Product details
Overview
MMST4126-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a PNP small-signal transistor in SOT323 package, rated for -25V VCEO, -200mA IC, and 200mW power dissipation. It features epitaxial planar die construction, AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive reliability, and operates across -55°C to +150°C. It is commonly used in low-power switching and amplification circuits in space-constrained consumer and automotive modules.
For engineers reviewing the MMST4126-7 datasheet, MMST4126-7 pinout, MMST4126-7 application, or MMST4126-7 equivalent, key selection considerations include its complementary NPN pairing with MMST4124, VCE(sat) of -0.40V at -50mA/-5mA drive, hFE range of 120–360, fT of 250MHz, and ESD robustness (4kV HBM).
Technical Context
This PNP bipolar junction transistor employs epitaxial planar die construction for stable gain and low leakage. Its -25V VCEO and -4V VEBO support moderate-voltage biasing in discrete amplifier and switch stages, while the 250MHz fT enables audio-frequency and low-speed digital signal handling.
The device is qualified to AEC-Q101, confirming suitability for automotive environments, and exhibits 4.0dB noise figure at 1kHz with 100µA collector current - indicating low-noise capability for preamplifier front-ends where signal integrity is critical.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCEO | -25 V - Maximum safe collector-emitter voltage before breakdown in common-emitter configuration |
| IC | -200 mA - Continuous DC collector current rating under thermal limits |
| PD | 200 mW - Power dissipation limit on standard 1oz copper PCB under still-air conditions |
| hFE | 120–360 - DC current gain range at IC = -2mA and -50mA, enabling predictable bias design |
| fT | 250 MHz - Transition frequency defining usable bandwidth for small-signal amplification |
| VCE(sat) | -0.40 V @ IC = -50mA, IB = -5mA - Low saturation voltage ensures minimal conduction loss in switching applications |
| ESD HBM | 4,000 V - Robustness against human-body model electrostatic discharge during handling and assembly |

Use Value: ICBO ≤ -50nA at -20V VCB prevents measurement drift; SOT323 footprint saves board space in coin-cell-powered designs. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar PNP small-signal transistor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MMST3906-7 | VCEO = -40V, hFE = 100–300, VCE(sat) = -0.4V @ -50mA/-5mA, same SOT323 package | Higher voltage rating allows use in 24V industrial systems; slightly lower hFE spread affects bias stability margin | Select when >25V system margin is required; verify base drive sufficiency for target hFE min |
| BC807-25LT1G | VCEO = -45V, hFE = 160–400, PD = 310mW, SOT23 package (larger footprint) | Higher power and gain support more demanding linear stages; SOT23 requires layout revision | Choose for improved thermal margin or gain consistency; confirm PCB pad compatibility |
Compared with MMST4126-7, MMST3906-7 offers higher voltage tolerance but narrower hFE range, while BC807-25LT1G delivers greater power handling and gain spread at the cost of larger footprint - both require validation of base drive and thermal layout in replacement scenarios.

FAQ
Is MMST4126-7 still in active production?
No - MMST4126-7 is officially obsolete per Diodes' datasheet DS30161 Rev. 10-4 (June 2021). Diodes recommends MMST3906 as the direct replacement. Aetrix Electronics maintains legacy inventory and provides cross-reference support, including technical validation for migration to MMST3906-7 or BC807-25LT1G.
What is the pin configuration for MMST4126-7 in SOT323?
The SOT323 package has three terminals: Emitter (left pin, marked side), Base (center pin), and Collector (right pin) when viewing the top side with marking code "K2B" right-aligned. Pin 1 is Emitter, Pin 2 is Base, Pin 3 is Collector - confirmed by Diodes' official top-view diagram and package outline drawing.
Can MMST4126-7 be used in place of a generic PNP transistor like 2N3906?
Yes, functionally - but with critical differences: MMST4126-7 uses SOT323 (vs. TO-92 for 2N3906), has tighter hFE range (120–360 vs. 100–300), and is AEC-Q101 qualified. Layout, thermal, and mechanical constraints must be verified; it is not a drop-in replacement without PCB redesign due to package size and lead pitch.
Does MMST4126-7 support lead-free reflow soldering?
Yes - MMST4126-7 is fully RoHS-compliant and lead-free, with matte tin-plated leads qualified per MIL-STD-202, Method 208. It supports standard Pb-free reflow profiles (J-STD-020 Level 1), and its moisture sensitivity level is rated at MSL 1, allowing unlimited floor life at ≤30°C/60% RH without dry-pack requirements.
