2SCR502E3TL

Single Bipolar Transistors Overview

The 2SCR502E3TL is an NPN general-purpose transistor from ROHM Semiconductor, housed in a SOT-416 (EMT3) surface-mount package. It features a collector-emitter voltage of 30V and a continuous collector current of 0.5A. The device offers a DC current gain (hFE) ranging from 200 to 500 at IC=100mA. Key electrical characteristics include a low collector-emitter saturation voltage of 300mV maximum at IC=200mA and IB=10mA. It supports a junction temperature up to 150°C and is supplied in tape-and-reel packaging with 3000 units per reel.

Single Bipolar Transistors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix TL against the latest official datasheet to confirm taping specifications and reel dimensions. Ensure the component meets the required ambient operating conditions and power derating curves before finalizing procurement. Confirm RoHS compliance status as indicated in the most recent documentation version.

Single Bipolar Transistors Selection Notes

Select this component for designs requiring a compact NPN transistor with moderate current handling and high gain. Compare the SOT-416 footprint against board space constraints. Evaluate the thermal dissipation requirements against the 150mW rating at 25°C ambient temperature. Consider the complementary 2SAR502E3 if a matched pair is needed for push-pull configurations.

Single Bipolar Transistors Part Context

This part belongs to ROHM's series of general-purpose bipolar junction transistors. It shares core electrical parameters with the 2SCR502U3, which utilizes a smaller SOT-323 package. Both variants are designed for standard electronic equipment applications such as audio, office automation, and home appliances, offering reliable performance in low-power signal amplification tasks.

Single Bipolar Transistors Replacement Considerations

The 2SCR502U3 serves as a pin-compatible alternative with identical electrical ratings but uses a SOT-323 package. Designers must verify that the PCB land pattern accommodates the physical dimension differences between the EMT3 and UMT3 packages before substitution.
