Product details
Overview
MPS6560G from onsemi is an NPN silicon audio transistor in TO-92 package, rated for 25 VCEO, 500 mA continuous collector current, and 625 mW power dissipation at 25°C - designed for low-frequency amplification and switching in consumer audio stages, preamplifier drivers, and signal conditioning circuits.
For engineers reviewing the MPS6560G datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include verified hFE range (35–200), VCE(sat) ≤ 0.5 V at IC = 500 mA, fT = 60 MHz, thermal resistance RJA = 200 °C/W, and Pb-free TO-92 compliance per J-STD-609.
Technical Context
The MPS6560G operates as a general-purpose NPN bipolar junction transistor optimized for audio-frequency linear amplification and medium-current switching. Its DC current gain varies with operating point: min 35 at IC = 10 mA, min 50 at IC = 100 mA, and min 50 at IC = 500 mA - supporting stable biasing across multiple gain stages.
It features VBE(on) ≤ 1.2 V at IC = 500 mA and VCE = 1.0 V, enabling efficient drive from TTL/CMOS logic or op-amp outputs; its 60 MHz fT ensures adequate bandwidth for voice-band and narrowband RF applications up to ~10 MHz.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCEO | 25 V - maximum safe collector-emitter voltage before breakdown under open-base conditions |
| IC (continuous) | 500 mA - supports driver-stage loads such as small speakers, relay coils, or LED arrays |
| PD @ TA = 25°C | 625 mW - defines thermal derating limit for PCB-mounted operation without heatsink |
| hFE | 35–200 - wide DC current gain range enables flexible bias design across operating currents |
| fT | 60 MHz - usable bandwidth for audio preamps, tone control networks, and IF amplifiers |
| VCE(sat) | ≤ 0.5 V @ IC = 500 mA, IB = 50 mA - low saturation voltage minimizes power loss in switching mode |
| RJA | 200 °C/W - thermal resistance determines required PCB copper area for safe ambient operation |
Pinout & Package
Package: TO-92 (Case 29-11, Style 1), Pb-free, through-hole mounting. Standard lead form with emitter (pin 1), base (pin 2), collector (pin 3).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (Emitter) | Current exit path for majority carriers | Connected to ground or low-impedance return in common-emitter configurations |
| 2 (Base) | Control terminal for minority carrier injection | Driven by voltage or current source to regulate collector current with hFE-dependent gain |
| 3 (Collector) | Current entry path for majority carriers | Connected to load and supply rail; carries amplified output current in active or saturated mode |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Pb-free TO-92 packaging | Complies with J-STD-609 Class 2a; eliminates lead contamination risk in assembly and end-of-life handling |
| Guaranteed hFE at high IC | Min 50 at IC = 500 mA ensures predictable gain in power driver stages without gain collapse |
| Low VCE(sat) | ≤ 0.5 V reduces conduction loss and self-heating during switching or Class AB operation |
| 60 MHz fT | Supports stable small-signal amplification up to voiceband and sub-MHz RF applications |
| −55°C to +150°C TJ | Enables deployment in automotive cabin modules, industrial controls, and outdoor audio enclosures |
Applications
| Audio Preamp Stage | Small-Speaker Driver |
|---|---|

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Medium-current Class A/B switch/amplifier with direct-coupled or capacitor-coupled output. Use Value: 500 mA IC rating and ≤ 0.5 V VCE(sat) deliver >100 mW into 8 Ω with minimal thermal rise on standard FR-4. |
| Relay Coil Driver | Tone Generator Output Stage |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar NPN audio transistor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BC547C | Lower IC (100 mA), lower PD (500 mW), hFE 420–800 - higher gain but lower current capability | Suitable only for low-power preamp stages; not rated for 500 mA switching loads | Select BC547C when gain stability at µA–mA bias points is prioritized over drive strength |
| 2N3904 | Same TO-92 package; IC = 200 mA, VCEO = 40 V, hFE = 100–300 - higher voltage rating but insufficient current for speaker/relay drive | Preferred in high-voltage, low-current logic interface or oscillator circuits where VCEO > 30 V is required | Choose 2N3904 for 30–40 V rail applications with <200 mA load; avoid for 500 mA audio output stages |
Compared with BC547C and 2N3904, the MPS6560G uniquely balances 500 mA drive capability, 25 V rating, and guaranteed hFE ≥50 at full current - making it the only option among the three qualified for medium-power audio output and relay switching without parallel devices or heatsinking.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous collector current rating for the MPS6560G?
The MPS6560G is rated for 500 mA continuous collector current (IC) at TA = 25°C. Derating applies above 25°C at 5.0 mW/°C. This rating enables reliable use in speaker drivers and relay interfaces without forced cooling on standard PCB layouts.
Does the MPS6560G have Pb-free construction?
Yes, the MPS6560G is explicitly designated as Pb-free in the official ordering information and marking diagram. It complies with J-STD-609 Class 2a and meets RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU requirements for lead-free soldering processes.
What is the pin configuration of the MPS6560G in TO-92 package?
The MPS6560G uses TO-92 Style 1 pinout: Pin 1 = Emitter, Pin 2 = Base, Pin 3 = Collector. This matches standard NPN orientation for common-emitter amplifier designs and is confirmed in the mechanical case outline documentation.
What is the minimum DC current gain (hFE) of the MPS6560G at 500 mA collector current?
The MPS6560G guarantees hFE ≥ 50 at IC = 500 mA, VCE = 1.0 V, and TA = 25°C. This minimum gain is specified in the Electrical Characteristics table and ensures predictable biasing in high-current output stages.
Can the MPS6560G be used in switching applications?
Yes, the MPS6560G supports switching operation with VCE(sat) ≤ 0.5 V at IC = 500 mA and IB = 50 mA. Its 625 mW power dissipation limit and TO-92 thermal resistance require attention to duty cycle and PCB copper area to avoid junction overheating.
