DSC2501T0L

Single Bipolar Transistors Overview

The DSC2501T0L is a silicon NPN epitaxial planar transistor designed for low frequency amplification. It features a Mini3-G3-B-B package with a collector-emitter saturation voltage of 0.18 V to 0.40 V at 0.5 A. The device supports a maximum collector current of 0.5 A and a collector-emitter voltage of 20 V. It offers a forward current transfer ratio (hFE) ranging from 200 to 800, depending on the rank classification. The transition frequency is 150 MHz, and it operates within a junction temperature range up to 150 °C.

Single Bipolar Transistors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific hFE rank required for the application, as the DSC2501 series includes multiple classifications (R, S, T, and No-rank). Confirm that the Mini3-G3-B-B package dimensions align with the target PCB footprint. Ensure compliance with RoHS standards if operating in regulated regions. Check for any recent product change notifications regarding manufacturing updates.

Single Bipolar Transistors Selection Notes

Select this component when low saturation voltage and compact packaging are critical for low-frequency amplification tasks. Consider the hFE rank requirements carefully, as gain varies significantly between R, S, and T classifications. Evaluate thermal dissipation capabilities against the 200 mW power rating under expected ambient conditions. Verify compatibility with standard surface-mount assembly processes.

Single Bipolar Transistors Part Context

This part belongs to Panasonic's lineup of small signal bipolar transistors intended for general-purpose electronic circuits. The DSC2501 utilizes a silicon NPN epitaxial planar structure housed in an eco-friendly, halogen-free Mini3-G3-B-B package. It is engineered to facilitate equipment downsizing while maintaining reliable electrical characteristics for common consumer and industrial applications.

Single Bipolar Transistors Replacement Considerations

Consult official documentation for direct substitutes. Cross-referencing requires matching the Mini3-G3-B-B package, 20 V VCEO rating, and comparable hFE ranges. Verify pinout configurations to ensure Base-Emitter-Clector alignment matches the original design.
