PMBT5550

Nexperia · Bipolar (BJT) · SOT-23

PMBT5550 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 input Base terminal; the datasheet limits peak base current to IBM 100 mA (single pulse, tp ≤ 1 ms).
2 E passive Emitter terminal; the emitter-base voltage is limited to VEBO 6 V (open collector).
3 C passive Collector terminal; the datasheet limits collector current to IC 300 mA (ICM 600 mA peak) with VCEO 140 V (open base) and VCBO 160 V.
