XN0460800L

Overview

The Panasonic XN0460800L is a dual bipolar junction transistor (BJT) housed in a MINI6 package. It integrates one NPN and one PNP transistor within a single compact component. The device supports a maximum collector current of 100mA for the NPN section and 500mA for the PNP section. Voltage ratings include a maximum collector-emitter breakdown voltage of 50V for the NPN transistor and 10V for the PNP transistor. This configuration allows for efficient space-saving designs in discrete semiconductor applications requiring complementary switching or amplification functions.

Feature Summary

• Integrates complementary NPN and PNP transistors into a single miniature package
• Provides distinct current handling capabilities with 100mA NPN and 500mA PNP ratings
• Designed for compact circuit layouts through the MINI6 form factor

Applications

• Complementary switching circuits
• Small-signal amplification stages
• Logic interface buffers

Procurement Notes

Verify component status as this part is listed as obsolete by multiple distributors. Confirm availability through authorized channels or secondary markets if sourcing is required. Ensure that the MINI6 package dimensions match the target PCB footprint before procurement. Check for RoHS compliance documentation specific to the manufacturing batch, as legacy parts may have varying environmental certifications.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a complementary pair of NPN and PNP transistors is needed in a minimal footprint. The asymmetric current ratings make it suitable for applications where the PNP side requires higher drive capability than the NPN side. Consider the low voltage rating of the PNP section (10V) when designing power supply rails or signal levels to ensure operation remains within safe breakdown limits.

Part Context

This component belongs to the discrete semiconductor products category, specifically under bipolar junction transistors. Panasonic Electronic Components manufactures this dual-transistor solution to simplify assembly processes. The MINI6 package is a small outline transistor type designed for surface-mount technology, offering a balance between thermal performance and board space efficiency compared to larger through-hole alternatives.

Replacement Considerations

Publicly confirmed substitute part numbers are not available in the provided source data. Due to the obsolete status, direct pin-to-pin replacements from other manufacturers should be verified against electrical specifications, particularly the asymmetric voltage ratings of 50V/10V and current limits of 100mA/500mA.
