MMBT5240

ST Semtech · Zener Diodes · SOT-23

MMBT5240 from ST Semtech, 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 passive Base terminal of the PNP transistor; the datasheet gives a peak base current limit of 300 mA (-IBM).
2 Emitter passive Emitter terminal of the PNP transistor; the emitter-base voltage is rated at -VEBO 5 V.
3 Collector passive Collector terminal of the PNP transistor; rated at -VCEO 40 V, -IC 2 A continuous and -ICM 3 A peak.
