Product details
Overview
MPS6652RLRA from onsemi is a PNP bipolar junction transistor (BJT) designed for general-purpose amplification and switching in low-to-medium power circuits, with VCEO = 40 V, IC = 1000 mA, hFE ≥ 30 at IC = 1000 mA, VCE(sat) ≤ 0.6 V, and fT = 100 MHz - used in DC-DC converter bias networks, relay drivers, and discrete logic-level translation stages.
For engineers reviewing the MPS6652RLRA datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, TO-92 package mapping, real-world use cases, and two validated alternative transistors - all grounded in the official ON Semiconductor MPS66xy family datasheet Rev. 4 (June 2006).
Technical Context
This PNP transistor operates with negative voltage polarity conventions: collector-emitter and collector-base voltages are rated at −40 V and −30 V respectively, emitter-base breakdown is −4.0 V, and saturation occurs under reverse-biased conditions typical of PNP switching topologies. Its 100 MHz fT supports medium-speed digital switching and audio-frequency amplification up to ~10 MHz small-signal gain bandwidth.
Thermal design is constrained by RJA = 200°C/W (PCB-mounted) and RJC = 83.3°C/W, with maximum power dissipation of 1.5 W at TC = 25°C - requiring heatsinking or current derating above ambient. The device exhibits defined safe operating area (SOA) limits for second breakdown, current, and thermal boundaries per Figure 18.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCEO | −40 V - Maximum reverse-biased collector-emitter voltage before breakdown; defines upper rail limit in high-side switch or amplifier stage. |
| IC | 1000 mA - Continuous collector current rating; supports load switching up to ~1 A with appropriate base drive and thermal margin. |
| hFE | ≥30 at IC = 1000 mA - Minimum DC current gain at full rated current; determines required base drive current (e.g., ≥33 mA for 1 A output). |
| VCE(sat) | ≤0.6 V at IC = 1000 mA, IB = 100 mA - Low saturation voltage minimizes conduction loss in switching applications. |
| fT | 100 MHz - Unity-gain frequency; enables stable operation in broadband amplifiers and fast-switching circuits up to ~10 MHz. |
| RJA | 200°C/W - Junction-to-ambient thermal resistance on standard PCB; dictates minimum copper area or heatsink for 1.5 W power handling. |
Pinout & Package
Package: TO-92 (Case 29-11, Style 1), 3-lead through-hole plastic package with standardized lead spacing and mechanical dimensions per datasheet page 8. Marking includes "MPS6652" followed by assembly code.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Emitter | Current source terminal in PNP configuration; connects to higher potential rail in high-side switch or amplifier bias network. |
| 2 | Base | Control input; requires negative-going signal relative to emitter to turn on; base resistor sizing must ensure IB ≥ IC/hFE(min). |
| 3 | Collector | Current sink terminal; ties to load or lower-potential node; reverse voltage rating governs maximum swing capability. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Pb-Free packaging option | Available as MPS6652RLRAG; compliant with RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU without lead content in finish or die attach. |
| High VCEO rating | −40 V enables use in 24 V industrial control rails and automotive 12 V systems with transient margin. |
| Low VCE(sat) | ≤0.6 V reduces power loss to ≤600 mW at 1 A, improving efficiency in linear regulators and driver stages. |
| 100 MHz fT | Supports clean square-wave switching with <30 ns rise/fall times and minimal overshoot in gate/base drive circuits. |
Applications
| Industrial Relay Driver | DC-DC Converter Bias Network |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Driving 24 V, 500 mA electromagnetic relay coils in PLC I/O modules. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: PNP switch controlling coil current path from +24 V rail to ground via collector-emitter path. Use Value: VCEO = −40 V provides 6 V headroom against 24 V transients; VCE(sat) ≤ 0.6 V limits coil voltage drop to ≥23.4 V for reliable pull-in. |
Use Scenario: Providing regulated bias current to error amplifier and reference circuitry in isolated flyback controllers. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Linear current source/sink in feedback loop compensation network and bandgap bias generation. Use Value: hFE ≥ 30 ensures stable 1–5 mA bias current with <10% variation across temperature; fT = 100 MHz avoids phase lag in loop compensation. |
| Discrete Logic-Level Translator | Audio Preamp Stage |
|
Use Scenario: Converting 3.3 V CMOS logic outputs to 5 V or 12 V open-collector compatible signals for legacy peripherals. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Active-low level shifter using emitter-follower or common-emitter inversion topology. Use Value: Fast switching (tr/tf ≤ 30/50 ns) preserves signal integrity up to 5 MHz; low Cobo = 30 pF minimizes capacitive loading on driving gate. |
Use Scenario: First-stage preamplifier in battery-powered portable audio devices with single-supply operation. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Common-emitter voltage amplifier with emitter degeneration for linearity and gain stability. Use Value: fT = 100 MHz supports flat gain response to 20 kHz with <0.1 dB ripple; low noise figure (<4 dB at 1 kHz) preserves SNR in mic-input paths. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar PNP general-purpose transistor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MMBT6520LT1G | Lower VCEO (−25 V), smaller SOT-23 package, hFE ≥ 100 at 10 mA but only ≥10 at 500 mA. | Better suited for low-current logic interface; unsuitable for 1 A loads or 24 V rail switching. | Select when board space is critical and load current stays below 300 mA. |
| PN2907A | Same TO-92 package, VCEO = −60 V, but lower fT (≈60 MHz) and higher VCE(sat) (≤1.0 V at 500 mA). | Higher voltage margin but slower switching and greater conduction loss at full current. | Choose for enhanced overvoltage protection where speed and efficiency are secondary. |
Compared with MPS6652RLRA, MMBT6520LT1G trades current capability and voltage rating for miniaturization, while PN2907A prioritizes ruggedness over switching performance - making MPS6652RLRA the balanced choice for 1 A, 40 V, medium-speed PNP switching where thermal and gain consistency matter.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous collector current for MPS6652RLRA?
The MPS6652RLRA supports a maximum continuous collector current (IC) of 1000 mA at TA = 25°C. Derating is required above ambient temperature per the 5.0 mW/°C specification for ambient-based dissipation, and thermal design must respect the 1.5 W limit at case temperature (TC = 25°C) with 12 mW/°C derating.
Is MPS6652RLRA a Pb-free part?
MPS6652RLRA is the standard leaded version; however, its Pb-free counterpart is MPS6652RLRAG, explicitly listed in the ordering table. Both share identical electrical specifications and TO-92 packaging - only the termination plating differs to meet RoHS compliance requirements.
What is the pin configuration of MPS6652RLRA in TO-92 package?
When viewing the flat side of the TO-92 package with leads pointing downward, the pinout is: Pin 1 = Emitter, Pin 2 = Base, Pin 3 = Collector - confirmed in the marking diagram and package dimensions section (page 8) of the official datasheet.
Can MPS6652RLRA replace MPS6651 in a circuit?
MPS6652RLRA offers higher VCEO (−40 V vs. −25 V) and VCBO (−30 V vs. −25 V) than MPS6651, making it a functional upgrade in circuits exposed to >25 V transients. However, hFE is lower at high current (≥30 vs. ≥50 at 1000 mA), so base drive must be verified for saturation margin in the target design.
What is the typical transition frequency (fT) of MPS6652RLRA?
The MPS6652RLRA has a specified minimum fT of 100 MHz at IC = 50 mA, VCE = −10 V, and f = 100 MHz - confirmed in the "SMALL-SIGNAL CHARACTERISTICS" table. This enables use in RF front-end stages up to ~10 MHz and fast digital switching with sub-50 ns timing.
