Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the 2SC382900L is determined by electrical and mechanical compatibility across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Compatibility Criteria:

• Transistor type must be NPN
• Voltage - Collector Emitter Breakdown (Max) must be 10V or greater
• Power - Max must be 200mW or greater
• Operating Temperature (TJ) must be 150°C or greater
• Mounting Type must be Surface Mount
• Package / Case must be compatible with TO-236-3, SC-59, SOT-23-3 footprint

Frequency and Gain Considerations:

• Transition frequency of 6GHz or higher supports RF applications at the specified operating point
• DC Current Gain (hFE) and Noise Figure characteristics may vary within acceptable ranges for RF circuit operation

The 2SC5227A-5-TB-E manufactured by onsemi meets all electrical and mechanical substitution criteria for the 2SC382900L.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 2SC5227A-5-TB-E is a direct electrical and mechanical substitute for the 2SC382900L. Both devices share identical voltage ratings, power dissipation limits, operating temperature ranges, and package configurations.

The 2SC5227A-5-TB-E offers higher transition frequency (7GHz versus 6GHz) and improved noise figure performance (1dB @ 1GHz versus 2dB @ 800MHz), providing enhanced RF performance characteristics. The maximum collector current is 70mA compared to 80mA on the original part; circuit designs must confirm that operating collector current does not exceed 70mA.

The 2SC5227A-5-TB-E is RoHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements. Both parts are classified as obsolete; however, the 2SC5227A-5-TB-E maintains higher inventory availability (6498 pieces in stock versus 1092 pieces for the original part).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 2SC5227A-5-TB-E be used as a direct replacement for the 2SC382900L in existing circuit designs?

A: The 2SC5227A-5-TB-E is electrically and mechanically compatible with the 2SC382900L. Both devices operate at 10V maximum collector-emitter voltage, dissipate 200mW maximum power, and use identical Surface Mount TO-236-3 / SOT-23-3 packages. Circuit designs must confirm that operating collector current does not exceed 70mA, as the substitute part has a lower maximum collector current rating (70mA versus 80mA).

Q: What are the key differences between these two parts?

A: The 2SC5227A-5-TB-E has a higher transition frequency (7GHz versus 6GHz) and lower noise figure (1dB @ 1GHz versus 2dB @ 800MHz). The substitute part has a lower maximum collector current (70mA versus 80mA) and different DC current gain characteristics (135 @ 20mA, 5V versus 50 @ 20mA, 8V). These differences result in improved RF performance but require verification that circuit operating points remain within the substitute part's specifications.

Q: Are the package footprints identical?

A: Both the 2SC382900L and 2SC5227A-5-TB-E use the same package designation: TO-236-3, SC-59, SOT-23-3. The physical footprints are identical, allowing direct PCB layout compatibility without redesign.

Q: What is the moisture sensitivity level for both parts?

A: Both parts are rated MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions during storage, handling, or assembly operations.

Q: Does the 2SC5227A-5-TB-E meet current environmental compliance standards?

A: The 2SC5227A-5-TB-E is RoHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected. The 2SC382900L compliance status is not specified in the provided data.
