MMS9012HE3-L-TP

Single Bipolar Transistors Overview

The MMS9012HE3-L-TP is a PNP silicon plastic-encapsulate transistor manufactured by Micro Commercial Components. It operates within a junction temperature range of -55°C to +150°C and features a thermal resistance of 417°C/W. Key electrical ratings include a collector-base voltage (VCBO) of -40 V, a collector-emitter voltage (VCEO) of -25 V, and an emitter-base voltage (VEBO) of -5 V. The device supports a continuous collector current of -500 mA with a power dissipation of 300 mW. The 'L' suffix designates a DC current gain (hFE) rank of 120 to 200 at IC=-100mA. It is AEC-Q101 qualified, moisture sensitivity level 1, and housed in an SOT-23 package.

Single Bipolar Transistors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to confirm the hFE binning grade, as the L designation indicates a distinct gain range compared to other variants in the series. Confirm that the tape and reel packaging quantity matches production requirements. Ensure procurement channels are authorized distributors to guarantee component authenticity and traceability, as MCC explicitly warns against unauthorized sources regarding warranty coverage.

Single Bipolar Transistors Selection Notes

Select this component when a PNP transistor with a -25 V collector-emitter voltage and -500 mA continuous current capability is required. The L suffix provides a minimum hFE of 120, suitable for standard amplification tasks. Consider the SOT-23 package dimensions and the 417°C/W thermal resistance for heat dissipation planning. Verify compatibility with operating temperatures up to +150°C junction temperature.

Single Bipolar Transistors Part Context

This part belongs to the MMS9012HE3 series of PNP silicon transistors from Micro Commercial Components. The series includes variants distinguished by their DC current gain rankings, such as the H suffix which covers a higher gain range. All variants share identical maximum ratings and physical package specifications, differing primarily in the tested hFE performance bin.

Single Bipolar Transistors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same manufacturer series include the MMS9012HE3-H-TP, which offers a higher DC current gain range of 200 to 350. Other generic replacements must match the -25 V VCEO, -500 mA IC, and SOT-23 package constraints.
