Single Bipolar Transistors Procurement Notes

Verify the component authenticity against onsemi official documentation. Confirm the specific suffix RLRAG corresponds to the intended tape-and-reel packaging format if automated assembly is required. Ensure the order matches the NPN variant, distinct from the complementary PNP MPS6523. Check for RoHS compliance status relevant to the manufacturing date code.

Single Bipolar Transistors Selection Notes

Select this component when a 40V NPN BJT with 100mA capability is required in a TO-92 package. Consider the MPS6523 for complementary PNP requirements. Evaluate thermal dissipation limits for the TO-92 case. Verify that the hFE range meets the specific gain requirements of the target amplifier circuit design.

Single Bipolar Transistors Part Context

This part belongs to the MPS6521 series, which includes complementary NPN and PNP transistors. The series is designated as a Preferred Device by onsemi, indicating standard availability and support. It serves as a discrete semiconductor solution for small-signal amplification tasks where moderate voltage and current ratings are sufficient.

Single Bipolar Transistors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include the MPS6521ZL1, noting potential differences in lead-free certification or regional designation. Cross-reference electrical characteristics such as VCEO and ICmax to ensure compatibility. Verify pinout consistency for TO-92 packages before implementation.
