Product details
Overview
2SC5706-TL-E from onsemi is an NPN bipolar junction transistor (BJT) designed for high-current switching applications, featuring 50 V VCEO, 5 A IC, low 90–135 mV VCE(sat) at 1 A/50 mA drive, 400 MHz fT, and TO-252 (SC-63) TP-FA surface-mount package. It serves as a main switch in DC/DC converters and motor drivers where low conduction loss and fast turn-on are critical.
For engineers reviewing the 2SC5706-TL-E datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include verified VCE(sat) performance at 2 A/100 mA, thermal dissipation capability up to 15 W at Tc = 25°C, JEDEC SC-63 compliance, and Pb-free tape-and-reel packaging (700 pcs./reel).
Technical Context
This NPN BJT employs onsemi's MBIT process for enhanced current handling and reduced saturation voltage. Its structure supports high-speed switching with 35 ns turn-on time and 20 ns fall time under specified test conditions (VCC = 25 V, RB = 25 Ω, IC = 1 A).
The device operates within a junction temperature range of –55°C to +150°C and delivers stable hFE = 200–560 at VCE = 2 V, IC = 500 mA. Output capacitance is rated at 15 pF typical at VCB = 10 V, f = 1 MHz - enabling efficient operation in medium-frequency power switching topologies.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCEO | 50 V - Maximum safe collector-emitter voltage before breakdown; defines upper rail limit in 24–48 V DC/DC stages. |
| IC (cont.) | 5 A - Continuous collector current rating; supports motor driver H-bridge legs and relay coil drivers without forced cooling. |
| VCE(sat) @ 1A/50mA | 90–135 mV - Low saturation voltage minimizes conduction loss (≤0.135 W at 1 A), improving efficiency in high-duty-cycle switches. |
| fT | 400 MHz - Gain-bandwidth product enables reliable switching up to ~50 MHz with adequate gain margin for gate driving or signal amplification. |
| PC @ Tc=25°C | 15 W - Case-power dissipation limit; allows high-pulse operation (e.g., 7.5 A ICP) with proper PCB copper area or heatsinking. |
| Cob | 15 pF - Output capacitance at VCB = 10 V; impacts switching losses and EMI in hard-switched converters above 100 kHz. |
Pinout & Package
2SC5706-TL-E uses the TP-FA package - identical to JEDEC TO-252 (SC-63) - with gull-wing leads optimized for automated SMT assembly and thermal transfer via exposed drain pad (pin 2 & 4). Package dimensions: 6.5 × 5.0 × 2.3 mm (L × W × H), mass = 0.282 g.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Base | Control input node; requires ≥50 mA base drive for full saturation at 1 A IC; low VBE(sat) (–0.89 to –1.2 V) reduces driver power demand. |
| 2 | Collector | Main current-carrying terminal (high-side switch node); electrically tied to pin 4; connects to heat slug for thermal management. |
| 3 | Emitter | Current return path; grounded in low-side configurations; must be routed with low-inductance trace to minimize switching overshoot. |
| 4 | Collector | Dual-collector configuration enhances current sharing and thermal spreading; both pins 2 and 4 must be soldered to PCB copper pour. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low VCE(sat) | 90 mV typical at IC = 1 A, IB = 50 mA - cuts conduction loss by >40% vs. standard BJTs, extending battery life in portable motor systems. |
| High fT | 400 MHz - ensures sufficient small-signal gain at switching frequencies up to 50 MHz, supporting resonant converter control loops. |
| Robust pulse rating | ICP = 7.5 A (100 ms single pulse) - handles inrush currents in lamp and solenoid drivers without secondary breakdown. |
| Thermal performance | 15 W PC at Tc = 25°C - enables compact layout with minimal external heatsink in industrial 24 V power modules. |
| Pb-free & halogen-free option | 2SC5706-TL-E complies with RoHS and JESD204B material requirements - suitable for automotive and medical-grade assemblies. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar NPN bipolar switching applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2SC5707-TL-E | VCEO = 60 V, VCE(sat) = 110–150 mV @ 1 A/50 mA, same TP-FA package and pinout. | Higher voltage margin suits 48 V telecom systems; slightly higher VCE(sat) increases conduction loss by ~22%. | Select when system bus voltage exceeds 50 V but thermal budget allows +0.02 W loss at 1 A. |
| MJD127G | TO-252 NPN, VCEO = 100 V, IC = 5 A, VCE(sat) = 1.5 V @ 3 A - significantly higher saturation voltage. | Designed for linear regulation; unsuitable for high-efficiency switching due to 3× higher VCE(sat). | Only consider if absolute maximum VCEO > 60 V is required and efficiency is secondary to ruggedness. |
Compared with 2SC5706-TL-E, 2SC5707-TL-E offers extended voltage headroom at minor conduction cost, while MJD127G trades efficiency for breakdown robustness - making 2SC5706-TL-E optimal for 24–48 V switched-mode applications demanding low-loss operation.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous collector current rating for the 2SC5706-TL-E?
The 2SC5706-TL-E has a maximum continuous collector current (IC) rating of 5 A at Tc = 25°C. This rating assumes proper PCB thermal management using the exposed collector pads (pins 2 and 4) as thermal paths. At elevated case temperatures, derating applies per the PC–Tc curve in the official datasheet - e.g., ~7.5 A is permitted only as a 100 ms single pulse (ICP).
Does the 2SC5706-TL-E have a documented pin-to-pin replacement?
No documented pin-to-pin replacement is specified for the 2SC5706-TL-E in onsemi's official documentation. While 2SC5707-TL-E shares identical TP-FA packaging and pinout, its higher VCEO (60 V) and marginally increased VCE(sat) constitute a functional alternative - not a drop-in replacement - and require validation in the target circuit's voltage and thermal constraints.
What is the typical gain-bandwidth product (fT) of the 2SC5706-TL-E and how does it affect switching performance?
The 2SC5706-TL-E has a typical fT of 400 MHz at VCE = 10 V and IC = 500 mA. This high fT ensures sufficient current gain at frequencies up to ~50 MHz, supporting fast edge rates and stable closed-loop behavior in high-frequency PWM controllers - directly enabling clean 200 kHz+ switching with minimal ringing in buck converter applications.
Can the 2SC5706-TL-E be used in avalanche mode?
The 2SC5706-TL-E is not rated or characterized for repetitive avalanche operation. Its absolute maximum VCEO = 50 V is a DC breakdown limit under specified test conditions (IC = 1 mA, RBE = ∞); operation beyond this voltage risks irreversible damage. For inductive load switching, external clamping (e.g., flyback diode or RC snubber) is mandatory to prevent VCE overshoot exceeding 50 V.
What are the thermal resistance characteristics of the 2SC5706-TL-E in its TP-FA package?
The 2SC5706-TL-E in TP-FA (TO-252) package has a junction-to-case thermal resistance (RθJC) of approximately 2.0°C/W when mounted on a 1-inch² 2-oz copper pad with 4 thermal vias. This enables a ΔTJC of ~30°C at 15 W dissipation - confirming its suitability for high-power density designs where ambient temperature remains ≤75°C and PCB layout follows onsemi's land pattern recommendations.
