2SC5200 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The 2SC5200 is an NPN bipolar junction transistor manufactured by STMicroelectronics, rated for 230 V collector-emitter breakdown voltage and 15 A maximum collector current. This device is classified as obsolete, necessitating identification of active equivalent and substitute components for ongoing applications. The 2SC5200 is packaged in TO-264-3 and TO-264AA through-hole configurations and delivers 150 W maximum power dissipation with a 30 MHz transition frequency. Equivalent parts must maintain electrical compatibility across voltage, current, and power ratings while accommodating packaging and thermal requirements.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the 2SC5200 is determined by electrical parameter compatibility across five critical dimensions: collector-emitter breakdown voltage, maximum collector current, maximum power dissipation, transition frequency, and operating temperature range. Substitute parts must meet or exceed the 2SC5200 specifications in voltage and current ratings to ensure safe operation in existing circuit designs. Package compatibility is evaluated separately, as through-hole mounting types TO-264-3, TO-264AA, and TO-3P(L) are mechanically interchangeable in most applications. The following substitute parts are grouped by their electrical equivalence to the 2SC5200:

Group 1 - Direct Electrical Equivalents (Active Status): Parts maintaining 230 V minimum breakdown voltage, 15 A minimum collector current, and 150 W power rating with active product status.

Group 2 - Enhanced Electrical Equivalents (Active Status): Parts exceeding 2SC5200 specifications in voltage and/or current ratings while maintaining compatible package types and active product status.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

2SC5200-O(Q) (Toshiba Semiconductor and Storage): This part maintains electrical equivalence to the 2SC5200 with identical voltage (230 V), current (15 A), power (150 W), and transition frequency (30 MHz) specifications. The 2SC5200-O(Q) carries active product status and ROHS3 compliance. Package configuration differs as TO-3PL versus the original TO-264-3/TO-264AA; mechanical compatibility must be verified for specific board layouts. DC current gain is enhanced at 80 @ 1A, 5V compared to the original 55 @ 1A, 5V specification.

2SC5200OTU (onsemi): This part exceeds 2SC5200 specifications with 250 V breakdown voltage and 17 A maximum collector current while maintaining 150 W power dissipation and 30 MHz transition frequency. Package configuration matches the original TO-264-3/TO-264AA. Operating temperature range extends to -50°C minimum, providing broader thermal coverage. Active product status and ROHS3 compliance are confirmed. DC current gain is 80 @ 1A, 5V.

MJL21194G and MJL21196G (onsemi): Both parts provide enhanced electrical specifications with 250 V breakdown voltage, 16 A collector current, and 200 W power dissipation. Package configuration matches TO-264-3/TO-264AA. Transition frequency is reduced to 4 MHz, suitable for lower-frequency applications. Operating temperature range extends to -65°C minimum. Active product status and ROHS3 compliance are confirmed. DC current gain is 25 @ 8A, 5V. These parts are electrically superior in voltage and power ratings but operate at lower switching frequencies than the original 2SC5200.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 2SC5200-O(Q) directly replace the 2SC5200 in existing designs?

A: The 2SC5200-O(Q) maintains electrical equivalence in voltage (230 V), current (15 A), power (150 W), and frequency (30 MHz) specifications. However, the package differs: 2SC5200-O(Q) uses TO-3PL while the original uses TO-264-3/TO-264AA. Mechanical compatibility with the printed circuit board layout must be verified before substitution.

Q: What is the primary advantage of 2SC5200OTU over the original 2SC5200?

A: The 2SC5200OTU provides enhanced voltage rating (250 V versus 230 V) and higher collector current (17 A versus 15 A) while maintaining identical power (150 W) and frequency (30 MHz) specifications. Package configuration is identical (TO-264-3/TO-264AA), and operating temperature range is extended to -50°C minimum. Active product status ensures ongoing availability.

Q: When should MJL21194G or MJL21196G be selected instead of direct equivalents?

A: MJL21194G and MJL21196G are selected when applications require enhanced power dissipation (200 W versus 150 W) and higher voltage ratings (250 V). These parts are suitable for low-frequency applications operating at 4 MHz transition frequency. Applications requiring the original 30 MHz transition frequency should use 2SC5200OTU or 2SC5200-O(Q) instead.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. All substitute parts listed—2SC5200-O(Q), 2SC5200OTU, MJL21194G, and MJL21196G—carry ROHS3 compliance certification, matching the original 2SC5200 environmental standard.

Q: What is the difference between TO-264-3/TO-264AA and TO-3PL packaging?

A: TO-264-3 and TO-264AA are equivalent through-hole package designations. TO-3PL is an alternative through-hole package used by the 2SC5200-O(Q). While both are through-hole configurations, physical dimensions and pin layouts differ. Board layout compatibility must be confirmed before substitution.

Q: Can MJL21194G and MJL21196G be used in high-frequency switching applications?

A: MJL21194G and MJL21196G operate at 4 MHz transition frequency, which is significantly lower than the 2SC5200 specification of 30 MHz. These parts are not suitable for applications requiring high-frequency switching performance. Use 2SC5200OTU or 2SC5200-O(Q) for 30 MHz frequency requirements.

Q: What is the inventory status of substitute parts?

A: 2SC5200-O(Q) has 10,100 pieces in stock; 2SC5200OTU has 6,320 pieces; MJL21194G has 1,636 pieces; MJL21196G has 2,016 pieces. All substitute parts maintain active product status with confirmed availability.
