PDTC123ETVL

Overview

The PDTC123ETVL is an NPN resistor-equipped transistor from the PDTC123E series, manufactured by Nexperia. It integrates a single NPN transistor with built-in bias resistors R1 and R2, both typically rated at 2.2 kΩ. The device is housed in a SOT-23 (TO-236AB) surface-mount package. Key electrical limits include a collector-emitter voltage (VCEO) of 50 V, a continuous DC output current (IO) of 100 mA, and a total power dissipation of 250 mW at 25 °C ambient temperature. The junction temperature maximum is 150 °C.

Feature Summary

• Integrates bias resistors to simplify circuit design
• Reduces component count and pick-and-place costs
• Provides general-purpose switching and amplification capabilities

Applications

• General purpose switching and amplification
• Inverter and interface circuits
• Circuit driver applications

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'VL' against official Nexperia documentation to confirm manufacturing origin or tape-and-reel specifications. Ensure the ordering code matches the required SOT-23 package variant. Confirm RoHS compliance status through the manufacturer's latest product data sheet before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component for designs requiring a compact NPN solution with integrated base biasing. The 2.2 kΩ internal resistors are suitable for standard logic interfacing. Verify that the 100 mA current rating and 50 V voltage limit meet the specific load requirements of the target application circuit.

Part Context

This part belongs to the PDTC123E series of NPN resistor-equipped transistors. The series includes various package options such as SOT883, SOT323, and SOT416. The PDTC123ET variant specifically denotes the SOT-23 plastic surface-mounted package configuration within this family.

Replacement Considerations

The PDTA123ET is the PNP complement within the same series. Other package variants like PDTC123EU (SOT-323) may serve as physical replacements if pin compatibility allows.
