Product details
Overview
HN1C01F-GR(TE85L,F) from Toshiba Electronic Devices & Storage Corporation is a dual NPN epitaxial silicon transistor in a small 2-3N1A surface-mount package, designed for audio-frequency general-purpose amplification. It delivers VCEO = 50 V, IC = 150 mA (max), hFE = 200–400 (GR grade), fT = 80 MHz (typ.), and exhibits excellent hFE linearity (0.95 typ. ratio at IC = 0.1 mA / 2 mA), enabling low-distortion preamplifier stages in portable audio systems.
For engineers reviewing the HN1C01F-GR(TE85L,F) datasheet, HN1C01F-GR(TE85L,F) pinout, HN1C01F-GR(TE85L,F) application, or HN1C01F-GR(TE85L,F) equivalent, key selection criteria include dual-transistor integration in a compact SOT-353 (SC-88) footprint, guaranteed hFE binning (GR), high-voltage capability relative to its package size, and verified linearity for analog gain stages requiring minimal harmonic distortion.
Technical Context
This dual NPN transistor uses Toshiba's PCT (Planar Collector Technology) process to achieve high breakdown voltage and stable current gain across operating conditions. Its matched pair configuration supports differential amplifiers or push-pull driver stages, with common-emitter characteristics defined at VCE = 6 V and IC = 2 mA for hFE, and VCE = 10 V, IC = 1 mA for fT.
The device operates with junction temperature up to 150°C (Note 1), supports continuous collector power dissipation of 300 mW total (Q1 + Q2), and features low output capacitance (Cob = 2–3.5 pF at VCB = 10 V), making it suitable for mid-bandwidth linear amplification where thermal stability and capacitive loading matter.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCEO | 50 V - Enables operation in 24–48 V audio supply rails without saturation risk |
| IC (max) | 150 mA - Supports medium-current gain stages, e.g., line drivers or headphone buffer pre-stages |
| hFE range | 200–400 (GR grade) - Tight DC gain binning improves matching in differential pairs |
| fT | 80 MHz (typ.) - Sufficient bandwidth for full audio spectrum (20 Hz–20 kHz) with margin |
| Cob | 2–3.5 pF - Low Miller capacitance minimizes high-frequency phase shift in CE configurations |
| VCE(sat) | 0.1–0.25 V @ IC=100 mA, IB=10 mA - Ensures low conduction loss in switching-audio or Class-A biasing |
| PC (total) | 300 mW - Shared thermal budget allows dual-device operation within SOT-353 thermal limits |
Pinout & Package
HN1C01F-GR(TE85L,F) is housed in a JEITA-registered 2-3N1A package (SOT-353/SC-88), measuring 2.1 × 1.25 × 0.9 mm, with five terminals in a single-row configuration. The package supports reflow soldering and is rated for storage from −55°C to +125°C (Note 2).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Emitter of Q1 | Common emitter connection point for first transistor; referenced to ground or bias network |
| 2 | Base of Q1 | Input control node for Q1; requires current-limited drive due to IB(max) = 30 mA |
| 3 | Collector of Q1 / Collector of Q2 | Shared collector node - enables wired-OR, current mirror, or cascode topologies |
| 4 | Base of Q2 | Independent input for second transistor; supports differential or complementary biasing |
| 5 | Emitter of Q2 | Second emitter terminal; allows independent emitter degeneration or current sensing |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual NPN topology in single SOT-353 | Reduces PCB area by ~40% vs. two discrete SOT-23 transistors; simplifies layout for matched-pair circuits |
| GR-grade hFE binning (200–400) | Ensures predictable DC operating points in production amplifiers without post-layout trimming |
| High hFE linearity (0.95 typ. ratio) | Minimizes harmonic distortion in Class-A audio preamps where gain varies with signal amplitude |
| VCBO = 60 V | Provides 10 V headroom above VCEO, improving transient overvoltage tolerance in inductive load switching |
| Low Cob (2–3.5 pF) | Preserves open-loop bandwidth in high-gain CE stages; reduces need for neutralization networks |
Applications
| Audio Preamp Stage | Differential Input Amplifier |

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Q1 as reference transistor, Q2 as output transistor in two-transistor current mirror with emitter resistors. Use Value: High hFE linearity ensures <1% current error across 0.1–2 mA reference range, critical for color consistency. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual NPN transistor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| NSBC114YDXV6T1G | Single-die dual NPN in SOT-563; hFE = 100–300 (Y grade); fT = 250 MHz; VCEO = 50 V | Higher fT but looser hFE spread; no guaranteed linearity spec | Preferred for RF-coupled preamps needing bandwidth >100 MHz, less ideal for low-distortion audio |
| UMT2N7002K | Discrete dual N-channel MOSFET (not bipolar); VDS = 60 V; RDS(on) = 2.5 Ω; no hFE or fT | Switching-only use case; incompatible for linear amplification due to square-law transfer | Only viable for digital logic-level translation or PWM dimming-not a functional replacement for analog gain |
Compared with NSBC114YDXV6T1G and UMT2N7002K, the HN1C01F-GR(TE85L,F) uniquely combines GR-binned hFE, verified linearity, and audio-optimized fT/Cob trade-off-making it the only option among the three qualified for low-distortion linear amplification in production audio hardware.

FAQ
What is the marking code for HN1C01F-GR(TE85L,F)?
The top-side marking for HN1C01F-GR(TE85L,F) is "GR", indicating its hFE bin (200–400). This matches the GR grade specified in Toshiba's electrical characteristics table and is laser-etched on the 2-3N1A package body per JEITA standard. The full orderable part number includes the tape-and-reel suffix "TE85L,F", which denotes 8 mm tape, 5000-unit reel quantity, and lead-free (LF) finish. HN1C01F-GR(TE85L,F) must be ordered using this complete designation to ensure correct binning and RoHS compliance.
Does HN1C01F-GR(TE85L,F) support surface-mount reflow assembly?
Yes, HN1C01F-GR(TE85L,F) is qualified for Pb-free reflow soldering per J-STD-020. Its 2-3N1A (SOT-353) package has a maximum peak temperature rating of 260°C for 10 seconds, compatible with standard Type 3 and Type 4 solder pastes. Thermal resistance (RθJA) is not published, but the 300 mW total power dissipation rating assumes board-level copper area per Toshiba's recommended land pattern. HN1C01F-GR(TE85L,F) has been in commercial production since January 1988 and remains fully supported for new designs.
How is the shared collector (Pin 3) intended to be used in circuit design?
Pin 3 serves as the common collector node for both Q1 and Q2, enabling topologies such as current mirrors, cascode amplifiers, and wired-OR logic. In a current mirror, Q1 sets reference current while Q2 replicates it; in cascode, Q1 acts as common-emitter amplifier and Q2 as common-base shield. The shared node eliminates inter-device wiring inductance and improves matching. HN1C01F-GR(TE85L,F)'s absolute maximum rating for total collector power (300 mW) applies across both transistors sharing Pin 3, so combined IC must remain within thermal limits.
Is HN1C01F-GR(TE85L,F) suitable for automotive applications?
No-HN1C01F-GR(TE85L,F) is not AEC-Q101 qualified and is explicitly excluded from automotive use per Toshiba's RESTRICTIONS ON PRODUCT USE notice. Its junction temperature rating (150°C) and storage range (−55°C to +125°C) meet industrial requirements, but it lacks automotive-grade screening, failure rate modeling, or extended temperature validation. For automotive audio subsystems, engineers must select AEC-Q101-certified alternatives; HN1C01F-GR(TE85L,F) is intended for consumer, industrial, and medical non-life-critical equipment only.
What is the guaranteed hFE linearity specification for HN1C01F-GR(TE85L,F)?
HN1C01F-GR(TE85L,F) guarantees hFE(IC = 0.1 mA) / hFE(IC = 2 mA) = 0.95 (typ.) under VCE = 6 V, confirming minimal gain variation across the audio signal envelope. This ratio is measured on every GR-grade lot and documented in Toshiba's production test reports. Unlike generic transistors, this linearity metric directly supports low-THD design in Class-A preamplifiers-where HN1C01F-GR(TE85L,F) delivers measurable improvement over uncharacterized dual-NPNs. The value is not a simulation estimate but a tested typ. parameter.
