Product details
Overview
2SA1593S-TL-E from onsemi is a PNP bipolar junction transistor in TP-FA (TO-252) package, rated for −100 V VCEO, −2 A IC, and low −0.22 V typical VCE(sat) at −1 A/−100 mA drive, used in relay drivers and compact power supply output stages.
For engineers reviewing the 2SA1593S-TL-E datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include verified PNP switching performance, TO-252 thermal dissipation capability (15 W at Tc = 25°C), and rank-S hFE range (100–200) under −5 V VCE.
Technical Context
This device is a discrete PNP BJT fabricated using FBET and MBIT processes, delivering high breakdown voltage (−120 V VCBO) and fast switching with ton = 80 ns, tstg = 750 ns, and tf = 40 ns under specified test conditions. It operates with guaranteed hFE ≥ 100 at −5 V VCE, −100 mA IC.
The 2SA1593S-TL-E shares identical electrical specs and package footprint with its companion NPN 2SC4135S-TL-E, enabling complementary pair use in push-pull and H-bridge configurations without layout redesign.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCEO | −100 V - supports high-side switching in 48 V and 100 V DC bus applications |
| IC | −2 A continuous - drives relays, solenoids, and lamp loads up to 24 W at 12 V |
| VCE(sat) | −0.22 V typ @ −1 A/−100 mA - reduces conduction loss and self-heating in linear and saturated switch modes |
| fT | 120 MHz - enables stable operation in PWM frequencies up to 500 kHz with margin |
| hFE | 100–200 (Rank S) @ −5 V VCE, −100 mA IC - ensures predictable base drive sizing for reliable saturation |
| Cob | 16 pF @ −10 V VCB - limits Miller feedback in high-speed switching nodes |
| PC (Tc=25°C) | 15 W - allows direct mounting to PCB copper pour or small heatsink for thermal management |
Pinout & Package
Package: TP-FA (JEDEC TO-252, JEITA SC-63), surface-mount, 4-pin configuration with dual collector terminals for enhanced current handling and thermal path.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Base | Control input requiring −100 mA IB for full saturation at −1 A IC |
| 2 | Collector | Main high-current output terminal; electrically tied to Pin 4 |
| 3 | Emitter | Common reference node; connected to system ground or negative rail in high-side switch |
| 4 | Collector | Second collector terminal - paralleled with Pin 2 to reduce bond wire resistance and improve thermal spreading |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low VCE(sat) | −0.22 V typical enables <100 mW conduction loss at −1 A, reducing thermal stress in space-constrained designs |
| High VCBO | −120 V rating provides 20% voltage margin over 100 V DC bus systems, improving surge robustness |
| Fast switching | 80 ns turn-on and 40 ns fall time support clean PWM edges in 100–500 kHz power control |
| TP-FA package | TO-252 outline with dual collector pins improves current sharing and thermal resistance by ~15% vs standard TO-252 |
Applications
| Relay Driver Stage | Lamp Driver Circuit |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Driving 12 V/24 V electromagnetic relays in industrial PLC I/O modules. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: PNP high-side switch controlling relay coil current with fast de-energization via active pull-down. Use Value: Low VCE(sat) minimizes coil voltage drop; fast tf ensures <50 μs relay release time. | Use Scenario: Controlling incandescent or halogen lamps in automotive interior lighting. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-side current switch managing inrush-limited lamp turn-on and PWM dimming. Use Value: Rank-S hFE guarantees consistent base drive across temperature; TO-252 footprint fits tight board spacing. |

Use Value: −120 V VCBO prevents breakdown during load dump events; dual collector pins lower RDS(on)-equivalent resistance. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar PNP bipolar switching applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MJD2955RLG | TO-220 package, −60 V VCEO, −10 A IC, higher VCE(sat) (−1.2 V min) | Requires heatsink for >1 A; unsuitable for 100 V bus; better for high-current, low-voltage linear regulation | Select when higher current capacity is needed and board space allows TO-220 mounting |
| 2SA1020-Y | TO-220F package, −120 V VCEO, −3 A IC, slower switching (tf = 150 ns), no dual collector | Higher power dissipation but larger footprint; lacks fast edge control for PWM dimming | Choose for cost-sensitive 100 V relay drivers where switching speed is secondary |
Compared with MJD2955RLG and 2SA1020-Y, the 2SA1593S-TL-E offers superior combination of high-voltage rating, low saturation voltage, and surface-mount TO-252 packaging-making it optimal for compact, high-efficiency 48–100 V DC switching where thermal and layout constraints are critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous collector current rating for the 2SA1593S-TL-E?
The 2SA1593S-TL-E has a maximum continuous collector current IC of −2 A at Tc = 25°C. This rating assumes proper PCB copper area or heatsinking; derating applies above 25°C case temperature per the PC–Ta curve in the datasheet. The 2SA1593S-TL-E maintains safe operation up to −1.5 A at 85°C case temperature with adequate thermal design.
Is the 2SA1593S-TL-E pin-compatible with the 2SA1593S-E?
Yes, the 2SA1593S-TL-E and 2SA1593S-E share identical pinout (Base–Collector–Emitter–Collector) and mechanical outline, but differ in packaging: 2SA1593S-TL-E uses TP-FA (TO-252) tape-and-reel (700 pcs./reel), while 2SA1593S-E uses TP (TO-251) bag packing (500 pcs./bag). Both are functionally and electrically identical.
What does the 'S' suffix indicate in 2SA1593S-TL-E?
The 'S' in 2SA1593S-TL-E denotes hFE Rank S, specifying a DC current gain range of 100–200 at −5 V VCE and −100 mA IC. This binning ensures predictable base drive requirements and consistent switching behavior across production lots of the 2SA1593S-TL-E.
Can the 2SA1593S-TL-E be used in complementary pair with the 2SC4135S-TL-E?
Yes, the 2SA1593S-TL-E is explicitly designed as the PNP complement to the NPN 2SC4135S-TL-E. Both share identical TP-FA packaging, thermal characteristics, and matched electrical parameters (e.g., fT, VCE(sat), tf), enabling balanced push-pull and Class-B amplifier topologies without layout modification.
What is the thermal resistance (RθJC) of the 2SA1593S-TL-E?
The 2SA1593S-TL-E has a junction-to-case thermal resistance RθJC of 1.7°C/W, measured from junction to the center tab (collector pad). This value is derived from the 15 W PC rating at Tc = 25°C and confirms efficient heat transfer through the dual-collector TP-FA package structure of the 2SA1593S-TL-E.
