Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute grouping is based strictly on equivalence in the following key parameters: transistor type (NPN), maximum collector current (10 A), collector-emitter breakdown voltage (80 V), mounting type (Through Hole), and package/case (TO-204AA, TO-3). Only those devices meeting these criteria are considered as substitutes, per accepted engineering standards for the Transistors, Bipolar (BJT) category.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The primary part, 2N5626, is designated as Active, while the substitute part, 2N3716 PBFREE, is listed as Obsolete. The substitute part is RoHS3 compliant and classified as Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) 1 (Unlimited). Both parts have equivalent REACH unaffected status and ECCN code EAR99. Selection should consider current lifecycle status and desired compliance attributes as provided.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What are the key criteria for substituting the 2N5626 in a design?
A: Substitution requires matching transistor type (NPN), collector current (10 A), collector-emitter breakdown voltage (80 V), package/case (TO-204AA, TO-3), mounting type (Through Hole), and operating temperature.

Q: Are mounting and mechanical package equivalence mandatory for substitution?
A: Yes. Both 2N5626 and 2N3716 PBFREE are supplied in TO-204AA, TO-3 through-hole packages, meeting mechanical compatibility criteria.

Q: Is the substitute part 2N3716 PBFREE currently available for new designs?
A: 2N3716 PBFREE is listed as Obsolete. Inventory status should be verified for ongoing procurement, in accordance with the input parameters.

Q: Does compliance status (RoHS or REACH) affect substitution eligibility?
A: Compliance status is a key consideration. Both parts are REACH unaffected; substitute is RoHS3 compliant.

Q: Can differences in Vce Saturation or Power rating affect substitution?
A: Substitute selection in this category is based on the explicitly listed core electrical thresholds, mechanical, and compliance parameters as provided.
