MPSW01

Single Bipolar Transistors Overview

The MPSW01 is a small signal NPN silicon bipolar junction transistor designed for general-purpose amplification and switching applications. It features a maximum collector current of 1 A and a collector-emitter breakdown voltage of 30 V. The device utilizes a TO-226AA (TO-92) plastic cylindrical package with three leads. It operates within a temperature range up to 150 °C and is lead-free compliant.

Single Bipolar Transistors Feature Summary

• NPN silicon construction for general-purpose amplification
• High collector current capability of 1 A
• Low voltage operation with 30 V collector-emitter breakdown
• Lead-free compliant TO-226AA plastic package

Single Bipolar Transistors Applications

• General-purpose amplifier circuits
• Low-power switching applications
• Audio pre-amplifier stages

Single Bipolar Transistors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific manufacturer source, as Fairchild Semiconductor is now part of ON Semiconductor. Confirm that the ordering suffix matches the required package variant and compliance status. Ensure the component meets RoHS standards if required by your design specifications. Cross-reference datasheets from both Fairchild and ON Semiconductor archives for accurate electrical characteristics.

Single Bipolar Transistors Selection Notes

Select this component for low-voltage, moderate-current amplification tasks where a standard TO-92 footprint is required. It serves as a direct replacement for older Motorola MPSW01 designs. Consider thermal management requirements given the 1 A rating in a small plastic package. Verify compatibility with existing PCB layouts using the TO-226AA pinout configuration.

Single Bipolar Transistors Part Context

The MPSW01 belongs to the family of small-signal NPN transistors historically produced by Fairchild Semiconductor and Motorola. These devices are widely used in consumer electronics and industrial control systems for basic signal processing. The transition of Fairchild to ON Semiconductor means updated documentation may carry the ON Semi branding while retaining the original part number functionality.
