junction transistor with built-in bias resistors. It is housed in the SSMini3-F3-B surface-mount package, measuring 1.6x1.6mm. The device supports a maximum collector-emitter voltage (VCEO) of 50 V and a continuous collector current of 100 mA. It includes a typical input resistor of 4.7 kOhms and operates at temperatures up to +150°C. This component is designed for switching applications requiring compact footprint and simplified circuit design.

Procurement Notes

Verify availability status as this component may be discontinued or subject to limited supply. Confirm RoHS compliance details through official Panasonic documentation before procurement. Ensure ordering suffixes match required packaging formats such as reel or cut tape. Cross-reference datasheet revisions to guarantee parameter consistency with current production batches.

Selection Notes

Select this component when space constraints require a small SMD footprint alongside integrated biasing. Verify that the 50V VCEO and 100mA IC ratings exceed application requirements. Consider the 4.7kOhm input resistance for base drive compatibility. Compare against similar DRC series parts if different resistor values or packages are needed.

Part Context

The DRC9115E0L belongs to Panasonic's DRC series of digital transistors, which combine BJTs with internal resistors. This series targets miniaturization in consumer electronics and industrial control. The E0L suffix typically denotes specific packaging and tape-and-reel configuration for automated assembly processes.

Replacement Considerations

Check Panasonic's official substitution guide for equivalent NPN digital transistors with similar VCEO, IC, and package dimensions. Verify pinout compatibility and electrical characteristics before replacing. No public substitute part numbers are confirmed in available data.
