2N5179 Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The Central Semiconductor Corp. 2N5179 is a silicon NPN RF transistor manufactured using the epitaxial planar process. It is specifically designed for applications in VHF/UHF frequency ranges, serving as an amplifier, oscillator, and converter.

 

Key electrical characteristics include a Collector-Emitter Voltage (VCEO) of 12V and a Continuous Collector Current (IC) of up to 50mA. The transistor exhibits a DC Current Gain (hFE) ranging from 25 to 250 and a Transition Frequency (fT) between 900 and 2000 MHz at specified test conditions.

 

This transistor is housed in a TO-72 case, suitable for through-hole mounting. Maximum power dissipation is rated at 200mW at 25°C ambient temperature, with an option for 300mW when measured at the case temperature (TC=25°C). The operating and storage junction temperature range is -65°C to +200°C.

 

Applications for the 2N5179 include VHF/UHF amplification, oscillation, and frequency conversion circuits where its RF performance characteristics are beneficial.
