MPSA06 TIN/LEAD

Single Bipolar Transistors Overview

The MPSA06 is a silicon NPN single bipolar junction transistor manufactured by Central Semiconductor Corp. It utilizes a TO-92-3 through-hole package and operates within a temperature range of -65°C to +150°C. Key electrical specifications include a collector-emitter voltage (VCEO) of 40 V, a collector-base voltage (VCBO) of 50 V, and an emitter-base voltage (VEBO) of 7 V. The device supports a continuous collector current of 500 mA with a power dissipation rating of 625 mW. Its DC current gain (hFE) ranges from 100 to 700 at specified test conditions, and the transition frequency (fT) is 100 MHz.

Single Bipolar Transistors Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity against official datasheets due to potential availability variations. Confirm lead-free or tin/lead plating options match project requirements. Check for obsolescence status as older series may have limited production runs. Ensure packaging type aligns with assembly equipment capabilities.

Single Bipolar Transistors Selection Notes

Select this component when high current gain and moderate voltage ratings are required for NPN switching or amplification. Compare hFE ranges against circuit sensitivity needs. Verify thermal management requirements given the 625 mW dissipation limit in the TO-92 package. Consider alternative packages if surface-mount technology is mandatory.
