PBSS4520X

20 V, 5 A NPN low VCEsat transistor

NPN low VCEsat transistor in a SOT89 (SC-62/TO-243) small and flat lead Surface-Mounted Device (SMD) plastic package.

PNP complement: PBSS5520X

Features and benefits

  • High hFE and low VCEsat at high current operation

  • High collector current capability: IC maximum 5 A

  • Higher efficiency leading to less heat generation

  • AEC-Q101 qualified

Applications

  • Medium power peripheral drivers, e.g. fans and motors

  • Strobe flash units for DSC and mobile phones

  • Inverter applications, e.g. TFT displays

  • Power switch for LAN and ADSL systems

  • Medium power DC-to-DC conversion

  • Battery chargers

Sample

As a Nexperia customer you can order samples via our sales organization.

If you do not have a direct account with Nexperia our network of global and regional distributors is available and equipped to support you with Nexperia samples. Check out the list of official distributors.

How does it work?

The interactive datasheets are based on the Nexperia MOSFET precision electrothermal models. With our interactive datasheets you can simply specify your own conditions interactively. Start by changing the values of the conditions. You can do this by using the sliders in the condition fields. By dragging the sliders you will see how the MOSFET will perform at the new conditions set.
