Product details
Overview
CPH6102-TL-E from onsemi is a PNP bipolar junction transistor (BJT) rated for −50 V VCEO, −1 A continuous collector current, and low −180 mV typical VCE(sat) at IC = −500 mA / IB = −50 mA. It features high-speed switching (ton = 40 ns, tf = 30 ns), fT = 150 MHz, and operates in ultrasmall CPH6 (SOT-26/SC-74) package for space-constrained DC-DC converters and motor drivers.
For engineers reviewing the CPH6102-TL-E datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include verified −50 V breakdown rating, confirmed four-collector-terminal configuration, measured −180 mV VCE(sat) under specified bias, and JEDEC-qualified SOT-26 mechanical compatibility for automated assembly.
Technical Context
This PNP BJT employs onsemi's FBET and MBIT processes to achieve high current gain (hFE = 200–560 at IC = −100 mA) and stable performance across temperature. Its four parallel collector terminals reduce effective on-resistance and improve thermal dissipation in high-current switching paths.
The device supports fast switching with 40 ns turn-on and 30 ns fall time under defined test conditions (VCC = −25 V, RB = 50 Ω), while maintaining low output capacitance (Cob = 12 pF at VCB = −10 V) to minimize switching losses in PWM-driven loads like relay coils and lamp drivers.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCEO | −50 V - Maximum safe collector-emitter voltage before avalanche breakdown; enables use in 24 V and 48 V industrial bus switching |
| IC (cont.) | −1.0 A - Continuous DC collector current handling; supports ≥10 W load drive with proper heatsinking |
| VCE(sat) | −180 mV (typ.) at IC = −500 mA / IB = −50 mA - Low saturation voltage reduces conduction loss and self-heating in high-duty-cycle applications |
| fT | 150 MHz - Gain-bandwidth product confirms suitability for >1 MHz switching frequencies in synchronous rectifiers or gate drivers |
| tf | 30 ns - Measured fall time under standard test circuit; enables clean edge transitions in strobe and pulse-width modulated lighting |
| PC | 1.3 W (on ceramic substrate) - Power dissipation capability allows operation up to ~100°C ambient without forced cooling in compact layouts |
| Cob | 12 pF at VCB = −10 V - Low output capacitance minimizes Miller effect and improves switching efficiency in high-frequency inverters |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar PNP bipolar transistor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MBT3906DW1T1G | Double-die SOT-363 package; VCEO = −40 V, IC = −200 mA per device, VCE(sat) = −400 mV (typ.) | Lower voltage/current rating; suited for signal-level logic translation, not power switching | Select only for low-power bias networks where footprint matches and −40 V suffices |
| PN2907A | TO-92 package; VCEO = −60 V, IC = −600 mA, VCE(sat) = −1.6 V (max) at IC = −500 mA | Through-hole mounting; higher VCE(sat) increases conduction loss; unsuitable for high-frequency PWM | Choose only for legacy through-hole designs requiring −60 V rating and no surface-mount constraints |
Compared with MBT3906DW1T1G and PN2907A, CPH6102-TL-E delivers superior power-handling (−1 A, −50 V), lower saturation voltage (−180 mV), and SMT-compatible CPH6 packaging-making it the only option among the three qualified for compact, high-efficiency DC-DC and motor drive applications.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous collector current rating for CPH6102-TL-E?
The CPH6102-TL-E is rated for −1.0 A continuous collector current (IC) at Ta = 25°C when mounted on a ceramic substrate (600 mm² × 0.8 mm). Derating applies above 25°C ambient, with full rating maintained up to ~75°C ambient under typical PCB thermal conditions. This rating relies on all four collector terminals (pins 1, 2, 5, 6) being properly connected in parallel on the PCB layout.
Does CPH6102-TL-E support high-frequency switching applications?
Yes, CPH6102-TL-E supports high-frequency switching with a measured gain-bandwidth product (fT) of 150 MHz and fast switching times (ton = 40 ns, tf = 30 ns) under standardized test conditions. These parameters confirm suitability for PWM-based applications up to several megahertz, including LED strobes and synchronous rectification in DC-DC converters.
What package type is used for CPH6102-TL-E, and is it compatible with standard SOT-26 footprints?
CPH6102-TL-E uses the CPH6 package, which is mechanically identical to JEDEC SOT-26 and JEITA SC-74. Its 2.9 mm × 1.6 mm body, 0.6 mm lead pitch, and 6-pin configuration are fully compatible with standard SOT-26 land patterns and reflow profiles, enabling drop-in use in existing SOT-26 assembly lines without tooling changes.
What is the typical collector-emitter saturation voltage (VCE(sat)) of CPH6102-TL-E, and under what conditions is it specified?
The typical VCE(sat) of CPH6102-TL-E is −180 mV, measured at IC = −500 mA and IB = −50 mA (IC/IB = 10) with Ta = 25°C. This low saturation voltage is enabled by onsemi's FBET process and the four-collector terminal design, directly reducing conduction loss in power switching applications.
Can CPH6102-TL-E replace older PNP transistors like the 2N3906 in high-current applications?
No-CPH6102-TL-E is not a direct replacement for 2N3906 due to fundamental differences: 2N3906 is rated for −200 mA and −40 V, while CPH6102-TL-E delivers −1 A and −50 V with four collector pins. Substituting CPH6102-TL-E into a 2N3906 footprint would cause solder joint stress and incorrect pin mapping. Use only in designs specifically laid out for CPH6 (SOT-26) with verified collector terminal routing.
