2PD601ARL,235

Single Bipolar Transistors Overview

The Nexperia 2PD601ARL,235 is an NPN general-purpose bipolar junction transistor (BJT) housed in a SOT-23 (TO-236AB) surface-mount package. It supports a maximum collector-emitter voltage of 50 V and a continuous collector current of 100 mA. The device features two DC current gain groups: Group R (210 to 340) and Group S (290 to 460). Key electrical limits include a collector-base voltage of 60 V, emitter-base voltage of 6 V, and total power dissipation of 250 mW at 25 °C ambient temperature. The transition frequency is rated at 100 MHz.

Single Bipolar Transistors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's official documentation to confirm packaging details and regional compliance status. Confirm that the component matches the required current gain group (R or S) for your design specifications. Ensure compatibility with standard SMD reflow soldering profiles as defined in the datasheet.

Single Bipolar Transistors Selection Notes

Select this component when a small SMD footprint is required for low-power NPN switching or amplification tasks. Consider the AEC-Q101 qualification if the application involves automotive environments. Evaluate the available current gain groups to ensure they align with the circuit's biasing requirements and performance targets.

Single Bipolar Transistors Part Context

This part belongs to the 2PD601AXL family of NPN general-purpose transistors manufactured by Nexperia USA Inc. The family includes variants such as 2PD601ARL and 2PD601ASL, which share identical electrical characteristics but differ in packaging quantities and marking codes. The TO-236AB package provides a compact solution for space-constrained designs.

Single Bipolar Transistors Replacement Considerations

The 2PB709ARL is listed as the PNP complement within the same product family. Direct replacements should be verified against the full datasheet specifications to ensure pinout and electrical parameter compatibility.
