2SC6082 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The 2SC6082 is an NPN bipolar junction transistor manufactured by onsemi, rated for 50 V collector-emitter breakdown voltage and 15 A maximum collector current. The device is packaged in TO-220-3 configuration and rated for 2 W maximum power dissipation with a transition frequency of 195 MHz. The 2SC6082 is classified as obsolete, necessitating identification of active equivalent parts for new designs and ongoing production requirements. Direct substitutes are available from the same manufacturer in active product status, maintaining identical electrical specifications and mechanical compatibility.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the 2SC6082 is determined by strict equivalence across all electrical and mechanical parameters. The substitute parts 2SC6082-1E and 2SC6082-EPN-1E are direct equivalents manufactured by onsemi under the same base product number. Substitution criteria are based on the following parameters:

Transistor Type: NPN configuration must be maintained
Voltage Rating: Collector-emitter breakdown voltage of 50 V (minimum)
Current Rating: Maximum collector current of 15 A
Power Dissipation: 2 W maximum power rating
Frequency Performance: Transition frequency of 195 MHz
Saturation Characteristics: Vce saturation of 400 mV @ 375 mA, 7.5 A
Current Gain: DC current gain (hFE) minimum of 200 @ 330 mA, 2 V
Mounting Configuration: Through-hole technology in TO-220-3 package

All substitute parts maintain identical electrical specifications and mechanical compatibility with the original 2SC6082 device.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 2SC6082-1E and 2SC6082-EPN-1E are direct functional equivalents of the obsolete 2SC6082. Both substitute parts are manufactured by onsemi and maintain complete electrical and mechanical compatibility with the original device.

2SC6082-1E is recommended for applications requiring active product status with ROHS3 compliance certification. This part is available in tube packaging and carries active product designation.

2SC6082-EPN-1E is recommended for applications requiring active product status with ROHS3 compliance certification and unlimited moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1). This part is available in tube packaging and carries active product designation.

Both substitute parts are suitable for direct replacement in existing designs. The transition from the obsolete 2SC6082 to either active equivalent requires no circuit modifications, as all electrical parameters and mechanical interfaces remain identical. Selection between the two active substitutes should be based on packaging requirements and inventory availability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 2SC6082-1E and 2SC6082-EPN-1E be used interchangeably with the original 2SC6082?

A: Yes. Both substitute parts maintain identical electrical specifications and mechanical compatibility. All key parameters including voltage rating, current rating, power dissipation, frequency response, and saturation characteristics are equivalent to the original 2SC6082.

Q: What is the primary difference between 2SC6082-1E and 2SC6082-EPN-1E?

A: Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical. The primary difference is the moisture sensitivity level designation: 2SC6082-1E does not specify MSL, while 2SC6082-EPN-1E is rated MSL 1 (Unlimited). Both are ROHS3 compliant and carry active product status.

Q: Why is the original 2SC6082 classified as obsolete?

A: The 2SC6082 is listed as obsolete by the manufacturer. Direct substitutes in active product status are available from onsemi under part numbers 2SC6082-1E and 2SC6082-EPN-1E, which maintain complete functional equivalence.

Q: Are there any package differences between the main part and substitute parts?

A: The main part 2SC6082 uses TO-220ML packaging, while both substitute parts use TO-220F-3SG packaging. Both are TO-220-3 full pack configurations and are mechanically compatible for through-hole mounting applications.

Q: What compliance certifications apply to the substitute parts?

A: Both 2SC6082-1E and 2SC6082-EPN-1E are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected. The original 2SC6082 is REACH unaffected but does not specify RoHS status.

Q: Can these parts be used in new designs?

A: Yes. The substitute parts 2SC6082-1E and 2SC6082-EPN-1E carry active product status and are suitable for new design implementations. Both parts maintain the complete electrical and mechanical specifications required for applications originally designed around the 2SC6082.
