PIMC31-QX

Overview

The Nexperia PIMC31-Q is a double Resistor-Equipped Transistor (RET) containing one NPN and one PNP transistor in a TSOP6 (SOT457) surface-mount package. It supports a collector-emitter voltage of 50 V and an output current of 500 mA per transistor. The device integrates a base bias resistor (R1) of 1 kΩ and an emitter-base resistor (R2) of 10 kΩ, yielding a ratio of 10. Total power dissipation is rated at 420 mW for the dual device and 290 mW per transistor at 25 °C ambient temperature. The component is qualified to AEC-Q101 standards.

Feature Summary

• Integrated bias resistors simplify circuit design and reduce component count
• Qualified according to AEC-Q101 for automotive applications
• Small SOT457 plastic package reduces pick and place costs

Applications

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

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's official documentation to confirm packaging details such as reel size or tape-and-reel specifications. Confirm that the requested part number matches the exact electrical characteristics and package type required for the target application before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a compact solution combining both NPN and PNP switching functions with integrated biasing is required. Ensure the design accounts for the 420 mW total power dissipation limit and verify that the 50 V collector-emitter voltage rating exceeds the maximum operating voltage of the load being switched.

Part Context

This component belongs to the PIMC series of double resistor-equipped transistors manufactured by Nexperia. These devices are designed to replace discrete transistor and resistor combinations, offering a space-saving alternative for digital logic interfaces and signal switching circuits in consumer electronics and automotive systems.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements include the PIMC31F and PIMC32X from Nexperia, which share similar NPN/PNP configurations and packages. Verify pinout compatibility and ensure that the replacement part meets the same AEC-Q101 qualification requirements if used in automotive environments.
