Product details
Overview
MPSW06RLRA from onsemi is an NPN silicon bipolar junction transistor rated for 80 VCEO, 500 mA continuous collector current, and 1.0 W dissipation at TA = 25°C, designed for general-purpose low-power amplification and switching in consumer audio stages, signal buffering, and discrete logic interface circuits.
For engineers reviewing the MPSW06RLRA datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include VCEO margin, hFE stability across temperature, thermal resistance (RJA = 125°C/W), and TO-92 lead-form compatibility with manual or automated through-hole assembly.
Technical Context
The MPSW06RLRA operates as a single NPN BJT with fixed gain structure optimized for linear amplification and saturated switching. Its fT of 50 MHz supports audio-frequency and low-speed digital signal handling, while VCE(sat) ≤ 0.4 V at IC/IB = 25 ensures efficient on-state conduction in driver stages.
Thermal design relies on its TO-92 package's RJC = 50°C/W and RJA = 125°C/W ratings, requiring careful PCB copper area allocation for sustained 1 W operation. Cobo = 12 pF limits high-frequency parasitic coupling in RF-adjacent layouts.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCEO | 80 Vdc - Supports rail voltages up to 60 V in amplifier or switch applications with 20 V safety margin. |
| IC (continuous) | 500 mAdc - Enables direct drive of small relays, LEDs, or pre-driver stages without external current boosting. |
| PD @ TA = 25°C | 1.0 W - Requires ≥ 1.5 cm² of 1-oz copper pad for safe continuous operation at ambient temperature. |
| hFE | 60 min @ IC = 250 mAdc, VCE = 1.0 V - Ensures stable base drive requirements across production lots and temperature extremes. |
| fT | 50 MHz - Sufficient for audio amplification (≤20 kHz) and low-speed digital signal conditioning (e.g., TTL/CMOS level shifting). |
| Cobo | 12 pF max @ VCB = 10 V - Minimizes unintended capacitive feedback in high-gain common-emitter configurations. |
Pinout & Package
Package: TO-92 (Case 29-10), straight-lead, Pb-free, 2000 units per tape-and-reel reel.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Emitter | Reference node for biasing; connects to ground or low-impedance return path in common-emitter topology. |
| 2 | Base | Current-controlled input; requires series resistor to limit IB and ensure saturation or linear operation per hFE curve. |
| 3 | Collector | Output node; carries full load current and dissipates majority of power during switching transitions. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 80 VCEO rating | Enables use in 48 V industrial control interfaces and automotive accessory circuits without derating. |
| 1.0 W total dissipation @ TA = 25°C | Supports compact through-hole designs where surface-mount thermal management is impractical. |
| VCE(sat) ≤ 0.4 V @ IC = 250 mA | Reduces conduction loss to <100 mW in saturated switching, improving efficiency in relay drivers. |
| hFE ≥ 60 at 250 mA | Allows predictable base resistor calculation for consistent turn-on behavior across temperature (-55°C to +150°C). |
| RJA = 125°C/W | Defines minimum PCB thermal relief needed: ~1.5 cm² 1-oz copper reduces junction rise to ≤125°C at 1 W. |
Applications
| Audio Pre-amplifier Stage | LED Driver Switch |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Low-noise voltage amplification of line-level analog signals before ADC sampling in portable audio recorders. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: NPN BJT configured in common-emitter topology for 20–20 kHz signal gain with minimal distortion. Use Value: hFE stability over temperature and fT > 50 MHz ensure flat frequency response and low THD across operating range. |
Use Scenario: On/off control of 20 mA indicator LEDs in industrial HMI panels with 24 V supply rails. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Saturated switch providing low-loss current path between VCC and LED cathode. Use Value: VCE(sat) ≤ 0.4 V limits power loss to <8 mW per LED, eliminating need for heatsinking. |
| Logic Level Translator | Relay Coil Driver |
Use Scenario: Interfacing 3.3 V microcontroller GPIO to 5 V or 12 V peripheral logic inputs in embedded control systems. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Common-emitter inverter translating logic states with defined threshold and output swing. Use Value: VCEO = 80 V and hFE ≥ 60 ensure reliable switching even with supply transients up to 60 V. |
Use Scenario: Driving 12 V, 400 mW electromagnetic relay coils in HVAC control modules. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-current saturated switch delivering full coil current with fast turn-off via base discharge path. Use Value: IC = 500 mA rating exceeds typical relay hold current (≈330 mA), enabling robust margin against aging and voltage drop. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar NPN general-purpose transistor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BC547B | VCEO = 45 V, hFE = 200–450, PD = 500 mW - Lower voltage rating and power handling. | Suitable only for ≤30 V logic-level circuits; not recommended for 48 V industrial or relay driving. | Select BC547B only when lower gain variability and tighter hFE binning are required at reduced voltage stress. |
| 2N3904 | VCEO = 40 V, IC = 200 mA, fT = 300 MHz - Higher fT but insufficient voltage/current for MPSW06RLRA's target use cases. | Limited to low-power signal switching; cannot replace MPSW06RLRA in 24–48 V load-driving roles. | Choose 2N3904 for high-frequency small-signal amplification where speed outweighs voltage headroom. |
Compared with BC547B and 2N3904, the MPSW06RLRA provides higher VCEO, greater IC, and higher PD, making it uniquely suited for 24–48 V industrial interface and relay driver applications where reliability under sustained load is critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum collector-emitter voltage rating for the MPSW06RLRA?
The MPSW06RLRA has a guaranteed minimum VCEO rating of 80 Vdc at IC = 1.0 mAdc and IB = 0. This rating defines the absolute maximum voltage that can be applied between collector and emitter while keeping the device in cutoff, and must be respected with appropriate safety margin in circuit design.
Is the MPSW06RLRA RoHS-compliant and lead-free?
Yes, the MPSW06RLRA is a Pb-free device, as confirmed by its "RLRA" suffix and explicit marking in the onsemi datasheet. It meets RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU requirements and is compatible with standard lead-free reflow and hand-soldering processes.
What is the DC current gain (hFE) of the MPSW06RLRA under typical operating conditions?
The MPSW06RLRA guarantees hFE ≥ 60 when tested at IC = 250 mAdc and VCE = 1.0 Vdc at TA = 25°C. Gain varies with current and temperature, dropping to ~40 at IC = 500 mA and rising above 80 at IC = 50 mA, as shown in Figure 1 of the official datasheet.
Can the MPSW06RLRA be used in switching applications, and what is its saturation voltage?
Yes, the MPSW06RLRA is suitable for switching applications. Its VCE(sat) is specified at ≤ 0.4 Vdc when IC = 250 mAdc and IB = 10 mAdc, confirming strong saturation capability. This low saturation voltage minimizes power loss and self-heating during on-state operation.
What package type and lead configuration does the MPSW06RLRA use?
The MPSW06RLRA uses the TO-92 (Case 29-10) plastic package with straight leads, as indicated by the "RLRA" suffix. Pin 1 is Emitter, Pin 2 is Base, and Pin 3 is Collector - matching Style 2 in the onsemi mechanical outline documentation.
