2SAR512RTL

Single Bipolar Transistors Overview

The 2SAR512RTL is a PNP bipolar junction transistor manufactured by Rohm Semiconductor, designed for surface-mount applications. It features a maximum collector-emitter voltage of 30 V and a continuous collector current rating of 2 A. The device operates with a transition frequency of 430 MHz and supports a maximum power dissipation of 1 W. Key electrical characteristics include a DC current gain (hFE) of at least 200 at 100 mA and 2 V, and a collector-emitter saturation voltage of 400 mV at 35 mA base current and 700 mA collector current. It utilizes the TSMT3 package, equivalent to SC-96, and supports a junction temperature up to 150°C.

Single Bipolar Transistors Feature Summary

• Low saturation voltage design suitable for efficient switching and amplification
• High current handling capability with 2 A collector current rating
• Optimized for high-frequency performance with 430 MHz transition frequency

Single Bipolar Transistors Applications

• General-purpose amplifier circuits
• Driver transistors in electronic systems
• Switching applications requiring low saturation voltage

Single Bipolar Transistors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against official Rohm documentation to ensure correct packaging configuration, as variants such as TR, CT, and DKR denote different tape-and-reel or cut-tape formats. Confirm RoHS compliance status and moisture sensitivity level requirements prior to integration into production workflows.

Single Bipolar Transistors Selection Notes

Select this component when a PNP transistor with 2 A current capacity and 30 V breakdown voltage is required in a compact surface-mount footprint. Ensure the application demands a transition frequency around 430 MHz and can accommodate the thermal characteristics of the TSMT3 package under expected load conditions.

Single Bipolar Transistors Part Context

This part belongs to the 2SAR512 series of PNP transistors from Rohm Semiconductor. It serves as the PNP counterpart to NPN devices like the 2SCR512R. The RTL suffix specifically indicates the standard taping packaging format used for automated surface-mount assembly processes.

Single Bipolar Transistors Replacement Considerations

The 2SAR512PHZGT100 is listed as a similar level replacement with the same pinout and package type (MPT3/SC-62), though it uses a SOT-89 form factor rather than TSMT3. Verify mechanical fit and thermal performance before substitution.
