In the Same Series
TOSHIBA offers several other models within the same series as the 2SC5200-0 that vary based on their voltage ratings or package types. These include:
Alternative Models
If specific requirements such as lower operating voltages or smaller form factors are needed—alternative models can be considered both from TOSHIBA’s own offerings like C5198 with similar functionality but lower voltage rating; or even options from other manufacturers such as On Semiconductor's MJL3281AG known for their compact size yet robust performance.
However careful consideration should always be given towards parameters like maximum allowable current load threshold voltages package compatibility among others when selecting alternatives.
