MPS6518 TRE TIN/LEAD

Single Bipolar Transistors Overview

The MPS6518 TRE TIN/LEAD is an NPN silicon planar epitaxial transistor manufactured by Central Semiconductor. It operates within a collector-emitter voltage (VCEO) of 30 V and a collector-base voltage (VCBO) of 40 V, with an emitter-base voltage (VEBO) of 4 V. The device supports a continuous collector current of 100 mA and a total power dissipation of 1.5 W at 25°C ambient temperature. It features a TO-92-3 through-hole package and functions across a junction temperature range of -65°C to +150°C.

Single Bipolar Transistors Feature Summary

• Through-hole mounting in a TO-92-3 package
• Tin/lead terminal finish

Single Bipolar Transistors Applications

• General-purpose switching circuits
• Amplifier stages
• Driver applications for low-power loads

Single Bipolar Transistors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'TRE' against official datasheets to confirm tin/lead plating compliance and RoHS status. Confirm that the manufacturer's documentation explicitly lists this part number variant before procurement. Ensure the ordering information matches the exact electrical ratings required for the target circuit design.

Single Bipolar Transistors Selection Notes

Select this component when a standard NPN BJT with 30 V VCEO and 100 mA IC rating is required. The TO-92-3 package suits through-hole PCB layouts. Verify thermal management requirements as the device dissipates up to 1.5 W. Ensure the application does not require lead-free specifications if the tin/lead finish is mandatory.

Single Bipolar Transistors Part Context

This part belongs to the MPS65xx series of small-signal transistors. These devices are commonly used in consumer electronics and industrial control systems where reliable switching and amplification are needed. The MPS6518 specifically offers moderate voltage and current capabilities suitable for general-purpose electronic designs.

Single Bipolar Transistors Replacement Considerations

Consult official substitution guides for equivalents such as the MPS6512 or MPS6513 from Central Semiconductor. Verify pinout compatibility and electrical parameter overlaps before replacing.
