PMBT2222AYS-QX

Overview

The PMBT2222AYS-QX is a double NPN switching transistor manufactured by Nexperia, housed in a TSSOP6 (SOT363-3) surface-mounted plastic package. It contains two independent NPN transistors within a single device. The component supports a maximum collector-emitter voltage of 40 V and a continuous collector current of 600 mA per transistor. It features a DC current gain ranging from 100 to 300 at specific test conditions. The device is qualified according to AEC-Q101 standards for automotive applications.

Feature Summary

• Double general-purpose switching transistor configuration
• Qualified according to AEC-Q101 for automotive use

Applications

• Switching circuits
• Linear amplification

Procurement Notes

Verify the exact ordering suffix against the manufacturer's official documentation before purchase. Confirm that the 'Q' designation aligns with your project's automotive qualification requirements. Ensure the TSSOP6 package type matches your PCB footprint design specifications.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual NPN configuration is required in a compact SMD form factor. Consider the 40 V voltage rating and 600 mA current capability for appropriate load handling. Verify thermal dissipation limits based on the intended PCB mounting conditions and ambient temperature constraints.

Part Context

This part belongs to Nexperia's line of small-signal switching transistors designed for space-constrained applications. It serves as a double transistor alternative to single units, reducing board space. The SOT363-3 package provides a compact solution compared to larger through-hole or standard SMD packages.

Replacement Considerations

The PMBT2907AYS-Q is the documented double PNP complement. Single transistor equivalents like the PMBT2222A may require two components to achieve the same functionality.
