Product details
Overview
2N6107G from onsemi is a PNP silicon power transistor in TO-220 package, rated for 70 VCEO, 7 A continuous collector current, and 40 W total power dissipation at TC = 25°C. It delivers DC current gain (hFE) ≥30 at IC = 7.0 A, VCE = 4.0 V, and supports general-purpose switching and linear amplifier applications in industrial power supplies and motor control circuits.
For engineers reviewing the 2N6107G datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include its 70 VCEO rating, 3.125°C/W junction-to-case thermal resistance, PNP polarity with base-emitter voltage ≤3.0 V at IC = 7.0 A, and Pb-free TO-220 packaging compliant with RoHS.
Technical Context
The 2N6107G operates as a medium-power PNP bipolar junction transistor optimized for robust switching and analog amplification. Its safe operating area (SOA) is defined up to 7 A and 70 V under single-pulse conditions at TC = 25°C, with secondary breakdown and thermal limits explicitly characterized in Figure 5 of the datasheet.
It exhibits fT = 10 MHz at IC = 500 mA, VCE = 4.0 V, and has Cob = 250 pF at VCB = 10 V, supporting moderate-frequency switching. The device uses standard B-E-C terminal assignment in TO-220 case 221A style 1, with collector internally connected to the metal tab for heatsinking.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCEO | 70 Vdc - Maximum collector-emitter voltage before breakdown under open-base conditions; defines upper voltage limit in switching topologies. |
| IC (continuous) | 7.0 Adc - Continuous collector current rating at TC = 25°C; determines maximum steady-state load drive capability. |
| PD | 40 W - Total power dissipation at TC = 25°C; requires heatsink design accounting for 3.125°C/W RJC. |
| hFE | ≥30 - DC current gain at IC = 7.0 A, VCE = 4.0 V; sets minimum base drive current required for saturation. |
| VCE(sat) | ≤3.5 Vdc - Collector-emitter saturation voltage at IC = 7.0 A, IB = 3.0 A; directly impacts conduction loss in switch-mode operation. |
| fT | 10 MHz - Current gain-bandwidth product at IC = 500 mA; indicates usable frequency range for small-signal amplification. |
Pinout & Package
2N6107G uses the TO-220 package (Case 221A, Style 1), with the metal tab electrically connected to the collector terminal and designed for mechanical mounting and thermal conduction to a heatsink.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (Leftmost, when face-up, tab down) | Base | Control electrode; requires ≥3.0 A peak base current for full saturation at 7 A collector load. |
| 2 & 4 (Tab and center pin) | Collector | Main high-current output terminal; internally bonded to metal tab for low-inductance, high-power thermal path. |
| 3 (Rightmost) | Emitter | Current return path; reverse-biased VEB rating of 5.0 Vdc defines maximum allowable emitter-base reverse voltage. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| High VCEO rating | 70 Vdc enables use in 48 V and 60 V industrial bus systems without derating. |
| Robust SOA | Defined active-region SOA up to 7 A/70 V (single pulse, TC = 25°C) supports reliable hard-switching in relay drivers and PWM stages. |
| Thermal performance | RJC = 3.125°C/W allows efficient heat transfer to external heatsink, critical for sustained 40 W operation. |
| Pb-free & RoHS | G-suffix confirms lead-free termination and full compliance with EU RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU. |
Applications
| Industrial Power Supply Regulation | DC Motor Direction Control |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Used in series-pass or foldback current-limiting stages of 24–48 V industrial SMPS outputs. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: PNP power switch regulating output voltage via base-driven linear conduction. Use Value: 70 VCEO withstands transient surges common in factory-floor power rails; 7 A rating supports >30 W output stages. |
Use Scenario: Embedded in H-bridge half-bridge legs to reverse polarity across brushed DC motors in automation actuators. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-side PNP switch enabling bidirectional current flow through motor windings. Use Value: Low VCE(sat) ≤3.5 V minimizes conduction loss during forward conduction; TO-220 tab-mounting simplifies thermal management in compact enclosures. |
| Relay Driver Circuit | Linear Audio Output Stage |

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Saturated PNP switch providing low-impedance path to ground for relay coil return. Use Value: 10 MHz fT ensures clean switching edges; 5.0 VEB rating tolerates flyback-induced reverse bias during coil de-energization. |
Use Scenario: Complementary pair emitter-follower output stage in Class AB audio amplifiers delivering 5–10 W into 4–8 Ω loads. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: PNP output transistor handling negative half-cycle current delivery with minimal crossover distortion. Use Value: hFE ≥30 at 7 A ensures stable bias control; 40 W power rating accommodates short-term musical peaks without thermal shutdown. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar PNP power transistor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MJD127G | Lower VCEO (60 V), same TO-220 package, hFE ≥25 at IC = 3 A; lower fT (3 MHz). | Suitable for ≤48 V systems only; not recommended for 60 V bus applications where 2N6107G's 70 V rating provides margin. | Select MJD127G only if system max VCE stays below 55 V and thermal budget permits higher VCE(sat). |
| BD249C | Higher VCEO (80 V), TO-126 package (smaller footprint, higher RJC = 5°C/W), hFE ≥40 at IC = 2 A. | Requires PCB redesign due to different package; limited to ≤25 W continuous dissipation without forced cooling. | Choose BD249C only when board space is constrained and voltage margin >80 V is needed-verify thermal interface for RJC increase. |
Compared with MJD127G and BD249C, the 2N6107G uniquely balances 70 VCEO, 7 A current, TO-220 thermal performance (RJC = 3.125°C/W), and Pb-free compliance-making it optimal for industrial 48–60 V switching and linear applications requiring proven reliability and heatsink compatibility.

FAQ
What is the maximum collector-emitter voltage rating for the 2N6107G?
The 2N6107G has a maximum collector-emitter sustaining voltage (VCEO(sus)) of 70 Vdc at IC = 100 mAdc and IB = 0. This rating is confirmed in the "OFF CHARACTERISTICS" table on page 2 of the official onsemi datasheet (Rev. 12, June 2024). Exceeding this voltage risks avalanche breakdown and permanent device damage.
Is the 2N6107G pin-compatible with other transistors in the 2N61xx series?
Yes-the 2N6107G shares identical TO-220 pinout (B-E-C) and terminal assignments with 2N6109G and 2N6111G per the "ORDERING INFORMATION" and marking diagram on page 4 of the onsemi datasheet. However, VCEO, VCB, and hFE differ across variants, so electrical substitution requires validation against circuit voltage and gain requirements.
Does the 2N6107G require a heatsink in normal operation?
Yes-the 2N6107G dissipates up to 40 W at TC = 25°C, and its RJC = 3.125°C/W necessitates a heatsink for any sustained power >5 W. Without thermal management, junction temperature will exceed 150°C even at modest loads; the metal tab must be electrically isolated and thermally coupled to a heatsink using appropriate mounting hardware.
What is the typical DC current gain (hFE) of the 2N6107G at full load?
The 2N6107G guarantees hFE ≥30 at IC = 7.0 Adc and VCE = 4.0 Vdc per the "ON CHARACTERISTICS" table on page 2 of the datasheet. This value is measured under pulsed conditions (duty cycle ≤2.0%) and defines the minimum base current (≥233 mA) required to saturate the 2N6107G at full 7 A collector current.
Is the 2N6107G suitable for switching applications above 100 kHz?
No-the 2N6107G is not optimized for high-frequency switching. Its fT = 10 MHz and relatively high Cob = 250 pF limit practical switching speeds to ≤50 kHz in hard-switched topologies. For >100 kHz operation, MOSFETs or RF-optimized BJTs with faster tr/tf and lower capacitance should be selected instead of the 2N6107G.
