2SC6098-E Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The 2SC6098-E is an NPN bipolar junction transistor manufactured by onsemi, rated for 80 V collector-emitter breakdown voltage and 2.5 A maximum collector current. This device is designed for through-hole mounting in TO-251-3 (IPak) package configuration and delivers 800 mW maximum power dissipation with a transition frequency of 350 MHz. The 2SC6098-E is classified as obsolete, making identification of functionally equivalent substitute parts essential for ongoing design support and production continuity.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the 2SC6098-E is determined by electrical and mechanical parameter equivalence. The primary substitution criteria are:

Electrical Parameters (Must Match):

• Transistor Type: NPN
• Voltage - Collector Emitter Breakdown (Max): 80 V
• Current - Collector (Ic) (Max): 2.5 A
• Power - Max: 800 mW
• Frequency - Transition: 350 MHz
• DC Current Gain (hFE) (Min) @ Ic, Vce: 300 @ 100mA, 5V
• Vce Saturation (Max) @ Ib, Ic: 165mV @ 50mA, 1A
• Current - Collector Cutoff (Max): 1 µA (ICBO)
• Operating Temperature (TJ): 150°C

Mechanical Parameters (Package Dependent):

• Mounting Type: Through Hole or Surface Mount
• Package / Case: TO-251-3 or equivalent surface mount variants

The 2SC6098-TL-E is identified as a substitute part with identical electrical specifications. The primary difference is the mounting technology: the 2SC6098-TL-E uses surface mount (DPAK/SC-63) packaging instead of through-hole configuration. This substitution is valid only when the application circuit board supports surface mount assembly.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

2SC6098-TL-E Selection Criteria:

The 2SC6098-TL-E is electrically equivalent to the 2SC6098-E across all specified parameters. Both devices are classified as obsolete products. Selection between these parts is determined solely by circuit board assembly technology:

• Through-Hole Assembly: Use 2SC6098-E with TO-251-3 (IPak) package
• Surface Mount Assembly: Use 2SC6098-TL-E with TO-252-3 (DPAK/SC-63) package

Both parts maintain identical REACH compliance status (REACH Unaffected) and moisture sensitivity classification (MSL 1 - Unlimited). The 2SC6098-TL-E carries RoHS3 compliance certification, whereas the 2SC6098-E compliance status is not specified in the provided data.

No electrical performance difference exists between these parts. The substitution is valid based on mechanical packaging compatibility with the target assembly process.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 2SC6098-TL-E replace the 2SC6098-E in an existing through-hole circuit board?

A: No. The 2SC6098-TL-E uses surface mount packaging (DPAK/SC-63), while the 2SC6098-E uses through-hole packaging (TO-251-3). Physical board layout and assembly process must support the specific package type. Mechanical compatibility is required for proper installation.

Q: Are the electrical specifications identical between 2SC6098-E and 2SC6098-TL-E?

A: Yes. Both devices share identical electrical parameters: 80 V breakdown voltage, 2.5 A maximum collector current, 800 mW power dissipation, 350 MHz transition frequency, and all DC characteristics including current gain and saturation voltage.

Q: What is the difference between TO-251-3 and TO-252-3 packages?

A: TO-251-3 (IPak) is a through-hole package with leads inserted into circuit board holes. TO-252-3 (DPAK) is a surface mount package with leads soldered directly to board pads. These packages are mechanically incompatible and require different assembly processes.

Q: Are both parts still in production?

A: No. Both the 2SC6098-E and 2SC6098-TL-E are classified as obsolete products. Inventory availability is limited to existing stock.

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

A: Both parts carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) classification, indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions during storage or handling.

Q: Does the 2SC6098-TL-E have better compliance certifications than the 2SC6098-E?

A: The 2SC6098-TL-E is certified RoHS3 compliant. The 2SC6098-E compliance status is not specified in the provided data. Both parts maintain identical REACH Unaffected status.
