PIMC31-QF

Overview

The PIMC31-Q is a 50 V, 500 mA NPN/PNP double Resistor-Equipped Transistor (RET) housed in a small SOT457 (SC-74) TSOP6 surface-mounted plastic package. It integrates an NPN transistor with a 1 kΩ bias resistor and a PNP transistor with a 10 kΩ bias resistor. The device features a collector-emitter voltage of 50 V and supports up to 500 mA output current per transistor. Total power dissipation reaches 420 mW at 25 °C ambient temperature. The component is qualified according to AEC-Q101 standards for automotive applications.

Feature Summary

• Integrates dual transistors with built-in bias resistors to simplify circuit design and reduce component count
• Qualified according to AEC-Q101 for use in automotive applications
• Reduces pick and place costs through compact SOT457 packaging

Applications

• Digital applications in automotive and industrial segments
• Switching loads

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix matches the required tape-and-reel configuration or bulk packaging variant before procurement. Confirm that the AEC-Q101 qualification status aligns with the target automotive application requirements. Ensure the SOT457 footprint dimensions are compatible with the intended PCB layout and soldering process specifications.

Selection Notes

Select this component when space-constrained designs require dual switching functions with integrated base drive resistors. The SOT457 package offers a smaller footprint compared to discrete solutions. Consider the 50 V rating and 500 mA current capability against load requirements. Verify thermal performance under expected operating conditions using the provided derating curves.

Part Context

This part belongs to Nexperia's family of resistor-equipped transistors designed to replace multiple discrete components. The PIMC31-Q specifically combines an NPN and PNP transistor in one package. It serves as a compact alternative to separate transistors and resistors, particularly useful in digital logic interfaces and load switching circuits where board space is limited.

Replacement Considerations

Publicly confirmed substitutes include the PIMP31PA (DFN2020-6 package) and PIMN31PA (NPN/NPN complement). Verify pinout compatibility and package dimensions when replacing with these alternatives.
