The onsemi 2N5551 is an NPN silicon general-purpose amplifier transistor designed for high-voltage applications. It operates with a collector-emitter voltage of 160 V and a collector-base voltage of 180 V, supporting a continuous collector current of 600 mA. The device features a DC current gain (hFE) ranging from 80 to 250 at IC = 10 mA and VCE = 5.0 V. Total power dissipation is rated at 625 mW, with a junction-to-case thermal resistance of 83.3 °C/W. The transition frequency (fT) is specified at 100 MHz under standard test conditions.
Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's official documentation before procurement. Suffixes such as TA, TFR, TF, and BU indicate distinct packaging formats including Ammo Pack, Tape & Reel, and Bulk Bag. Confirm that the selected variant matches the required shipping quantity and lead time specifications provided in the latest datasheet revision.
Select the 2N5551 when circuit requirements demand high collector-emitter breakdown voltage alongside moderate signal bandwidth. Ensure the operating ambient temperature remains within the -55°C to +150°C range. Verify that the total power dissipation does not exceed 625 mW and apply appropriate derating factors above 25°C to maintain safe junction temperatures during operation.
The 2N5551 belongs to the 2N5551 series of NPN bipolar junction transistors manufactured by onsemi. It utilizes a TO-92-3 package configuration available in Case 135AR or Case 135AN variants. This component serves as a discrete semiconductor solution for linear and switching circuits requiring robust high-voltage handling capabilities in a through-hole form factor.
