Equivalent & Substitute Parts Reference for 2N6676

Part Overview

The 2N6676 is an NPN Bipolar (BJT) Transistor manufactured by Microchip Technology, designed for high-current, high-voltage applications. It offers a collector current rating of 15 A and a maximum collector-emitter breakdown voltage of 300 V, supplied in a TO-204AD (TO-3) through-hole package. The product status is active, but identifying equivalent and substitute models is essential for scenarios requiring specified electrical and mechanical characteristics, compliance with regulatory requirements such as RoHS, inventory continuity, or cross-manufacturer part procurement. Finding substitutes is necessary when alternate sourcing, compliance updates, or higher-volume availability are required.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution suitability for the 2N6676 within the Transistors, Bipolar (BJT) category is determined strictly by alignment of the following key parameters: transistor type (NPN), maximum collector current, maximum collector-emitter breakdown voltage, collector cutoff current, minimum DC current gain at specific test conditions, maximum saturation voltage, mechanical mounting type, operating temperature range, package / case style, and environmental compliance status. Only parts matching these electrical and mechanical criteria are classified as substitutes.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Selection of 2N6676 or MJ21196G must consider product status, RoHS compliance, and REACH status. Both parts are listed as active and REACH unaffected. The 2N6676 is designated RoHS non-compliant, while MJ21196G is ROHS3 compliant. Use MJ21196G when RoHS compliance is required. Both are suitable for through-hole mounting in TO-204 (TO-3) style cases.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What are the key parameters to consider when selecting substitutes in the Transistors, Bipolar (BJT) category?
A1: Key parameters include transistor type (NPN), collector current rating, collector-emitter breakdown voltage, collector cutoff current, DC current gain at specified conditions, maximum saturation voltage, mounting type, operating temperature range, package/case style, RoHS status, and REACH status.

Q2: Are 2N6676 and MJ21196G compatible in terms of package and mounting?
A2: Both 2N6676 and MJ21196G are available in TO-204 (TO-3) through-hole packages, ensuring mechanical compatibility for board-level replacements.

Q3: How does RoHS compliance affect selection?
A3: MJ21196G provides ROHS3 compliance, supporting selection where restriction of hazardous materials is essential. 2N6676 is RoHS non-compliant.

Q4: Can substitute parts be used interchangeably?
A4: Substitute use is governed strictly by matching key electrical specifications, mounting requirements, and environmental compliance status as provided.

Q5: Why is product status important in substitute selection?
A5: Only parts designated as active should be selected to ensure ongoing availability and manufacturability. Both 2N6676 and MJ21196G are listed as active.
