The Microchip Technology 2N5871 is a silicon PNP power bipolar junction transistor (BJT) designed for high-power applications. It features a collector-base voltage of 60 V and a collector-emitter voltage of 60 V, supporting a continuous collector current of 7 A. The device operates with a maximum power dissipation of 115 W in a TO-3 through-hole package. It exhibits a transition frequency of 4 MHz, suitable for switching and amplification tasks requiring robust thermal performance and high current handling capabilities.
Verify the manufacturer origin carefully, as the 2N5871 specification has been historically produced by multiple vendors including Harris and New Jersey Semi-Conductor. Ensure the specific datasheet aligns with your design requirements regarding pinout and thermal characteristics. Confirm RoHS compliance status if required for your manufacturing process, as historical data indicates variations across different production batches and suppliers.
Select this component when designing circuits requiring a PNP power transistor with moderate voltage ratings and high current capacity. The TO-3 package necessitates appropriate heat sinking solutions to maintain safe operating temperatures. Consider the 4 MHz transition frequency when evaluating high-speed switching limitations compared to modern alternatives.
This component belongs to the class of silicon PNP power transistors. Historically associated with manufacturers like Harris Corporation and RCA, the part number represents a standard military-style specification now available from various semiconductor producers. It serves as a legacy option for high-power analog and switching designs.
Public confirmed substitute part numbers include the 2N5872, which is its complementary NPN counterpart often used in push-pull configurations.
