Product details
Overview
MMBTA06-7-F from Diodes Incorporated is an NPN medium-power bipolar junction transistor in SOT23 package, rated for 80 V VCEO, 500 mA IC, and 350 mW PD (on 15 mm × 15 mm PCB), optimized for low-power amplification and switching in space-constrained industrial and consumer circuits.
For engineers reviewing the MMBTA06-7-F datasheet, MMBTA06-7-F pinout, MMBTA06-7-F application, or MMBTA06-7-F equivalent, key selection criteria include its 80 V collector-emitter breakdown voltage, 100–300 DC current gain at 10 mA, 0.25 V VCE(sat) at 100 mA/10 mA drive, 100 MHz fT, and SOT23 thermal resistance of 357 °C/W (junction-to-ambient).
Technical Context
This NPN transistor uses epitaxial planar die construction to ensure stable gain and low leakage across temperature. Its 4.0 V VEBO and 100 nA ICBO at 80 V support reliable biasing in low-voltage control stages and signal conditioning paths.
The device operates over −55 °C to +150 °C and meets JEDEC Class 3A HBM ESD rating (4 kV), making it suitable for non-automotive industrial environments where transient immunity and thermal robustness are required without automotive qualification.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCEO | 80 V - Maximum safe collector-emitter voltage before avalanche conduction in switching or linear operation. |
| IC | 500 mA - Continuous collector current limit defining usable load drive capability in amplifier or switch mode. |
| PD | 350 mW - Max power dissipation on 15 mm × 15 mm 1 oz copper PCB, setting thermal design margin for steady-state operation. |
| hFE | 100–300 - DC current gain range at 10 mA IC/1 V VCE, enabling predictable base drive sizing in saturated switching. |
| fT | 100 MHz - Transition frequency indicating usable bandwidth for small-signal amplification up to ~10 MHz with gain >1. |
| VCE(sat) | 0.25 V - Collector-emitter saturation voltage at 100 mA IC/10 mA IB, directly determining conduction loss in digital logic interface or relay driver stages. |
| RθJA | 357 °C/W - Junction-to-ambient thermal resistance on specified PCB layout, used to calculate junction temperature rise under load. |
Pinout & Package
Package: SOT23 - Surface-mount plastic package measuring 2.90 mm × 1.30 mm × 1.03 mm (H × C × D), UL 94V-0 rated, with matte tin-plated leads solderable per MIL-STD-202.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (Emitter) | Current sink terminal | Reference node for base-emitter bias; connects to ground or low-side return path in common-emitter configurations. |
| 2 (Base) | Control input | Receives forward-biased current to modulate collector current; requires series resistor to limit IB and prevent saturation delay. |
| 3 (Collector) | Current source terminal | Delivers amplified or switched current to load; connects to supply rail in low-side switch or active load in amplifier stage. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Epitaxial planar die construction | Ensures tight parameter distribution and stable hFE vs. temperature, critical for consistent gain in analog front-ends. |
| Complementary PNP pairing | Directly mates with MMBTA56 for push-pull output stages or differential pair designs without gain mismatch. |
| Lead-free & halogen-free "Green" compliance | Meets RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) and halogen limits (<900 ppm Br/Cl, <1000 ppm Sb), supporting eco-conscious manufacturing. |
| JEDEC Class 3A HBM ESD rating | Withstands 4 kV human-body model discharge, reducing need for external protection in board-level handling and assembly. |
Applications
| LED Driver Circuit | Microcontroller GPIO Interface |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Driving 20 mA indicator LEDs from 3.3 V or 5 V microcontroller outputs. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-side switch controlling LED current path to ground via saturated NPN operation. Use Value: 0.25 V VCE(sat) minimizes voltage drop and power loss, preserving LED forward voltage margin and brightness consistency. | Use Scenario: Level-shifting or current boosting between MCU I/O pins and higher-current peripherals (e.g., sensors, relays). IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Digital buffer/amplifier translating weak GPIO signals into robust 100 mA capable drive. Use Value: 100–300 hFE enables reliable turn-on with ≤1 mA base drive, reducing MCU pin loading and timing uncertainty. |
| Low-Voltage Signal Amplifier | Power Supply Enable Switch |
Use Scenario: Small-signal preamplification of sensor outputs (e.g., thermistor, photodiode) in battery-powered devices. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Common-emitter amplifier stage providing voltage gain with minimal quiescent current. Use Value: 100 MHz fT supports bandwidths up to 10 MHz, sufficient for audio and sub-MHz sensor signal conditioning. | Use Scenario: Enabling/disabling auxiliary rails (e.g., 3.3 V LDO input) using a logic-controlled high-side or low-side switch. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-side enable switch turning on/off power path based on system control signal. Use Value: 80 V VCEO provides headroom above typical 24 V industrial rails, ensuring safe operation during transients. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar NPN medium-power transistor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MMBT3904-7-F | Lower VCEO (40 V), lower PD (310 mW), same SOT23 package and pinout. | Not suitable for 24 V+ supply rails or higher-power loads requiring >310 mW dissipation. | Select when operating below 40 V and thermal budget is tighter; verify SOA fit for pulse loads. |
| PN2222A-AP | TO-92 package, higher PD (625 mW), but larger footprint and different pinout (E-B-C vs. E-B-C SOT23). | Requires PCB redesign; unsuitable for automated SMT assembly or dense layouts. | Choose only if through-hole mounting is mandatory and thermal demand exceeds 350 mW on SOT23. |
Compared with MMBT3904-7-F and PN2222A-AP, MMBTA06-7-F uniquely balances 80 V breakdown, SOT23 compactness, and 350 mW power handling-making it optimal for modern industrial controls where voltage headroom and board space are both constrained.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous collector current for MMBTA06-7-F?
The maximum continuous collector current is 500 mA at TA = +25°C, derated linearly above 25°C per the datasheet's thermal curve. At 100°C ambient, usable IC drops to approximately 350 mA due to the 357 °C/W RθJA and 350 mW PD limit. Peak pulsed current reaches 1 A for ≤100 µs with 2% duty cycle.
Is MMBTA06-7-F pin-compatible with MMBTA05-7-F?
Yes-both share identical SOT23 package and pinout (Emitter-Base-Collector on pins 1-2-3). However, MMBTA05-7-F has lower 60 V VCEO/VCB0 ratings and 310 mW PD, so substitution is only valid in circuits operating ≤60 V and within the lower power envelope.
Does MMBTA06-7-F support automotive applications?
No-MMBTA06-7-F is not AEC-Q101 qualified. Diodes offers the automotive-grade MMBTA06Q-7-F variant, which undergoes additional stress testing and lot traceability per AEC standards. Use MMBTA06Q-7-F for automotive body electronics or infotainment systems.
What is the typical DC current gain at 100 mA collector current?
At IC = 100 mA and VCE = 1.0 V, hFE is typically 100 (minimum guaranteed), with typical values ranging 150–250 depending on unit variation and temperature. The datasheet graph shows hFE decreases gradually above 30 mA, confirming suitability for moderate-current switching rather than high-gain linear amplification.
