Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the CP548-2N5116-CT is determined by electrical parameter compatibility and functional equivalence. The primary substitute identified is the 2N5116 manufactured by Solid State Inc. This substitution is valid based on the following criteria:

Electrical Parameter Alignment:

• Identical FET type: P-Channel
• Matching voltage ratings: V(BR)GSS = 30 V, Vdss = 30 V
• Equivalent input capacitance: Ciss = 25 pF @ 15 V
• Identical on-resistance: RDS(On) = 150 Ω
• Compatible drain current capability: 50 mA maximum

Functional Equivalence: The 2N5116 provides electrical performance equivalent to the CP548-2N5116-CT across all specified parameters. The primary difference is packaging: the CP548-2N5116-CT is supplied as a surface mount die, while the 2N5116 is packaged in a TO-18 through-hole configuration. This packaging difference requires circuit board redesign considerations but does not affect electrical functionality.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 2N5116 is the recommended substitute for the obsolete CP548-2N5116-CT based on electrical parameter equivalence and active product status. The 2N5116 is ROHS3 compliant and currently in active production, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain stability.

Selection Considerations:

Packaging transition from surface mount die to through-hole TO-18 requires circuit board layout modification. The electrical performance remains equivalent across all specified parameters, supporting direct functional replacement in circuit designs.

The 2N5116 maintains identical voltage ratings, on-resistance, and input capacitance specifications, confirming suitability for applications originally designed for the CP548-2N5116-CT.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 2N5116 directly replace the CP548-2N5116-CT in existing designs?

A: Electrical substitution is valid. The 2N5116 matches all specified electrical parameters including voltage ratings, on-resistance, and input capacitance. However, packaging differs: the CP548-2N5116-CT is a surface mount die while the 2N5116 is a through-hole TO-18 package. Circuit board redesign is required to accommodate the different mounting configuration.

Q: What are the key electrical parameters that confirm substitution compatibility?

A: Substitution is confirmed by matching P-Channel FET type, 30 V voltage ratings (V(BR)GSS and Vdss), 150 Ω on-resistance, and 25 pF input capacitance at 15 V. These parameters ensure functional equivalence in circuit operation.

Q: Is the 2N5116 available for long-term procurement?

A: Yes. The 2N5116 is classified as active product status and is ROHS3 compliant, supporting ongoing availability and supply chain continuity compared to the obsolete CP548-2N5116-CT.

Q: What is the primary difference between these parts?

A: The primary difference is packaging. The CP548-2N5116-CT is supplied as a surface mount die for hybrid or specialized assembly applications. The 2N5116 is packaged in a standard TO-18 through-hole metal can, suitable for conventional printed circuit board assembly.

Q: Are there operating temperature differences between these parts?

A: Operating temperature range is specified for the CP548-2N5116-CT as -65°C to 150°C. Operating temperature is not specified in the provided data for the 2N5116. Verify temperature requirements for your specific application before final selection.
