BFP460E6327HTSA1 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The BFP460E6327HTSA1 is an RF transistor manufactured by Infineon Technologies, classified as a bipolar NPN transistor designed for high-frequency applications. This device operates at a transition frequency of 22GHz with a maximum collector-emitter breakdown voltage of 5.8V and delivers 230mW maximum power dissipation in a surface mount SC-82A/SOT-343 package.

The BFP460E6327HTSA1 is designated as obsolete. Locating equivalent or substitute components becomes necessary when original stock is depleted or when design flexibility permits alternative devices meeting the same electrical and mechanical requirements. Substitute parts must satisfy the critical performance parameters: NPN transistor type, surface mount packaging, frequency capability, voltage rating, and power handling characteristics.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the BFP460E6327HTSA1 is evaluated based on strict electrical and mechanical compatibility criteria. The following parameters determine substitutability:

Primary Substitution Criteria:

• Transistor type must be NPN
• Mounting type must be surface mount
• Collector-emitter breakdown voltage must equal or exceed 5.8V
• Transition frequency must equal or exceed 22GHz
• Maximum power dissipation must equal or exceed 230mW
• Maximum collector current must equal or exceed 70mA

Secondary Compatibility Factors:

• Package form factor (SC-82A/SOT-343 preferred for direct mechanical replacement)
• DC current gain (hFE) characteristics
• Noise figure performance
• Operating temperature range

The substitute parts identified in this reference are grouped into two categories based on their alignment with these criteria and their current product status.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

2SC5415AE-TD-E (onsemi):

This substitute is classified as obsolete, matching the product status of the main part. It provides higher voltage rating (12V versus 5.8V) and greater power dissipation (800mW versus 230mW). However, the transition frequency of 6.7GHz falls significantly below the 22GHz requirement of the BFP460E6327HTSA1. This frequency limitation restricts its use to applications operating at lower RF frequencies. The device is ROHS3 compliant and maintains identical MSL rating. Package form factor differs (TO-243AA versus SOT-343), requiring PCB layout modification.

MAPR-000912-500S00 (MACOM Technology Solutions):

This substitute maintains active product status, ensuring continued availability and supply chain stability. It exceeds all voltage and power specifications (80V, 500W) relative to the main part. Transition frequency is not specified in the provided data, preventing direct frequency comparison. The device features a significantly higher operating temperature rating (200°C versus 150°C) and ROHS3 compliance. Mounting type is chassis mount rather than surface mount, indicating this device is intended for different application categories and form factors. This substitute is suitable only for applications where mechanical and thermal characteristics align with chassis-mount requirements.

Selection Basis:

Choice between substitutes depends on application frequency requirements and form factor constraints. The 2SC5415AE-TD-E is applicable only to applications operating below 6.7GHz. The MAPR-000912-500S00 is applicable only to chassis-mount applications. Neither substitute provides direct electrical and mechanical equivalence to the BFP460E6327HTSA1 across all critical parameters.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 2SC5415AE-TD-E replace the BFP460E6327HTSA1 in a 22GHz RF application?

A: No. The 2SC5415AE-TD-E has a transition frequency of 6.7GHz, which is insufficient for 22GHz operation. This device is limited to applications operating at frequencies below its transition frequency rating.

Q: What is the primary limitation of the MAPR-000912-500S00 as a substitute?

A: The MAPR-000912-500S00 is a chassis-mount device, whereas the BFP460E6327HTSA1 is surface mount. This fundamental difference in mounting type makes direct substitution impossible without significant PCB redesign and mechanical reworking.

Q: Are both substitute parts currently available?

A: The 2SC5415AE-TD-E is obsolete, matching the status of the main part. The MAPR-000912-500S00 is active and currently in production, offering better long-term supply availability.

Q: Do the substitute parts meet the same environmental compliance standards?

A: Both substitute parts are ROHS3 compliant and carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating, matching the compliance profile of the main part. Both are REACH unaffected and carry EAR99 ECCN classification.

Q: Can package differences between substitutes affect circuit performance?

A: Yes. The BFP460E6327HTSA1 uses SOT-343 packaging, the 2SC5415AE-TD-E uses TO-243AA, and the MAPR-000912-500S00 uses chassis mount. Different packages have different parasitic characteristics, thermal properties, and PCB footprints, requiring circuit validation and layout modification.

Q: What parameters must a substitute meet to be considered electrically compatible?

A: A substitute must be NPN type, have collector-emitter breakdown voltage ≥5.8V, transition frequency ≥22GHz, maximum power ≥230mW, and maximum collector current ≥70mA. Package and mounting type should match for direct replacement without redesign.
