Product details
Overview
2SA1182-GR,LF from Toshiba Electronic Devices & Storage Corporation is a silicon PNP epitaxial transistor in TO-236MOD (SC-59) package, rated for VCEO = −30 V, IC = −500 mA, and PC = 200 mW at Ta = 25°C. It delivers hFE(GR) = 200–400 at VCE = −1 V, IC = −100 mA and hFE(2) ≥ 70 at VCE = −6 V, IC = −400 mA, targeting audio frequency low-power amplifier and switching stages.
For engineers reviewing the 2SA1182-GR,LF datasheet, 2SA1182-GR,LF pinout, 2SA1182-GR,LF application, or 2SA1182-GR,LF equivalent, key selection criteria include its AEC-Q101 qualification, complementary pairing with 2SC2859, guaranteed hFE linearity at high current, low VCE(sat) of −0.25 V max, and SC-59 footprint compatibility with space-constrained analog driver designs.
Technical Context
This PNP bipolar junction transistor uses Toshiba's PCT (Planar Collector Technology) process to achieve stable hFE linearity across collector current-critical for low-distortion audio amplification and precise current-switching control. Its fT = 200 MHz enables stable operation up to mid-VHF range in RF driver or fast-switching applications.
The device supports dual thermal derating profiles: junction temperature up to 150°C when mounted on FR4 with specified copper pad layout (Note 2), or 125°C under general mounting conditions (Note 3). Cob = 13 pF at VCB = −6 V ensures predictable Miller effect behavior in common-emitter configurations.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCEO | −30 V: Maximum safe collector-emitter voltage before breakdown in common-emitter configuration. |
| IC | −500 mA: Continuous DC collector current rating; supports driver-stage loads up to 0.5 A. |
| hFE(GR) | 200–400: Guaranteed DC current gain range for GR-grade units at VCE = −1 V, IC = −100 mA-enables consistent bias design. |
| VCE(sat) | −0.25 V max at IC = −100 mA, IB = −10 mA: Low saturation voltage reduces conduction loss in switching applications. |
| fT | 200 MHz: Transition frequency confirms usable bandwidth for audio drivers and medium-speed digital switching. |
| Cob | 13 pF at VCB = −6 V: Output capacitance directly impacts high-frequency gain roll-off and stability margin. |
| AEC-Q101 | Qualified: Meets stress-test requirements for automotive electronic components per JESD22-A108. |
Pinout & Package
Package: TO-236MOD (JEDEC), identical to JEITA SC-59 and Toshiba 2-3F1A-3-pin surface-mount plastic package with 0.95 mm pitch, 2.9 mm × 1.3 mm footprint, and 0.012 g typical weight.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Emitter (E) | Current sink terminal | Connected to ground or lower-potential rail; carries full collector + base current in active mode. |
| Base (B) | Control input | Receives forward-biased current to regulate collector current; requires external current-limiting resistor in most linear applications. |
| Collector (C) | Output current source | Supplies load current when saturated or amplifies signal in common-emitter topology; connected to positive supply via load. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| hFE linearity at high current | hFE(2) ≥ 70 at VCE = −6 V, IC = −400 mA-reduces harmonic distortion in Class-A/B audio output stages. |
| Complementary pairing | Explicitly matched to 2SC2859 (NPN) for push-pull amplifier designs-simplifies symmetric biasing and thermal tracking. |
| AEC-Q101 qualification | Validated for automotive ambient temperature and reliability stress profiles-supports under-hood and infotainment system use. |
| Low VCE(sat) | −0.25 V max enables <100 mW conduction loss at 100 mA load-critical for thermally constrained PCB layouts. |
Applications
| Audio Amplifier Driver Stage | Automotive Infotainment Output Stage |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Driving 8 Ω speaker loads in compact portable audio systems with single-supply rails. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: PNP emitter-follower or common-emitter driver providing current gain and level-shifting. Use Value: hFE ≥ 200 ensures stable bias point across temperature; low VCE(sat) minimizes heat generation near sensitive analog circuitry. | Use Scenario: Output stage in OEM dashboard audio amplifiers operating in −40°C to +105°C ambient. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Complementary PNP switch in Class-AB output pair with 2SC2859. Use Value: AEC-Q101 qualification and 125°C Tj rating guarantee reliability under automotive thermal cycling and vibration stress. |
| Low-Power Switching Load Control | Industrial Sensor Signal Conditioning |

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Saturated switch turning on/off resistive/inductive loads via microcontroller GPIO. Use Value: IC = −500 mA and VCEO = −30 V support direct drive of 20 mA–500 mA loads without external buffer stages. | Use Scenario: Transimpedance amplifier stage converting photodiode current to voltage in optical sensor front-ends. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Active load or cascode element improving gain and bandwidth stability. Use Value: fT = 200 MHz and Cob = 13 pF allow >10 MHz closed-loop bandwidth while maintaining phase margin in feedback networks. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar PNP bipolar transistor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2SA1037AK-TR | hFE = 120–270 (Y grade), VCEO = −50 V, PC = 200 mW, same SC-59 package | Higher VCEO suits higher-voltage industrial controls; lower hFE spread may require tighter bias tuning | Select when extended voltage margin is required and GR-grade hFE consistency is not critical. |
| MMBT4403 | hFE = 100–300, VCEO = −40 V, PC = 310 mW, same SOT-23 footprint | Higher power dissipation and wider VCEO but no AEC-Q101 qualification or hFE(2) linearity spec | Choose for non-automotive cost-sensitive designs needing higher IC headroom and no automotive qualification. |
Compared with 2SA1182-GR,LF, the 2SA1037AK-TR offers greater voltage safety margin but less hFE linearity assurance at high current, while MMBT4403 provides higher power handling without automotive qualification-making 2SA1182-GR,LF the preferred choice where AEC-Q101 compliance and consistent high-current gain are mandatory.

FAQ
What is the hFE range for 2SA1182-GR,LF at VCE = −1 V and IC = −100 mA?
The 2SA1182-GR,LF has a guaranteed hFE range of 200–400 under those conditions, corresponding to the "GR" (Green) gain rank marked on the device. This specification is tested and binned during production, ensuring predictable DC current amplification for bias-critical analog circuits. The 2SA1182-GR,LF datasheet explicitly defines this range in Section 2, Electrical Characteristics.
Is 2SA1182-GR,LF qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, the 2SA1182-GR,LF is AEC-Q101 qualified per Note 1 in the official Toshiba datasheet. This qualification covers stress tests including temperature cycling, humidity bias, and mechanical shock-validating suitability for automotive infotainment, body control, and lighting modules. The 2SA1182-GR,LF meets these requirements as shipped with the "LF" suffix denoting lead-free and RoHS-compliant packaging.
What package type does 2SA1182-GR,LF use, and is it compatible with standard SMT reflow?
The 2SA1182-GR,LF uses the TO-236MOD package, also known as JEITA SC-59 and Toshiba 2-3F1A-a 3-pin, surface-mount plastic case with 0.95 mm lead pitch. It is fully compatible with standard SnPb and lead-free reflow profiles per J-STD-020, and its thermal profile aligns with FR4 board mounting guidelines specified in the 2SA1182-GR,LF datasheet.
How does 2SA1182-GR,LF complement 2SC2859 in circuit design?
The 2SA1182-GR,LF is explicitly designated as complementary to the NPN 2SC2859, sharing matched hFE ranges, VCEO/VCBO ratings, and thermal characteristics. This pairing enables symmetrical Class-AB audio output stages with balanced crossover distortion and thermal drift-verified in Toshiba reference designs using both 2SA1182-GR,LF and 2SC2859 in push-pull configurations.
What is the maximum allowable collector power dissipation for 2SA1182-GR,LF at 25°C ambient?
At Ta = 25°C on a standard FR4 board (25.4 mm × 25.4 mm × 1.6 mm with three 0.8 mm² Cu pads), the 2SA1182-GR,LF has a maximum collector power dissipation (PC) of 200 mW, as defined in Note 2 of the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. Derating begins at 1.6 mW/°C above 25°C ambient, reaching zero at Ta = 150°C per the PC–Ta curve in the 2SA1182-GR,LF datasheet.
