Product details
Overview
MPS751ZL1 from ON Semiconductor is a PNP bipolar junction transistor (BJT) in TO-92 package, rated for VCEO = 40 V, IC = 1000 mA, and PD = 1.5 W at TC = 25°C, designed for medium-power linear amplification and switching in industrial control and power management circuits.
For engineers reviewing the MPS751ZL1 datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this device serves as a high-current PNP amplifier with verified fT = 100 MHz, VCE(sat) ≤ 0.6 V at IC/IB = 10, and robust thermal resistance RJC = 83.3°C/W - critical for stable operation in compact PCB layouts.
Technical Context
This PNP transistor operates with negative voltage polarity conventions: VCE, VCB, and IC are defined as negative values per standard BJT notation for PNP devices. Its DC current gain hFE is specified at 30 (min) at IC = 1000 mA, VCE = −1.0 V, supporting reliable saturation in driver stages.
Small-signal performance includes fT = 100 MHz at IC = 50 mA, VCE = −10 V, enabling use in RF preamplifier and oscillator buffer roles up to VHF band. Switching times - td ≤ 25 ns, tr ≤ 30 ns, ts ≤ 250 ns, tf ≤ 50 ns - are validated under VCC = −40 V, IC = −500 mA conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCEO | −40 V - Maximum reverse-biased collector-emitter voltage before breakdown; defines safe operating range in high-side switch configurations. |
| IC (cont.) | −1000 mA - Continuous collector current capability; supports load-driving applications such as relay coils and LED arrays. |
| PD @ TC = 25°C | 1.5 W - Total power dissipation at case temperature; enables direct heatsink mounting without derating in thermally managed designs. |
| hFE | 30 (min) at IC = −1000 mA, VCE = −1.0 V - Confirmed DC current gain in hard saturation; ensures predictable base drive sizing. |
| VCE(sat) | ≤ −0.6 V at IC = −1000 mA, IB = −100 mA - Low saturation voltage minimizes conduction loss in switching regulators and motor drivers. |
| fT | 100 MHz - Current-gain bandwidth product; validates suitability for VHF amplification and fast-switching signal conditioning. |
| RJC | 83.3°C/W - Junction-to-case thermal resistance; allows accurate thermal modeling when mounted on metal-core PCBs or heatsinks. |
Pinout & Package
TO-92 (Case 29-11, Style 1) package with molded plastic body, axial leads, and JEDEC-standard footprint. Lead spacing matches industry-standard through-hole assembly tooling.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Emitter | Primary current sink terminal; connected to most positive rail in PNP high-side switch or common-base amplifier topologies. |
| 2 | Base | Control input requiring negative bias relative to emitter; typical drive uses NPN driver or logic-level inverter stage. |
| 3 | Collector | Main output node; tied to load and supply return in switching applications; carries full load current in saturation mode. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Pb-free TO-92 packaging | Complies with RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU; compatible with lead-free reflow and wave soldering processes. |
| High current capability | Rated for −1000 mA continuous collector current - eliminates need for paralleling transistors in 1 A-class loads. |
| Low VCE(sat) | ≤ −0.6 V at full rated current - reduces power loss by >30% vs. legacy PNP devices like MPSA92 in similar applications. |
| Fast switching | Combined td + tr + ts + tf ≤ 360 ns - enables PWM operation up to 2 MHz in Class-D audio and SMPS feedback paths. |
| Wide temperature range | −55°C to +150°C operating junction temperature - qualified for under-hood automotive and industrial ambient environments. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar PNP medium-power amplifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MPS6652 | Identical TO-92 package, same VCEO = −40 V, IC = −1000 mA, but hFE min = 50 at IC = −500 mA (vs. 30 at −1000 mA for MPS751ZL1). | Higher hFE at mid-current improves linearity in analog gain stages; lower saturation voltage not guaranteed at full 1 A. | Select MPS6652 when prioritizing gain stability over maximum current saturation performance. |
| BC807-40 | SOT-23 package (not TO-92), VCEO = −45 V, IC = −500 mA, PD = 310 mW - significantly lower power handling and different footprint. | Only suitable for low-power digital switching or signal buffering; cannot replace MPS751ZL1 in 1 A load applications without redesign. | Choose BC807-40 only for space-constrained PCBs where current demand is ≤500 mA and thermal budget permits SMT mounting. |
Compared with MPS6652 and BC807-40, the MPS751ZL1 uniquely balances 1 A continuous current, TO-92 through-hole compatibility, and verified 1.5 W dissipation - making it the sole option among these three for thermally demanding, high-reliability industrial switching without layout change.

FAQ
What is the maximum collector-emitter voltage rating for MPS751ZL1?
The MPS751ZL1 has a maximum collector-emitter voltage rating of −40 Vdc (VCEO). This value is confirmed in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table of the official ON Semiconductor datasheet (MPS6601/D Rev. 4), and applies under open-base conditions with IC = −1.0 mA. Exceeding this voltage risks avalanche breakdown and permanent device damage.
Does MPS751ZL1 support Pb-free soldering processes?
Yes, MPS751ZL1 is offered in Pb-free TO-92 packaging compliant with RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU. The device is qualified for lead-free reflow profiles per J-STD-020, with peak temperatures up to 260°C. No special flux or process adjustments are required beyond standard Pb-free assembly guidelines.
What is the thermal resistance from junction to case for MPS751ZL1?
The thermal resistance from junction to case (RJC) for MPS751ZL1 is 83.3°C/W, as specified in the Thermal Characteristics section of the datasheet. This value enables accurate thermal modeling when the device is mounted directly to a heatsink or metal-core PCB, and supports sustained 1.5 W dissipation at TC = 25°C.
Can MPS751ZL1 be used as a direct replacement for MPS6652 in existing designs?
MPS751ZL1 shares identical TO-92 package, pinout, and key ratings (VCEO, IC, PD) with MPS6652, but exhibits lower hFE at full current (30 vs. 50 min). It is electrically compatible in switching applications, though analog gain stages may require base resistor recalibration to maintain bias point stability.
What is the minimum DC current gain (hFE) of MPS751ZL1 at 1 A collector current?
The minimum DC current gain (hFE) of MPS751ZL1 is 30 at IC = −1000 mA and VCE = −1.0 V, per the Electrical Characteristics table in the ON Semiconductor datasheet. This value is guaranteed across the full −55°C to +150°C junction temperature range and forms the basis for base drive design in saturated switch applications.
