Product details
Overview
30A02CH-TL-E from onsemi is a PNP bipolar junction transistor rated for −30 V VCEO, −700 mA continuous collector current, and featuring low VCE(sat) of −110 mV (typ.) at IC = −200 mA / IB = −10 mA. It uses CPH3 surface-mount package and serves as a high-speed switching device in low-frequency amplifier and small motor drive circuits.
For engineers reviewing the 30A02CH-TL-E datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include verified VCE(sat), hFE range (200–500), fT = 520 MHz, thermal derating per ambient temperature, and CPH3 mechanical compatibility with 0.8 mm ceramic board mounting.
Technical Context
This PNP BJT operates with fixed-base driven saturation switching and exhibits strong current gain linearity across IC = −10 mA to −700 mA at VCE = −2 V. Its low output capacitance (Cob = 4.7 pF at VCB = −10 V) and fast switching times (ton = 35 ns, tf = 25 ns) support stable performance in pulse-width modulated motor control stages.
The device is characterized for operation up to Tj = 150°C and requires thermal management via mounting on a 600 mm² × 0.8 mm ceramic board to sustain 700 mW power dissipation. Absolute maximum ratings are strictly defined for VCBO, VCEO, and VEBO with no derating applied below Ta = 25°C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCEO | −30 V - Maximum allowable collector-to-emitter voltage before breakdown under open-base condition |
| IC (continuous) | −700 mA - Continuous collector current rating defining safe DC conduction capability |
| VCE(sat) | −110 mV (typ.) at IC = −200 mA / IB = −10 mA - Low saturation voltage enables minimal power loss in switching mode |
| hFE | 200–500 at VCE = −2 V, IC = −10 mA - Confirmed DC current gain range for reliable base drive design |
| fT | 520 MHz - Gain-bandwidth product indicating usable frequency limit for small-signal amplification |
| Cob | 4.7 pF at VCB = −10 V, f = 1 MHz - Output capacitance affecting high-speed switching edge integrity |
| ton/tf | 35 ns / 25 ns - Verified turn-on and fall times supporting ≥10 MHz digital switching applications |
Pinout & Package
30A02CH-TL-E is housed in the CPH3 package (Case 318BA), a 3-pin surface-mount plastic package with gull-wing leads optimized for automated assembly and thermal conduction to ceramic PCB substrates.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Base | Control terminal for forward-biased PNP operation; requires negative current injection relative to emitter |
| 2 | Emitter | Current source terminal; connected to higher potential rail in typical common-emitter switch configuration |
| 3 | Collector | Current sink terminal; tied to load and lower-potential node in standard switching topology |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low VCE(sat) | −110 mV typ. at IC = −200 mA - Reduces conduction loss by >40% vs. standard PNP transistors in same current class |
| High fT | 520 MHz - Enables stable amplification up to UHF band without external compensation |
| Controlled hFE spread | 200–500 - Supports predictable base resistor selection across production lots |
| Low Cob | 4.7 pF - Minimizes Miller effect during fast transitions, preserving switching speed |
| Thermal robustness | 150°C max junction temperature - Allows operation in sealed enclosures without forced air cooling |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar PNP switching transistor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MMBT3906LT1G | VCEO = −40 V, IC = −200 mA, VCE(sat) = −300 mV (typ.) at IC = −10 mA | Lower current rating and higher saturation voltage limit use in <200 mA loads only | Select when higher VCEO margin is required and thermal constraints allow larger VCE(sat) loss |
| DXT3906-7-F | VCEO = −40 V, IC = −500 mA, fT = 250 MHz, CPH3-compatible footprint | Lower fT and wider hFE spread (100–300) reduce predictability in high-speed designs | Choose for drop-in replacement where layout reuse is critical and 520 MHz bandwidth is not required |
Compared with MMBT3906LT1G and DXT3906-7-F, the 30A02CH-TL-E delivers superior current handling, lower conduction loss, and higher bandwidth-making it optimal for compact motor drivers and fast-switching industrial sensors where thermal and timing margins are constrained.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous collector current rating for the 30A02CH-TL-E?
The 30A02CH-TL-E has a maximum continuous collector current (IC) rating of −700 mA at Ta = 25°C when mounted on a 600 mm² × 0.8 mm ceramic board. Derating applies above 25°C ambient, with full power dissipation (700 mW) sustained up to ~80°C ambient per Figure 11 in the official datasheet. This rating ensures reliable operation in motor drive and switching applications without forced cooling.
Does the 30A02CH-TL-E support high-speed switching in PWM circuits?
Yes, the 30A02CH-TL-E supports high-speed switching with verified ton = 35 ns and tf = 25 ns under standard test conditions (VCC = −12 V, IC = −300 mA). Its 520 MHz fT and low Cob = 4.7 pF enable clean edge transitions up to 10–20 MHz, making it suitable for PWM motor control and digital load switching where timing fidelity is critical.
What is the package type and lead finish of the 30A02CH-TL-E?
The 30A02CH-TL-E uses the CPH3 package (Case 318BA), a 3-pin surface-mount plastic package with gull-wing leads. It is Pb-free and RoHS-compliant, with matte tin (Sn) lead finish. The package is optimized for reflow soldering and thermal conduction to ceramic PCB substrates, supporting the specified 700 mW power dissipation rating.
How does the VCE(sat) of the 30A02CH-TL-E compare to standard PNP transistors?
The 30A02CH-TL-E achieves VCE(sat) = −110 mV (typ.) at IC = −200 mA / IB = −10 mA-significantly lower than standard PNP transistors like the MMBT3906 (−300 mV typ.). This 63% reduction in saturation voltage directly lowers conduction losses, improves efficiency in battery-powered systems, and reduces thermal stress in densely packed PCB layouts.
Is the 30A02CH-TL-E suitable for automotive-grade applications?
The 30A02CH-TL-E is not AEC-Q101 qualified and is not recommended for automotive safety-critical systems. However, its 150°C junction rating, −30 V breakdown voltage, and robust thermal behavior make it suitable for non-safety automotive subsystems such as cabin HVAC actuators, mirror controls, and interior lighting drivers-provided full system-level qualification is performed by the end customer.
