2PD601ARW,115

Single Bipolar Transistors Overview

The Nexperia 2PD601ARW is an NPN general-purpose transistor housed in a compact SOT323 (SC-70) surface-mount package. It supports a maximum collector-emitter voltage of 50 V and a continuous collector current of 100 mA, with a peak pulse current capability of 200 mA. The device features a DC current gain ranging from 210 to 340 at specified test conditions. Total power dissipation is rated at 200 mW, with a junction temperature limit of 150 °C. Transition frequency reaches 100 MHz, and the collector-emitter saturation voltage is limited to 250 mV under standard drive conditions.

Single Bipolar Transistors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix matches the required packaging configuration before purchase. Confirm that the application environment remains within the stated thermal limits and absolute maximum ratings. Ensure design compatibility with the SOT323 footprint dimensions and soldering profiles provided in the datasheet. Check for any recent revision updates to the product data sheet.

Single Bipolar Transistors Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-current NPN transistor is required in a minimal footprint. The high DC current gain makes it suitable for signal amplification stages. Verify that the 50 V voltage rating meets the circuit requirements. Consider the 200 mW power dissipation limit for thermal management on the PCB.

Single Bipolar Transistors Part Context

This part belongs to the 2PD601A series of NPN general-purpose transistors manufactured by Nexperia. The series includes variants such as 2PD601AW and 2PD601AS, which share similar electrical characteristics but may differ in packaging or marking codes. The 2PD601ARW specifically denotes the version packaged in the SOT323 form factor.

Single Bipolar Transistors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other NPN transistors with comparable 50 V/100 mA ratings and SOT323 packages, such as the BC847 series or equivalent generic alternatives. Verify pinout compatibility and ensure thermal resistance values are acceptable for the specific PCB layout.
