2PD602AS,115

Single Bipolar Transistors Overview

The 2PD602AS,115 is an NPN general-purpose transistor manufactured by Nexperia (formerly NXP Semiconductors). It is housed in a surface-mount SC-59 (SOT346) plastic package. 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 ranging from 170 to 340 at 150 mA, a transition frequency of 180 MHz, and a total power dissipation of 250 mW.

Single Bipolar Transistors Feature Summary

• High current capability with a maximum rating of 500 mA
• Low voltage operation supporting up to 50 V collector-emitter voltage
• Designed for general purpose switching and amplification applications

Single Bipolar Transistors Applications

• General purpose switching circuits
• Amplification stages

Single Bipolar Transistors Procurement Notes

Verify the manufacturer designation as Nexperia B.V., reflecting the separation from NXP Standard Products in February 2017. Confirm the specific ordering suffix '115' corresponds to the reel packaging format. Ensure the component matches the SC-59 outline dimensions and pin configuration defined in the product data sheet.

Single Bipolar Transistors Selection Notes

Select this component when a small signal NPN transistor with moderate current handling is required. The 2PD602AS variant offers a high minimum DC current gain of 170, suitable for efficient switching or linear amplification. Compare against the PNP complement 2PB710A if complementary pairs are needed within the same package family.

Single Bipolar Transistors Part Context

This part belongs to the 2PD602A series of NPN general-purpose transistors. The 'AS' suffix denotes a specific binning grade for DC current gain, distinguishing it from the AQ and AR variants which have lower gain ranges. All variants share identical physical package dimensions and absolute maximum ratings.

Single Bipolar Transistors Replacement Considerations

The datasheet identifies the 2PB710A as the PNP complement. Direct substitution requires verifying that the replacement meets the specific gain requirements of the AS bin and maintains compatibility with the SC-59 footprint.
