Product Description

A1015 PNP Silicon Transistor

General Purpose PNP Transistor for Low-Power Applications

The A1015 is a widely used generalpurpose PNP silicon transistor in a TO92 package. It is suitable for low-power switching and amplification applications, serving as the complementary PNP counterpart to the C1815 NPN transistor.

General Purpose PNP Ideal for lowpower amplification and switching.
Complementary to C1815 Pairs with C1815 NPN for pushpull circuits.
Collector Current: -150mA max.
CollectorEmitter Voltage: 50V max.
Use for audio preamplifiers, general switching, and sensor signal conditioning.

Troubleshooting

Transistor not switching:

  • Verify baseemitter voltage is below 0.7V for PNP turn-on.
  • Check base current and resistor values.
  • Ensure load current does not exceed 150mA.

Excessive heat:

  • Verify collector current is within 150mA limit.
  • Ensure power dissipation does not exceed 400mW.
  • Check for correct biasing in amplifier circuits.
