Product details
Overview
MPS6513_D26Z from Fairchild Semiconductor is an NPN bipolar junction transistor designed for general-purpose amplification and switching in low-power analog and digital circuits, with DC current gain (hFE) of 90–180 at IC = 2 mA, VCE = 10 V, collector-emitter voltage rating of 30 V, and usable frequency response up to 100 MHz - deployed in signal conditioning stages of consumer audio preamps and discrete logic interface circuits.
For engineers reviewing the MPS6513_D26Z datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include verified hFE range at multiple operating points, thermal resistance (RθJA = 200 °C/W on FR-4), saturation voltage under defined drive conditions (VCE(sat) = 0.5 V @ IC = 50 mA, IB = 5 mA), and TO-92 mechanical compatibility for through-hole prototyping and legacy board replacement.
Technical Context
The MPS6513_D26Z operates as a silicon NPN BJT fabricated using Process 23, supporting both linear amplification (up to 100 MHz fT) and saturated switching (IC ≤ 200 mA DC). Its base-emitter junction withstands only 4 V reverse bias, requiring input clamping in microcontroller-driven switch applications.
Thermal design must account for RθJA = 200 °C/W on standard 1.6" × 1.6" FR-4 PCB; derating begins above 25°C at 5.0 mW/°C. The device's Cob = 3.5 pF at VCB = 5 V enables stable high-frequency small-signal operation without unintended resonance in tuned amplifier stages.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCBO | 40 V - maximum reverse bias before collector-base junction breakdown; sets safe headroom for inductive load flyback protection |
| VCEO | 30 V - maximum collector-emitter voltage under open-base condition; defines upper rail limit in common-emitter switches |
| hFE | 90–180 @ IC = 2 mA - usable DC current gain range for predictable base drive calculation in linear and switching modes |
| VCE(sat) | 0.5 V @ IC = 50 mA, IB = 5 mA - ensures < 25 mW power loss per switch event, enabling efficient low-side load control |
| Cob | 3.5 pF @ VCB = 5 V - limits Miller effect in RF amplifier stages up to 100 MHz, preserving bandwidth stability |
| RθJA | 200 °C/W - requires thermal relief pads or airflow for >100 mW continuous dissipation on standard FR-4 |
| TJ Range | −55 to +150 °C - supports industrial ambient operation without derating below −40 °C or above +85 °C |
Pinout & Package
Package: TO-92 - three-lead through-hole plastic package with standard 0.1" lead pitch, compatible with manual soldering and wave-solder processes; leads are tin-plated copper, rated for 260°C peak reflow per JEDEC J-STD-020.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (Emitter) | Current sink terminal | Connected to ground or low-impedance return path; polarity-sensitive - reversal causes device failure |
| 2 (Base) | Control input node | Requires current-limited drive (IB ≤ 5 mA typical); sensitive to ESD due to low VEBO = 4 V |
| 3 (Collector) | Current source output | Drives load between collector and positive rail; handles up to 200 mA DC with thermal management |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| DC current gain range | hFE = 90–180 at IC = 2 mA - enables consistent biasing across production lots without trim resistors |
| Switching capability | Rated for 200 mA DC collector current - supports relay drivers, LED arrays, and small solenoid interfaces |
| High-frequency performance | fT up to 100 MHz - suitable for RF preamplifiers and broadband signal buffering below 30 MHz |
| Thermal robustness | 150 °C max junction temperature - allows operation in sealed enclosures with passive cooling only |
| Low-output capacitance | Cob = 3.5 pF - minimizes loading on preceding stage in multi-stage amplifiers and oscillator feedback paths |
Applications
| Audio Signal Amplifier | Microcontroller Interface Switch |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Low-noise preamplification of electret microphone output in portable voice recorders before ADC sampling. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: NPN common-emitter amplifier configured for 20–20 kHz bandwidth with fixed emitter degeneration. Use Value: Delivers ≥40 dB voltage gain with THD < 0.5% at 1 Vpp input, leveraging hFE consistency and low Cob to avoid high-frequency roll-off. | Use Scenario: Driving 12 V, 80 mA indicator LEDs from 3.3 V GPIO pins of ARM Cortex-M0+ microcontrollers. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Saturated NPN switch with base resistor selected for IB = 5 mA to ensure VCE(sat) ≤ 0.5 V. Use Value: Enables reliable on/off control with < 100 ns turn-on delay and no shoot-through risk, unlike MOSFET alternatives requiring level shifters. |
| RF Detector Stage | Legacy Board Replacement |
Use Scenario: Envelope detection in 27 MHz ISM-band remote control receivers using diode-capacitor input followed by active filtering. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Common-collector buffer isolating detector diode from RC filter, preserving signal rise time. Use Value: Cob = 3.5 pF prevents capacitive loading-induced distortion; fT margin ensures flat response across modulation bandwidth. | Use Scenario: Drop-in replacement for obsolete MPS6513 variants on 1990s-era test equipment mainboards requiring through-hole NPN transistors. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Direct-fit TO-92 substitute maintaining identical pinout, gain, and voltage ratings. Use Value: Eliminates redesign effort; matches original VCEO = 30 V, hFE = 90–180, and RθJA = 200 °C/W without layout modification. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar NPN general-purpose amplifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BC547B | hFE = 200–450 @ IC = 2 mA; VCEO = 45 V; Cob = 4.5 pF | Higher gain and voltage rating, but larger Cob may reduce HF stability in tuned circuits | Preferred when higher VCEO margin or tighter hFE binning is required; verify Cob impact in RF stages |
| 2N3904 | hFE = 100–300 @ IC = 10 mA; VCEO = 40 V; RθJA = 200 °C/W | Near-identical thermal and pinout specs, but hFE tested at higher IC - less predictable at 2 mA bias | Valid alternative for switching; confirm hFE at actual operating point before use in precision amplifiers |
Compared with BC547B and 2N3904, the MPS6513_D26Z offers optimized hFE testing at 2 mA - matching typical small-signal amplifier bias points - and lower Cob for improved high-frequency fidelity, while maintaining identical TO-92 footprint and thermal behavior on FR-4.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous collector current rating for MPS6513_D26Z?
The MPS6513_D26Z has a maximum DC collector current (IC) rating of 200 mA at TC = 25°C. Operation above this value requires verification of junction temperature rise using RθJA = 200 °C/W and derating at 5.0 mW/°C above 25°C. Exceeding 200 mA risks thermal runaway or permanent degradation of the MPS6513_D26Z.
Does MPS6513_D26Z support high-frequency amplifier designs?
Yes, the MPS6513_D26Z is characterized for useful dynamic range up to 100 MHz as an amplifier, with Cob = 3.5 pF and fT sufficient for broadband small-signal stages below 30 MHz. Its performance is validated in common-emitter configurations with proper neutralization; the MPS6513_D26Z is not intended for GHz-range RF power amplification.
What is the pin configuration of MPS6513_D26Z in TO-92 package?
The MPS6513_D26Z uses standard TO-92 pinout: Pin 1 = Emitter, Pin 2 = Base, Pin 3 = Collector - viewed with flat side facing outward and leads pointing down. This matches JEDEC TO-92 outline and is identical to BC547, 2N3904, and other industry-standard NPN transistors, ensuring direct board-level compatibility for the MPS6513_D26Z.
Can MPS6513_D26Z replace MPS6513 without design changes?
Yes, MPS6513_D26Z is a direct revision of the original MPS6513, sharing identical electrical specifications, TO-92 package, pinout, and thermal characteristics. No schematic or layout modifications are needed when substituting MPS6513_D26Z for legacy MPS6513 in existing designs - the MPS6513_D26Z maintains full functional and mechanical equivalence.
What is the emitter-base voltage limit for MPS6513_D26Z?
The MPS6513_D26Z has a maximum emitter-base voltage (VEBO) rating of 4 V. Exceeding this value - even briefly - risks irreversible damage to the base-emitter junction. In microcontroller-driven switch applications, a series base resistor and/or Schottky clamp diode is recommended to protect the MPS6513_D26Z against GPIO overshoot or inductive kickback.
