PEMZ7,315

Overview

The PEMZ7,315 is a general-purpose double transistor featuring NPN and PNP configurations housed in an SOT-666 ultra-small and flat lead Surface-Mounted Device plastic package. It provides a total power dissipation of 300 mW with a maximum collector-emitter voltage (Vceo) of 12 V and a continuous collector current of 500 mA. The device exhibits a low saturation voltage (Vce(sat)) of 220 mV at 10 mA base and 200 mA collector currents, alongside a minimum DC current gain (hFE) of 200 at 10 mA and 2 V. Operating temperatures range from -65 °C to +150 °C junction temperature.

Feature Summary

• Ultra-small and flat lead SMD plastic package for reduced PCB area
• Low Vce(sat) suitable for low supply voltage IC applications
• High current capabilities with improved thermal behavior due to flat leads

Applications

• Heavy duty battery powered equipment such as lamp drivers
• Low supply voltage IC applications requiring critical Vce(sat)
• Battery driven equipment designed to save battery power

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against official Nexperia documentation to ensure correct packaging and tape-and-reel specifications. Confirm RoHS compliance status and moisture sensitivity level requirements prior to integration into manufacturing processes. Cross-reference the 12NC code for accurate inventory management and supply chain tracking.

Selection Notes

Select this component when space constraints require an ultra-thin package while maintaining high current handling capabilities. The low saturation voltage makes it appropriate for applications where minimizing power loss in switching circuits is essential. Ensure the 12 V voltage rating aligns with the system's operational limits and thermal design supports the 300 mW dissipation capacity.

Part Context

This part belongs to Nexperia's portfolio of general-purpose transistors designed for compact electronic designs. The SOT-666 package represents a trend toward miniaturization in surface-mount technology, allowing for higher component density on printed circuit boards compared to traditional through-hole or larger SMD packages.

Replacement Considerations

Check for direct pin-compatible alternatives within the same manufacturer's lineup that offer similar Vce(sat) characteristics. Verify that any substitute maintains the SOT-666 footprint and thermal performance metrics to ensure seamless integration without redesigning the PCB layout.
