The onsemi 2N5550 is an NPN silicon small-signal amplifier transistor housed in a TO-92 (TO-226AA) package. It supports a maximum collector current of 600 mA and features a collector-emitter breakdown voltage of 140 V, with a collector-base voltage rating of 160 V. The device operates within a junction temperature range of -55°C to +150°C. Key electrical characteristics include a minimum DC current gain of 20 at 50 mA, a transition frequency up to 300 MHz, and a total power dissipation of 625 mW at 25°C ambient temperature.
Verify the specific ordering suffix against official documentation to confirm packaging type and lead-free status. Confirm that the component meets RoHS requirements if applicable to your manufacturing process. Ensure the selected variant matches the required shipping configuration for your assembly line.
Select this component when a high-voltage NPN transistor is required for general-purpose amplification. Compare its 140 V collector-emitter rating against circuit requirements to ensure adequate headroom. Evaluate the thermal resistance values to determine if heatsinking is necessary for continuous operation above ambient temperatures.
This component belongs to the 2N5550/2N5551 family of NPN silicon transistors designed for amplifier applications. The 2N5550 variant specifically provides a 140 V collector-emitter breakdown voltage, distinguishing it from higher-rated counterparts like the 2N5551. It utilizes a standard through-hole TO-92 form factor compatible with legacy and modern printed circuit board layouts.
The 2N5551BU serves as a verified substitute part number offering similar functionality with higher voltage ratings.
