Product details

Overview

MPSW06RLRAG from onsemi is an NPN silicon general-purpose amplifier transistor in a Pb-free TO-92 package, rated for 80 V_CEO, 500 mA continuous collector current, and 1.0 W dissipation at T_A = 25°C. It delivers DC current gain (h_FE) ≥60 at I_C = 250 mA, V_CE = 1.0 V, and supports audio preamplifier, switching, and low-power linear amplification applications.

For engineers reviewing the MPSW06RLRAG datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include V_CEO rating, thermal resistance (R_JA = 125 °C/W), saturation voltage (V_CE(sat) ≤ 0.4 V), f_T = 50 MHz, and Pb-free TO-92 compliance for industrial and consumer-grade PCB assembly.

Technical Context

The MPSW06RLRAG operates as a single NPN bipolar junction transistor optimized for medium-voltage, medium-current amplification and switching. Its design targets stable h_FE across −55°C to +150°C junction temperature range and supports safe operating area (SOA) up to 500 mA with thermal derating of 8.0 mW/°C above 25°C ambient.

It features low output capacitance (C_obo ≤ 12 pF at V_CB = 10 V), fast small-signal response (f_T = 50 MHz), and defined saturation characteristics: V_CE(sat) ≤ 0.4 V at I_C = 250 mA/I_B = 10 mA and V_BE(sat) ≤ 1.2 V at same conditions - enabling reliable use in Class-A and Class-B amplifier stages.

Key Specifications

Parameter	Value and Actual Design Meaning
V_CEO	80 Vdc - supports operation in 48 V rail systems and automotive battery-supplied circuits without breakdown risk.
I_C (continuous)	500 mAdc - enables drive capability for relays, LEDs, and small solenoids in discrete control stages.
P_D @ T_A = 25°C	1.0 W - defines maximum power handling in free-air mounting; requires heatsinking or airflow above ~70°C ambient.
h_FE	≥60 at I_C = 250 mAdc, V_CE = 1.0 V - ensures predictable current amplification in bias-stable amplifier designs.
f_T	50 MHz - supports audio bandwidth extension beyond 20 kHz and basic RF front-end buffering up to ~10 MHz.
R_JA	125 °C/W - determines thermal rise under load; e.g., 1.0 W dissipation yields +125°C rise above ambient without heatsink.

Pinout & Package

Package: TO-92 (Case 29-10), Pb-free, straight-lead configuration. Standard 3-pin through-hole plastic package with 1.0 W power rating and industry-standard footprint.

Pin/Terminal	Circuit Role	Design Meaning
1	Emitter	Current sink terminal; connects to ground or low-side reference; base-emitter junction forward-biased during conduction.
2	Base	Control input; requires current-limited drive (e.g., via resistor) to achieve target I_C; V_BE(sat) ≤ 1.2 V at rated I_C.
3	Collector	Current source terminal; connects to load and positive supply; withstands up to 80 V reverse bias when off.

Key Features

Feature	Design Value
High V_CEO rating	80 V enables use in 48 V telecom, industrial control, and automotive auxiliary circuits without cascading protection.
Low V_CE(sat)	≤0.4 V at I_C/I_B = 25:1 minimizes conduction loss and self-heating in switching applications.
Stable h_FE over temperature	Specified min h_FE maintained from −55°C to +150°C, supporting robust bias design in wide-temperature environments.
Pb-free TO-92 packaging	RoHS-compliant construction with 2000-unit tape-and-reel delivery, compatible with standard wave and reflow soldering profiles.

Equivalent & Alternatives

The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar NPN amplifier transistor applications.

Alternative Part	Technical Difference	Application Difference	Selection Advice
BC547B	V_CEO = 45 V, I_C = 100 mA, h_FE = 200–450 - lower voltage/current rating, higher gain variability.	Suitable only for sub-30 V, <100 mA signal amplification; not recommended for motor or power switching.	Select BC547B only for low-power, high-gain small-signal stages where voltage margin is not critical.
MPSA06	V_CEO = 80 V, I_C = 500 mA, same TO-92 package - identical max ratings but different h_FE binning (min 100 vs. MPSW06's min 60).	Higher h_FE enables lower base drive current; otherwise functionally interchangeable in most amplifier and switch roles.	MPSA06 offers tighter gain consistency; choose MPSW06RLRAG when cost sensitivity or legacy design compatibility is prioritized.

Compared with BC547B and MPSA06, the MPSW06RLRAG provides balanced trade-offs: sufficient V_CEO and I_C for industrial switching, predictable minimum h_FE for stable biasing, and Pb-free TO-92 compliance - making it optimal for cost-conscious, thermally constrained, and RoHS-mandated designs.

FAQ

What is the maximum collector-emitter voltage rating for MPSW06RLRAG?

The MPSW06RLRAG has a guaranteed minimum V_CEO rating of 80 Vdc at I_C = 1.0 mAdc and I_B = 0. This rating allows safe operation in 48 V nominal systems and protects against transient overvoltage events common in industrial and automotive environments. Exceeding this voltage risks permanent junction breakdown.

Is MPSW06RLRAG RoHS-compliant and what does the 'G' suffix indicate?

Yes, MPSW06RLRAG is RoHS-compliant and Pb-free. The 'G' in the part number explicitly denotes the Pb-free variant per onsemi's marking convention. It ships in tape-and-reel packaging (2000 units per reel) and meets JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 1 requirements for standard SMT/reflow processing.

What is the typical DC current gain (h_FE) of MPSW06RLRAG at 250 mA collector current?

The MPSW06RLRAG guarantees h_FE ≥60 at I_C = 250 mAdc, V_CE = 1.0 Vdc, and T_A = 25°C. Actual measured values typically range from 60 to 120 depending on unit-to-unit variation and operating temperature - sufficient for stable biasing in Class-A amplifiers and saturated switches.

Can MPSW06RLRAG be used in switching applications, and what is its V_CE(sat)?

Yes, MPSW06RLRAG is qualified for switching use. Its V_CE(sat) is specified ≤0.4 Vdc at I_C = 250 mAdc and I_B = 10 mAdc. This low saturation voltage reduces conduction losses and self-heating, making it suitable for driving relays, small solenoids, and LED arrays in pulsed or PWM-controlled circuits.

What is the thermal resistance from junction to ambient (R_JA) for MPSW06RLRAG in free air?

The MPSW06RLRAG has a maximum R_JA of 125 °C/W when mounted on a standard FR-4 PCB with no heatsink and minimal copper area. This means a 1.0 W power dissipation will raise the junction temperature by up to 125°C above ambient - necessitating derating or heatsinking for sustained operation above ~50°C ambient temperature.
