PIMC32PAX

Overview

The Nexperia PIMC32PA is a Resistor-Equipped double Transistor (RET) featuring one NPN and one PNP transistor in a DFN2020-6 (SOT1118) package. It provides a 50 V collector-emitter voltage rating and 500 mA output current capability per transistor. The device integrates bias resistors with R1 at 2.2 kΩ and R2 at 10 kΩ. Key electrical characteristics include a DC current gain (hFE) of 70 minimum at 50 mA, saturation voltage of 100 mV maximum at 50 mA, and transition frequencies of 210 MHz for the NPN and 150 MHz for the PNP transistor.

Feature Summary

• Integrates NPN and PNP transistors with built-in bias resistors to simplify circuit design
• Offers 500 mA output current capability within a compact leadless thermal enhanced package
• Reduces component count and pick-and-place costs compared to discrete solutions

Applications

• Digital applications
• Control of IC inputs
• Switching loads

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering code against the manufacturer's official documentation to ensure correct package type and marking code. Confirm that the DFN2020-6 footprint matches the target PCB layout requirements. Check for any recent product change notifications or revision history updates that may affect pinning or electrical specifications before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a complementary NPN/PNP pair with integrated biasing is required in a small form factor. Ensure the application voltage does not exceed 50 V and current stays within 500 mA limits. Consider the thermal resistance values provided in the datasheet if operating near maximum power dissipation ratings on standard FR4 substrates.

Part Context

This part belongs to Nexperia's Resistor-Equipped Transistor (RET) family, designed as a cost-saving alternative to general-purpose transistor series like BC807/BC817. It serves as a direct replacement for discrete resistor-transistor networks in digital logic and switching circuits, offering space savings through its ultra-thin SOT1118 plastic package configuration.

Replacement Considerations

The PIMN32PA (NPN/NPN) and PIMP32PA (PNP/PNP) are functional complements within the same series. For single-transistor needs, consider discrete RETs from the BC807/BC817 compatible range. Verify pin compatibility when replacing older SC-74 packages, as the DFN2020-6 footprint differs significantly.
