Product details
Overview
2SA1122CDTL-E from Renesas Electronics is a silicon PNP epitaxial transistor in MPAK (SC-59A) package, rated for –55 V VCEO, –100 mA IC, and 150 mW PC, with hFE of 250–500 (Grade D), used in low-frequency amplifier stages of consumer audio and signal conditioning circuits.
For engineers reviewing the 2SA1122CDTL-E datasheet, 2SA1122CDTL-E pinout, 2SA1122CDTL-E application, or 2SA1122CDTL-E equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed hFE range, VCEO/VCBO breakdown ratings, thermal derating curve compliance, and SC-59A footprint compatibility in discrete bias networks.
Technical Context
This PNP bipolar junction transistor operates in linear amplification mode with fixed-base biasing or emitter-follower configurations. Its VCE(sat) ≤ –0.5 V at IC = –10 mA / IB = –1 mA ensures low-loss switching in driver stages, while VBE ≤ –0.75 V at IC = –2 mA supports predictable base drive requirements.
The device exhibits Cob ≤ 50 pF at VCB = –10 V (f = 1 MHz), limiting high-frequency gain roll-off, and maintains hFE ≥ 250 up to IC = –10 mA, enabling stable small-signal gain in preamplifier topologies where DC bias stability is critical.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCEO | –55 V - supports rail-to-rail operation in ±30 V analog supply systems without breakdown |
| IC | –100 mA - sufficient for driving low-power speaker outputs or relay coils in discrete logic interfaces |
| PC | 150 mW - requires heatsinking above ~60 mW dissipation in ambient >50°C per derating curve |
| hFE | 250–500 (Grade D) - enables consistent current gain across production lots in amplifier feedback loops |
| VCE(sat) | ≤ –0.5 V - minimizes voltage drop and power loss in saturated switch applications |
| Tj | 150°C - allows operation in enclosed industrial enclosures with limited airflow |
Pinout & Package
Package: MPAK (SC-59A), 3-pin surface-mount plastic package with gull-wing leads, JEITA code PLSP0003ZB-A, mass 0.011 g, footprint compatible with standard SC-59 pick-and-place tooling.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Emitter | Current sink node; connects to most negative potential in PNP amplifier stage |
| 2 | Base | Control input; requires current-limited drive to avoid exceeding IB = –1 mA max |
| 3 | Collector | Output node; ties to load or next-stage input; reverse-biased under normal operation |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Guaranteed hFE grade | 250–500 (D-grade marking "CD") - eliminates binning during assembly for consistent gain matching |
| Low VCE(sat) | ≤ –0.5 V at rated IC/IB - reduces conduction loss in Class-A amplifier output stages |
| High VCEO rating | –55 V - enables use in higher-voltage analog rails without cascading transistors |
| Thermal robustness | Tj = 150°C with defined derating curve - supports operation in sealed consumer enclosures |
| JEDEC-compliant footprint | SC-59A (MPAK) - ensures compatibility with automated SMT placement and reflow profiles |
Applications
| Audio Preamp Stage | Signal Level Shifter |

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Switch-mode PNP driver with base resistor network controlling saturation depth. Use Value: 150 mW PC rating and –55 V VCEO allow direct connection to 24 V DC control rails with safety margin. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar PNP low-frequency amplifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2SA1037AK-TE12L | hFE = 120–270 (lower gain range), VCEO = –50 V, same SC-59A package | Suitable for cost-sensitive designs where gain tolerance >±20% is acceptable | Select when lower gain and reduced voltage margin are acceptable trade-offs for extended availability |
| BC807-40/DG | hFE = 250–630 (wider spread), VCEO = –45 V, SOT-23 package (smaller footprint) | Requires PCB redesign due to different pad layout; better suited for space-constrained layouts | Choose only if board real estate is constrained and SOT-23 reflow profile is already qualified |
Compared with 2SA1122CDTL-E, the 2SA1037AK-TE12L offers lower cost but reduced voltage headroom and gain consistency, while the BC807-40/DG provides higher maximum hFE at the expense of tighter layout constraints and lower breakdown rating.

FAQ
What is the hFE range guaranteed for the 2SA1122CDTL-E?
The 2SA1122CDTL-E is Grade D, marked "CD", with a guaranteed DC current transfer ratio hFE of 250 to 500 at VCE = –12 V and IC = –2 mA. This range is binned and verified per Renesas' datasheet Rev.2.00, ensuring predictable gain behavior in amplifier feedback networks without post-assembly adjustment.
Is the 2SA1122CDTL-E RoHS compliant?
Yes, the 2SA1122CDTL-E complies with the EU RoHS Directive, as confirmed by Renesas Electronics' environmental compliance documentation. The device contains no lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, polybrominated biphenyls (PBB), or polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDE), and is suitable for use in environmentally regulated consumer electronics.
What is the maximum allowable collector power dissipation for the 2SA1122CDTL-E at 75°C ambient?
Per the Maximum Collector Dissipation Curve on page 4 of the 2SA1122 datasheet, the 2SA1122CDTL-E must be derated linearly above 25°C. At Ta = 75°C, allowable PC drops to approximately 100 mW - calculated as 150 mW × (1 – (75 – 25)/125) - requiring careful thermal layout or reduced bias current in sustained operation.
Can the 2SA1122CDTL-E replace the 2SA1122CCTL-E in the same PCB layout?
Yes, the 2SA1122CDTL-E and 2SA1122CCTL-E share identical MPAK (SC-59A) package dimensions, pinout, and soldering footprint. The only difference is hFE grading: "CC" denotes 160–320, while "CD" specifies 250–500. No PCB changes are required for substitution, provided the circuit functions within the higher gain range.
What is the typical Cob (collector output capacitance) of the 2SA1122CDTL-E at VCB = –10 V?
The typical collector output capacitance Cob of the 2SA1122CDTL-E is 15 pF at VCB = –10 V and f = 1 MHz, as shown in the "Collector Output Capacitance vs. Collector to Base Voltage" graph on page 3 of the datasheet. This value directly impacts high-frequency roll-off in amplifier stages and should be included in AC small-signal modeling.
