DRC2115T0L

Overview

The DRC2115T0L is an NPN digital transistor manufactured by Panasonic Electronic Components. It features a built-in resistor and is housed in a Mini3-G3-B (SC-59A) surface-mount package with gull-wing terminals. The device supports a maximum collector current of 0.1 A and a collector-emitter voltage of 50 V. It has a minimum DC current gain (hFE) of 160. The component is RoHS compliant, halogen-free, and designed for single configuration applications.

Feature Summary

• Integrated base resistor simplifies circuit design by reducing external component count.
• NPN configuration provides standard switching functionality for logic interfacing.
• Miniature surface-mount package enables high-density PCB layout.

Applications

• Logic level shifting between microcontrollers and peripheral devices
• General-purpose signal switching in consumer electronics
• Interface circuits requiring compact discrete transistor solutions

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to confirm the exact tape-and-reel quantity and packaging format required for your assembly line. Confirm that the requested revision matches the latest Panasonic datasheet specifications to ensure compatibility with modern environmental compliance standards such as RoHS and halogen-free requirements.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a compact NPN switch with integrated biasing is required. Ensure the application voltage does not exceed 50 V and the load current remains within the 0.1 A limit. Consider the thermal dissipation capabilities of the Mini3 package if operating near maximum ratings in enclosed environments.

Part Context

This part belongs to Panasonic's series of resistor-biased transistors, which integrate internal resistors to simplify driver circuits. These components are commonly used in portable devices and industrial control systems where space constraints and simplified bill-of-materials are critical design factors.

Replacement Considerations

Check Panasonic's official substitution guide for equivalent parts within the DRC series. Verify pinout compatibility and electrical parameters against alternative manufacturers' offerings before implementation.
