Nexperia USA Inc. 2PA1576S,135

Overview

2PA1576S from Nexperia is a PNP general-purpose bipolar junction transistor in SOT323 (SC-70) package, rated for −50 V V_CEO, −150 mA I_C, and 270–560 h_FE at −6 V V_CE and −1 A I_C; used in low-voltage switching and small-signal amplification circuits on space-constrained PCBs.

For engineers reviewing the 2PA1576S datasheet, 2PA1576S pinout, 2PA1576S application, or 2PA1576S equivalent, key selection criteria include verified PNP polarity, SC-70 thermal resistance (625 K/W), collector capacitance (2.5 pF typ.), transition frequency (100 MHz), and compatibility with FR4 single-sided copper layouts.

Technical Context

This discrete PNP BJT operates in active, saturation, and cutoff regions with defined absolute maximum ratings: −60 V V_CBO, −6 V V_EBO, and 200 mW P_tot at T_amb ≤ 25 °C on standard FR4. Its low C_c (2.5 pF typ.) supports high-frequency small-signal amplification up to 100 MHz f_T.

DC current gain spans 270–560 under −6 V V_CE and −1 A I_C, with V_CE(sat) ≤ −500 mV at −50 mA I_C/−5 mA I_B. Cut-off currents are tightly specified: I_CBO ≤ −5 µA at T_j = 150 °C and I_EBO ≤ −100 nA at −4 V V_EB.

Key Specifications

Pinout & Package

FAQ

Is the 2PA1576S automotive-qualified?

No. The 2PA1576S is explicitly designated as non-automotive qualified per Nexperia's revision history and legal disclaimers. It is not tested or warranted for AEC-Q101 stress conditions, and its use in safety-critical or automotive systems is unsupported and at the customer's sole risk.

What is the maximum allowable junction temperature during operation?

The absolute maximum junction temperature (T_j) is 150 °C, as defined in the Limiting Values table. Operation above this threshold risks permanent device degradation. Derating is required above 25 °C ambient using the specified R_th(j-a) = 625 K/W on FR4 PCB.

Can the 2PA1576S replace an NPN transistor like the 2PC4081S?

No-it is a PNP device and cannot functionally substitute for the NPN 2PC4081S without circuit topology changes. They are complementary types: 2PC4081S serves as the NPN counterpart in matched pair designs, not a drop-in replacement.

Does the marking code "F%S" indicate RoHS compliance?

Yes. Nexperia's standard marking convention-including "F%S" on the 2PA1576S-corresponds to RoHS-compliant, lead-free devices manufactured after 2006. Full compliance documentation is available via Nexperia's product change notices and material declarations portal.
