MPSA18RLRP

Single Bipolar Transistors Overview

The MPSA18RLRP is an NPN silicon low noise transistor manufactured by onsemi. It features a collector-emitter voltage of 45 Vdc and a continuous collector current rating of 200 mAdc. The device operates within a junction temperature range of -55 to +150 °C. Electrical characteristics include a minimum DC current gain (hFE) of 400 at 10 mAdc and a typical current-gain bandwidth product of 160 MHz. Noise performance is specified with a maximum noise figure of 0.5 dB at 1.0 kHz.

Single Bipolar Transistors Feature Summary

• Designed for low noise applications in small signal amplification circuits
• Provides high DC current gain across various collector currents
• Utilizes a TO-92 through-hole package for standard mounting

Single Bipolar Transistors Applications

• Low noise preamplifier stages
• Audio signal processing circuits
• General purpose linear and switching applications

Single Bipolar Transistors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix RLRP corresponds to the TO-92 package with 2000 units per ammo pack configuration. Confirm RoHS compliance status if lead-free requirements are mandatory, as standard versions may contain lead. Ensure the procurement channel sources directly from authorized distributors to guarantee component authenticity and traceability.

Single Bipolar Transistors Selection Notes

Select this component when high DC current gain and low noise figures are required for NPN silicon transistors. The TO-92 package suits through-hole designs where space constraints allow larger footprints compared to surface mount alternatives. Evaluate thermal resistance parameters against the ambient operating conditions to ensure safe dissipation levels are maintained during operation.

Single Bipolar Transistors Part Context

This part belongs to the MPSA18 family of low noise NPN transistors produced by onsemi. The MPSA18 series is widely recognized for its superior noise characteristics compared to general-purpose transistors. The RLRP suffix specifically denotes the tape and reel or ammo pack packaging format intended for automated assembly processes.

Single Bipolar Transistors Replacement Considerations

Equivalent parts include the MPSA18RLRA and MPSA18RLRM from onsemi, which share identical electrical specifications but differ in packaging formats such as tape and reel versus ammo pack.
