Product details
Overview
MCH3105-TL-E from onsemi is a PNP bipolar junction transistor in MCPH3 (SC-70/SOT-323) package, rated for −50 V VCEO, −3 A IC, and low −100 mV typical VCE(sat) at −1 A/−50 mA drive, optimized for high-efficiency DC/DC converters and motor drivers where compact size and fast switching are critical.
For engineers reviewing the MCH3105-TL-E datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include verified PNP polarity, −50 V breakdown rating, sub-1 V saturation voltage under load, 360 MHz fT, and ultrasmall 2.1 × 1.6 mm footprint with 0.85 mm mounting height.
Technical Context
The MCH3105-TL-E employs FBET and MBIT fabrication processes to achieve high current gain (hFE = 200–560 at −2 V VCE, −100 mA IC) and high-speed switching with 35 ns turn-on time and 22 ns fall time. Its −50 V V(BR)CEO and −6 V V(BR)EBO ratings support robust operation in industrial control and relay driver circuits.
Thermal performance is enabled by 0.8 W power dissipation on ceramic substrate (600 mm² × 0.8 mm), with junction temperature limited to 150 °C and storage range spanning −55 to +150 °C - suitable for automotive-adjacent and industrial ambient environments.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCEO | −50 V - Maximum safe collector-emitter voltage before breakdown in open-base configuration. |
| IC | −3 A - Continuous DC collector current handling capability at 25 °C ambient. |
| VCE(sat) (typ) | −100 mV at −1 A/−50 mA - Enables <100 mW conduction loss per switch in high-current digital loads. |
| fT | 360 MHz - Supports switching frequencies up to ~100 MHz in practical amplifier or oscillator designs. |
| Cob | 13 pF at −10 V VCB - Low output capacitance minimizes Miller effect and improves high-frequency gain stability. |
| hFE | 200–560 at −2 V VCE, −100 mA IC - Ensures reliable base drive margin across production lots and temperature. |
| ton/tf | 35 ns / 22 ns - Enables clean edge transitions in PWM-driven lamp/motor control with minimal overlap loss. |
Pinout & Package
Package: MCPH3 (JEITA SC-70 / JEDEC SOT-323), 3-pin surface-mount, 2.1 mm × 1.6 mm × 0.85 mm height, 0.007 g mass, Pb-free, tape-and-reel (3,000 pcs/reel).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Base | Control input requiring −50 mA max base current; polarity inverted vs NPN - negative drive turns device ON. |
| 2 | Emitter | Common reference terminal for PNP topology; connected to higher potential rail in high-side switching configurations. |
| 3 | Collector | Current sink node; handles −3 A continuous load; must be routed with adequate copper area for thermal management. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low VCE(sat) | −100 mV typ at −1 A ensures <100 mW conduction loss - critical for thermally constrained DC/DC stages. |
| Ultrasmall MCPH3 package | 0.85 mm profile enables placement beneath connectors or in ultra-thin portable power modules. |
| High-speed switching | 35 ns ton, 22 ns tf supports >5 MHz PWM without significant dead-time penalty in synchronous rectifiers. |
| Large current capacity | −3 A IC and −6 A ICP allow single-device use in 5–12 V motor drivers up to 36 W peak. |
| High power dissipation | 0.8 W on ceramic substrate permits sustained operation at 75 °C ambient without derating in sealed enclosures. |
Applications
| DC/DC Converter Switching Stage | Lamp Driver for Automotive Interior Lighting |
|---|---|

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 | Same MCPH3 package, but −40 V VCEO, −200 mA IC, higher −400 mV VCE(sat) - lower voltage/current capability. | Suitable only for low-power signal switching (<100 mA), not motor or relay loads. | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs performance; avoid for ≥500 mA loads due to thermal limitations. |
| BC807-40,215 | SOT-23 package (larger footprint), −45 V VCEO, −500 mA IC, −700 mV VCE(sat) - lower current, higher saturation loss. | Acceptable for 24 V logic-level interfacing but unsuitable for 3 A DC/DC or motor drive. | Choose only if SOT-23 is required for legacy layout compatibility; MCH3105-TL-E offers 6× higher current and 7× lower VCE(sat). |
Compared with MBT3906DW1T1G and BC807-40,215, the MCH3105-TL-E delivers 6× higher continuous current, 7× lower saturation voltage, and full −50 V breakdown margin - making it the sole option among the three qualified for 3 A industrial switching applications in ultracompact form factor.

FAQ
What is the polarity and transistor type of the MCH3105-TL-E?
The MCH3105-TL-E is a PNP bipolar junction transistor. Its polarity is confirmed by absolute maximum ratings including negative values for VCBO, VCES, VCEO, IC, and IB - all indicating PNP configuration. The device operates with emitter at higher potential than collector and base, turning ON when base is pulled negative relative to emitter. This matches the MCH3105 designation in onsemi's official documentation.
What is the exact package type and footprint of the MCH3105-TL-E?
The MCH3105-TL-E uses the MCPH3 package, which is mechanically identical to JEITA SC-70 and JEDEC SOT-323. Its dimensions are 2.1 mm × 1.6 mm × 0.85 mm height, with 0.65 mm pin pitch and 0.007 g mass. Land pattern and outline drawing are provided in onsemi document No.7128-7/7, confirming compatibility with standard SC-70 reflow profiles and pick-and-place equipment.
Does the MCH3105-TL-E support high-speed switching applications?
Yes, the MCH3105-TL-E supports high-speed switching with 35 ns turn-on time (ton), 22 ns fall time (tf), and 360 MHz gain-bandwidth product (fT). These parameters are measured under specified test conditions (VCE = −10 V, IC = −500 mA) and enable clean PWM operation up to several megahertz in motor control and DC/DC converter topologies.
What is the maximum power dissipation capability of the MCH3105-TL-E?
The MCH3105-TL-E has a maximum collector dissipation (PC) of 0.8 W when mounted on a ceramic substrate measuring 600 mm² × 0.8 mm thickness. Derating begins above 25 °C ambient, with linear reduction to zero at 150 °C junction temperature. This rating is validated in onsemi's thermal characterization data (No.7128-5/7) and applies only with proper board-level thermal design.
Is the MCH3105-TL-E RoHS compliant and lead-free?
Yes, the MCH3105-TL-E is RoHS compliant and lead-free, as explicitly stated in the "Ordering Information" section of the datasheet: "MCH3105-TL-E … Pb Free". The "TL" suffix denotes tape-and-reel packaging, and the "-E" suffix confirms lead-free finish per J-STD-609. Full compliance documentation is available through onsemi's quality portal.
