2SC3932GSL

Overview

The Panasonic 2SC3932GSL is a silicon NPN epitaxial planar transistor designed for high-frequency amplification, oscillation, and mixing applications. It operates with a maximum collector-emitter voltage of 20 V and a collector current limit of 50 mA. The device features a transition frequency (fT) ranging from 800 MHz to 1600 MHz depending on the rank classification. It is housed in an SMini3-F2 surface-mount package, which supports downsizing and automated tape packing insertion.

Feature Summary

• High transition frequency suitable for RF signal processing
• SMini type package enabling equipment miniaturization
• Automated insertion compatibility via tape packing

Applications

• High-frequency amplification circuits
• Oscillation circuits
• Mixing circuits

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific fT rank required for the application, as performance varies between the T, S, and No-rank classifications. Confirm that the SMini3-F2 package dimensions align with the target PCB layout. Ensure compliance with RoHS directives if applicable to the manufacturing process.

Selection Notes

Select based on the required transition frequency range; Rank S offers the highest performance up to 1600 MHz. Consider the low reverse transfer capacitance for stability in high-frequency designs. Verify thermal management requirements against the 150 mW power dissipation limit at 25°C ambient temperature.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Panasonic 2SC3932 series of small-signal RF transistors. It is specifically engineered for compact consumer electronics and communication devices where space constraints are critical. The SMini package represents a move toward smaller footprints compared to traditional leaded packages.

Replacement Considerations

No direct public substitute part numbers are documented in the provided datasheet. Designers should evaluate other NPN RF transistors with similar fT ratings and SMini/SOT-323 compatible packages.
