2SA1943 BJT type?

------Question for 2SA1943 Please Put your question below------

DigiKey PN 5272-2SA1943-ND description says it is a PNP BJT, however the EVVOSEMI datasheet you have a link to says it is an NPN BJT. What’s up?

Greetings,

The manufacturer’s product specification document is to be regarded as the authoritative information source in all cases.

The process of extracting, normalizing, and relaying information from product specification documents for display on the DK website (or any other distributor’s site for that matter) is subject to occasional errors.

When discovered, such errors can be reported using the “Report Product Information Error” button on the affected part’s detail page.

On closer inspection in this case however, it can be noted that the tabular data is full of negative values as is customary for devices of the P type, and that other examples of the generic part number are appropriately labeled as PNP. This would appear to be a relatively rare case where the manufacturer’s datasheet is in error.
