PDTC114EE,115

Overview

The PDTC114EE,115 is an NPN Resistor-Equipped Transistor (RET) from the Nexperia PDTC114E series, housed in a SOT416 (SC-75) plastic surface-mounted package. It integrates bias resistors R1 and R2, both nominally 10 kΩ, to simplify digital circuit design. Key electrical parameters include a collector-emitter voltage (VCEO) of 50 V, an output current capability of 100 mA, and a total power dissipation of 150 mW at 25 °C ambient temperature. The device features a DC current gain (hFE) of at least 30 at IC = 5 mA and a transition frequency (fT) of 230 MHz at IC = 10 mA. It is AEC-Q101 qualified for automotive applications.

Feature Summary

• Integrates built-in bias resistors (R1=10kΩ, R2=10kΩ) to reduce component count and simplify circuit layout.
• AEC-Q101 qualified for reliability in automotive environments.
• Provides 100 mA output current capability suitable for switching loads and controlling IC inputs.

Applications

• Digital applications in automotive segments
• Digital applications in industrial segments
• Control of IC inputs
• Switching loads

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering code suffix matches the required packing method, as the -115 suffix indicates 4 mm pitch tape and reel packaging with a quantity of 3000 units. Confirm that the SOT416 package variant is selected for the target footprint. Ensure compliance with RoHS directives if applicable to the manufacturing region. Check for any recent product status changes or obsolescence notices on the manufacturer's website before finalizing procurement plans.

Selection Notes

Select the PDTC114EE when a small SOT416 package is required for space-constrained designs. Choose this part over discrete transistor/resistor combinations to save board area and assembly costs. Ensure the application voltage does not exceed 50 V and current stays within 100 mA limits. Consider the complementary PNP type PDTA114EE if a PNP configuration is needed for the same resistor values.

Part Context

The PDTC114EE belongs to the broader PDTC114E family, which includes variants in different packages such as SOT883, SOT23, and SOT323. All members share identical internal circuitry with 10 kΩ bias resistors but differ in physical dimensions and thermal characteristics. This family serves as a cost-saving alternative to standard BC847/857 series transistors in digital switching applications.

Replacement Considerations

Direct functional substitutes within the same package include other manufacturers' NPN RETs with 10kΩ/10kΩ bias resistors in SOT-416. For package flexibility, the PDTC114ET (SOT23) or PDTC114EU (SOT323) offer identical electrical performance in smaller footprints. Complementary PNP operation requires the PDTA114EE.
