It integrates a 2.2 kΩ base resistor (R1) and a 47 kΩ emitter-base resistor (R2), so you can drive it directly from a microcontroller or logic output without external biasing components.
This part is officially obsolete per the manufacturer.
The 50 V VCEO and 100 mA IC are the hard limits — any replacement must meet or exceed these. The 250 mW power ceiling in the SC-70 package means thermal derating is tight; a higher-rated part in the same footprint may not be a drop-in if it dissipates more. The integrated 2.2 kΩ / 47 kΩ resistor divider sets the on/off threshold — a substitute with different resistor values will shift the base drive and may not switch at the same logic level.
