MPSH17_D26Z

Overview

The MPSH17_D26Z is an NPN silicon epitaxial planar transistor manufactured by onsemi, designed for broadband applications in cable television (CATV) systems. It operates within a collector-emitter voltage range of up to 30 V and supports a continuous collector current of 500 mA. The device features a low noise figure and high gain-bandwidth product, making it suitable for RF amplification tasks. Packaged in a lead-free TO-92 (TO-226AA) housing with kinked leads for through-hole mounting, it ensures reliable performance in signal processing circuits.

Feature Summary

• Optimized for broadband CATV amplifier and driver stages
• NPN silicon epitaxial planar construction for stable RF operation
• Lead-free compliant packaging for environmental safety

Applications

• Cable Television (CATV) amplifier circuits
• Broadband RF signal processing
• Video distribution systems

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific D26Z suffix against the manufacturer's official datasheet to confirm package variations or testing criteria. Ensure compatibility with existing PCB footprints for TO-92 components. Cross-reference part numbers with authorized distributors to avoid counterfeit sources. Confirm RoHS compliance status for your specific manufacturing requirements before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when designing broadband RF circuits requiring moderate power handling and low noise characteristics. Compare its gain-bandwidth product and noise figure against alternative NPN transistors in the same voltage class. Ensure the thermal management strategy accommodates the TO-92 package's dissipation limits in enclosed environments.

Part Context

This part belongs to the MPSH series of NPN transistors specialized for CATV and broadband applications. It serves as a discrete solution for RF amplification where integrated circuits may lack sufficient bandwidth or linearity. The D26Z suffix typically denotes specific binning or packaging configurations defined by onsemi for this family.

Replacement Considerations

Consult official substitution guides for equivalents such as the MPSH17 without suffix or compatible NPN RF transistors from other manufacturers. Verify pinout compatibility and electrical parameter overlaps before implementing any cross-brand replacements.
