PBSS2515VPN,115

Overview

The PBSS2515VPN,115 is a dual NPN/PNP transistor array in the SOT-666 (SSMini) surface-mount package. It features a maximum collector-emitter voltage of 15 V and a continuous collector current of 500 mA. The device offers a low saturation voltage of 250 mV at 50 mA/500 mA and a transition frequency of 420 MHz for the NPN section. Power dissipation is rated at 300 mW with an operating temperature range up to +150 °C.

Feature Summary

• Dual configuration integrating one NPN and one PNP transistor within a single compact footprint.
• Low saturation voltage design supports efficient switching in low-voltage logic circuits.
• High thermal stability allows operation at junction temperatures up to +150 °C.

Applications

• General-purpose switching applications in consumer electronics
• Logic level translation between different voltage domains
• Driver circuits for small-signal loads

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix against the manufacturer's datasheet to confirm pinout compatibility and electrical tolerances. Confirm RoHS compliance status and moisture sensitivity level requirements for your assembly process. Ensure the ordering code matches the exact package variant required for your PCB layout.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual NPN/PNP pair is needed in a minimal space-constrained environment. The 15 V rating suits low-voltage digital systems. Compare the 250 mV saturation voltage against load requirements to ensure adequate drive capability. Verify that the 300 mW power dissipation limit accommodates the expected thermal conditions in the final enclosure.

Part Context

This part belongs to Nexperia’s PBSS series of low VCE(sat) transistors. It utilizes the SSMini (SOT-666) package, which provides a small outline form factor suitable for high-density surface-mount assemblies. The series is designed to replace discrete transistor pairs in space-sensitive designs.

Replacement Considerations

Publicly confirmed substitute part numbers are not available in the provided documentation. Verify pinout compatibility if considering alternative dual transistor arrays from other manufacturers.
