Single Bipolar Transistors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix '-Y' to confirm the hFE binning range of 120 to 240, as other variants exist within the same family. Ensure the '-TP' designation matches the required tape and reel packaging format. Confirm compliance requirements such as halogen-free status if indicated by an additional '-HF' suffix on the part number.

Single Bipolar Transistors Selection Notes

Select this component when a moderate power NPN transistor with fast switching characteristics is required. The 5 A current rating and 80 V breakdown voltage suit various medium-power applications. Consider the specific hFE gain bin provided by the 'Y' suffix to ensure compatibility with base drive circuitry requirements.

Single Bipolar Transistors Part Context

This component belongs to the Micro Commercial Components 2SC series of plastic-encapsulated transistors. It utilizes a standard TO-92 leaded package configuration. The device is manufactured using silicon technology and is intended for general electronic applications rather than specialized automotive or aerospace environments.

Single Bipolar Transistors Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other NPN transistors offering similar 5 A current ratings and TO-92 packages. Verify that substitute parts meet the required 80 V collector-emitter voltage and comparable switching speeds.
