2SB1215T-N-TL-E

Single Bipolar Transistors Overview

The onsemi 2SB1215T-N-TL-E is a PNP bipolar junction transistor (BJT) designed for high-current switching applications. It features a collector-emitter saturation voltage of low magnitude and excellent hFE linearity, supporting fast switching times and high transition frequency (fT). The device is housed in a small TP-FA package, facilitating compact circuit designs. Key electrical ratings include a maximum collector current of -3A and a collector-emitter breakdown voltage of -100V. These characteristics make it suitable for relay drivers, high-speed inverters, converters, and general high-current switching tasks where efficient power management and rapid response are required.

Single Bipolar Transistors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'N-TL-E' against official datasheets to confirm tape-and-reel packaging and halogen-free compliance status. Ensure compatibility with existing footprint designs as the TP-FA package dimensions must match PCB layout requirements. Cross-reference manufacturer documentation for any updates regarding RoHS or REACH regulatory adherence prior to final procurement decisions.

Single Bipolar Transistors Selection Notes

Select this component when designing circuits requiring a PNP transistor with -100V breakdown and -3A continuous current capability. The low VCE(sat) makes it ideal for minimizing heat generation in high-efficiency power stages. Consider the small form factor if space constraints are critical. Evaluate thermal management needs based on the expected duty cycle and ambient temperature conditions to ensure reliable operation within the specified junction temperature range.

Single Bipolar Transistors Part Context

This part belongs to the family of silicon PNP power transistors from onsemi, often paired with NPN counterparts like the 2SD1815 for complementary push-pull configurations. The series is engineered for general-purpose high-current switching, offering a balance between speed, linearity, and physical size. It serves as a standard solution for legacy and modern designs requiring robust bipolar transistor performance in compact enclosures.

Single Bipolar Transistors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes may include the 2SB1215 without the specific reel suffix if packaging differences are acceptable. Verify pinout compatibility and electrical parameters such as VCEO and IC against alternative PNP transistors from other manufacturers. Ensure that any replacement maintains the required switching speed and saturation voltage characteristics for the specific application.
