Equivalent & Substitute Parts Reference: 2SC2873-Y-TP

Part Overview

The 2SC2873-Y-TP, manufactured by Micro Commercial Co, is an active NPN bipolar junction transistor (BJT) provided in a surface mount SOT-89 (TO-243AA) package. Its functional specifications include a maximum collector current of 2 A, a collector-emitter breakdown voltage of 50 V, and a transition frequency of 120 MHz. The need to find alternative models arises when inventory, packaging style, manufacturer preference, or compliance requirements dictate a change. Substituting with equivalent BJTs from the same category aligns with standard engineering practice when critical electrical and mechanical parameters are consistent.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution within the Transistors, Bipolar (BJT) category is based strictly on compliance with crucial electrical and mechanical parameters. Allowed substitute parts must match the following criteria: transistor type (NPN), maximum collector current, maximum collector-emitter breakdown voltage, mounting type, and package or case. Evaluation includes Vce saturation, cutoff current, DC gain, power dissipation, transition frequency, and operating temperature only as provided. Packaging and inventory status are considered as supplied.
