2N6517RLRP

Bipolar Overview

The onsemi 2N6517RLRP is an NPN silicon epitaxial planar transistor housed in a TO-92 package. It features a collector-emitter voltage of 350 Vdc and a continuous collector current of 500 mAdc. The device supports a total power dissipation of 625 mW at 25°C ambient temperature, with a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance of 200 °C/W. Electrical characteristics include a DC current gain ranging from 15 to 200 at specified currents, a transition frequency up to 200 MHz, and a maximum operating junction temperature of +150 °C.

Bipolar Feature Summary

• High voltage capability with a 350 V collector-emitter breakdown rating
• Suitable for medium power applications with 500 mA continuous collector current
• Designed for high-speed switching with a transition frequency up to 200 MHz

Bipolar Applications

• High voltage amplifier circuits
• Switching regulators
• Inverter circuits

Bipolar Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix RLRP corresponds to the Tape & Ammo Box packaging configuration as documented in the official datasheet. Confirm that the component meets RoHS compliance requirements if applicable to the design specifications. Ensure the procurement channel provides valid traceability documentation consistent with onsemi manufacturing standards.

Bipolar Selection Notes

Select this component when a high-voltage NPN transistor with moderate current handling is required. The 350 V rating distinguishes it from lower voltage alternatives like the 2N6515. Consider the thermal resistance and power dissipation limits relative to the expected load conditions and ambient temperature environment during circuit design.

Bipolar Part Context

This part belongs to the 2N65xx series of high voltage transistors manufactured by onsemi. The series includes complementary PNP variants such as the 2N6520. The device utilizes an epitaxial silicon construction within a standard through-hole TO-92 case style, designed for robust performance in general-purpose electronic applications requiring high voltage isolation.

Bipolar Replacement Considerations

The 2N6517BU serves as a verified alternative within the same product family. Both components share identical electrical ratings and pin configurations, allowing for direct substitution in designs where the bulk packaging of the BU variant is acceptable.
