Product details
Overview
2SC4116-O(TE85L,F) from Toshiba Electronic Devices & Storage Corporation is a silicon NPN epitaxial bipolar transistor designed for low-frequency and audio-frequency amplifier stages, featuring VCEO = 50 V, IC = 150 mA (max), hFE = 70–140 (O-class), NF = 1 dB (typ.), and AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive-grade reliability in AM amplifier circuits.
For engineers reviewing the 2SC4116-O(TE85L,F) datasheet, 2SC4116-O(TE85L,F) pinout, 2SC4116-O(TE85L,F) application, or 2SC4116-O(TE85L,F) equivalent, key selection criteria include its USM package footprint, complementary pairing with 2SA1586, hFE linearity (0.95 typ.), and low-noise performance at 1 kHz with RG = 10 kΩ.
Technical Context
This NPN transistor operates in linear amplification mode with DC current gain specified across IC = 2 mA (hFE test condition) and exhibits excellent hFE linearity-ratio of hFE at 0.1 mA to hFE at 2 mA is 0.95 (typ.)-supporting stable small-signal gain over bias range. Its fT = 80 MHz (typ.) enables reliable operation up to audio band and low-frequency RF stages.
Noise figure is characterized at VCE = 6 V, IC = 0.1 mA, f = 1 kHz, RG = 10 kΩ, delivering NF = 1 dB (typ.), making it suitable for high-fidelity preamplifier inputs where signal integrity is critical. The device uses an epitaxial base structure optimized for low 1/f noise and consistent β behavior.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCEO | 50 V - Supports rail voltages up to ±24 V in Class-A audio output stages without saturation risk. |
| IC (max) | 150 mA - Enables driver-stage operation into 8 Ω loads with ≤1.2 VCE(sat) at IB = 10 mA. |
| hFE range | 70–140 (O-class) - Ensures predictable DC bias stability in fixed-bias or emitter-degenerated amplifier topologies. |
| NF | 1 dB (typ.) - Delivers minimal added noise in microphone preamp or phono stage input circuits. |
| fT | 80 MHz (typ.) - Confirms usable bandwidth beyond 20 kHz with margin for harmonic content in audio applications. |
| Cob | 3.5 pF (max) - Limits Miller capacitance impact on high-frequency roll-off in common-emitter configurations. |
| PC | 200 mW - Requires thermal derating above 25 °C ambient; supports continuous operation on FR4 with 0.5 mm² copper pad. |
Pinout & Package
Package: USM (Ultra Small Mold), 3-pin surface-mount, 6.0 mg typical weight, footprint compatible with JEDEC TO-236AB outline.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Base | Control terminal for forward-active bias; requires current-limited drive to maintain hFE linearity. |
| 2 | Emitter | Common reference node in CE/CC configurations; connects directly to ground or emitter resistor for DC stabilization. |
| 3 | Collector | Output terminal carrying amplified current; routed to load or next stage with minimal parasitic inductance. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualified | Validated for automotive temperature cycling (−40 °C to 125 °C) and mechanical stress per JESD22 standards. |
| hFE linearity | hFE(0.1 mA)/hFE(2 mA) = 0.95 (typ.) - Reduces harmonic distortion in Class-A amplifiers. |
| Complementary pair | Matched with 2SA1586 PNP for push-pull output stages requiring symmetrical gain and thermal tracking. |
| Low-noise design | NF = 1 dB (typ.) at 1 kHz ensures <0.1% THD+N in preamplifier inputs with 10 kΩ source impedance. |
Applications
| AM Radio Intermediate Frequency Amplifier | Automotive Cabin Audio Preamp Stage |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Amplifies 455 kHz IF signal after mixer in analog AM radio receivers before detection. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: NPN small-signal amplifier operating in common-emitter configuration with tuned collector load. Use Value: High VCEO (50 V) accommodates supply headroom for AGC-controlled gain; low NF preserves weak-signal SNR. | Use Scenario: First-stage voltage amplification of line-level audio signals in OEM infotainment head units. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Single-ended Class-A preamplifier with emitter degeneration for DC bias stability. Use Value: AEC-Q101 qualification ensures operation across −40 °C to 105 °C ambient; hFE linearity minimizes intermodulation distortion. |
| Portable Audio Device Output Driver | Industrial Sensor Signal Conditioning |
Use Scenario: Drives 32 Ω headphones or low-impedance transducers in battery-powered audio players. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Emitter-follower buffer providing low-Z output while isolating sensitive gain stages. Use Value: IC = 150 mA (max) supports ≥100 mW into 32 Ω; USM package enables compact PCB layout. | Use Scenario: Amplifies low-level DC-coupled signals from thermocouples or strain gauges in PLC analog input modules. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Precision DC amplifier with matched hFE and low VCE(sat) for minimal offset error. Use Value: VCE(sat) ≤ 0.25 V at IC = 100 mA reduces self-heating drift; low ICBO (<0.1 µA) maintains accuracy over temperature. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar NPN small-signal amplifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2SC4081-O | VCEO = 30 V (lower), hFE = 70–140, same USM package, no AEC-Q101 certification | Limited to ≤±15 V supplies; unsuitable for automotive under-hood environments | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs automotive qualification and voltage headroom requirements. |
| MMBT3904LT1G | VCEO = 40 V, hFE = 100–300, SOT-23 package, AEC-Q101 qualified, NF = 5 dB (max) | Higher noise floor limits use in ultra-low-noise preamps; wider hFE spread increases bias variance. | Prefer for general-purpose switching or medium-fidelity amplification where footprint compatibility is critical. |
Compared with 2SC4116-O(TE85L,F), 2SC4081-O sacrifices voltage rating and automotive qualification but matches hFE binning and package; MMBT3904LT1G offers broader industry availability and SOT-23 compatibility but trades 4 dB higher noise and looser hFE tolerance for cost and sourcing flexibility.

FAQ
What is the hFE classification for 2SC4116-O(TE85L,F)?
The "O" suffix in 2SC4116-O(TE85L,F) denotes the hFE bin: 70 to 140 at VCE = 6 V and IC = 2 mA. This tight gain range simplifies bias network design in production amplifiers and ensures predictable DC operating points across manufacturing lots. The 2SC4116-O(TE85L,F) achieves this specification using Toshiba's epitaxial base process and laser-trimmed emitter geometry.
Is 2SC4116-O(TE85L,F) suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, 2SC4116-O(TE85L,F) is AEC-Q101 qualified, confirming compliance with stress tests for temperature cycling, humidity, mechanical shock, and solderability required for automotive electronics. It operates reliably from −40 °C to 125 °C junction temperature and is approved for use in cabin audio systems-not under-hood or safety-critical subsystems. The 2SC4116-O(TE85L,F) meets these requirements per Toshiba's Rev.7.0.A qualification report.
What is the maximum collector power dissipation for 2SC4116-O(TE85L,F)?
The maximum collector power dissipation (PC) for 2SC4116-O(TE85L,F) is 200 mW when mounted on a 25.4 mm × 25.4 mm × 1.6 mm FR4 board with three 0.5 mm² copper pads. Derating begins at 25 °C ambient, reaching zero dissipation at 125 °C case temperature. This rating applies specifically to the USM package and must be verified against actual board layout and airflow in the 2SC4116-O(TE85L,F) application.
How does the noise figure of 2SC4116-O(TE85L,F) compare to standard small-signal transistors?
The 2SC4116-O(TE85L,F) delivers NF = 1 dB (typ.) at 1 kHz with VCE = 6 V, IC = 0.1 mA, and RG = 10 kΩ-significantly lower than generic transistors like BC547 (NF ≈ 10 dB). This low-noise performance results from optimized base doping and epitaxial layer thickness, enabling use in microphone preamps and phono stages where signal-to-noise ratio is critical. The 2SC4116-O(TE85L,F) maintains this advantage across its specified operating range.
What complementary PNP transistor pairs with 2SC4116-O(TE85L,F)?
The 2SC4116-O(TE85L,F) is explicitly designated as complementary to the 2SA1586 PNP transistor in Toshiba's documentation. Both share matching VCEO, IC, hFE ranges, and USM packaging, enabling thermally balanced push-pull output stages. Their paired characteristics-including similar fT and Cob-minimize crossover distortion in Class-AB amplifiers. This complementarity is confirmed in Section 2, Feature (7) of the 2SC4116-O(TE85L,F) datasheet.
