PBSS4120T

Nexperia · Bipolar (BJT) · SOT-23

PBSS4120T 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 B passive Base terminal of the NPN transistor; the datasheet gives a peak base current limit of 300 mA for single pulses with tp ≤ 1 ms.
2 E passive Emitter terminal of the NPN transistor; the datasheet gives an emitter-base voltage limit of 5 V (VEBO, open collector).
3 C passive Collector terminal of the NPN transistor; the datasheet gives a collector-emitter voltage limit of 20 V (VCEO, open base) and a collector current limit of 1 A (ICM 3 A peak).
