2SB1215S-H

Single Bipolar Transistors Overview

The onsemi 2SB1215S-H is a PNP bipolar junction transistor rated for 100V collector-emitter voltage and 3A continuous collector current. It utilizes the TP package (SC-64/TO-251) with a maximum power dissipation of 2W at 25°C case temperature. The device features a low collector-to-emitter saturation voltage, high DC current gain ranging from 140 to 400 depending on rank, and a gain-bandwidth product of 180MHz. Switching characteristics include a turn-on time of 100ns and fall time of 50ns. The component is compliant with halogen-free manufacturing standards.

Single Bipolar Transistors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix 'H' confirms halogen-free status as documented in the official datasheet. Ensure the TP package type matches the required footprint. Confirm that the requested quantity aligns with the standard minimum packing quantity of 500 pieces per bag specified by the manufacturer.

Single Bipolar Transistors Selection Notes

Select this component when designing circuits requiring a PNP transistor with a 100V breakdown voltage and up to 3A load capacity. Consider the low VCE(sat) specification for minimizing conduction losses in high-efficiency designs. Evaluate the thermal derating curves if operating above 25°C ambient or without adequate heatsinking.

Single Bipolar Transistors Part Context

This part belongs to the 2SB1215/2SD1815 series of single NPN/PNP bipolar transistors manufactured by onsemi. The complementary NPN device is the 2SD1815. Both devices share identical electrical ratings and are designed for compact, slim application sets due to their small-sized plastic packages.

Single Bipolar Transistors Replacement Considerations

Direct functional substitutes within the same family include the 2SB1215T-H (TO-252 package) or non-halogenated variants like the 2SB1215S-E. Verify pinout compatibility and package dimensions before substitution.
