ITEM SPECIFICS
Brand: RCA
MPN: 2N5038
Type: Bipolar Power Transistor
Transistor Polarity: NPN
Semiconductor Material: Silicon
Package: TO-3 / TO-204
Mounting Style: Through Hole / Chassis Mount
Maximum Continuous Collector Current: 20A
Collector-Emitter Sustaining Voltage: 90V
Power Dissipation: 140W at 25°C case temperature
Minimum Transition Frequency: 60MHz
DC Current Gain: 20–100 at 12A collector current
Additional Printed Marking: CC8544
Condition: New
Quantity Included: 1
DESCRIPTION
RCA 2N5038 NPN silicon power transistor in a metal TO-3 package. Designed for high-current switching and amplifier circuits, including switching regulators, converters, inverters, and power oscillators.
Ratings include 20A continuous collector current, 90V collector-emitter sustaining voltage, and 140W power dissipation at a 25°C case temperature. Operation requires appropriate heat sinking and compliance with the manufacturer’s safe operating area.
The photographed component is marked 2N5038, RCA, and CC8544. Includes one transistor. Please review the photos for markings and physical condition.
Compatibility:
Direct replacement for the 2N5038 in switching regulators, inverters, wide-band amplifiers and power oscillators. The 2N5039 is the lower-voltage (75V) version of the same 20A, 140W TO-3 transistor.
Q&A
Q: What is the difference between the 2N5038 and the 2N5039?
A: Both are 20A, 140W NPN power transistors in TO-3. The 2N5038 is rated 90V VCEO(sus) with hFE 20–100 at 12A; the 2N5039 is rated 75V with hFE 20–100 at 10A.
Q: Which terminal is the collector?
A: On a TO-3 package, the metal case is the collector. The two pins are the base and the emitter.
Q: Is a mounting kit included?
A: No. The listing is for the transistor only.
