PIMC31F

Overview

The PIMC31F is a double Resistor-Equipped Transistor (RET) containing one NPN and one PNP transistor in a TSOP6 (SOT457) 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 resistor (R2) of 10 kΩ, yielding a ratio of 10. Key electrical characteristics include a DC current gain (hFE) minimum of 70 at 50 mA and 5 V, and a maximum collector-emitter saturation voltage of 300 mV at 50 mA. Total power dissipation is rated at 420 mW.

Feature Summary

• Integrates dual NPN/PNP transistors with built-in bias resistors to simplify circuit design.
• Reduces component count and pick-and-place costs by combining active and passive elements.
• Provides high output current capability suitable for digital switching applications.

Applications

• Digital applications in automotive segments
• Digital applications in industrial segments
• Switching loads

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's latest documentation to confirm package type and availability. Confirm that the non-automotive qualified status aligns with the target application requirements, as this product lacks AEC-Q101 certification. Ensure compatibility with standard surface-mount assembly processes for the SOT457 footprint.

Selection Notes

Select the PIMC31F when a compact solution for driving both NPN and PNP logic inputs or loads is required. The fixed 1 kΩ base resistor simplifies interface design for standard logic levels. Consider the thermal resistance values if operating near the maximum current limits in confined spaces.

Part Context

The PIMC31F belongs to the PIMC31 family of double resistor-equipped transistors. It serves as the NPN/PNP complement within this series, distinct from the NPN/NPN variant (PIMN31). The 'F' suffix typically denotes the tape and reel packaging configuration for automated assembly.

Replacement Considerations

Direct functional substitutes include the PIMC31 without suffix variations if packaging matches. For automotive-grade requirements, Nexperia offers alternative products explicitly qualified under AEC-Q101 standards, as this specific part is not automotive qualified.
