2PD601ASL,215

Single Bipolar Transistors Overview

The Nexperia 2PD601ASL,215 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 offers two DC current gain groups: Group R (210–340) and Group S (290–460), measured at VCE = 10 V and IC = 2 mA. Key electrical limits include a collector-base voltage of 60 V, emitter-base voltage of 6 V, and total power dissipation of 250 mW. The transition frequency is 100 MHz, with a collector-emitter saturation voltage of 250 mV at specified currents.

Single Bipolar Transistors Feature Summary

Single Bipolar Transistors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to confirm packaging details and manufacturing origin. Confirm that the required current gain group matches the design specifications, as the component is available in distinct gain ranges. Ensure compliance with RoHS directives and check for any recent product change notices regarding assembly sites or material updates before finalizing procurement.

Single Bipolar Transistors Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-voltage NPN switch or amplifier is required in a compact surface-mount footprint. Choose between gain groups based on base drive requirements; Group S provides higher gain for lower drive currents. Verify thermal management capabilities against the 250 mW dissipation limit and ensure the operating temperature range aligns with system constraints.

Single Bipolar Transistors Part Context

This part belongs to the 2PD601AXL family of NPN general-purpose transistors from Nexperia. It shares the same electrical characteristics and pinout with the 2PD601ARL variant, differing primarily in packaging configuration and marking codes. The series is designed for cost-effective integration into consumer electronics and industrial control systems requiring reliable discrete switching performance.

Single Bipolar Transistors Replacement Considerations

The PNP complement within the same family is the 2PB709ASL. For direct replacement, verify that the substitute maintains identical pinout, voltage ratings, and current gain specifications to ensure circuit compatibility without redesign.
