Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Substitute: PBLS1502Y,115

The PBLS1502Y,115 is the manufacturer-recommended substitute for the obsolete PBLS1502V,115. All electrical parameters are identical, including transistor configuration, current ratings, voltage ratings, gain characteristics, and frequency response. Both components are manufactured by NXP USA Inc. (operating as Nexperia for the substitute).

Key Advantages of PBLS1502Y,115:

• Active product status ensures long-term availability and supply chain stability
• Identical electrical performance across all specified parameters
• Same integrated bias resistor configuration (4.7kOhms)
• Equivalent power dissipation capability (300mW)
• Surface Mount technology maintained

Package Consideration: The PBLS1502Y,115 uses SOT-363 packaging instead of SOT-666. This represents a different physical footprint and pinout. PCB layout modifications are required for implementation. Verify pinout compatibility with your existing circuit design before component selection.

Compliance Status: The PBLS1502V,115 is confirmed ROHS3 compliant with MSL rating of 1. The PBLS1502Y,115 maintains equivalent compliance standards as an active NXP/Nexperia product.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can PBLS1502Y,115 be used as a direct replacement for PBLS1502V,115?

A: Electrical substitution is complete. All transistor parameters, bias resistor values, and performance specifications are identical. However, the package differs (SOT-363 vs. SOT-666), requiring PCB layout redesign and pinout verification.

Q: What is the difference between SOT-666 and SOT-363 packages?

A: SOT-666 and SOT-363 are different Surface Mount package outlines with different physical dimensions and pin configurations. Consult the respective datasheets for exact pinout and footprint specifications before PCB redesign.

Q: Why is PBLS1502V,115 obsolete?
