Product details
Overview
2SB1121S-TD-E from onsemi is a PNP bipolar junction transistor (BJT) designed for medium-power switching and linear amplification in compact hybrid ICs. It features VCEO = −25 V, IC = −2 A continuous, VCE(sat) = −0.35 V (typ) at IC = −1.5 A / IB = −75 mA, fT = 150 MHz, and operates up to Tj = 150 °C - used in relay drivers and voltage regulators.
For engineers reviewing the 2SB1121S-TD-E datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include low saturation voltage, wide SOA, fast switching (ton = 60 ns, tf = 25 ns), PCP package thermal performance, and hFE rank S (140–280 @ IC = −100 mA).
Technical Context
This PNP BJT employs FBET and MBIT processes to achieve low VCE(sat) and high current capability in a thermally efficient PCP (SC-62/SOT-89/TO-243) package. Its large safe operating area (SOA) supports pulsed ICP = −5 A, enabling robust operation in inductive load switching.
With fT = 150 MHz and Cob = 32 pF, the 2SB1121S-TD-E delivers high-frequency switching performance while maintaining DC gain stability: hFE1 = 140–400 (rank-dependent) at IC = −100 mA and hFE2 = 65 min at IC = −1.5 A.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCEO | −25 V - maximum collector-emitter blocking voltage under open-base conditions; defines usable supply rail headroom in switching applications |
| IC (cont.) | −2 A - continuous collector current rating; sets steady-state power handling limit with appropriate heatsinking |
| VCE(sat) | −0.35 V (typ) at IC = −1.5 A / IB = −75 mA - enables <1.1 W conduction loss per device in high-current switch mode |
| fT | 150 MHz - usable bandwidth for small-signal amplification or high-speed digital switching up to ~10–20 MHz |
| ton/tf | 60 ns / 25 ns - supports PWM frequencies >5 MHz with minimal switching loss in relay/lamp driver stages |
| PC (ceramic) | 1.3 W - thermal dissipation capacity when mounted on 250 mm² × 0.8 mm ceramic substrate; enables compact layout without forced cooling |
| hFE Rank S | 140–280 @ VCE = −2 V, IC = −100 mA - ensures predictable base drive requirements in linear regulator error amplifiers |
Pinout & Package
Package: PCP (JEITA SC-62 / JEDEC TO-243AA / industry-standard SOT-89). Thermally enhanced plastic case with exposed emitter pad for improved heat transfer.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (Base) | Current-controlled input node | Receives forward-biased base current to saturate or bias the PNP; requires series resistor for current limiting in digital drive |
| 2 (Collector) | Main current sink terminal | Connected to load return path; carries full switched current; electrically tied to exposed metal tab in PCP package |
| 3 (Emitter) | Common reference and current source | Typically connected to positive rail in high-side switch configuration; serves as thermal and electrical reference point |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low VCE(sat) | −0.35 V typ at IC = −1.5 A reduces conduction loss by >40% vs. standard PNP transistors in 24 V relay drivers |
| Wide SOA | Supports −5 A pulsed current with no second breakdown - critical for driving inductive loads like solenoids and contactors |
| Fast switching | 60 ns turn-on and 25 ns fall time enable clean edge transitions in 1–5 MHz PWM lamp dimming circuits |
| Ultrasmall PCP package | 3.0 × 1.5 × 1.0 mm footprint allows ≥30% higher component density than TO-92 in hybrid power modules |
| High fT | 150 MHz gain-bandwidth supports stable feedback in discrete LDO pass transistor configurations up to 100 kHz loop bandwidth |
Applications
| Relay Drivers | Voltage Regulators |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Driving 12–24 V DC electromagnetic relays in industrial PLC output modules with 100 ms coil energization cycles. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-side PNP switch controlling relay coil current path to ground; handles ICP = −5 A surge during pull-in. Use Value: Low VCE(sat) minimizes coil voltage drop and self-heating; wide SOA prevents failure during back-EMF transients. | Use Scenario: Discrete pass transistor in adjustable linear regulators delivering up to 1.5 A at 5–15 V output. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Series pass element regulating output voltage via base-emitter control; operates in active region with VCE ≈ 2–4 V. Use Value: High hFE (140–280) reduces base drive burden; 150 MHz fT ensures loop stability with minimal compensation. |
| Lamp Drivers | Electrical Equipment Control |
Use Scenario: PWM-controlled incandescent/halogen lamp dimming in automotive interior lighting and HVAC panel backlighting. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-side switch modulating lamp current at 1–10 kHz; conducts −2 A continuous during ON phase. Use Value: Fast tf = 25 ns eliminates visible flicker; low VCE(sat) preserves lamp voltage headroom at low duty cycles. | Use Scenario: Load switching in programmable logic controller (PLC) digital output cards for factory automation equipment. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Final-stage output transistor interfacing microcontroller GPIO to 24 V DC field devices (sensors, indicators, small actuators). Use Value: PCP package withstands industrial vibration; −25 V VCEO accommodates 24 V nominal + 30% line surge per IEC 61000-4-5. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar PNP medium-power switching applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2SB1210S-TL-E | VCEO = −30 V, IC = −1.5 A, VCE(sat) = −0.45 V (typ), same PCP package | Higher voltage margin but lower current rating; suitable where 24 V system surges exceed 25 V | Choose when VCEO derating >20% is required; verify hFE meets base drive budget |
| MMBT2907ALT1G | SOT-23 package, IC = −600 mA, VCE(sat) = −0.4 V (typ), fT = 200 MHz | Lower power, smaller footprint; not suitable for >1 A loads or high-SOA demands | Select only for signal-level or low-current switching; avoid in relay/lamp drivers exceeding 0.8 A |
Compared with 2SB1121S-TD-E, 2SB1210S-TL-E trades current capacity for higher voltage ruggedness, while MMBT2907ALT1G offers higher speed in a miniature package but cannot replicate the 2SB1121S-TD-E's −2 A continuous capability or wide SOA - making the latter irreplaceable in high-current industrial switching.

FAQ
What is the package type and pin configuration of the 2SB1121S-TD-E?
The 2SB1121S-TD-E uses the PCP package (JEITA SC-62 / JEDEC TO-243AA), identical to SOT-89. Pin 1 is Base, Pin 2 is Collector (electrically connected to the exposed metal tab), and Pin 3 is Emitter. This configuration supports high-current sinking with direct thermal path to PCB copper.
What does the "S" suffix in 2SB1121S-TD-E indicate?
Per onsemi documentation, the "S" denotes hFE Rank S - specifying DC current gain between 140 and 280 at VCE = −2 V and IC = −100 mA. This rank ensures consistent base drive design across production lots of the 2SB1121S-TD-E.
Can the 2SB1121S-TD-E replace the 2SB1121T-TD-E in a design?
Yes, but only if hFE tolerance is acceptable: the 2SB1121T-TD-E has hFE = 200–400 (Rank T), offering higher minimum gain. The 2SB1121S-TD-E provides tighter low-end gain control (140–280), which may reduce base current variation in precision linear applications.
What is the maximum power dissipation of the 2SB1121S-TD-E on a standard FR-4 PCB?
onsemi specifies PC = 500 mW on FR-4 (unspecified area), but recommends 1.3 W when mounted on a 250 mm² × 0.8 mm ceramic substrate. For FR-4 layouts, thermal vias under the emitter pad and ≥10 cm² copper pour are required to approach 0.8–1.0 W sustained dissipation in the 2SB1121S-TD-E.
Is the 2SB1121S-TD-E RoHS compliant and lead-free?
Yes - the "E" suffix in 2SB1121S-TD-E explicitly indicates Pb-free (lead-free) construction per J-STD-609, and the device complies with RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU. Packaging is marked "Pb-Free" and shipped in dry-packed reels per J-STD-033.
