MPSH10-AP

Overview

The MPSH10-AP is an NPN RF transistor manufactured by Micro Commercial Components (MCC) in a TO-92 package. It features a collector-emitter voltage of 25 V, collector-base voltage of 30 V, and emitter-base voltage of 3 V. The device supports a continuous collector current of 50 mA with a power dissipation of 350 mW at 25°C. Electrical characteristics include a DC current gain (hFE) ranging from 60 to 200 at IC=4mA, and a transition frequency (fT) of 650 MHz. Thermal resistance is 357 °C/W junction to ambient, with an operating temperature range of -55°C to +150°C.

Feature Summary

• NPN silicon RF transistor designed for high-frequency applications
• Halogen-free construction available via suffix modification
• Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 compliance for standard handling
• Epoxy material meets UL 94 V-0 flammability rating

Applications

• RF amplifier circuits
• High-frequency switching applications
• General-purpose small-signal amplification

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's official documentation to confirm packaging type and environmental compliance. The -AP suffix indicates ammo packing, while other suffixes may denote bulk or tape-and-reel formats. Ensure that any required halogen-free status is explicitly requested during procurement, as it requires adding a specific suffix to the part number. Confirm authorized distributor status to guarantee genuine components.

Selection Notes

Select this component when an NPN transistor with a 25 V collector-emitter breakdown and 50 mA continuous current capability is required. The 650 MHz transition frequency makes it suitable for RF signal processing tasks. Consider the TO-92 through-hole package for prototyping or low-volume assembly where surface-mount options are not feasible. Verify thermal management requirements given the 357 °C/W junction-to-ambient resistance.

Part Context

The MPSH10 belongs to MCC's lineup of NPN RF transistors intended for general-purpose radio frequency applications. It is housed in a standard TO-92 plastic package, providing a cost-effective solution for discrete circuit designs. The device is distinct from resistor-equipped transistors or Darlington pairs, focusing purely on single-transistor RF performance with defined gain and frequency characteristics.

Replacement Considerations

Publicly confirmed substitute part numbers are not available in the provided documentation. Engineers should consult official cross-reference guides or manufacturer databases for compatible alternatives that match the 25 V VCEO, 50 mA IC, and TO-92 package constraints.
