2SD2696T2L

Overview

The 2SD2696T2L is an NPN silicon epitaxial planar transistor manufactured by ROHM Semiconductor. It belongs to the low-frequency amplification and switching category, designed for compact surface-mount applications. The device features a VMT3 package with dimensions of 1.2 mm x 0.8 mm x 0.4 mm, enabling high-density PCB layouts. Key electrical characteristics include a collector-emitter voltage (VCEO) of 50 V and a continuous collector current (IC) of 400 mA. The component exhibits a low collector saturation voltage, enhancing efficiency in switching circuits. It operates within a temperature range of -55°C to +150°C and supports tape-and-reel packaging for automated assembly.

Procurement Notes

Verify the complete part number including the T2L suffix to ensure correct tape-and-reel packaging configuration. Confirm RoHS compliance status through official manufacturer documentation prior to integration. Cross-reference the VMT3 package outline with your PCB footprint library to guarantee mechanical compatibility. Validate thermal management requirements against the specified power dissipation limits under actual operating conditions.

Selection Notes

Select this component when space constraints require a smaller footprint than standard 2012 packages while maintaining 400 mA current handling capability. The low saturation voltage makes it suitable for battery-powered or efficiency-sensitive designs. Ensure the application voltage does not exceed the 50 V collector-emitter rating. Consider the VMT3 package dimensions during layout planning to avoid clearance issues with adjacent components.

Part Context

This transistor is part of ROHM's lineup of miniaturized bipolar junction transistors designed for modern electronics requiring reduced board space. The 2SD2696 series specifically targets applications where traditional larger packages are impractical. It serves as a direct replacement for older generation transistors in similar roles, offering improved density without sacrificing current capacity or voltage ratings.
