PBLS2002S,115

Overview

The PBLS2002S is a PNP low VCEsat Breakthrough In Small Signal (BISS) transistor and an NPN Resistor-Equipped Transistor (RET) integrated in a single SOT96-1 (SO8) surface-mount package. The PNP section supports a collector-emitter voltage of -20 V and a continuous collector current of -3 A, with a typical saturation resistance of 75 mΩ at -2 A. The NPN RET section features a 4.7 kΩ bias resistor and handles up to 100 mA output current with a 50 V collector-emitter rating. This dual-component design reduces board space and component count for load switching applications.

Feature Summary

• Combines a low saturation voltage PNP BISS transistor with an NPN resistor-equipped transistor in one compact package
• Offers a space-saving solution that reduces overall component count in circuit designs
• Requires low drive power due to low threshold voltage characteristics compared to MOSFETs

Applications

• Supply line switches
• Battery charger switches
• High-side switches for LEDs, drivers, and backlights
• Portable equipment

Procurement Notes

Verify the current product status and availability through official Nexperia or authorized distributor channels, as business transfers may affect supply chains. Confirm that the ordering suffix matches the required packing method, such as tape and reel quantities specified in the datasheet. Ensure compliance with RoHS directives and check for any recent Product Change Notices regarding material or assembly updates before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when space constraints require integrating both a high-current load switch and a logic-level driver transistor. The PNP BISS transistor is suitable for handling loads up to 3 A with low conduction losses. The integrated NPN RET simplifies interface circuits by eliminating external biasing resistors. Verify thermal management requirements based on the specific PCB footprint and ambient temperature conditions defined in the thermal characteristics section.

Part Context

This device belongs to the family of small signal transistors designed for efficient power management in compact electronics. Originally released under NXP Semiconductors, the standard product business was transferred to Nexperia. The PBLS2002S utilizes the SOT96-1 package, which is equivalent to the standard SO8 outline, providing a standardized footprint for surface-mount assembly processes in consumer and industrial devices.

Replacement Considerations

Check for direct pin-compatible alternatives within the Nexperia BISS and RET portfolios. Verify that substitute components meet the -20 V PNP and 50 V NPN voltage ratings. Ensure the replacement maintains the 3 A current capability and similar saturation resistance values to preserve circuit performance.
