Product details

The Toshiba RN1709,LF packs two NPN pre-biased transistors into a single SOT-353 (USV) package, each with a built-in 47kΩ base resistor and a 22kΩ emitter-base resistor. That means you drop the two external bias resistors per transistor — saves board space and cuts the pick-and-place count. Collector-emitter breakdown is rated 50V, collector current maxes at 100mA, and the transition frequency hits 250MHz, so it handles general-purpose switching, level translation, and low-current driver stages in industrial controls, consumer electronics, and telecom gear.

200 mW in a SOT-353 – thermal reality

The 200mW power dissipation limit is the ceiling for this tiny five-lead package. In continuous use, keep the total of both transistors under that number. For a 5mA load at 300mV Vce(sat) you are fine; if you push both channels near 100mA each, the duty cycle has to drop sharply or you derate the ambient temperature. No exposed pad here — the heat goes through the leads into the board copper, so give the collector traces some width.

It is a current-production part, so no last-time-buy pressure.

Frequently asked questions

What is the closest functional equivalent to RN1709?

The RN1702,LF is the closest functional peer: same dual NPN pre-biased topology, same 250MHz fT and 200mW power rating, but with 10kΩ base and 10kΩ emitter-base resistors instead of the 47kΩ / 22kΩ on the RN1709. Check the resistor ratio against your drive current needs before swapping.

What package does RN1709,LF come in?

It is supplied in a 5-lead SOT-353 package (also known as SC-70-5 or USV), surface-mount.
