2PD601ASL,235

Single Bipolar Transistors Overview

The Nexperia 2PD601ASL,235 is an NPN general-purpose bipolar junction transistor 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 at IC=2mA, VCE=10V) and Group S (290–460). Key electrical limits include a collector-base voltage of 60 V, emitter-base voltage of 6 V, and total power dissipation of 250 mW. It features a transition frequency of 100 MHz and operates within a junction temperature range up to 150 °C.

Single Bipolar Transistors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's latest documentation to confirm packaging details and halogen-free status. Confirm that the selected variant matches the required current gain group (R or S) for your circuit design. Ensure compatibility with the SOT-23 footprint during PCB layout. Cross-reference the part number with official Nexperia distributors to validate authenticity and supply chain integrity before finalizing procurement.

Single Bipolar Transistors Selection Notes

Select this component when a small SMD NPN transistor with moderate voltage ratings is required. Choose Group R or Group S based on the specific hFE requirements of the application. Ensure the thermal management strategy accounts for the 250 mW power dissipation limit. Verify that the operating conditions remain within the absolute maximum ratings to prevent device degradation.
