Product details
Overview
2SD1815S-TL-H from onsemi is an NPN bipolar junction transistor in TP-FA (SC-63/TO-252) package, rated for −100 V VCEO, 3 A IC, and low 150–400 mV VCE(sat) at IC = −1.5 A / IB = −0.15 A. It delivers high fT of 130–180 MHz and fast switching (ton = 100 ns, tf = 50 ns), optimized for high-current switching in relay drivers and DC-DC converters.
For engineers reviewing the 2SD1815S-TL-H datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include verified VCE(sat) performance at 1.5 A, hFE linearity across 0.5–2 A, SC-63 thermal dissipation capability (20 W at Tc = 25°C), and halogen-free compliance per ordering suffix "-H".
Technical Context
This NPN transistor uses epitaxial planar construction with optimized base doping to achieve tight hFE distribution (Rank S: 140–280 at IC = −0.5 A) and low saturation voltage. Its gain-bandwidth product supports stable high-frequency switching up to 180 MHz under VCE = −10 V / IC = −0.5 A conditions.
The device operates within a −55°C to +150°C storage range and 150°C maximum junction temperature, with thermal resistance RθJC enabling 20 W continuous dissipation at case temperature 25°C. Package TP-FA provides dual collector terminals (pins 2 & 4) for enhanced current handling and reduced thermal impedance.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCEO | −100 V - Withstands 100 V collector-emitter blocking voltage in open-base condition, suitable for 48 V and 72 V industrial bus switching. |
| IC | −3 A - Continuous collector current rating enables direct drive of 2–3 A solenoid loads without external amplification. |
| VCE(sat) | 150–400 mV @ IC=−1.5 A/IB=−0.15 A - Low saturation voltage minimizes conduction loss and self-heating in high-duty-cycle PWM applications. |
| fT | 130–180 MHz - Supports clean square-wave switching up to ~100 MHz fundamental frequency in resonant converters. |
| ton/tf | 100 ns / 50 ns - Fast turn-on and fall times reduce switching transition losses in hard-switched topologies. |
| hFE | 140–280 @ IC=−0.5 A - Tight DC current gain binning ensures predictable base drive requirements across production lots. |
| Cob | 25–40 pF @ VCB=−10 V - Low output capacitance limits Miller effect and improves high-frequency stability in amplifier stages. |
Pinout & Package
2SD1815S-TL-H uses the TP-FA package (JEDEC TO-252, JEITA SC-63), featuring a thermally enhanced DPAK outline with dual collector leads (pins 2 and 4) and exposed copper pad for PCB heat sinking. Mass: 0.282 g.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Base | Control terminal requiring −0.15 A base current to saturate at −1.5 A collector load; VBE(sat) = −0.9 to −1.2 V. |
| 2 & 4 | Collector | Dual parallel collector terminals reduce current density and thermal resistance; must be connected to same high-current node. |
| 3 | Emitter | Power return path; tied to system ground or negative rail; handles full −3 A continuous current. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low VCE(sat) | 150 mV typical at 1.5 A enables <150 mW conduction loss per transistor in 48 V relay driver stage. |
| High fT | 180 MHz typical allows stable operation as switch or small-signal amplifier up to 50 MHz without compensation. |
| Fast switching | 100 ns ton + 50 ns tf reduces total transition time to <200 ns, cutting switching loss by >30% vs. legacy 2N3055-class devices. |
| Halogen-free | Compliant with IEC 61249-2-21; eliminates brominated flame retardants for RoHS-compliant industrial assembly. |
| TP-FA thermal design | Exposed copper pad and dual collector leads lower RθJA by ~25% vs. standard TO-252, supporting 20 W dissipation at Tc = 25°C. |
Applications
| Relay Driver Stage | DC-DC Converter Switch |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Driving 24–48 V electromagnetic relays in PLC I/O modules with 100 ms ON/OFF cycling. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-current NPN switch controlling relay coil current up to 2.5 A peak. Use Value: Low 150 mV VCE(sat) limits relay coil power loss to <375 mW, eliminating need for heatsink in compact DIN-rail enclosures. |

Use Scenario: Low-side switch in three-phase motor inverter gate driver stage for HVAC blower control. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Synchronized NPN switch toggling at 8–16 kHz with 50% duty cycle. Use Value: 180 MHz fT ensures stable gain margin >12 dB at switching frequency, preventing parasitic oscillation during edge transitions. |
Use Scenario: Output stage in 500 kHz Class-D audio amplifier driving 4 Ω speaker load. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Linear-mode NPN emitter follower providing low-impedance drive to speaker. Use Value: Excellent hFE linearity (140–280 over 0.5–2 A) maintains THD <0.8% across full output power range. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar NPN high-current switching applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MJD122G | VCEO = −100 V, IC = −3 A, but VCE(sat) = 500 mV @ 1.5 A - 3× higher conduction loss than 2SD1815S-TL-H. | Lacks halogen-free certification; not qualified for automotive-grade assemblies requiring IEC 61249-2-21 compliance. | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs thermal performance; requires larger PCB copper area for thermal management. |
| 2SD2656-E | Same TP-FA package, but VCEO = −60 V and fT = 100 MHz - lower voltage rating and bandwidth limit use to ≤36 V systems. | Optimized for consumer appliance inverters; lacks extended −55°C storage rating of 2SD1815S-TL-H. | Prefer for cost-constrained 24 V applications where 100 MHz fT suffices and −60 V rating is adequate. |
Compared with MJD122G and 2SD2656-E, the 2SD1815S-TL-H offers superior thermal efficiency (150 mV VCE(sat)), broader temperature qualification (−55°C to +150°C), and halogen-free compliance - making it optimal for industrial relay drivers and 48 V DC-DC converters requiring long-term reliability.

FAQ
What is the package type and lead count of 2SD1815S-TL-H?
The 2SD1815S-TL-H uses the TP-FA package (JEDEC TO-252, JEITA SC-63), a 4-lead surface-mount device with pins 1 (Base), 2 & 4 (dual Collector), and 3 (Emitter). The dual-collector configuration lowers thermal resistance and supports 20 W dissipation at Tc = 25°C. This layout is confirmed in the official onsemi outline drawing PS No.2539-7/7.
What does the "-TL-H" suffix indicate for 2SD1815S-TL-H?
The "-TL-H" suffix denotes tape-and-reel packaging (TL) and halogen-free construction (H), compliant with IEC 61249-2-21. It ships in 700 pcs./reel format and contains no brominated flame retardants or chlorine-based compounds. This differs from "-TL-E" variants, which are Pb-free but not halogen-free.
What is the guaranteed hFE range for 2SD1815S-TL-H at IC = −0.5 A?
The 2SD1815S-TL-H is Rank S binned, guaranteeing hFE = 140 to 280 at VCE = −5 V and IC = −0.5 A, as specified in the onsemi datasheet No.2539-2/7. This tight distribution ensures predictable base drive requirements across production lots without recalculating bias networks.
Can 2SD1815S-TL-H replace 2SD1815S-TL-E in existing designs?
Yes - the 2SD1815S-TL-H is a direct drop-in replacement for 2SD1815S-TL-E, sharing identical electrical specifications, pinout, package dimensions, and thermal characteristics. The only difference is halogen-free material content; no PCB or schematic changes are required when upgrading from "-E" to "-H".
What is the maximum safe operating junction temperature for 2SD1815S-TL-H?
The absolute maximum junction temperature (Tj) for 2SD1815S-TL-H is 150°C, as defined in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. Operation above this threshold risks permanent degradation of hFE and increased leakage. Derating curves in Figure No.2539-4/7 confirm 20 W dissipation is only valid at Tc ≤ 25°C.
