Automotive-grade dual pre-biased transistor for space-constrained switching
The Toshiba RN4987FE,LXHF(CT is a dual pre-biased transistor combining one NPN and one PNP die in a single SOT-563 package, qualified to AEC-Q101 for automotive applications. Each transistor integrates a 10 kΩ base resistor (R1) and a 47 kΩ emitter-base resistor (R2), eliminating the need for external bias components in switching circuits up to 100 mA collector current and 50 V collector-emitter breakdown.
The 50 V Vce breakdown covers automotive rails with margin. At 100 mA max Ic, this part suits relay drivers, solenoid pre-drivers, and logic-level interface circuits.
Package and mounting
The small footprint suits dense automotive ECU layouts where board area is at a premium.
Lifecycle and sourcing
Toshiba lists the RN4987FE,LXHF(CT as an active product with no end-of-life notification. As an AEC-Q101 qualified part, it carries the documentation and traceability expected for automotive production lines.
