2SA1215 Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The 2SA1215 is a PNP silicon epitaxial planar transistor manufactured by Sanken Electric. It utilizes LAPT (high frequency multi emitter transistor) technology, making it well-suited for audio amplifier output stages and other high-power linear applications. The device offers a collector-base breakdown voltage (VCBO) of -160 V, collector-emitter breakdown voltage (VCEO) of -160 V, and a continuous collector current (IC) rating of -15 A. Power dissipation is rated at 150 W at a case temperature of 25°C.

 

Electrical characteristics include a DC current gain (hFE) range of 50 to 180 (depending on rank) at VCE=-4 V and IC=-5 A, and a typical transition frequency (fT) of 50 MHz at VCE=-12 V and IE=2 A. The collector-emitter saturation voltage (VCE(sat)) is typically -2 V maximum at IC=-5 A and IB=-0.5 A. Switching times are specified with typical turn-on time of 0.25 µs, storage time of 0.85 µs, and fall time of 0.2 µs.

 

The transistor is housed in a through-hole MT-200 package (3-ESIP) with a weight of 18.4 g. It is RoHS3 compliant. A complementary NPN part, the 2SC2921, is available for push-pull amplifier designs. The 2SA1215 is now marked as obsolete by the manufacturer.
