PMMT591A

Nexperia · Bipolar (BJT) · SOT-23

PMMT591A from Nexperia, in a SOT-23. Pinout and pin descriptions extracted from the manufacturer datasheet (extract_pins, cross-checked by a second model); symbol, footprint, and 3D from KiCad-official CAD.

Pinout

Pin Name Type Function
1 base input Base terminal of the PNP BISS transistor; peak base current is limited to −1 A (IBM) in the limiting values.
2 emitter passive Emitter terminal of the PNP BISS transistor; emitter-base voltage is limited to −5 V (VEBO) in the limiting values.
3 collector passive Collector terminal of the PNP BISS transistor; limited to −40 V collector-emitter (VCEO), −1 A DC collector current (IC) and −2 A peak collector current (ICM).

CAD (KiCad official)

  • Symbol: PMMT591A
  • Footprint: Package_TO_SOT_SMD:SOT-23
  • 3D model: SOT-23 (KiCad packages3D, STEP)
  • 3D model files: pmmt591a-etched.step / pmmt591a-etched.glb carry the MPN laser-etched on the die in a toggleable Adom.LaserEtch group (Fusion-ready); pmmt591a.step / pmmt591a.glb are the bare package body.
