Product details
Overview
MCH6102-TL-E from onsemi is a PNP bipolar junction transistor in MCPH6 package, rated for −30 V VCEO, −1.5 A continuous collector current, and low −150 mV typical VCE(sat) at −750 mA/−15 mA drive-designed for high-efficiency relay and lamp driver circuits in space-constrained industrial controls.
For engineers reviewing the MCH6102-TL-E datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include verified PNP polarity, ultrasmall 0.85 mm mounting height, −30 V breakdown rating, high-speed switching (ton = 35 ns), and ceramic-substrate power dissipation of 1.0 W.
Technical Context
The MCH6102-TL-E implements a single PNP transistor structure using onsemi's MBIT process, delivering high DC current gain (hFE = 200–560 at −2 V VCE, −100 mA IC) and high-frequency response (fT = 500 MHz at −10 V VCE, −300 mA IC). Its low saturation voltage and fast switching enable efficient low-side switching in discrete driver stages.
It operates within −55°C to +150°C storage and junction temperature ranges, with absolute maximum ratings including −30 V VCEO, −40 V VCBO, and −5 V VEBO. The device is Pb-free, RoHS-compliant, and shipped in 3,000-piece embossed tape reels (TL packaging).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCEO | −30 V - supports reliable operation in 24 V industrial control rails with margin against transients |
| IC (cont.) | −1.5 A - drives medium-power loads like 12 V/24 V relays and LED arrays without external heatsinking |
| VCE(sat) | −150 mV typ. at −750 mA/−15 mA - minimizes conduction loss and self-heating in saturated-switch applications |
| fT | 500 MHz - enables stable operation up to high-frequency PWM control (e.g., >100 kHz lamp dimming) |
| hFE | 200–560 at −2 V, −100 mA - ensures robust base drive margin across temperature and production lot variation |
| PC | 1.0 W on 600 mm² ceramic substrate - provides usable thermal headroom for pulsed or intermittent duty cycles |
| ton/tf | 35 ns / 32 ns - reduces switching transition losses and EMI generation in fast-switching drivers |
Pinout & Package

Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultrasmall profile | 0.85 mm max mounting height enables use in ultra-thin industrial HMI and sensor modules |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar PNP transistor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MMBT3906LT1G | Lower IC (−200 mA), higher VCE(sat) (−300 mV typ.), SOT-23 package (1.1 mm height) | Not suitable for >500 mA loads; limited thermal performance in sustained switching | Select only for low-current signal-level inversion where board height is less critical than cost |
| DXT3906-7-F | Same PNP polarity, −200 mA IC, but in SOT-563 (0.9 mm height) with dual-emitter configuration | Designed for matched-pair biasing; lacks single-transistor current drive capability of MCH6102-TL-E | Prefer for complementary amplifier bias networks-not for standalone load switching |
Compared with MMBT3906LT1G and DXT3906-7-F, the MCH6102-TL-E delivers 3× higher continuous current, 57% lower saturation voltage, and 0.25 mm lower profile-making it uniquely suited for compact, high-current PNP switching where thermal and space constraints dominate.

FAQ
What is the polarity and transistor type of the MCH6102-TL-E?
The MCH6102-TL-E is a single PNP bipolar junction transistor. Its polarity is confirmed by negative absolute maximum ratings (e.g., −30 V VCEO, −1.5 A IC) and electrical characteristics tables specifying PNP test conditions. This makes the MCH6102-TL-E suitable for high-side or low-side switching configurations where emitter is tied to a positive rail or ground, respectively.
What is the maximum power dissipation of the MCH6102-TL-E under standard mounting conditions?
The MCH6102-TL-E has a maximum collector dissipation (PC) of 1.0 W when mounted on a 600 mm² × 0.8 mm ceramic substrate, as specified in the official onsemi datasheet No. 6480. This value is not valid for FR-4 PCBs or unmounted conditions. Derating is required above 25°C ambient, per the published PC vs. Ta curve in the MCH6102-TL-E datasheet.
Does the MCH6102-TL-E have a documented pin-to-pin replacement?
No documented pin-to-pin replacement for the MCH6102-TL-E is listed in onsemi's official documentation or authorized distributor cross-reference tools. While other MCPH6-packaged PNP transistors exist, none share identical electrical specifications, thermal performance, and pin assignment (four-collector layout). Substitution requires full circuit validation, especially for saturation voltage and switching timing behavior in the MCH6102-TL-E.
What is the typical VCE(sat) of the MCH6102-TL-E and under what conditions is it measured?
The typical VCE(sat) of the MCH6102-TL-E is −150 mV, measured at IC = −750 mA and IB = −15 mA, with Ta = 25°C. This value reflects true saturation under practical drive conditions and is significantly lower than legacy PNP transistors-directly enabling higher efficiency in relay and lamp driver designs using the MCH6102-TL-E.
Is the MCH6102-TL-E RoHS-compliant and lead-free?
Yes, the MCH6102-TL-E is RoHS-compliant and lead-free, as explicitly stated in the "Ordering Information" section of its official datasheet (No. 6480) and marked "Pb Free" in the shipping memo. The TL-E suffix denotes lead-free, halogen-free, and RoHS-compliant packaging per onsemi's environmental compliance standards.
