Product details
Overview
2SA2125-TD-H from onsemi is a PNP bipolar junction transistor designed for high-current switching in power control circuits, featuring −50 V VCEO, −3 A IC, low −125 mV VCE(sat) at −1 A/−50 mA, SOT-89 package, and halogen-free construction. It is used in DC-DC converters, motor drivers, and lamp drivers where low saturation voltage and robust pulse current handling are required.
For engineers reviewing the 2SA2125-TD-H datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include verified PNP polarity, confirmed SOT-89 terminal assignment (Base–Collector–Emitter), guaranteed −50 V breakdown rating, and documented 390 MHz fT for high-speed switching performance.
Technical Context
This device employs onsemi's MBIT process to achieve low VCE(sat) and high-speed switching with 30 ns ton, 230 ns tstg, and 18 ns tf. Its PNP configuration supports high-side switching in industrial power stages, with validated operation up to Tj = 150°C and thermal dissipation of 3.5 W at TC = 25°C on ceramic substrate.
The transistor delivers hFE = 200–560 at VCE = −2 V and IC = −100 mA, and maintains stable gain across temperature (−25°C to +75°C). Cob = 24 pF at VCB = −10 V enables predictable RF behavior in switching node applications.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCEO | −50 V - Ensures safe operation in 24–48 V DC bus switching applications without breakdown. |
| IC | −3 A continuous - Supports motor and relay loads requiring sustained current drive. |
| VCE(sat) | −125 mV @ −1 A/−50 mA - Minimizes conduction loss and heat generation in high-duty-cycle switches. |
| fT | 390 MHz - Enables clean edge transitions in PWM frequencies up to ~50 MHz with margin. |
| hFE | 200–560 - Provides stable current amplification for base-drive design across production lots. |
| Cob | 24 pF @ VCB = −10 V - Limits Miller effect during turn-off, improving switching consistency. |
| PC (TC = 25°C) | 3.5 W - Allows direct mounting on ceramic substrates for thermally demanding industrial PCBs. |
Pinout & Package
SOT-89 / PCP-1 package (4.50 × 2.50 × 1.50 mm, 1.50 mm pitch), surface-mount, three-terminal plastic case (Case 419AU), with exposed collector tab for thermal conduction.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Base | Control input requiring −50 mA typical drive for full saturation at −2 A load. |
| 2 | Collector | Main current sink terminal; electrically connected to exposed metal tab for heatsinking. |
| 3 | Emitter | Common reference node; tied to system ground or high-side rail return path in PNP topology. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low VCE(sat) | −125 mV at −1 A ensures <0.125 W conduction loss per device in 12 V systems. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar PNP high-current switching applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2SA2125-TD-E | Pb-free but not halogen-free; identical electrical specs and SOT-89 mechanical form. | No difference in circuit function or layout; differs only in material compliance documentation. | Select when RoHS Pb-free compliance suffices and halogen-free certification is not mandated. |
| 2SC5964-TD-H | NPN complement with matching VCEO = 50 V, IC = 3 A, fT = 380 MHz, and same SOT-89 package. | Used in low-side switching or complementary pair configurations; not a drop-in replacement. | Choose for NPN-side matching in push-pull or totem-pole topologies requiring symmetrical performance. |
Compared with 2SA2125-TD-E, the -TD-H variant adds halogen-free certification without electrical trade-offs; compared with 2SC5964-TD-H, it provides PNP polarity essential for high-side switching where NPN cannot be substituted without circuit rework.

FAQ
What is the pin configuration of the 2SA2125-TD-H?
The 2SA2125-TD-H uses SOT-89 package with pin 1 = Base, pin 2 = Collector (connected to exposed tab), and pin 3 = Emitter. This layout is confirmed in the official onsemi datasheet (Order Number 2SA2125/D, page 2) and matches Case 419AU mechanical outline.
Is the 2SA2125-TD-H halogen-free and RoHS compliant?
Yes, the 2SA2125-TD-H is both halogen-free and RoHS compliant, as explicitly stated in the onsemi ordering information table (page 6): "Pb-Free & Halogen Free". This satisfies IEC 61249-2-21 and EU Directive 2011/65/EU requirements.
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for the 2SA2125-TD-H?
The 2SA2125-TD-H has a maximum junction temperature (Tj) rating of 150°C, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table (page 1) of the official datasheet. This allows reliable operation in enclosed industrial enclosures with ambient temperatures up to 85°C when properly heatsinked.
Can the 2SA2125-TD-H replace the 2SA2125-TD-E in existing designs?
Yes, the 2SA2125-TD-H is a direct replacement for the 2SA2125-TD-E in all electrical and mechanical respects; the only difference is halogen-free material content. No PCB or schematic changes are needed-both share identical SOT-89 footprint, pinout, and electrical specifications.
What is the typical gain-bandwidth product (fT) of the 2SA2125-TD-H?
The typical fT of the 2SA2125-TD-H is 390 MHz, measured at VCE = −10 V and IC = −500 mA (Electrical Characteristics table, page 2). This value is confirmed across production lots and supports high-frequency switching applications up to 50 MHz with adequate phase margin.
