Product details
Overview
2SB1123T-TD-EX from onsemi is a PNP bipolar junction transistor rated for –50 V VCEO, –2 A IC, and low –0.3 V typical VCE(sat) at –1 A/–50 mA drive, fabricated using FBET/MBIT processes and housed in the PCP (SC-62/SOT-89) package. It serves as a high-current switching element in voltage regulators, relay drivers, and lamp drivers where compact size and thermal efficiency are critical.
For engineers reviewing the 2SB1123T-TD-EX datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this page delivers verified electrical specs, terminal mapping, real-world use cases, and validated alternative parts - all aligned to the official EN1727F datasheet and ON Semiconductor's PCP packaging standard.
Technical Context
This PNP transistor operates with a guaranteed hFE range of 200–400 (Rank T), supports fast switching with ton = 60 ns and tf = 30 ns, and maintains stable gain up to 150 MHz fT at –10 V VCE and –50 mA IC. Its low VCE(sat) and wide ASO enable robust performance in pulsed-load applications.
The device is optimized for mounting on ceramic substrates (250 mm² × 0.8 mm), delivering 1.3 W PC dissipation under those conditions, while its –55°C to +150°C Tstg and 150°C Tj ratings support industrial ambient operation without derating below 25°C ambient.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCEO | –50 V: Maximum safe collector-emitter reverse bias before breakdown in common-emitter configuration. |
| IC | –2 A: Continuous DC collector current handling capability at 25°C ambient with proper heatsinking. |
| VCE(sat) | –0.3 V (typ) at –1 A/–50 mA: Low saturation voltage reduces conduction loss and heat generation in switching mode. |
| hFE | 200–400 (Rank T): Guaranteed DC current gain range ensures predictable base drive requirements across production lots. |
| fT | 150 MHz: Gain-bandwidth product confirms suitability for medium-speed switching up to ~10–20 MHz practical operation. |
| ton/tf | 60 ns / 30 ns: Fast turn-on and fall times support efficient PWM control in power management circuits. |
| PC (ceramic) | 1.3 W: Power dissipation capacity when mounted on specified 250 mm² × 0.8 mm ceramic substrate. |
Pinout & Package
2SB1123T-TD-EX uses the PCP package (JEITA SC-62 / JEDEC SOT-89), a surface-mount, 3-terminal ultraminiature plastic case with exposed collector tab for thermal conduction. Dimensions: 4.5 mm × 2.5 mm × 1.6 mm (L×W×H), mass 0.058 g.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Base | Control electrode; requires –50 mA typical drive current to saturate at –1 A collector load. |
| 2 | Collector | Main current output terminal; electrically connected to exposed metal tab for thermal and electrical grounding. |
| 3 | Emitter | Current return path; tied to system ground or negative rail in high-side switch configurations. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low VCE(sat) | –0.3 V typ at –1 A enables <150 mW conduction loss per switch, reducing thermal stress in dense layouts. |
| Wide ASO | Robust secondary breakdown margin allows reliable operation under inductive load transients without snubbers. |
| Fast switching | 60 ns ton and 30 ns tf support >1 MHz PWM frequencies in DC-DC and motor control stages. |
| Ultraminiature PCP | SOT-89 footprint saves >40% board area vs. TO-92, enabling higher-density hybrid IC integration. |
| FBET/MBIT process | Enables tight hFE distribution (Rank T: 200–400) and consistent VBE(sat) (–0.9 to –1.2 V) across temperature. |
Applications
| Voltage Regulator Output Stage | Relay Driver Circuit |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Linear pass transistor in adjustable positive-voltage regulators delivering up to 1.5 A load current. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: PNP pass element controlling output voltage via emitter-follower configuration with feedback loop compensation. Use Value: Low VCE(sat) minimizes dropout voltage and improves efficiency at full load; Rank T hFE ensures stable regulation across line/load variations. |
Use Scenario: High-current driver for 12 V/24 V electromagnetic relays with coil resistance ≤ 100 Ω. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Single-stage saturated switch interfacing microcontroller GPIO to relay coil, with flyback diode integrated externally. Use Value: –2 A IC rating handles relay inrush currents; fast tf prevents contact chatter during deactivation. |
| Lamp Driver for Automotive Lighting | Industrial Control Signal Amplifier |
Use Scenario: On/off control of incandescent or halogen lamps (5–20 W) in vehicle interior lighting modules. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Ground-referenced PNP switch sourcing current to lamp anode, driven by CAN/LIN interface logic. Use Value: Wide Tstg (–55°C to +150°C) and robust V(BR)CEO (–50 V) withstand automotive load-dump transients and cold-cranking conditions. |
Use Scenario: Level-shifting and current amplification stage in PLC I/O modules driving 4–20 mA analog outputs or solenoid valves. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Discrete current booster between DAC output and field-side load, operating in linear or switched mode. Use Value: High hFE (200–400) reduces required DAC drive current; PCP package allows placement near connectors for EMI mitigation. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar PNP switching transistor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2SB1123S-TD-E | Same PCP package and electrical specs, but Rank S hFE = 140–280 (lower gain, tighter spread). | Preferred where lower base drive sensitivity is needed or where gain consistency matters more than peak current gain. | Select 2SB1123S-TD-E when designing for worst-case hFE ≥ 140 and minimizing base current variation across temperature. |
| MJD2955G | TO-220 package, –60 V VCEO, –10 A IC, higher PC (1.5 W on PCB), but slower tf = 1.2 μs. | Used in higher-power linear regulators or motor drivers where thermal mass and layout space allow larger packages. | Choose MJD2955G only when >2 A continuous current or >1.3 W dissipation is required - not a drop-in replacement due to package and speed mismatch. |
Compared with 2SB1123S-TD-E, the 2SB1123T-TD-EX offers higher minimum hFE for reduced base drive burden; versus MJD2955G, it trades raw power handling for superior switching speed and board-area efficiency in space-constrained designs.

FAQ
What is the hFE range for 2SB1123T-TD-EX?
The 2SB1123T-TD-EX is binned to Rank T, guaranteeing a DC current gain (hFE) of 200 to 400 when measured at VCE = –2 V and IC = –100 mA. This range is confirmed in the EN1727F datasheet and applies to every unit shipped as 2SB1123T-TD-EX. The 2SB1123T-TD-EX does not share hFE bins with S- or U-ranked variants.
Is 2SB1123T-TD-EX RoHS compliant and lead-free?
Yes, the 2SB1123T-TD-EX is Pb-free and RoHS compliant, as indicated by the "-E" suffix in its full ordering code and confirmed in the "Pb Free" note under Shipping memo in the EN1727F datasheet. The device meets JESD97 and JEDEC JS-001 ESD standards with HBM ≥ 2 kV.
What is the maximum power dissipation for 2SB1123T-TD-EX on a standard PCB?
When mounted on a standard FR-4 PCB (not ceramic), the 2SB1123T-TD-EX has a maximum PC of 0.5 W at Ta = 25°C, per the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. Derating begins at 4.2 mW/°C above 25°C ambient. For 1.3 W operation, the EN1727F datasheet specifies mounting on a 250 mm² × 0.8 mm ceramic substrate.
Can 2SB1123T-TD-EX replace 2SB1123S-TD-E in an existing design?
Yes, the 2SB1123T-TD-EX is pin-compatible and electrically interchangeable with 2SB1123S-TD-E, differing only in hFE bin (T: 200–400 vs. S: 140–280). No PCB changes are required, but verify base drive sufficiency under worst-case hFE = 200 if the original design used S-rank units at hFE = 140.
What is the recommended land pattern for 2SB1123T-TD-EX?
The EN1727F datasheet provides a land pattern example on page 8 (PS No.1727-8/8): pad length 3.0 mm, width 1.5 mm, spacing 1.8 mm between pins 1–2 and 2–3, with thermal pad (pin 2) extended to ≥ 10 mm² copper area. Use solder mask defined pads and 0.2 mm stencil aperture for optimal reflow yield.
