2PA1576R-QX

The 2PA1576R-QX is a PNP bipolar junction transistor manufactured by Nexperia, housed in a compact SOT-323 (SC-70) surface-mount package. It is designed for general-purpose switching and amplification applications, with a focus on low current and low voltage operation.

Key electrical specifications include a collector-emitter breakdown voltage (Vceo) of 50 V, a continuous collector current (Ic) of 150 mA, and a peak collector current of 200 mA. The DC current gain (hFE) ranges from 180 to 390 at Ic = -1 mA and Vce = -6 V, providing consistent amplification performance. The collector-emitter saturation voltage (Vce sat) is typically 500 mV at Ib = -5 mA and Ic = -50 mA. The transition frequency is specified at 100 MHz, though this value is not confirmed in the datasheet.

The transistor features low collector capacitance of 2.5 pF and a thermal resistance (Rth(j-a)) of 625 K/W. It is qualified to AEC-Q101, making it suitable for automotive environments. The operating junction temperature range is up to 150°C, with an ambient temperature range of -65°C to 150°C. The device is RoHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, though these compliance statuses are unverified.

This transistor is ideal for use in general-purpose switching circuits, signal amplification stages, and low-power portable electronics. Its small footprint and surface-mount packaging allow for high-density PCB designs.
