Central Semiconductor Corp. Bipolar RF Transistors 2N5179 PBFREE

The 2N5179 is a silicon NPN RF transistor in a TO-72 package, designed for VHF/UHF amplifier, oscillator, and converter applications. It has a collector-emitter voltage rating of 12 V, a continuous collector current of 50 mA, and a power dissipation of 200 mW at 25°C. The transistor offers a transition frequency (fT) of 900 to 2000 MHz, a current gain (hFE) of 25 to 250 at VCE=1.0 V and IC=3.0 mA, and an noise figure of 4.5 dB at 200 MHz. The TO-72 case features a 4-pin configuration with the case connected as pin 4. Operating and storage junction temperatures range from -65°C to +200°C. The part is RoHS compliant as indicated by the PBFREE suffix, which denotes lead-free plating.
