MPSA28 PBFREE is listed in the Single Bipolar Transistors range at ChipApex. The manufacturer field lists Central Semiconductor Corp. Its product description is 500MA 80V TH TRANSISTOR-SMALL SI. Review the specifications below when checking this part for your BOM.
The MPSA28 PBFREE is a single NPN Darlington transistor manufactured by Central Semiconductor Corp. It features a collector-emitter voltage rating of 60V and a continuous collector current capacity of 500mA. The device is housed in a TO-92-3 through-hole package and offers a minimum DC current gain (hFE) of 10,000 at specified test conditions. Designed for general-purpose amplification and switching applications, it operates within a junction temperature range of -65°C to +150°C.
Verify the specific datasheet version for the MPSA28 PBFREE to confirm exact hFE binning and electrical limits, as these can vary between manufacturing lots. Ensure the ordering suffix matches the required packaging format, such as bulk or tape and reel, if applicable. Cross-reference the pinout diagram with your circuit design to prevent installation errors during assembly.
Select this component when a high-gain NPN transistor is required for driving subsequent stages with minimal base current. The TO-92-3 package is ideal for prototyping and low-volume production where through-hole reliability is preferred. Compare the 500mA current limit against your load requirements to ensure adequate headroom for peak currents without exceeding thermal dissipation limits.
This part belongs to the MPSA series of Darlington transistors from Central Semiconductor. These devices are engineered to provide significantly higher current gain than standard bipolar junction transistors. The series typically includes complementary PNP variants for push-pull configurations. The MPSA28 specifically serves as the NPN counterpart in these matched sets.
Public confirmed substitute part numbers: MPSA13 PBFREE, MPSA42 PBFREE.
