2SAR642PHZGT100

Single Bipolar Transistors Overview

The 2SAR642PHZGT100 is a PNP bipolar junction transistor manufactured by ROHM Semiconductor, designed for automotive gate driver applications. It features a collector-emitter voltage (VCEO) of -30 V and a continuous collector current (IC) of -3 A. The device operates with a power dissipation (PC) of 0.5 W in an SOT-89-3 package. Key electrical parameters include a DC current gain (hFE) ranging from 200 to 500 at IC = -500 mA and VCE = -2 V. It exhibits a collector-emitter saturation voltage (VCE(sat)) of 400 mV max at IC/IB = -1A/-50mA and a transition frequency (fT) of 240 MHz. The component complies with AEC-Q101 standards and supports a maximum operating temperature of +150°C.

Single Bipolar Transistors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's latest documentation to ensure correct packaging configuration. Confirm that the component meets the required AEC-Q101 automotive grade specifications for your target application environment. Check for any pending Product Change Notices (PCN) regarding material or process updates before finalizing procurement plans.

Single Bipolar Transistors Selection Notes

Select this component when a PNP transistor with high current handling (-3 A) and low saturation voltage is required in an SOT-89 package. Ensure the design accommodates the 0.5 W power dissipation limit and the -30 V voltage rating. Consider the 240 MHz transition frequency for switching speed requirements in automotive gate drive scenarios.

Single Bipolar Transistors Part Context

This part belongs to the 2SAR series of PNP transistors from ROHM Semiconductor, specifically engineered for automotive use. It shares the SOT-89 (MPT3) package form factor with other middle-power devices in the lineup but is distinguished by its specific -30 V / -3 A rating and low VCE(sat) characteristics tailored for gate driver efficiency.

Single Bipolar Transistors Replacement Considerations

The 2SAR642PHZG is listed as a similar level replacement with the same pinout and package. Verify compatibility with the GT100 tape-and-reel packaging specification if substituting.
