UP0460100L

Overview

The Panasonic UP0460100L is a dual pre-biased bipolar junction transistor (BJT) array housed in an SSMini6 surface-mount package. It integrates one NPN and one PNP transistor within a single compact component. The device supports a maximum collector-emitter voltage of 50V and a continuous collector current of 100mA. Key electrical characteristics include a DC current gain (hFE) of at least 35 at 5mA and 10V, with a maximum saturation voltage of 250mV at 300µA base current and 10mA collector current. The unit operates with a transition frequency of 150MHz for the NPN section and 80MHz for the PNP section, dissipating up to 125mW of power.

Feature Summary

• Dual configuration combining one NPN and one PNP pre-biased transistor in a single package
• Compact SSMini6 surface-mount footprint designed for space-constrained circuit boards
• Integrated biasing network simplifies driver interface requirements

Applications

• Signal switching circuits requiring complementary logic levels
• Driver stages for low-power loads in consumer electronics
• Interface modules in portable devices and compact audio equipment

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against official Panasonic documentation to confirm pinout orientation and internal resistor values. Confirm availability status as distribution channels may list discontinued or obsolete variants. Request manufacturer datasheets to validate thermal resistance parameters and recommended soldering profiles for the SSMini6 package before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a compact solution requires both NPN and PNP switching capabilities with integrated biasing. Ensure the 50V voltage rating and 100mA current limit meet the target circuit demands. Consider the 125mW power dissipation capability relative to the PCB copper area and ambient temperature conditions to maintain safe operating temperatures during continuous operation.

Part Context

This part belongs to Panasonic's lineup of pre-biased BJT arrays, which integrate base resistors to simplify circuit design. These components are engineered for high reliability in small form factors, serving as direct replacements for discrete transistor pairs in applications where board space is limited and consistent switching performance is required across varying temperature ranges.

Replacement Considerations

Consult official Panasonic substitution guides for verified equivalents. Cross-reference pinouts and electrical ratings carefully when considering alternative manufacturers' parts to ensure compatibility with existing PCB layouts and circuit performance requirements.
