Product details
Overview
MMSTA06Q-7-F from Diodes Incorporated is an AEC-Q101-qualified 80V NPN small-signal bipolar junction transistor in SOT323 package, rated for 500mA collector current and 200mW power dissipation, with DC current gain (hFE) ≥100 at 10mA/1V, used in automotive load switching and signal amplification circuits.
For engineers reviewing the MMSTA06Q-7-F datasheet, MMSTA06Q-7-F pinout, MMSTA06Q-7-F application, or MMSTA06Q-7-F equivalent, key selection criteria include VCEO = 80V, IC = 500mA, hFE ≥100 @ 10mA, VCE(SAT) ≤ 0.25V @ 100mA/10mA, and AEC-Q101 qualification for under-hood automotive use.
Technical Context
This NPN BJT employs epitaxial planar die construction for stable high-voltage operation and thermal robustness across −55°C to +150°C ambient range. Its 80V VCEO and 4V VEBO support high-side switching in 24V automotive systems, while fT = 100MHz enables RF-coupled preamplifier stages.
The device delivers VCE(SAT) ≤ 0.25V at IC = 100mA/IB = 10mA and maintains hFE ≥100 over 0.1–100mA collector current range, enabling predictable biasing in linear and saturated-mode applications without external compensation.
Key Specifications

| VCEO | 80V - supports switching in 24V automotive power rails with 3× safety margin |
| IC | 500mA - handles peak loads in body control modules and LED drivers |
| PD | 200mW - limits thermal rise on 1oz FR-4 PCB with RθJA = 625°C/W |
| hFE | ≥100 @ 10mA/1V - ensures reliable base drive in low-power logic interface circuits |
| fT | 100MHz - enables use in IF amplifiers and fast-switching sensor signal conditioning |
| ESD HBM | 4000V - meets automotive ESD immunity requirements per JESD22-A114 |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar NPN switching applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BC846B,215 | VCEO = 65V, IC = 100mA, non-AEC-Q101 | Limited to 12V consumer electronics; not qualified for automotive under-hood use | Select only for cost-sensitive non-automotive designs where 80V rating and AEC-Q101 are unnecessary |
| MMBT3904LT1G | VCEO = 40V, IC = 200mA, AEC-Q101 qualified | Insufficient voltage margin for 24V load-dump environments; lower current capability | Acceptable only in 12V systems with strict thermal management and derated voltage operation |
Compared with BC846B,215 and MMBT3904LT1G, MMSTA06Q-7-F uniquely combines 80V breakdown, 500mA current, and AEC-Q101 qualification-enabling single-part compliance for 24V automotive switching without voltage derating or secondary protection.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous collector current for MMSTA06Q-7-F?
The absolute maximum continuous collector current is 500mA at TA = +25°C. Derating applies above 25°C ambient: linear reduction to zero at +150°C case temperature, governed by RθJA = 625°C/W and PD = 200mW limit. Operation above 300mA requires thermal pad design per Diodes' SOT323 layout guidelines.
Is MMSTA06Q-7-F suitable for linear amplification applications?
Yes-its hFE ≥100 over 0.1–100mA and fT = 100MHz support low-noise, medium-gain amplification in sensor front-ends. However, VCE(SAT) and thermal resistance make it less optimal than dedicated RF transistors for >10MHz analog signal paths.
Does MMSTA06Q-7-F have a complementary PNP part?
Yes-the MMSTA56Q is the AEC-Q101-qualified complementary PNP transistor, sharing identical SOT323 packaging, 80V ratings, 500mA current capability, and automotive qualification. Both are marked with K1G code and support matched pair design in H-bridge or differential amplifier topologies.
What does the "-7-F" suffix indicate in MMSTA06Q-7-F?
The "-7-F" denotes tape-and-reel packaging: 7-inch reel diameter, 8mm tape width, and 3,000 units per reel. The "F" confirms full RoHS compliance and halogen-free ("Green") status per Diodes Incorporated's specification, distinct from non-"F" variants that may lack antimony/bromine/chlorine restrictions.
