2SA1015-Y-AP

Single Bipolar Transistors Overview

The MCC 2SA1015-Y-AP is a PNP silicon plastic-encapsulated transistor designed for general-purpose applications. It features a collector current of -0.15A and a collector-base voltage of -50V, with power dissipation capability up to 0.4Watts. The device operates within a junction temperature range of -55°C to +125°C. The 'Y' suffix indicates a DC current gain (hFE) rank of 120 to 240 at -2.0mA collector current and -6.0V collector-emitter voltage. It utilizes a TO-92 package with straight leads.

Single Bipolar Transistors Feature Summary

• Plastic-encapsulated construction meeting UL 94 V-0 flammability rating
• Low noise figure suitable for sensitive signal processing
• Halogen-free manufacturing option available via specific suffix

Single Bipolar Transistors Applications

• General-purpose switching circuits
• Low-noise audio amplification stages
• Driver circuits for low-power loads

Single Bipolar Transistors Procurement Notes

Verify the ordering suffix matches the required packaging and compliance specifications. The '-AP' suffix denotes ammo pack packaging, while '-BP' indicates bulk packaging. Confirm the presence of the '-HF' suffix if halogen-free material compliance is strictly required for the project. Ensure the hFE rank corresponds to the design needs, as the 'Y' rank specifies a gain range of 120 to 240. Purchase only from authorized distributors to guarantee genuine parts and full traceability.

Single Bipolar Transistors Selection Notes

Select this component when a PNP transistor with moderate current handling and low noise characteristics is required. The TO-92 through-hole package facilitates easy prototyping and manual assembly. Consider the specific hFE rank 'Y' for consistent gain performance in amplifier designs. Evaluate the thermal requirements against the 0.4W power dissipation limit at ambient conditions.

Single Bipolar Transistors Part Context

This part belongs to the 2SA1015 series of PNP silicon transistors manufactured by Micro Commercial Components. The series includes variants distinguished by hFE ranking (O, Y, GR) and packaging types (Bulk, Ammo). The 2SA1015 is widely recognized as a standard general-purpose transistor in electronic circuit design.

Single Bipolar Transistors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other PNP transistors with similar electrical ratings, such as the 2SC1815 (NPN counterpart often used in pairs) or generic equivalents like the BC327 series, provided pinout compatibility and voltage/current limits are verified.

Single Bipolar Transistors FAQ

What is the DC current gain range for the 2SA1015-Y variant?

The 'Y' suffix designates a DC current gain (hFE) range of 120 to 240, measured at a collector current of -2.0mA and a collector-emitter voltage of -6.0V.

How does the packaging differ between the AP and BP suffixes?

The '-AP' suffix indicates Ammo Pack packaging, typically containing 20,000 pieces per carton. The '-BP' suffix indicates Bulk packaging, which contains 100,000 pieces per carton.

Is the 2SA1015-Y-AP halogen-free?

Standard versions are not explicitly stated as halogen-free. To obtain a halogen-free version, the '-HF' suffix must be added to the part number, resulting in a designation such as 2SA1015-Y-AP-HF.
