2PA1576R,115

Single Bipolar Transistors Overview

The Nexperia 2PA1576R is a PNP general-purpose transistor housed in a compact SOT323 (SC-70) surface-mount plastic package. It supports a maximum collector-emitter voltage of -50 V and a continuous collector current of -150 mA, with peak ratings reaching -200 mA for both collector and base currents. The device features a typical DC current gain ranging from 180 to 390 at specified test conditions. Electrical characteristics include a low collector capacitance of typically 2.5 pF and a transition frequency of 100 MHz. Thermal performance allows for a total power dissipation of 200 mW at ambient temperatures up to 25 °C.

Single Bipolar Transistors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix matches the required tape-and-reel configuration before procurement. Confirm that the application environment remains within the specified non-automotive qualification limits, as this component lacks automotive certification. Ensure thermal management strategies account for the junction-to-ambient resistance when operating near maximum power dissipation limits.

Single Bipolar Transistors Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring a small-form-factor PNP transistor with moderate voltage handling and standard current capabilities. Consider the NPN complement 2PC4081R if complementary pairs are needed. Evaluate the thermal resistance constraints against the expected duty cycle and ambient temperature to ensure reliable operation within the specified junction temperature range.

Single Bipolar Transistors Part Context
