TPQ6502

Overview

The TPQ6502 is a quad transistor array manufactured by Allegro MicroSystems, housed in a 14-pin Dual In-Line Package (DIP). This component integrates two NPN and two PNP bipolar junction transistors within a single package. It features a collector-emitter breakdown voltage of 30V and a maximum power dissipation of 2W. The device supports an operating temperature range from -55°C to +150°C and exhibits a transition frequency of 200MHz with a collector cutoff current of 30nA.

Feature Summary

• Integrates dual NPN and dual PNP transistors into a single quad array configuration
• Supports high-temperature operation up to 150°C for robust environmental performance
• Provides signal switching and amplification capabilities for electronic circuits

Applications

• Audio amplifier circuits
• Power amplifier stages
• General-purpose electronic devices requiring signal switching

Procurement Notes

Verify RoHS compliance status as sources indicate non-compliance. Confirm the 14-pin DIP package type matches design requirements. Ensure the manufacturer is Allegro MicroSystems. Check datasheet specifications for voltage and current limits before integration.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a mixed NPN/PNP quad array is required in a DIP-14 package. Consider the 30V breakdown voltage and 2W power rating for circuit design. Evaluate the 200MHz frequency response against application needs. Verify thermal management for the -55°C to +150°C range.

Part Context

The TPQ6502 belongs to the Bipolar Transistor Arrays category under Allegro MicroSystems. It is distinct from the company's magnetic Hall effect sensors like the APS series. This part serves as a discrete semiconductor solution for analog and digital switching applications.
