Product details
Overview
MPS751G from onsemi is a PNP bipolar junction transistor (BJT) designed for general-purpose amplification and switching in low-to-medium power linear and digital circuits. It features VCEO = 60 V, IC = 2.0 A continuous, hFE ≥ 75 at IC = 50 mA, VCE(sat) ≤ 0.5 V at IC = 2.0 A / IB = 200 mA, and TO-92 package - commonly used in relay drivers, power supply control, and discrete logic interface stages.
For engineers reviewing the MPS751G datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include its PNP polarity, 60 V VCEO, 2.0 A collector current capability, saturation voltage under high drive, and TO-92 thermal performance in ambient-constrained designs.
Technical Context
The MPS751G operates as a medium-power PNP BJT with fixed gain structure optimized for DC-coupled amplification and saturated-switching operation. Its VCB = 80 V and VEB = 5.0 V ratings support robust reverse-bias margin in emitter-follower or complementary pair configurations.
Thermal design is constrained by RθJA = 200°C/W (ambient) and RθJC = 83.3°C/W (case), requiring careful PCB copper area planning when operating near 1.5 W PD @ TC = 25°C. Safe Operating Area (SOA) curves confirm stable operation up to 2.0 A at VCE ≤ 1.0 V under pulsed conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCEO | 60 V - Maximum collector-emitter voltage before breakdown; enables use in 48 V rail switching and higher-voltage analog stages. |
| IC (cont.) | 2.0 A - Continuous collector current rating; supports relay coils, LED arrays, and small solenoid loads without forced cooling. |
| hFE | ≥75 @ IC = 50 mA - Sufficient DC gain for single-stage amplifier biasing and base-drive simplification in low-speed switches. |
| VCE(sat) | ≤0.5 V @ IC = 2.0 A / IB = 200 mA - Low saturation voltage minimizes conduction loss and self-heating during high-current switching. |
| fT | 75 MHz - Transition frequency suitable for audio-frequency amplification and sub-MHz digital signal switching, not RF. |
| PD @ TC | 1.5 W - Power dissipation limit at case temperature 25°C; requires heatsinking or derating above 25°C at 12 mW/°C. |
Pinout & Package
Package: TO-92 (Case 29-11), straight or bent lead, Pb-free, through-hole mounting. Dimensions per ANSI Y14.5M: body height ~5.2 mm, lead pitch 1.27 mm, max width 4.45 mm.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (Emitter) | Current source terminal for PNP device | Connected to higher potential (e.g., VCC) in common-emitter switch; sets reference for base bias network. |
| 2 (Base) | Control input for minority-carrier injection | Requires current-limited drive (typically 5–10% of IC) to ensure saturation; sensitive to ESD due to thin oxide layer. |
| 3 (Collector) | Current sink terminal | Connected to load and ground return path; carries full switched current; thermally coupled to package backside. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Pb-Free TO-92 package | Complies with RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU; compatible with standard SnPb and lead-free reflow profiles. |
| High VCB = 80 V | Enables safe operation in inductive load flyback scenarios where collector voltage spikes exceed supply rail. |
| Low VBE(sat) = 1.2 V | Reduces base drive power loss and eases compatibility with 3.3 V or 5 V microcontroller GPIO outputs. |
| Wide TJ range: −55°C to +150°C | Validated for automotive under-hood, industrial motor control, and outdoor power equipment environments. |
Applications
| Relay Driver Stage | Linear Voltage Regulator Pass Element |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Driving 12 V/500 mA electromagnetic relay coil from a microcontroller GPIO pin via base resistor. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: PNP switch configured in common-emitter mode, sinking relay coil current to ground when base is pulled low. Use Value: VCE(sat) ≤ 0.5 V ensures <0.25 W dissipation at full load, eliminating need for heatsink; hFE ≥ 75 allows 20 mA base drive to switch 2 A. | Use Scenario: Discrete pass transistor in adjustable 3-terminal linear regulator supplying 5 V/1.2 A to FPGA core rails. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Series pass element controlling output voltage via feedback loop; operates in active region with constant VCE ≈ 3–5 V. Use Value: 60 V VCEO headroom accommodates 24 V input; 2.0 A IC rating supports peak transient loads without dropout. |

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Saturated switch in common-emitter configuration; turned ON/OFF by PWM signal applied to base through current-limiting resistor. Use Value: 2.0 A IC rating exceeds motor stall current; VCE(sat) ≤ 0.5 V limits conduction loss to <0.75 W at full load. |
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| MMBT751LT1G | SOT-23 package (vs. TO-92); lower PD = 350 mW; IC = 1.0 A max; same VCEO = 60 V. | Surface-mount only; unsuitable for >1 A continuous loads or manual prototyping. | Select when board space is constrained and thermal load is ≤350 mW. |
| BC807-40 | SOT-23 package; VCEO = 45 V (lower); hFE = 250–630 (wider spread); IC = 500 mA. | Not suitable for 48 V systems or >500 mA loads; higher gain complicates bias stability. | Select only for low-voltage, low-current signal switching where gain linearity is critical. |
Compared with MMBT751LT1G and BC807-40, the MPS751G provides higher current handling (2.0 A), through-hole TO-92 mountability, and proven thermal robustness in ambient-constrained linear regulator and relay driver roles - making it preferred for prototyping, industrial controls, and legacy through-hole production.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous collector current rating for the MPS751G?
The MPS751G has a maximum continuous collector current (IC) rating of 2.0 A at TA = 25°C. This rating assumes adequate PCB copper area for heat dissipation; derating is required above 25°C ambient at 5.0 mW/°C. At case temperature TC = 25°C, the device supports up to 1.5 W total power dissipation, enabling sustained 2.0 A operation only with effective heatsinking or forced airflow. The MPS751G datasheet specifies this limit under defined thermal test conditions.
Is the MPS751G pin-compatible with the MPS750G?
Yes, the MPS751G is pin-compatible with the MPS750G - both are PNP transistors in TO-92 packages with identical pinout (Emitter-Base-Collector on pins 1-2-3). However, the MPS751G offers higher voltage ratings: VCEO = 60 V vs. 40 V for MPS750G, and VCB = 80 V vs. 60 V. Designers upgrading from MPS750G to MPS751G retain the same footprint but gain headroom for 48 V systems and improved flyback tolerance.
What is the typical DC current gain (hFE) of the MPS751G at 1.0 A collector current?
The MPS751G exhibits hFE ≥ 75 at IC = 50 mA and VCE = 2.0 V, but at IC = 1.0 A and VCE = 2.0 V, the minimum guaranteed hFE drops to 75 (per datasheet Table "ON CHARACTERISTICS"). This flat gain profile across 50 mA to 1.0 A supports predictable base drive sizing in high-current switching applications. Actual measured hFE may vary with temperature and individual unit dispersion.
Can the MPS751G be used in audio amplifier output stages?
Yes, the MPS751G is suitable for Class AB audio output stages when paired with its NPN counterpart MPS651G. Its fT = 75 MHz and hFE stability across collector current support bandwidth up to several hundred kHz. The TO-92 package's thermal resistance (RθJA = 200°C/W) requires conservative power handling - limiting practical use to ≤1 W output into 8 Ω loads without heatsinking. For higher fidelity, complementary SOA matching with MPS651G is essential.
Does the MPS751G have built-in ESD protection?
No, the MPS751G does not integrate ESD protection diodes. Its base-emitter junction is susceptible to electrostatic discharge damage, with VEB breakdown rated at only 5.0 V. During handling and PCB assembly, standard ESD precautions must be observed: grounded workstations, ionizers, and wrist straps. External protection (e.g., series base resistor + parallel Zener) is recommended in systems exposed to user-accessible connectors or long traces.
