Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution logic for the 2N1613 is strictly based on the following key parameters: transistor type (NPN), maximum collector-emitter voltage, maximum collector current, minimum DC current gain at specified conditions, maximum collector cutoff current, and package compatibility (TO-205AD, TO-39-3 Metal Can). Compatible substitute parts must match or exceed these parameters to ensure function and fit within application requirements.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the main part (2N1613) and its substitute (2N697A PBFREE) possess active product status and are available in the TO-39 (TO-205AD) metal can package. The substitute part also maintains ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, matching or exceeding all listed compliance and certification requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
