In various medium-voltage, low-power application scenarios such as switching power supplies, motor drives, consumer electronics, and LED lighting, MICROCHIP's TN2524N8-G, with its balanced performance and compact design, has been a common choice for engineers in design selection. However, in the context of global supply chain uncertainties and trade volatility, this imported component faces challenges like extended lead times, cost fluctuations due to exchange rates, and delayed technical support, which hinder production efficiency and cost control for downstream enterprises. As a result, domestic substitution has evolved from an alternative to a necessity, becoming a critical strategy for ensuring supply chain security, reducing costs, and enhancing competitiveness.
Leveraging years of expertise in power semiconductors, VBsemi introduces the VBI125N5K N-channel MOSFET through independent R&D. This product is precisely tailored as a direct alternative to the TN2524N8-G, offering key advantages in parameter upgrades, technological parity, and full package compatibility. It enables seamless replacement without circuit modifications, providing a more stable, cost-effective, and locally supported solution for various medium-voltage electronic systems.
Comprehensive Parameter Enhancement, Superior Performance, Adapted to Demanding Conditions.
Designed as a domestic drop-in replacement for the TN2524N8-G, the VBI125N5K achieves significant improvements in key electrical parameters, delivering robust performance for medium-voltage applications:
First, the drain-source voltage is increased to 250V, higher than the original model's 240V, offering an enhanced safety margin for environments with voltage fluctuations and transient risks, thereby reducing overvoltage failure risks.
Second, the continuous drain current is rated at 0.3A (300mA), while the original model supports 360mA. Although slightly lower in current, the VBI125N5K compensates with dramatically reduced conduction losses, ensuring reliable operation in low-power designs and improving system efficiency.
Third, the on-state resistance is as low as 1500mΩ (@10V gate drive), significantly lower than the TN2524N8-G's 6Ω. This reduction minimizes conduction losses, enhances overall efficiency, and reduces heat generation, easing thermal management demands in switching applications.
Additionally, the VBI125N5K supports a ±20V gate-source voltage, offering strong gate ESD and noise immunity to prevent unintended turn-on in noisy environments. The 3V gate threshold voltage ensures compatibility with mainstream driver ICs, simplifying drive circuit design and lowering substitution barriers.
Advanced Trench Technology, Reliability and Stability Inherited and Upgraded.
The TN2524N8-G relies on its design for reliable low-power switching. The VBI125N5K employs advanced Trench technology, optimizing device performance and reliability. It features low on-resistance and fast switching characteristics, reducing switching losses and improving dv/dt tolerance. The device undergoes rigorous pre-shipment testing, including avalanche and high-voltage screening, ensuring robust handling of energy surges during switching. With an operating temperature range of -55°C to 150°C, it adapts to harsh conditions like industrial or outdoor environments. Having passed long-term reliability tests such as high-temperature/high-humidity aging, its failure rate is well below industry averages, providing dependable performance for critical applications like consumer electronics, lighting, and low-power motor controls.
Fully Compatible Package, Enabling "Drop-in" Replacement with Zero Risk.
For downstream enterprises, a major concern in domestic substitution is the cost and effort of redesign. The VBI125N5K addresses this through package compatibility. It uses an SOT89 package, identical to the TN2524N8-G in pinout, pin spacing, and dimensions. Engineers can directly replace the component without modifying PCB layouts or thermal designs, achieving true "plug-and-play" convenience. This compatibility slashes verification time—sample validation can be completed within days—and avoids costs associated with PCB revisions or mold changes. It also preserves original product certifications and外观, accelerating the substitution process and helping companies quickly upgrade imported components to seize market opportunities.
Local Strength Assurance, Dual Peace of Mind for Supply Chain and Support.
Compared to imported components affected by international logistics, trade policies, and exchange rate swings, VBsemi leverages China's mature semiconductor ecosystem, with production and R&D bases in Jiangsu, Guangdong, and more. This ensures full-process control and stable mass production for the VBI125N5K. Lead times are typically within two weeks, with emergency orders enabling 72-hour delivery, mitigating risks from supply chain disruptions, tariffs, or geopolitics. As a local brand, VBsemi provides dedicated technical support: comprehensive documentation (including substitution验证 reports, datasheets, thermal guides, and application circuits), customized selection advice, and circuit optimization based on customer needs. Technical issues receive responses within 24 hours, via on-site or remote assistance, eliminating the slow support and high communication costs of imported components and ensuring a smooth, worry-free substitution.
From low-power switch-mode supplies and motor drives to LED lighting and consumer electronics, the VBI125N5K, with its core strengths of "enhanced parameters, stable performance, package compatibility, controllable supply, and attentive service," has become the preferred domestic alternative to the TN2524N8-G. It has gained adoption in multiple industry leaders, earning strong market recognition. Choosing the VBI125N5K is not just a component swap—it's a strategic move to secure supply chains, optimize costs, and boost product competitiveness, offering better performance, stable supply, and responsive support without R&D modification risks.
