Product details
Overview
HN1C03F-B(TE85L,F) from Toshiba is a dual NPN epitaxial transistor in SM6 package, designed for audio muting and signal switching applications. It features VEBO = 25 V (min), RON = 1 Ω (typ. at IB = 5 mA), reverse hFE = 150 (typ. at VCE = −2 V, IC = −4 mA), and fT = 30 MHz - enabling fast, low-loss analog switching in compact consumer audio systems.
For engineers reviewing the HN1C03F-B(TE85L,F) datasheet, HN1C03F-B(TE85L,F) pinout, HN1C03F-B(TE85L,F) application, or HN1C03F-B(TE85L,F) equivalent, key selection criteria include dual-NPN configuration, SM6 6-pin package compatibility, guaranteed VEBO ≥ 25 V, low saturation voltage (VCE(sat) = 0.042 V typ.), and verified reverse hFE performance for bidirectional switching roles.
Technical Context
This dual transistor integrates two identical NPN devices sharing common emitter-base and collector-base ratings, optimized for low-voltage analog signal routing. Its PCT process ensures stable hFE (200–1200) and low Cob = 4.8 pF (typ.), supporting clean audio path isolation with minimal capacitive crosstalk.
Designed for muting in portable audio amplifiers and switching in telephony interface circuits, it operates reliably up to Tj = 150°C with PC = 300 mW total dissipation. The 160 ns turn-on time and 130 ns fall time confirm suitability for sub-microsecond switching in line-level signal paths.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-NPN switching applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| HN1C01F-B(TE85L,F) | Lower fT = 15 MHz; same SM6 package and VEBO = 25 V; hFE min = 120 | Suitable for ≤10 kHz audio paths only; not recommended for wideband or DTMF applications | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs bandwidth need and VCE(sat) < 0.05 V remains critical |
| UMX2N (ROHM) | Same SM6 footprint; higher VCEO = 50 V; lower RON = 0.7 Ω; no specified reverse hFE | Better for higher-voltage industrial I/O; lacks verified reverse-mode gain for bidirectional use | Choose for robustness in 24 V systems but verify alternate control topology if reverse hFE required |
Compared with HN1C03F-B(TE85L,F), HN1C01F-B(TE85L,F) trades bandwidth for lower cost in narrowband audio, while UMX2N offers higher voltage tolerance but omits reverse hFE validation - making HN1C03F-B(TE85L,F) uniquely suited for precision bidirectional analog switching under 20 V.

HN1C03F-B(TE85L,F) has an absolute maximum IC rating of 300 mA per transistor, with total package power dissipation limited to 300 mW. This rating applies under Ta = 25°C with proper PCB copper area; derating is required above 25°C ambient per Toshiba's reliability guidelines.
Does HN1C03F-B(TE85L,F) support bidirectional signal switching?
Yes - HN1C03F-B(TE85L,F) specifies reverse hFE = 150 (typ.) at VCE = −2 V and IC = −4 mA, confirming validated performance in inverted-mode operation. This enables true bidirectional analog switching without external circuit reconfiguration.
What is the typical transition frequency (fT) of HN1C03F-B(TE85L,F)?
The typical transition frequency fT of HN1C03F-B(TE85L,F) is 30 MHz, measured at VCE = 6 V and IC = 4 mA. This provides sufficient gain-bandwidth product to maintain flat response through the full 20 Hz–20 kHz audio band with margin.
Is HN1C03F-B(TE85L,F) RoHS compliant?
HN1C03F-B(TE85L,F) complies with EU RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU. Toshiba confirms lead-free termination and halogen-free molding compound; full compliance documentation is available upon request from Aetrix Electronics or directly from Toshiba's environmental portal.
What does the "B" suffix indicate in HN1C03F-B(TE85L,F)?
The "B" suffix in HN1C03F-B(TE85L,F) denotes hFE classification B (350–1200) per Toshiba's datasheet Note, distinguishing it from "A" grade (200–700). This ensures higher minimum current gain for consistent switching behavior across temperature and voltage variations.
