Product details
Overview
30C01M-TL-E from SANYO is an NPN epitaxial planar silicon transistor designed for low-frequency amplifier and muting circuit applications, featuring VCEO = 30 V, IC = 400 mA, hFE = 300–800 (at VCE = 2 V, IC = 10 mA), fT = 380 MHz, and ultrasmall MCP package for space-constrained audio signal paths.
For engineers reviewing the 30C01M-TL-E datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include low VCE(sat) (100–200 mV at IC = 100 mA, IB = 5 mA), high hFE consistency across temperature, small-signal switching speed (ton = 42 ns), and compatibility with glass-epoxy PCB thermal constraints (PC = 300 mW).
Technical Context
This transistor operates as a general-purpose low-frequency amplifying and switching device in linear and saturated modes. Its epitaxial planar structure ensures stable hFE over temperature (−25°C to +75°C) and low output capacitance (Cob = 2.4 pF at VCB = 10 V), supporting clean gain in audio preamp stages.
Designed for muting functions, it delivers fast turn-on (42 ns) and controlled fall time (90 ns) under defined test conditions (VCC = 12 V, RL = 220 µF, IC = 300 mA), with low saturation resistance (RCE(sat) typ = 0.70 Ω at IC = 0.4 A, IB = 20 mA) enabling minimal insertion loss.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCEO | 30 V - Maximum safe collector-emitter voltage before breakdown in common-emitter configuration. |
| IC | 400 mA - Continuous DC collector current rating for reliable operation on standard glass-epoxy board. |
| hFE | 300–800 - DC current gain range at VCE = 2 V, IC = 10 mA, ensuring predictable bias stability in amplifier designs. |
| fT | 380 MHz - Gain-bandwidth product confirming usable RF margin up to ~100 MHz in small-signal applications. |
| VCE(sat) | 100–200 mV - Low saturation voltage at IC = 100 mA / IB = 5 mA, minimizing power loss in muting switches. |
| Cob | 2.4 pF - Output capacitance at VCB = 10 V, limiting high-frequency roll-off in coupling networks. |
| ton/tf | 42 ns / 90 ns - Verified switching times under standardized test circuit, supporting ≤2 MHz muting control rates. |
Pinout & Package
30C01M-TL-E uses the SANYO MCP (Mini Component Package) - a surface-mount, 3-pin ultrasmall plastic package (2.0 × 1.25 × 0.9 mm) with gull-wing leads, optimized for high-density audio PCB layouts.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Base | Control terminal for forward-biased junction; requires IB ≥ 5 mA to saturate at IC = 100 mA. |
| 2 | Emitter | Common reference node in common-emitter configuration; internally connected to substrate in MCP construction. |
| 3 | Collector | Output current path; thermally coupled to package backside for dissipation of up to 300 mW on 20×30×1.6 mm glass-epoxy board. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low VCE(sat) | 100–200 mV enables <1% signal attenuation in analog muting paths at 100 mA load. |
| High hFE consistency | 300–800 range maintained across −25°C to +75°C, reducing need for thermal compensation in bias networks. |
| Ultrasmall MCP footprint | 2.0 × 1.25 mm outline allows placement within 0.5 mm of adjacent SMT components in portable audio modules. |
| Fast switching | 42 ns turn-on and 90 ns fall time support clean transient suppression in headphone/line-out mute sequencing. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar NPN general-purpose amplifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2SC4617(TE85L,F) | VCEO = 50 V, IC = 150 mA, hFE = 120–470, SOT-323 package (2.1 × 1.3 × 0.95 mm) | Lower current rating and wider hFE spread; suitable only for ≤50 mA muting or bias control | Select when higher VCEO margin is required but IC ≤ 150 mA suffices and board space permits larger SOT-323 footprint. |
| DXT7050Q-13 | VCEO = 30 V, IC = 500 mA, hFE = 200–450, SOT-23 package (3.0 × 1.4 × 1.1 mm) | Higher IC but lower hFE min and larger footprint; no published tf or Cob data | Choose for higher current headroom where switching speed and capacitance are secondary to thermal robustness. |
Compared with 2SC4617(TE85L,F) and DXT7050Q-13, the 30C01M-TL-E provides superior hFE consistency and verified switching performance in its ultrasmall MCP package, making it optimal for compact, high-fidelity audio muting where gain stability and transient fidelity are critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous collector current rating for the 30C01M-TL-E?
The 30C01M-TL-E has a maximum continuous collector current (IC) rating of 400 mA when mounted on a standard glass-epoxy PCB (20 × 30 × 1.6 mm). This rating assumes ambient temperature (Ta) of 25°C and accounts for thermal derating above that temperature, as shown in the PC–Ta curve (No.7521-3/4). Exceeding this current risks thermal runaway or permanent junction damage.
Does the 30C01M-TL-E support switching applications, and what are its verified timing parameters?
Yes, the 30C01M-TL-E is characterized for switching use with verified turn-on time (ton) of 42 ns, storage time (tstg) of 135 ns, and fall time (tf) of 90 ns under the specified test circuit (VCC = 12 V, IC = 300 mA). These values confirm suitability for muting and enable/disable control in audio systems operating below 2 MHz.
What is the package type and marking code for the 30C01M-TL-E?
The 30C01M-TL-E uses SANYO's proprietary MCP (Mini Component Package), a 3-pin surface-mount plastic package measuring 2.0 × 1.25 × 0.9 mm. Its top-side marking is "YQ", consistent across production lots per datasheet No.7521-1/4. The "TL-E" suffix denotes tape-and-reel packaging per JEDEC standard.
How does the 30C01M-TL-E perform in terms of DC current gain across temperature?
The 30C01M-TL-E maintains hFE between 300 and 800 at VCE = 2 V and IC = 10 mA across −25°C to +75°C, as confirmed by the hFE–IC graph (IT05501) in the datasheet. This tight spread ensures predictable bias point stability in battery-powered audio amplifiers without active thermal compensation.
Is the 30C01M-TL-E suitable for high-reliability applications such as medical or aviation systems?
No - the 30C01M-TL-E is explicitly excluded from life-support, aircraft control, or other safety-critical applications per SANYO's disclaimer (No.7521-1/4 and -4/4). It is rated for commercial/industrial use only, with no extended reliability screening, burn-in, or AEC-Q200 qualification. For such applications, consult ON Semiconductor's current automotive-grade NPN portfolio instead of the legacy 30C01M-TL-E.
