Product details
Overview
2N5089RLRAG from onsemi is an NPN silicon small-signal amplifier transistor in TO-92 package, rated for VCEO = 25 V, IC = 50 mA, and fT = 50 MHz, with hFE up to 1200 at IC = 10 mA - used in low-noise audio preamplifier stages and RF front-end gain blocks.
For engineers reviewing the 2N5089RLRAG datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include its 2.0 dB noise figure at 1 kHz, Pb-free TO-92 packaging, and verified performance across −55°C to +150°C junction temperature range.
Technical Context
This device operates as a linear NPN bipolar junction transistor optimized for low-noise amplification. Its hfe ranges from 450 to 1800 (depending on IC), and it delivers stable current gain with VBE(on) ≤ 0.8 V and VCE(sat) ≤ 0.5 V under specified bias conditions.
The 2N5089RLRAG exhibits Ccb = 4.0 pF and Ceb = 10 pF at rated test conditions, supporting bandwidth-critical designs. Its thermal resistance RJA = 200°C/W (on PCB) and RJC = 83.3°C/W enable reliable operation in compact analog signal chains without forced cooling.
Key Specifications

| IC | 50 mAdc - continuous collector current rating defining usable linear output swing headroom |
| fT | 50 MHz - unity-gain frequency enabling stable amplification up to mid-VHF band |
| hFE | 400–1200 - DC current gain range ensuring predictable bias point stability across production lots |
| NF | 2.0 dB @ 1 kHz - low noise figure critical for high-fidelity microphone and sensor signal conditioning |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar small-signal NPN amplifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2N5088RLRAG | VCEO = 30 V (vs. 25 V), fT = 50 MHz same, hFE min 300 (vs. 400) | Higher voltage headroom but lower guaranteed gain at low currents | Select when >25 V collector supply or higher breakdown margin is required |
| BC547C | VCEO = 45 V, hFE = 420–800, NF = 4.0 dB (vs. 2.0 dB), TO-92 package | Higher voltage rating but significantly higher noise - unsuitable for ultra-low-noise mic preamps | Select for general-purpose switching or medium-noise amplification where cost is prioritized |
Compared with 2N5089RLRAG, the 2N5088RLRAG offers greater voltage tolerance but reduced minimum hFE, while BC547C trades noise performance for broader voltage capability - making 2N5089RLRAG optimal for noise-sensitive analog front-ends requiring 25 V operation.

FAQ
What is the maximum collector-emitter voltage rating for the 2N5089RLRAG?
The 2N5089RLRAG has a maximum collector-emitter voltage (VCEO) rating of 25 Vdc. This value is specified under test conditions of IC = 1.0 mAdc and IB = 0, and represents the absolute maximum voltage the device can withstand in common-emitter configuration before breakdown. Exceeding this rating risks permanent damage to the 2N5089RLRAG.
Does the 2N5089RLRAG have a Pb-free package?
Yes, the 2N5089RLRAG features a Pb-free TO-92 package compliant with RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU. The "G" suffix in the part number explicitly denotes the Pb-free variant, and the device meets onsemi's standardized soldering and mounting specifications for lead-free reflow profiles.
What is the typical noise figure of the 2N5089RLRAG and at what conditions is it measured?
The 2N5089RLRAG has a typical noise figure (NF) of 2.0 dB, measured at IC = 100 µAdc, VCE = 5.0 Vdc, RS = 1.0 kΩ, and f = 1.0 kHz. This low noise performance makes the 2N5089RLRAG especially suitable for high-fidelity audio and precision sensor amplification where signal integrity is critical.
Can the 2N5089RLRAG be used in high-temperature environments?
Yes, the 2N5089RLRAG is rated for junction temperatures from −55°C to +150°C. Its thermal resistance values - RJA = 200°C/W and RJC = 83.3°C/W - confirm suitability for industrial control, automotive under-hood, and other high-temperature applications when mounted per JEDEC-standard PCB layout guidelines.
How does the current gain (hFE) of the 2N5089RLRAG vary with collector current?
The 2N5089RLRAG exhibits hFE = 400–450 at IC = 1.0 mAdc, 350–450 at IC = 10 mAdc, and up to 1200 at IC = 10 mAdc under specific test conditions. This wide gain range means circuit designers must verify bias stability across expected IC variation - the 2N5089RLRAG performs best in moderate-current linear amplification, not saturated switching.
