Product details
Overview
2SC4135T-E from onsemi is an NPN bipolar junction transistor in TP (TO-251) package, rated for 100 V VCEO, 2 A IC, and 15 W PC at Tc=25°C, with low VCE(sat) of 0.13 V (typ) at IC=1 A / IB=100 mA, optimized for power switching in lamp drivers and relay drivers.
For engineers reviewing the 2SC4135T-E datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include verified VCEO/IC ratings, TP package thermal performance, hFE rank T (200–400), fT = 120 MHz, and confirmed VCE(sat) under switching conditions.
Technical Context
The 2SC4135T-E is a discrete silicon NPN transistor fabricated using FBET and MBIT processes, enabling high breakdown voltage (V(BR)CBO = −120 V) and fast switching (ton = 80 ns, tf = 50 ns). It operates with DC current gain hFE ranked T (200–400) at VCE = −5 V, IC = −100 mA.
Designed for linear and switching applications up to 150°C junction temperature, it supports pulse operation (ICP = 3 A) and exhibits Cob = 16 pF at VCB = −10 V, f = 1 MHz - critical for minimizing Miller effect in high-speed switching circuits.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCEO | 100 V - maximum collector-emitter voltage before breakdown; enables use in 48 V and 100 V rail power stages |
| IC | 2 A continuous - supports medium-power load switching without forced cooling in compact layouts |
| VCE(sat) | 0.13 V (typ) at IC=1 A/IB=100 mA - reduces conduction loss and self-heating in saturated-switching mode |
| fT | 120 MHz - sufficient for audio-frequency amplification and sub-MHz switching control loops |
| hFE Rank | T (200–400) - ensures predictable base drive requirements and stable gain across production lots |
| PC @ Tc | 15 W - defines heatsink sizing when mounted on PCB copper or external metal core |
| Cob | 16 pF at VCB=−10 V - limits capacitive loading on driver stage and affects rise/fall time consistency |
Pinout & Package
Package: TP (TO-251), single-ended leaded, surface-mount compatible with through-hole footprint; 7.0 mm × 5.0 mm × 2.3 mm body, 0.315 g mass, JEDEC-compliant SC-64 outline.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Base | Control input requiring ~100 mA base current to saturate 1 A collector load; low VBE(sat) = −0.85 V (min) |
| 2 | Collector | Main current path; electrically connected to pin 4; requires thermal pad connection for 15 W dissipation |
| 3 | Emitter | Reference node for biasing; tied to ground or low-side return path in common-emitter configurations |
| 4 | Collector | Dual-collector configuration enhances current handling and thermal distribution; must be shorted externally to pin 2 |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low VCE(sat) | 0.13 V typ at IC=1 A - cuts conduction loss by >50% vs. standard general-purpose transistors |
| High V(BR)CBO | 120 V - provides 20% voltage margin over 100 V system rails, improving surge robustness |
| Fast switching | ton/tf = 80/50 ns - enables clean square-wave drive in <1 MHz PWM lamp/relay control |
| TP package | TO-251 outline with dual collector leads - improves thermal transfer and mechanical stability on FR-4 PCBs |
| hFE rank T | 200–400 range - simplifies base resistor design and reduces variation in saturation depth across batches |
Applications
| Lamp Driver | Relay Driver |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Driving incandescent or LED arrays in industrial control panels with 24–48 V supply rails. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: NPN switch operating in saturation mode to sink load current to ground. Use Value: Low VCE(sat) minimizes power loss and heat generation during continuous-on operation. | Use Scenario: Controlling electromechanical relays in PLC output modules requiring 1–2 A coil current. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Medium-current switching element interfacing microcontroller GPIO to relay coil. Use Value: Fast tf = 50 ns ensures rapid relay deactivation, reducing contact arcing and wear. |
| DC Power Supply | Motor Control Interface |
Use Scenario: Regulating auxiliary 5–12 V rails in offline SMPS using linear pass or series-switch topology. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Series-pass transistor or primary-side switch in low-frequency feedback loop. Use Value: 15 W PC rating allows direct mounting on copper pour without dedicated heatsink. | Use Scenario: Driving small brushed DC motors (e.g., fans, actuators) in embedded motion systems. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: H-bridge half-bridge switch or unidirectional motor enable transistor. Use Value: Dual-collector pinout (pins 2 & 4) improves current sharing and thermal spreading under 2 A stall conditions. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar NPN power switching applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MJD127G | VCEO = 100 V, IC = 2 A, but TO-252 (DPAK) package; hFE min = 30 (unranked); VCE(sat) = 0.5 V @ 1 A | Higher saturation loss; less suitable for thermally constrained lamp/relay designs | Prefer where DPAK footprint is fixed and lower gain tolerance is acceptable |
| 2SC4110T-E | VCEO = 80 V, IC = 2 A, same TP package and hFE rank T; fT = 100 MHz; VCE(sat) = 0.15 V (typ) | Narrower voltage margin; identical pinout and layout compatibility | Select only if 80 V system compliance suffices and cost optimization is prioritized |
Compared with MJD127G and 2SC4110T-E, the 2SC4135T-E delivers superior VCE(sat) and guaranteed hFE rank T in the TP package, making it optimal for thermally sensitive, high-reliability lamp and relay driver designs requiring consistent gain and low conduction loss.

FAQ
What is the package type and lead count of the 2SC4135T-E?
The 2SC4135T-E uses the TP (TO-251) package with four terminals: pins 1 (Base), 2 (Collector), 3 (Emitter), and 4 (Collector). Pins 2 and 4 are internally connected collectors, enabling enhanced thermal and current-handling capability. This 4-pin variant is distinct from standard 3-pin TO-251 devices.
What does the 'T' suffix indicate in 2SC4135T-E?
The 'T' in 2SC4135T-E denotes the hFE gain rank, specifying a DC current gain range of 200–400 at VCE = −5 V and IC = −100 mA. This tighter binning ensures predictable base drive requirements and consistent switching behavior across production units of the 2SC4135T-E.
Is the 2SC4135T-E suitable for switching applications above 1 MHz?
No - while the 2SC4135T-E has fT = 120 MHz, its switching times (ton = 80 ns, tf = 50 ns) and Cob = 16 pF make it best suited for frequencies up to ~500 kHz. For >1 MHz operation, RF-optimized transistors with lower capacitance and faster recovery are recommended over the 2SC4135T-E.
Does the 2SC4135T-E require a heatsink in typical lamp driver use?
In continuous 1 A lamp driver operation, the 2SC4135T-E dissipates ~0.13 W (VCE(sat) × IC). With its 15 W PC rating at Tc = 25°C and TP package thermal resistance, no external heatsink is needed if PCB copper area ≥ 2 cm² is used - a key advantage of the 2SC4135T-E in space-constrained designs.
How does the 2SC4135T-E compare to the 2SC4135S-E?
The 2SC4135T-E and 2SC4135S-E share identical package, absolute ratings, and electrical characteristics except for hFE rank: S = 100–200, T = 200–400. The 2SC4135T-E provides higher and more consistent gain, reducing base drive variability and improving saturation margin - especially valuable in relay and lamp drivers where load current varies.
