Product details
Overview
MCH6202-TL-E from onsemi is an NPN bipolar junction transistor in MCPH6 package, rated for −30 V VCEO, 1.5 A continuous collector current, and 150 mV typical VCE(sat) at IC = −750 mA / IB = −15 mA. It delivers high-speed switching (ton = 35 ns, tf = 32 ns) and high DC current gain (hFE = 200–560 at VCE = 2 V, IC = 100 mA), optimized for motor driver stages in compact industrial control modules.
For engineers reviewing the MCH6202-TL-E datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include verified VCE(sat) performance at 750 mA, fT = 500 MHz gain-bandwidth, SC-88 footprint compatibility, and thermal dissipation capability (PC = 1.0 W on ceramic substrate).
Technical Context
The MCH6202-TL-E is an NPN transistor fabricated using onsemi's MBIT process, enabling low saturation voltage and high current handling in a 6-pin ultrasmall package. Its electrical behavior is defined by VCEO = −30 V, IC = −1.5 A, and VCE(sat) ≤ 225 mV (max) under standard drive conditions (IC/IB = 50).
It exhibits fT = 500 MHz at VCE = 10 V and IC = −300 mA, with Cob = 8 pF at VCB = −10 V, supporting fast switching in relay and lamp driver circuits where rise/fall time and storage time (tstg = 205 ns max) directly impact system efficiency.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous collector current rating for the MCH6202-TL-E?
The MCH6202-TL-E has a maximum continuous collector current (IC) rating of −1.5 A at Ta = 25°C when mounted on a 600 mm² × 0.8 mm ceramic substrate. This rating assumes proper thermal management; derating is required above 25°C ambient per the PC–Ta curve in the official datasheet. The MCH6202-TL-E maintains safe operation up to 150°C junction temperature.
Is the MCH6202-TL-E pin-compatible with the MCH6102-TL-E?
No-the MCH6202-TL-E is an NPN transistor, while the MCH6102-TL-E is its PNP complement. They share identical MCPH6 package dimensions and pinout (pins 1,2,5,6 = collector; pin 4 = emitter; pin 3 = base), but polarity reversal means they are not interchangeable without circuit redesign. The MCH6202-TL-E requires negative base drive relative to emitter for turn-on.
What is the typical VCE(sat) of the MCH6202-TL-E under standard test conditions?
The typical collector-to-emitter saturation voltage (VCE(sat)) of the MCH6202-TL-E is 150 mV at IC = −750 mA and IB = −15 mA (IC/IB = 50). The maximum guaranteed value is 225 mV under those same conditions. This low saturation voltage is confirmed across production lots and supports high-efficiency operation in battery-powered motor drivers.
Does the MCH6202-TL-E meet lead-free and RoHS compliance requirements?
Yes-the "TL-E" suffix in MCH6202-TL-E explicitly denotes lead-free (Pb-free) construction and RoHS compliance per EU Directive 2011/65/EU. The device uses matte tin plating on copper leads and conforms to J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 1 (MSL1), allowing unlimited floor life at ≤30°C/60% RH.
What is the gain-bandwidth product (fT) specification for the MCH6202-TL-E?
The gain-bandwidth product (fT) of the MCH6202-TL-E is 500 MHz, measured at VCE = 10 V and IC = −300 mA. This parameter is verified per onsemi's production test flow and confirms the device's capability for high-frequency switching applications such as 20 kHz PWM motor control and fast relay actuation without phase lag.
