PNP pre-biased transistor with matched 22 kΩ resistors
This built-in bias network eliminates two external resistors from the BOM, saving board space and reducing component count in switching and driver stages. Typical applications include low-power switching, relay and LED drivers, and interface circuits where a single PNP switch with a defined on/off threshold is needed.
200 mW power dissipation in SOT-23
The SOT-23 footprint (PG-SOT23 supplier package) keeps the thermal path short; for continuous operation near the 100 mA collector current limit, derating is required above 25 °C ambient. The low Vce(sat) of 300 mV at 500 µA base current and 10 mA collector current means minimal voltage drop in the on-state, which helps maintain output voltage headroom in low-voltage designs.
NRND — plan for a last-time buy or alternate
Buyers should evaluate a pin-compatible PNP pre-biased transistor in the same SOT-23 package for long-term supply continuity.
