Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the 2SC5964-S-TD-H is determined by the following critical electrical and mechanical parameters:

Primary Substitution Criteria:

• Transistor Type: NPN
• Voltage - Collector Emitter Breakdown (Max): 50 V or greater
• Current - Collector (Ic) (Max): 3 A or greater
• Package / Case: TO-243AA
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount
• DC Current Gain (hFE) (Min): 200 or greater @ 100mA, 2V
• Vce Saturation (Max): 290mV or less @ 100mA, 2A

Secondary Compatibility Factors:

• Frequency - Transition: 380 MHz or greater
• Power - Max: 1.3 W or greater
• Current - Collector Cutoff (Max): 1 µA or less
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)

Substitute parts are grouped into two categories: Direct Substitutes (identical electrical specifications and packaging) and Similar Substitutes (compatible electrical specifications with minor parameter variations that do not affect circuit operation within the specified design envelope).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Direct Substitutes (Preferred):

The 2SC5964-TD-E and 2SC5964-TD-H are direct substitutes for the obsolete 2SC5964-S-TD-H. Both parts are manufactured by onsemi with active product status and ROHS3 compliance. These devices maintain identical electrical specifications including 50 V breakdown voltage, 3 A collector current, 200 minimum DC current gain, and 290 mV maximum saturation voltage. The 2SC5964-TD-H is available in Tape & Reel packaging with 4829 pieces in stock, while the 2SC5964-TD-E is available in Cut Tape & Digi-Reel packaging with 2255 pieces in stock. Both offer enhanced power dissipation capability (3.5 W) compared to the original part (1.3 W), providing improved thermal performance in the same package footprint.

Compatible Substitutes:

The 2SC5994-TD-E is a compatible substitute with active product status and ROHS3 compliance. This part maintains the 50 V breakdown voltage and 200 minimum DC current gain but operates at reduced maximum collector current (2 A versus 3 A) and identical power dissipation (1.3 W). The 2SC5994-TD-E features higher transition frequency (420 MHz versus 380 MHz), making it suitable for applications where the 3 A current rating is not required.

The 2SD1624T-TD-E is a compatible substitute with active product status and ROHS3 compliance. This part maintains the 50 V breakdown voltage, 3 A collector current, and 200 minimum DC current gain but operates at reduced transition frequency (150 MHz versus 380 MHz) and reduced power dissipation (500 mW versus 1.3 W). The 2SD1624T-TD-E exhibits higher saturation voltage (500 mV versus 290 mV) and is suitable for lower-frequency switching applications.

The 2STF1360 manufactured by STMicroelectronics is a compatible substitute with active product status and ROHS3 compliance. This part maintains the 3 A collector current and similar power dissipation (1.4 W) but operates at higher breakdown voltage (60 V versus 50 V), lower transition frequency (130 MHz versus 380 MHz), and lower minimum DC current gain (160 versus 200). The 2STF1360 is packaged in SOT-89-3 configuration and exhibits higher saturation voltage (500 mV versus 290 mV).

Selection Criteria:

For direct replacement in existing designs, select 2SC5964-TD-H or 2SC5964-TD-E. For applications requiring reduced current capability, select 2SC5994-TD-E. For low-frequency switching applications, select 2SD1624T-TD-E. For designs requiring higher voltage rating, select 2STF1360. All substitute parts maintain REACH compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 2SC5964-TD-E directly replace the obsolete 2SC5964-S-TD-H?

A: Yes. The 2SC5964-TD-E is a direct substitute with identical electrical specifications: 50 V breakdown voltage, 3 A maximum collector current, 200 minimum DC current gain, 290 mV maximum saturation voltage, and 380 MHz transition frequency. Both devices are packaged in TO-243AA surface mount configuration. The 2SC5964-TD-E has active product status and ROHS3 compliance.

Q: What is the difference between 2SC5964-TD-E and 2SC5964-TD-H?

A: Both parts are electrically identical with the same specifications. The primary difference is packaging format: 2SC5964-TD-E is supplied in Cut Tape & Digi-Reel format, while 2SC5964-TD-H is supplied in Tape & Reel format. Select based on your procurement and assembly requirements.

Q: Can I use 2SC5994-TD-E as a substitute if my application requires 3 A collector current?

A: No. The 2SC5994-TD-E is rated for maximum 2 A collector current, which is below the 3 A requirement of the original part. Use this substitute only in applications where the maximum required collector current does not exceed 2 A.

Q: Is the 2SD1624T-TD-E suitable for high-frequency applications?

A: No. The 2SD1624T-TD-E operates at 150 MHz transition frequency, which is significantly lower than the original part's 380 MHz. Use this substitute only in applications where the operating frequency does not exceed 150 MHz.

Q: What are the advantages of using 2SC5964-TD-H over the original 2SC5964-S-TD-H?

A: The 2SC5964-TD-H offers improved power dissipation capability (3.5 W versus 1.3 W) while maintaining identical electrical specifications and package footprint. This provides better thermal performance and reliability in the same physical space. Additionally, the 2SC5964-TD-H has active product status, ensuring long-term availability.

Q: Can I use 2STF1360 as a substitute in my existing design?

A: The 2STF1360 is compatible with the original part in applications where the higher breakdown voltage (60 V versus 50 V) is acceptable and the lower transition frequency (130 MHz versus 380 MHz) meets your requirements. However, the 2STF1360 exhibits higher saturation voltage (500 mV versus 290 mV) and lower minimum DC current gain (160 versus 200), which may affect circuit performance. Verify compatibility with your specific application requirements before substitution.

Q: Are all substitute parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. All active substitute parts listed (2SC5964-TD-E, 2SC5964-TD-H, 2SD1624T-TD-E, 2SC5994-TD-E, and 2STF1360) are ROHS3 compliant. All parts maintain REACH compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating (MSL 1).

Q: What is the recommended substitute for new designs?

A: For new designs, use 2SC5964-TD-H or 2SC5964-TD-E. Both parts are direct substitutes with active product status, ROHS3 compliance, and enhanced power dissipation capability. These parts ensure design compatibility and long-term component availability.
