Product details
Overview
2SD1193 from SANYO is an NPN epitaxial planar silicon Darlington transistor designed for high-current switching in driver applications, with VCEO = −60 V, IC = −15 A, PC = 7 W at Tc = 25 °C, and hFE ≥ 2000 at IC = −7 A, used in relay drivers, printer hammer drivers, and motor control circuits.
For engineers reviewing the 2SD1193 datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this page delivers verified electrical ratings, TO-3PB package mapping, saturation voltage behavior under IC/IB = 500, ASO curves for pulsed operation, and validated alternative transistors for industrial driver designs.
Technical Context
The 2SD1193 operates as a two-stage monolithic NPN Darlington pair with integrated base-emitter resistor (200 Ω), enabling direct TTL/CMOS logic-level drive without external biasing. Its design targets high DC current gain (hFE up to 10,000) and low VCE(sat) ≤ −1.5 V at IC = −7 A, IB = −14 mA.
It features wide Safe Operating Area (ASO) supporting 20 A peak collector current (ICP) in 1 ms pulses and continuous 15 A operation at Tc ≤ 25 °C. Thermal derating follows a linear PC–Tc curve down to 0 W at 160 °C case temperature.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCEO | −60 V - Maximum collector-emitter voltage before breakdown under open-base condition; defines upper rail limit in high-voltage switching. |
| IC (DC) | −15 A - Continuous collector current rating at Tc = 25 °C; supports sustained load driving without forced cooling. |
| PC | 7 W - Collector power dissipation at Tc = 25 °C; requires heatsinking above ~2.5 W in typical PCB-mount use. |
| hFE | 2000–10000 - DC current gain range at VCE = −2 V, IC = −7 A; enables microampere-level base drive for ampere-level loads. |
| VCE(sat) | −1.5 V max at IC/IB = 500 - Low saturation voltage reduces conduction loss and heat generation in on-state switching. |
| fT | 2 MHz - Transition frequency at VCE = −5 V, IC = −7 A; suitable for <100 kHz switching but not RF or fast PWM. |
Pinout & Package
SANYO TO-3PB metal package: isolated collector tab, 3-pin through-hole configuration with 1.2 mm lead diameter, 20.0 × 15.0 mm footprint, and 4.8 mm height. Mounting hole centered on collector tab.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Base | Input control terminal; internally connected to 200 Ω resistor to emitter; accepts logic-level drive (≤5 V). |
| 2 | Collector | Main current output node; electrically tied to metal tab; must be insulated from heatsink unless system ground referenced. |
| 3 | Emitter | Power return path; common reference for load; internal resistor connection point for Darlington bias network. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated base resistor | 200 Ω pull-down enables direct TTL/CMOS interface without external bias components. |
| High ASO margin | Supports 20 A pulse (1 ms) and 15 A DC at Tc = 25 °C - critical for inductive load snubbing and surge tolerance. |
| Low VBE(sat) | ≤ −2.0 V at IC/IB = 500 - minimizes base drive power and improves overall efficiency in high-current stages. |
| Thermal stability | Specified junction temperature range −55 °C to +150 °C - ensures reliability in industrial ambient conditions. |
Applications
| Printer Hammer Driver | Relay Driver Circuit |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Driving solenoid-based print hammers in dot-matrix printers requiring rapid on/off cycling and high peak current pulses. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-current switch controlling solenoid coil energization; handles repetitive 10–20 A pulses at 1–5 ms duration. Use Value: Low VCE(sat) and wide ASO prevent thermal runaway during repeated hammer actuation, extending solenoid and transistor lifetime. |
Use Scenario: Controlling industrial 24 VDC or 120 VAC relays with coil currents up to 12 A in PLC output modules and machine controls. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Final-stage power switch interfacing microcontroller GPIO to relay coil; provides galvanic isolation via optocoupler input stage. Use Value: Integrated 200 Ω base resistor eliminates discrete bias network, reducing BOM count and layout area while ensuring reliable turn-on. |
| Motor Speed Controller | Voltage Regulator Pass Element |
Use Scenario: Linear or PWM-based DC motor control in conveyor systems and automated equipment where smooth torque response is required. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-current series pass element in H-bridge half-bridge or single-ended configurations; dissipates up to 5 W continuously. Use Value: hFE ≥ 2000 allows µA-level base current to regulate 10+ A motor current, simplifying gate/base driver design. |
Use Scenario: Series pass transistor in adjustable linear voltage regulators delivering up to 10 A output for test equipment and lab supplies. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Power regulation element operating in active region; dissipates variable power based on input-output differential and load current. Use Value: Specified VCEO = −60 V supports >50 V input rails; thermal derating curve enables accurate heatsink sizing for stable long-term operation. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-current Darlington transistor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2SD1071 | VCEO = −100 V, IC = −10 A, hFE ≥ 1000, TO-3PB package, no internal base resistor | Higher voltage rating but lower current capacity; requires external base bias network | Select when >60 V rail operation is needed and board space allows discrete bias components. |
| BDW53C | VCEO = −100 V, IC = −12 A, hFE ≥ 750, TO-218 package, no internal resistor | Lower hFE, different mechanical footprint, higher VCE(sat) (~2.5 V), requires redesign of base drive. | Choose only if legacy BDW53C footprint compatibility is mandatory and gain margin is acceptable. |
Compared with 2SD1193, the 2SD1071 offers higher voltage headroom but demands external biasing and delivers less current, while BDW53C trades gain and saturation performance for wider voltage tolerance and non-compatible packaging-neither is pin-compatible, and both require circuit revision.

FAQ
What is the maximum safe collector-emitter voltage for 2SD1193?
The absolute maximum VCEO rating for 2SD1193 is −60 V at Ta = 25 °C. Operation beyond this value-even momentarily-risks avalanche breakdown and permanent device failure. Derating is required above 25 °C ambient; consult the datasheet's Safe Operating Area chart for voltage-current limits at elevated temperatures. The 2SD1193 must never be used in life-support or aircraft control systems per SANYO's safety disclaimer.
Does 2SD1193 include an internal base resistor, and what is its value?
Yes, the 2SD1193 integrates a 200 Ω base-emitter resistor, confirmed in the Electrical Connection diagram and VBE test conditions. This resistor enables direct logic-level drive from TTL or CMOS outputs without external bias components. It stabilizes turn-on behavior and prevents spurious conduction due to leakage or noise, distinguishing the 2SD1193 from standard Darlingtons like 2SD1071 which lack this feature.
What is the Safe Operating Area (ASO) behavior of 2SD1193 under pulsed conditions?
The 2SD1193 supports up to −20 A peak collector current (ICP) in 1 ms pulses at Tc = 25 °C, as shown in ITR08576. Its ASO curve shows linear reduction in allowable current with increasing pulse width (10 ms, 100 ms) and decreasing with rising case temperature. For reliable design, always operate within the published ASO boundary-not just DC ratings-to avoid second breakdown during transient overloads.
Can 2SD1193 replace 2SB883 in the same circuit?
No-2SD1193 (NPN) and 2SB883 (PNP) are complementary devices with opposite polarity and non-interchangeable pinouts and biasing. While both share the TO-3PB package and appear together in the same datasheet (ENN1036B), substituting one for the other would reverse current flow and likely destroy the circuit. Their electrical characteristics-including VCEO, hFE, and saturation voltages-are specified separately and not symmetric.
What thermal derating applies to 2SD1193 above 25 °C case temperature?
2SD1193's collector dissipation (PC) decreases linearly from 7 W at Tc = 25 °C to 0 W at Tc = 160 °C, per the PC–Tc curve (ITR08577). At Tc = 80 °C, PC ≈ 4.2 W; at Tc = 120 °C, PC ≈ 2.1 W. Heatsink selection must account for this slope, and junction temperature must remain ≤150 °C under worst-case power and ambient conditions to ensure reliability.
