PBSS5350TVL

Single Bipolar Transistors Overview

The Nexperia PBSS5350TVL is a PNP low VCEsat transistor housed in a small SOT23 (TO-236AB) Surface-Mounted Device plastic package. It features a collector-emitter voltage of -50 V, a continuous collector current of -2 A, and a repetitive peak collector current of -3 A. The device offers a typical collector-emitter saturation resistance of 90 mΩ and a transition frequency of 100 MHz. Total power dissipation reaches up to 1.2 W depending on mounting conditions, with an operating temperature range from -65 °C to +150 °C.

Single Bipolar Transistors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against official Nexperia documentation to confirm reel specifications and manufacturing site codes. Confirm that the non-automotive qualified status aligns with your application requirements, as automotive versions require distinct part numbers. Ensure compatibility with standard SOT23 footprints during PCB layout.

Single Bipolar Transistors Selection Notes

Select this component for designs requiring high current handling in compact surface-mount layouts. Evaluate thermal performance based on the specific PCB copper area and layer count, as power dissipation varies significantly with mounting conditions. Consider the non-automotive qualification when choosing between this variant and automotive-grade alternatives.

Single Bipolar Transistors Part Context

This device belongs to the PBS series of general-purpose transistors designed for low saturation voltage applications. It serves as the PNP complement to the NPN PBSS4350T. The product data sheet revision history indicates a change to non-automotive qualification status in January 2023, distinguishing it from previously qualified or alternative automotive variants.

Single Bipolar Transistors Replacement Considerations

Consult official Nexperia documentation for confirmed automotive-qualified substitutes if vehicle compliance is required. Verify pinout compatibility with the SOT23 package before substituting other manufacturers' PNP transistors with similar voltage and current ratings.
