Product details
Overview
2SA1317S-AC from ON Semiconductor is a PNP epitaxial planar silicon transistor designed for audio frequency amplification stages, featuring VCEO = −50 V, IC = −150 mA, hFE = 120–270 (at IC = −2 mA, VCE = −6 V), fT = 80 MHz, and packaged in the small-outline SOT-23 surface-mount package. It serves as a complementary pair with 2SC3330 in AF amplifier circuits.
For engineers reviewing the 2SA1317S-AC datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include DC current gain range, collector-emitter breakdown voltage, transition frequency, thermal resistance, and SOT-23 footprint compatibility in low-power audio biasing and preamplifier designs.
Technical Context
This PNP transistor uses an epitaxial planar structure to achieve stable hFE across temperature and consistent switching behavior at audio frequencies. Its VCEO rating of −50 V supports operation in single-supply or split-rail AF amplifier rails up to ±24 V.
The device is characterized at IC = −2 mA and VCE = −6 V for hFE, and its fT of 80 MHz ensures adequate bandwidth for wideband AF signal handling without high-frequency roll-off in preamp stages.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCEO | −50 V: Maximum reverse-biased collector-emitter voltage before breakdown; enables use in ±24 V rail audio stages. |
| IC | −150 mA: Continuous collector current rating; suitable for low-power AF output and driver stages. |
| hFE | 120–270 @ IC = −2 mA, VCE = −6 V: DC current gain range defines bias stability and stage gain predictability. |
| fT | 80 MHz: Transition frequency ensures flat frequency response up to 20 kHz with margin for harmonics. |
| PD | 200 mW @ TA = 25°C: Power dissipation limit constrains thermal design in SOT-23 footprint. |
| RθJA | 375°C/W: Junction-to-ambient thermal resistance requires minimal copper pour for safe operation at full IC. |
Pinout & Package
2SA1317S-AC is housed in the SOT-23 (TO-236) plastic surface-mount package with standard pin assignment: Emitter (Pin 1), Base (Pin 2), Collector (Pin 3).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 | Emitter | Current sink terminal; connected to ground or negative rail in common-emitter AF amplifier configurations. |
| Pin 2 | Base | Control input for forward-biased junction; requires current-limiting resistor for stable biasing. |
| Pin 3 | Collector | Output node; connects to load resistor or next-stage coupling capacitor in single-ended AF amplifiers. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Complementary NPN pairing | Matched with 2SC3330 for push-pull or differential AF stages with balanced gain and offset. |
| High fT | 80 MHz enables full-audio-band amplification without phase shift or attenuation at 20 kHz. |
| Low VCE(sat) | −0.3 V @ IC = −100 mA, IB = −10 mA reduces power loss and heat generation in Class-A drivers. |
| SOT-23 footprint | Standardized 3-pin SMT package allows automated placement and reflow compatibility with mainstream PCB assembly lines. |
Applications
| Audio Preamplifier Stage | Low-Power Tone Control Circuit |

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: PNP transistor configured in common-emitter topology to provide voltage gain and impedance matching. Use Value: Stable hFE range and low noise performance ensure clean signal amplification without distortion at low input levels. | Use Scenario: Active filter section in battery-powered equalizers or headphone amplifiers with adjustable bass/treble response. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Gain-setting element in feedback path of op-amp-based active filters. Use Value: Precise hFE tolerance and low VCE(sat) maintain filter Q-factor and center frequency accuracy across supply voltage variation. |
| Complementary Push-Pull Output | DC Bias Generator for Class-AB Amplifiers |
Use Scenario: Output stage in compact mono audio amplifiers driving 8 Ω speakers with ≤100 mW output power. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: PNP half of complementary pair with 2SC3330, delivering current during negative half-cycle of audio waveform. Use Value: Matched fT and VCE(sat) minimize crossover distortion and improve THD performance below 0.5%. | Use Scenario: Quiescent current setting network in discrete Class-AB power amplifiers using external transistors. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Constant-current source element establishing stable bias point for output transistors. Use Value: Tight hFE binning (120–270) ensures repeatable bias current across production units and temperature. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar PNP audio transistor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2SA1037AK-TL-E | VCEO = −60 V, hFE = 120–270, same SOT-23 package but higher breakdown voltage. | Supports wider supply range (±30 V); better suited for line-level driver stages requiring headroom. | Select when higher VCEO margin is needed without changing layout. |
| BC807-25 | VCEO = −45 V, hFE = 160–400, SOT-23 package, lower fT (100 MHz typical but not guaranteed over full range). | Broader hFE spread affects bias stability; requires tighter binning or feedback compensation. | Choose for cost-sensitive consumer audio where gain variation is acceptable. |
Compared with 2SA1317S-AC, 2SA1037AK-TL-E offers enhanced voltage headroom while maintaining identical footprint and gain range, whereas BC807-25 trades guaranteed fT and tighter hFE control for wider gain spread and reduced voltage margin-impacting bias predictability in precision AF stages.

FAQ
What is the maximum collector-emitter voltage rating for the 2SA1317S-AC?
The 2SA1317S-AC has a maximum collector-emitter voltage rating (VCEO) of −50 V. This specification defines the highest reverse-biased voltage the transistor can withstand between collector and emitter with the base open. Exceeding this value risks avalanche breakdown and permanent damage. The 2SA1317S-AC must be operated within this limit in all audio amplifier configurations, especially in split-rail or high-headroom single-supply designs.
Is the 2SA1317S-AC pin-compatible with the 2SC3330 NPN transistor?
No-the 2SA1317S-AC (PNP) and 2SC3330 (NPN) share the same SOT-23 package and complementary electrical characteristics, but their pinouts differ: 2SA1317S-AC uses E-B-C (Pin 1–2–3), while 2SC3330 uses E-B-C in reversed polarity (C-B-E). Direct substitution without board revision is not possible. The 2SA1317S-AC is intended for use alongside 2SC3330 in matched-pair circuits, not as a drop-in replacement.
What is the typical transition frequency (fT) of the 2SA1317S-AC and why does it matter?
The 2SA1317S-AC has a specified transition frequency (fT) of 80 MHz. This parameter indicates the frequency at which the transistor's small-signal current gain drops to unity. For audio applications, fT provides critical bandwidth margin-ensuring flat gain and minimal phase shift across the full 20 Hz–20 kHz audible spectrum. The 2SA1317S-AC's 80 MHz fT supports clean amplification even with harmonic content and transient peaks.
Can the 2SA1317S-AC be used in switching applications?
The 2SA1317S-AC is characterized and optimized for linear audio frequency amplification-not high-speed switching. While it can operate in saturation/active regions, its specified parameters (e.g., fT, VCE(sat), hFE) are validated under AF analog conditions. Switching speed, storage time, and turn-off characteristics are not guaranteed. For dedicated switching, ON Semiconductor recommends devices like the NSS12201MR6T1. Use the 2SA1317S-AC only in linear amplifier roles per its datasheet validation.
What thermal considerations apply when using the 2SA1317S-AC at its maximum rated current?
At its maximum continuous collector current (IC = −150 mA), the 2SA1317S-AC dissipates significant power in the SOT-23 package. With RθJA = 375°C/W, even 100 mW results in ~37.5°C junction rise above ambient. To avoid exceeding the 150°C max junction temperature, limit duty cycle, reduce ambient temperature, or add localized copper pour. Derating is essential-operation near IC = −150 mA should only occur with verified thermal margin in the final 2SA1317S-AC layout.
