AI Summary

BFG591 by NXP: Bipolar RF Transistor, NPN, 15 V, 7 GHz, 2 W, 200 mA, SOT 223.

A modern NPN RF transistor from NXP that serves as a high-performance alternative, offering an improved transition frequency of 8.5 GHz. The designer must verify that the circuit's maximum operating voltage does not exceed its lower 12 V collector-emitter breakdown limit.

  • NXP's modern successor RF silicon transistor technology
  • Higher transition frequency of 8.5 GHz (vs 7 GHz) for improved high-frequency gain
  • Matches the original 200 mA maximum collector current and 2 W power dissipation limits
  • Lower collector-emitter breakdown voltage (12 V vs 15 V)
  • Slightly higher typical feedback capacitance (1.1 pF vs 0.7 pF)

You searched one part. Parter watches your whole BOM.

  1. All your BOM, at once

    Parter maps every line to live stock, lead time, lifecycle and compliance data across the entire market — not part by part.

  2. Hear about problems before they hit production

    Allocation, EOL and last-time-buy notices surface the moment they appear, not when your buyer's PO bounces.

  3. Qualified replacements in minutes, not days

    Every at-risk line gets form-fit-function matches like the ones above — deltas flagged, evidence attached. Review, push to your BOM, and Parter starts watching the new part too.
