2SC5096-R,LF

Overview

The 2SC5096-R,LF is an NPN bipolar RF small signal transistor manufactured by Toshiba Semiconductor and Storage. Designed for ultra-high frequency applications, it operates with a maximum collector-emitter voltage of 10V and a maximum collector current of 15mA. The device features a transition frequency of 10GHz and delivers a power gain of 1.4dB at 1GHz. It exhibits a noise figure of 1.4dB at 1GHz and has a maximum power dissipation of 100mW. Packaged in the SC-75 (SOT-416) surface-mount format, this component is optimized for low-noise performance in UHF band circuits.

Feature Summary

• Optimized for low-noise operation in ultra-high frequency bands
• High-speed performance with a 10GHz transition frequency
• Compact surface-mount packaging suitable for space-constrained designs

Applications

• UHF band amplifier stages
• Low-noise front-end receiver modules
• RF signal processing circuits

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering code suffix to ensure compliance with RoHS standards and lead-free requirements. Confirm that the SC-75 package variant matches the intended PCB footprint. Cross-reference the manufacturer's latest datasheet to validate electrical parameters against current production batches. Ensure storage conditions adhere to moisture sensitivity levels specified for surface-mount devices.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-noise NPN transistor is required for frequencies up to 10GHz. The 1.4dB noise figure makes it suitable for sensitive receiver inputs. Consider the 100mW power dissipation limit for thermal management in dense layouts. Compare against alternative SOT-416 packages if pin compatibility is critical for existing board designs.
