2N5038 Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The 2N5038 is an NPN silicon transistor designed for industrial and commercial applications requiring fast switching speeds and high current capacity. It is well-suited for use in switching regulators, inverters, wide-band amplifiers, and power oscillators.

 

Key electrical specifications include a collector-emitter voltage (VCEO) of 90V, a continuous collector current (IC) of 20A, and a peak collector current (ICM) of 30A. The device can handle a total power dissipation of 140W at 25°C case temperature.

 

This transistor features a low saturation voltage (VCE(sat)) of 2.5V maximum at 20A, contributing to efficient power handling. The operating and storage junction temperature range is -65°C to +200°C. The component is available in a TO-204AA (TO-3) package, typically mounted through-hole.

 

The 2N5038 is noted for its high speed with a typical fall time (tf) of 0.5 µs. It also offers a high current capacity, making it a robust choice for demanding power applications.
