2N5087TFR

Single Bipolar Transistors Overview

The onsemi 2N5087TFR is a PNP general-purpose amplifier transistor manufactured in a TO-92 package. It features a collector-emitter voltage (VCEO) of -50 V and a continuous collector current (IC) rating of -100 mA. The device provides a minimum DC current gain (hFE) of 250 at IC = -1.0 mA, with a maximum value of 800. Key electrical characteristics include a collector-base breakdown voltage (V(BR)CBO) of -50 V, an emitter-base voltage (VEBO) of -3.0 V, and a transition frequency (fT) of 40 MHz. Total power dissipation is rated at 625 mW.

Single Bipolar Transistors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix 'TFR' against official onsemi documentation to confirm tape and reel packaging specifications. Ensure the component meets RoHS compliance requirements for your target market. Confirm that the TO-92 through-hole mounting style aligns with your PCB design constraints before finalizing procurement.

Single Bipolar Transistors Selection Notes

Select this component when a PNP transistor with high DC current gain and low noise characteristics is required for small-signal amplification. The TO-92 package suits prototyping and through-hole designs. Compare the -50 V voltage ratings and 625 mW power dissipation limits against circuit demands to ensure adequate headroom for thermal management and voltage spikes.

Single Bipolar Transistors Part Context

The 2N5087 belongs to the 2N5086/2N5087/MMBT5087 family originally developed by Fairchild Semiconductor and now managed by onsemi following corporate integration. This series includes complementary NPN variants and surface-mount equivalents. The device serves as a standard solution for discrete analog signal conditioning and low-power amplification tasks in consumer electronics.

Single Bipolar Transistors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same datasheet include the 2N5086 (complementary NPN type) and MMBT5087 (SOT-23 surface mount variant). Verify pinout compatibility and electrical parameter matching when considering alternative manufacturers offering equivalent JEDEC part numbers.
