2N5062G Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The 2N5062G is a sensitive gate silicon-controlled rectifier (SCR) manufactured by onsemi, rated for 100 V off-state voltage and 800 mA RMS on-state current in a TO-92-3 through-hole package. This component is classified as obsolete, making equivalent substitute parts necessary for new designs and ongoing production requirements. The 2N5062G serves in applications requiring low-gate-trigger-current thyristor switching, particularly in circuits where gate drive capability is limited.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the 2N5062G is determined by strict equivalence across the following electrical and mechanical parameters:

• Off-state voltage rating: 100 V minimum
• Gate trigger voltage (Vgt): 800 mV maximum
• RMS on-state current: 800 mA minimum
• On-state voltage drop (Vtm): within acceptable thermal design margins
• Gate trigger current (Igt): sensitive gate characteristic (≤ 200 µA)
• Hold current (Ih): 5 mA maximum
• Package type: TO-92-3 through-hole configuration
• SCR classification: Sensitive Gate type

The substitute parts P0130AA 1EA3 and P0130AA 2AL3, both manufactured by STMicroelectronics, meet these electrical specifications and physical package requirements. Both parts are active products with extended temperature ranges and RoHS3 compliance, providing long-term availability advantages over the obsolete 2N5062G.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both P0130AA 1EA3 and P0130AA 2AL3 are direct functional equivalents to the 2N5062G for new designs and production transitions. Selection between these two STMicroelectronics variants depends on packaging and supply requirements:

P0130AA 1EA3 is supplied in bulk packaging and is suitable for high-volume manufacturing environments with internal tape-and-reel handling capabilities.

P0130AA 2AL3 is supplied in cut tape (CT) format with formed leads, providing ready-to-use configuration for automated assembly equipment and lower-volume production runs.

Both substitute parts offer superior product lifecycle status (active vs. obsolete), extended operating temperature range (-40 to 125 °C vs. -40 to 110 °C), and RoHS3 compliance certification. The STMicroelectronics P0130 series demonstrates improved gate trigger current specification (1 µA vs. 200 µA), reducing gate drive circuit complexity in sensitive applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can P0130AA 1EA3 and P0130AA 2AL3 be used interchangeably with the 2N5062G?

A: Yes. Both parts meet the electrical specifications of the 2N5062G across voltage ratings, current ratings, and gate trigger characteristics. Physical package dimensions (TO-92-3) are identical, enabling direct board-level substitution without layout modification.

Q: What is the difference between P0130AA 1EA3 and P0130AA 2AL3?

A: The electrical specifications are identical. The difference is packaging format: P0130AA 1EA3 is supplied in bulk, while P0130AA 2AL3 is supplied in cut tape with formed leads. Selection depends on manufacturing process requirements and supply chain logistics.

Q: Why do the substitute parts show lower gate trigger current (Igt) specifications?

A: The P0130AA series specifies 1 µA maximum gate trigger current compared to the 2N5062G specification of 200 µA. This represents improved device performance and does not affect substitution compatibility. Circuits designed for the 2N5062G will operate with the P0130AA series without modification.

Q: Are there temperature range considerations for substitution?

A: The substitute parts operate across -40 to 125 °C, extending 15 °C above the 2N5062G maximum of 110 °C. This provides additional thermal margin for applications operating near temperature limits. No derating is required for equivalent operating conditions.

Q: What compliance certifications apply to the substitute parts?

A: Both P0130AA variants are RoHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements for electronic component manufacturing and distribution.
