Nexperia PMBS3906
PMBS3906 variants from Nexperia
PMBS3906 Overview
What changes between part numbers, and what to check before you lock the BOM — BJTs.
Key Features
- Footprint / package: SOT-23Single package option across listed variants; still confirm reel vs tube suffix if you auto-insert.
- Lifecycle mix: ActiveConfirm lifecycle on the exact MPN, not just the base number prefix.
- 2 distinct suffix patternsExamples: DG,215, ,215. Decode suffix meaning in the ordering notes under the variant table.
Target Applications
- BJTs — design-in and field replacement
- BOM scrub where only the base prefix is known but suffix is TBD
- Second-source checks when the original MPN is constrained
Ordering Variants
Compare 2 PMBS3906 part numbers by package, electrical parameters, lifecycle, and availability. Use RFQ for stock and lead-time confirmation.
| Part Number | Description | Package Type | Manufacturer | Lifecycle | RoHS | Availability | Action |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| PMBS3906/DG,215 | Package: SOT-23 | Mounting Type: Surface Mount | Max Operating Temp: 150°C | Min Operating Temp: -65°C | SOT-23 | Nexperia | Active | Compliant | In Stock | |
| PMBS3906,215 | PMBS3906 - 40 V, 100 mA PNP general-purpose transistor TO-236 3-Pin | - | Nexperia | Active | Compliant | In Stock |
Ordering Code Differences
How suffixes on PMBS3906 map to package, grade, and reel options.
How to Choose the Right PMBS3906 BJTs
Match the footprint first
Packages here: SOT-23. Open the land-pattern drawing before you substitute a different suffix.
Electrical headroom
Compare voltage and current columns in the variant table. For PMBS3906, a suffix with lower voltage or current rating will not survive the same circuit without recalculation.
Temp grade letter matters
Commercial (0–70 °C) and industrial (−40–85 °C+) suffixes look similar in the prefix — confirm ambient + self-heating, not just the first page of the datasheet.
Copy the full MPN
Do not BOM only "PMBS3906" — include the full suffix (e.g. DG,215, ,215). RFQ with reel/tube preference and required date code.
