2PD1820AQ,115

Single Bipolar Transistors Overview

The 2PD1820AQ,115 is an NPN general-purpose bipolar junction transistor manufactured by Nexperia (formerly NXP Standard Products). It is housed in a surface-mount SC-70 (SOT323) plastic package with three leads. The device supports a maximum collector current of 500 mA and a collector-emitter voltage of 50 V. Key electrical characteristics include a DC current gain range of 85 to 170 at 150 mA, a low collector-emitter saturation voltage of 600 mV at 300 mA, and a transition frequency of 150 MHz.

Single Bipolar Transistors Feature Summary

• High current handling capability for portable equipment applications
• Low collector-emitter saturation voltage for efficient switching
• General-purpose amplification and switching functionality

Single Bipolar Transistors Applications

• General purpose switching circuits
• Amplification stages in portable electronic devices

Single Bipolar Transistors Procurement Notes

Verify the component origin as Nexperia B.V., which succeeded the NXP Standard Product business on February 7, 2017. Ensure datasheet references align with the updated corporate identity while maintaining technical continuity. Confirm the specific suffix 'Q' corresponds to the required DC current gain binning during procurement.

Single Bipolar Transistors Selection Notes

Select this component when a compact SOT323 package is required for NPN switching or amplification tasks. The AQ variant provides a guaranteed minimum DC current gain of 85, suitable for standard logic interfacing. Evaluate thermal resistance constraints, as the small outline package limits total power dissipation to 200 mW under specified conditions.

Single Bipolar Transistors Part Context

This part belongs to the 2PD1820A series of NPN transistors designed for low-voltage, high-current applications. It serves as a discrete semiconductor solution within the broader portfolio of general-purpose switching components. The PNP complement for this family is the 2PB1219A.

Single Bipolar Transistors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes are not explicitly listed in the provided documentation. Designers should evaluate other NPN transistors in the SC-70 package that meet the 500 mA current and 50 V voltage requirements.
