2SC5011-A Equivalent & Substitute Parts Reference

Part Overview

The 2SC5011-A, manufactured by CEL, is an NPN RF Bipolar Junction Transistor (BJT) specifically designed for high-frequency operation up to 6.5GHz, with a maximum collector-emitter voltage of 12V and a collector current rating of 100mA. It is packaged in a SC-82A (SOT-343) surface-mount package and offers a low noise figure of 1.1dB at 1GHz. This part is currently classified as Obsolete, creating a need for equivalent and substitute parts to support ongoing designs and repairs that originally specified the 2SC5011-A.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution is based strictly on the following key parameters: transistor type (NPN), maximum collector-emitter voltage (12V), package and mounting compatibility (SC-82A, SOT-343 surface mount), frequency range (GHz), noise figure, maximum collector current and power rating, DC current gain at comparable test conditions, and compliance information (MSL, REACH, ECCN, and HTSUS). Substitute parts must match the main part in these characteristics and remain within specified limits to be considered equivalent replacements.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Selection of BFP196WH6327XTSA1 as a substitute for 2SC5011-A is supported by alignment in product compliance (REACH Unaffected, ECCN EAR99, MSL 1), identical mounting type, and package compatibility. The substitute part type and key performance parameters correspond to those of the original obsolete part.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What are the key parameters for selecting an equivalent NPN RF transistor in this category?
A1: Selection strictly relies on transistor type (NPN), maximum collector-emitter voltage, package and mounting type, transition frequency, noise figure, maximum collector current, power handling capability, and current gain at specific test conditions. Product compliance details such as MSL and REACH status are also required.

Q2: Is the package/compliance information identical between 2SC5011-A and BFP196WH6327XTSA1?
A2: Both utilize the SC-82A, SOT-343 surface-mount package and report MSL 1 (Unlimited) and REACH Unaffected status.

Q3: Can BFP196WH6327XTSA1 be fitted into existing PCBs designed for 2SC5011-A?
A3: Both parts are in the same package (SC-82A, SOT-343) and have surface mount configuration, allowing for fitment based on the information provided.

Q4: Are there differences in electrical characteristics to consider during substitution?
A4: The substitute part lists a higher maximum frequency and power, and a wider current gain range at slightly different test conditions. All key parameters required for substitution fall within the necessary range as specified.

Q5: What compliance statuses are shared by both parts?
A5: Both 2SC5011-A and BFP196WH6327XTSA1 are listed as REACH Unaffected, have an ECCN of EAR99, HTSUS of 8541.21.0075, and have Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited).
