2SA952-T-A

Single Bipolar Transistors Overview

The 2SA952-T-A is a PNP silicon small signal transistor manufactured by Renesas Electronics Corporation. It features a collector-emitter voltage (VCEO) of 25V and a continuous collector current of 700mA. The device operates within a power dissipation limit of 0.6W at 100°C. It utilizes a TO-92 package with three pins, identified as SC-43B. The DC current gain (hFE) ranges from 90 to 400. The component is lead-free and compliant with environmental standards.

Single Bipolar Transistors Feature Summary

• TO-92 surface-mount compatible package
• Lead-free and environmentally compliant manufacturing

Single Bipolar Transistors Applications

• General purpose switching circuits
• Amplifier stages in consumer electronics
• Signal processing components

Single Bipolar Transistors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix -T-A against official Renesas documentation to confirm tape and reel availability status, as some sources indicate non-reel packaging. Ensure the procurement channel provides valid traceability for lead-free compliance. Confirm that the supplier recognizes the part as supported for existing customers only, per manufacturer restrictions. Validate the package marking code SC-43B matches the physical component received.

Single Bipolar Transistors Selection Notes

Select this component when a PNP transistor with 25V VCEO and 700mA Ic is required in a compact TO-92 form factor. The hFE range of 90-400 suits general amplification tasks. Consider the 0.6W power dissipation limit for thermal management in enclosed designs. Verify compatibility with low-voltage logic interfaces due to the 25V rating.

Single Bipolar Transistors Part Context

The 2SA952 series belongs to Renesas' Bipolar Power Transistors portfolio. This specific variant is designated for customers who have already adopted these products, indicating potential supply chain restrictions. It serves as a standard discrete semiconductor solution within the broader analog and power management ecosystem provided by Renesas Electronics Corporation.

Single Bipolar Transistors Replacement Considerations

Consult official Renesas substitution guides for verified equivalents. Generic cross-reference lists may not account for the specific adoption restrictions or exact pinout variations associated with the SC-43B package designation.
