2PA1576S,115

Single Bipolar Transistors Overview

The Nexperia 2PA1576S 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 exhibits a DC current gain (hFE) ranging from 270 to 560 at -6 V and -1 A. Key electrical characteristics include a typical collector capacitance of 2.5 pF and a transition frequency of 100 MHz. Thermal performance specifies a junction-to-ambient resistance of 625 K/W, allowing operation within a temperature range of -65 °C to +150 °C.

Single Bipolar Transistors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against official Nexperia documentation to confirm packaging details such as reel size or tape-and-reel specifications. Confirm that the component meets non-automotive qualification standards, as indicated by the datasheet revision history. Ensure compatibility with standard FR4 printed-circuit board footprints during the procurement phase.

Single Bipolar Transistors Selection Notes

Select this component for designs requiring a small form factor PNP transistor with moderate voltage handling. The high DC current gain makes it suitable for low-current amplification tasks. Verify that the thermal resistance and power dissipation limits align with the target application's ambient conditions and PCB copper area constraints.
