MPSA92ZL1

Single Bipolar Transistors Overview

The MPSA92ZL1 is a PNP silicon high-voltage transistor manufactured by onsemi, housed in a TO-92 (TO-226AA) package. It features a maximum collector-emitter voltage of -300 Vdc and a continuous collector current of -500 mAdc. The device offers a DC current gain ranging from 25 to 40 depending on operating conditions, with a transition frequency of 50 MHz. Total device dissipation is rated at 625 mW at 25°C ambient temperature. It operates within a junction temperature range of -55°C to +150°C.

Single Bipolar Transistors Feature Summary

• High voltage capability up to 300 V for demanding switching applications
• Robust thermal performance with defined junction-to-ambient resistance
• Suitable for general-purpose amplification and low-current switching tasks

Single Bipolar Transistors Applications

• General purpose switching circuits
• Amplifier stages requiring high voltage tolerance
• Driver circuits for loads operating near the breakdown limit

Single Bipolar Transistors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix ZL1 against the official datasheet ordering information to confirm packaging type and availability status. Ensure compatibility with RoHS requirements if applicable to the design. Confirm that the TO-92 pinout matches the target PCB footprint before integration. Check for any recent product change notices regarding manufacturing origin or material composition.

Single Bipolar Transistors Selection Notes

Select this component when a PNP transistor requires high voltage blocking capability exceeding standard signal transistors. Compare the 300 V rating against the circuit's peak reverse voltage to ensure adequate safety margins. Evaluate the 625 mW power dissipation limit against the expected thermal load in the final assembly. Consider the TO-92 package constraints for heat sinking if operating near maximum ratings.

Single Bipolar Transistors Part Context

This part belongs to the MPSA92/MPSA93 family of high-voltage PNP silicon transistors. The MPSA92 variant specifically provides a -300 V rating, distinguishing it from the MPSA93 which is rated for -200 V. The ZL1 suffix indicates a specific bulk or ammo pack configuration within the TO-92 form factor offered by onsemi.

Single Bipolar Transistors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other PNP high-voltage transistors with matching -300 V and -500 mA ratings. Verify pinout compatibility for TO-92 packages. Cross-reference electrical characteristics such as hFE and VCE(sat) to ensure functional equivalence in the specific application circuit.
