PIMZ2,115

Overview

The PIMZ2,115 is an NPN/PNP general-purpose double transistor manufactured by Nexperia USA Inc. It is housed in a SOT457 (SC-74) plastic surface-mounted package with six leads. The device features a collector-emitter voltage (VCEO) of 50 V and a DC collector current (IC) of 150 mA per transistor. Total power dissipation is rated at 300 mW at an ambient temperature of 25 °C. The junction temperature range extends from -65 °C to +150 °C.

Feature Summary

• Simplified circuit design through integrated dual-transistor configuration
• Reduced component count compared to discrete solutions
• Lower pick and place costs during assembly

Applications

• General-purpose switching
• Amplification circuits

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against official Nexperia documentation to confirm manufacturing origin details. Confirm that the SOT457 package variant matches the required footprint for the target PCB layout. Ensure compatibility with standard surface-mount assembly processes before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when space constraints require consolidating two transistors into a single package. Verify that the 150 mA continuous collector current meets the load requirements. Check thermal resistance values if operating near maximum power dissipation limits to ensure adequate heat management on the FR4 printed-circuit board.

Part Context

This part belongs to the PIMZ2/PUMZ2 family of NPN/PNP general-purpose double transistors. While originally documented under NXP Semiconductors, the product line is now managed by Nexperia. The PIMZ2 specifically utilizes the SOT457 package, distinguishing it from the PUMZ2 which uses the SOT363 package.

Replacement Considerations

PUMZ2 serves as a functional equivalent within the same family but utilizes the SOT363 package instead of SOT457. Verify pinout compatibility and physical footprint differences before substituting.
