Product details
Overview
MPSW56RLRPG from onsemi is a PNP silicon small-signal transistor in TO-92 package, rated for −80 VCEO, −500 mA continuous collector current, and 1.0 W dissipation at TA = 25°C. It delivers hFE ≥ 50 at IC = −250 mA and VCE = −1.0 V, with fT = 50 MHz, and is used in low-power linear amplification and switching circuits in industrial control interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the MPSW56RLRPG datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include its −80 VCEO rating, TO-92 Pb-free packaging, DC current gain under high-current bias, thermal resistance (RJA = 125 °C/W), and safe operating area limits for pulsed operation.
Technical Context
This PNP bipolar junction transistor operates in active, saturation, and cutoff regions with defined breakdown voltages (V(BR)CEO = −80 V, V(BR)EBO = −4.0 V) and controlled leakage (ICBO ≤ −0.1 A). Its fT = 50 MHz and Cobo = 15 pF support mid-frequency amplification up to ~20 MHz under specified bias conditions.
The device uses standard TO-92 mechanical construction (Case 29-10, Style 17) with emitter-base-collector pinout and is characterized across −55°C to +150°C junction temperature range. Thermal derating is 8.0 mW/°C above 25°C at ambient and 20 mW/°C above 25°C at case.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCEO | −80 Vdc - Maximum collector-emitter voltage before breakdown under open-base condition |
| IC (continuous) | −500 mAdc - Continuous collector current limit defining linear/saturation region usability |
| PD @ TA = 25°C | 1.0 W - Power dissipation limit at ambient; requires heatsinking or derating above 25°C |
| hFE | ≥50 @ IC = −250 mAdc, VCE = −1.0 V - Minimum DC current gain for reliable current-controlled switching |
| fT | 50 MHz - Transition frequency indicating usable bandwidth for small-signal amplification |
| RJA | 125 °C/W - Junction-to-ambient thermal resistance; determines required PCB copper area or airflow |
| VCE(sat) | ≤ −0.5 Vdc @ IC = −250 mAdc, IB = −10 mAdc - Saturation voltage defining conduction loss in switch mode |
Pinout & Package
Package: TO-92 (Case 29-10, Style 17), Pb-free, through-hole, 3-pin plastic package with bent leads.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Emitter | Current exit terminal in PNP configuration; connects to most positive supply rail in common-emitter switch layouts |
| 2 | Base | Control input; requires negative base current relative to emitter to turn on device |
| 3 | Collector | Current entry terminal; typically tied to load and ground-return path in low-side switch configurations |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| High VCEO rating | −80 V enables use in 48 V industrial bus interfaces and relay drivers without external clamping |
| 1.0 W power capability | Supports continuous linear amplification of signals up to ~100 mW output with adequate heatsinking |
| 50 MHz fT | Permits stable small-signal gain up to 20 MHz in Class-A amplifier stages with proper biasing |
| Pb-free TO-92 package | Complies with RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU; compatible with standard wave soldering profiles |
| Wide TJ range | −55°C to +150°C operation supports deployment in uncontrolled-temperature industrial enclosures |
Applications
| Industrial Relay Driver | Low-Voltage Linear Amplifier |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Driving 24–48 VDC electromagnetic relays in PLC I/O modules where microcontroller GPIO cannot source sufficient current. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: PNP switch configured in common-emitter topology, sinking relay coil current to ground when base is pulled low. Use Value: −80 VCEO withstands inductive kickback; VCE(sat) ≤ −0.5 V ensures <500 mW dissipation at 500 mA coil current. | Use Scenario: Amplifying sensor-level analog signals (e.g., thermistor bridge outputs) prior to ADC sampling in embedded monitoring systems. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Single-stage Class-A common-emitter amplifier with fixed bias network and emitter degeneration resistor. Use Value: hFE ≥ 50 at −250 mA ensures predictable gain stability; fT = 50 MHz allows flat response up to 10 kHz with minimal phase shift. |
| Discrete Logic Level Shifter | Overvoltage Protection Switch |
Use Scenario: Translating 3.3 V logic outputs to interface with 5–12 V legacy peripherals in mixed-voltage industrial gateways. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Saturated PNP switch acting as active-low level translator with pull-up on collector side. Use Value: Fast turn-off due to low Cobo (15 pF) and guaranteed hFE enable sub-100 ns propagation delay in edge-triggered paths. | Use Scenario: Clamping transient overvoltage on 24 V supply rails using emitter-follower configuration with Zener reference. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: PNP-based crowbar element activated when rail exceeds safe threshold, diverting fault current to ground. Use Value: −80 VCEO and −80 VCB0 allow direct connection to 48 V systems; RJA = 125 °C/W supports short-duration surge handling without thermal runaway. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar PNP transistor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MPSW56RLRA | Same die, but in tape-and-reel (not ammo pack); Pb-free marking differs (no "G" suffix) | Identical electrical specs; preferred for automated SMT placement with straight-lead variant | Select MPSW56RLRA only when using pick-and-place equipment requiring tape-and-reel delivery |
| BC807-40-7-F | Lower VCEO (−45 V), higher hFE (min 250), SOT-23 package, 350 mW PD | Suitable for low-voltage digital switching only; not rated for 48 V relay drive or linear amplification above 100 mW | Choose BC807-40-7-F only for space-constrained 3.3/5 V logic interfaces where −80 V rating is unnecessary |
Compared with MPSW56RLRA and BC807-40-7-F, the MPSW56RLRPG provides unique combination of −80 V rating, 1.0 W power handling, and TO-92 through-hole compatibility-making it irreplaceable for ruggedized 24–48 V industrial switching where board-level reliability and manual assembly are prioritized.

FAQ
What is the maximum collector-emitter voltage rating for MPSW56RLRPG?
The MPSW56RLRPG has a guaranteed minimum collector-emitter breakdown voltage V(BR)CEO of −80 Vdc at IC = −1.0 mAdc and IB = 0. This rating is confirmed in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table and Electrical Characteristics section of the official onsemi datasheet (document number MPSW55/D, Rev. 4). The MPSW56RLRPG must not be operated beyond this voltage to avoid permanent damage.
Is MPSW56RLRPG pin-compatible with MPSW55RLRPG?
Yes, MPSW56RLRPG and MPSW55RLRPG share identical TO-92 package (Style 17), pinout (Emitter-Base-Collector on pins 1-2-3), and mechanical footprint. However, they differ electrically: MPSW55RLRPG is rated for −60 VCEO, while MPSW56RLRPG is rated for −80 VCEO. Substitution requires verification that the higher voltage rating is needed-and that the lower hFE of MPSW56RLRPG (≥50 vs. ≥100 for MPSW55) meets circuit gain requirements.
What is the thermal resistance junction-to-ambient (RJA) for MPSW56RLRPG?
The thermal resistance junction-to-ambient (RJA) for MPSW56RLRPG is 125 °C/W, measured under standard JEDEC test conditions on FR-4 PCB with no added copper pour. This value appears in the Thermal Characteristics table of the onsemi datasheet and defines the temperature rise per watt of dissipated power when mounted on typical single-layer board layouts.
Does MPSW56RLRPG support operation at −55°C?
Yes, MPSW56RLRPG is fully specified for operation from −55°C to +150°C junction temperature, as stated in the Operating and Storage Junction Temperature Range specification. All electrical characteristics-including hFE, VCE(sat), and leakage currents-are guaranteed across this full range, making the MPSW56RLRPG suitable for outdoor industrial and transportation environments.
What does the "G" suffix in MPSW56RLRPG indicate?
The "G" suffix in MPSW56RLRPG denotes Pb-free (RoHS-compliant) packaging, consistent with onsemi's marking convention. It confirms the device uses lead-free terminations and halogen-free molding compound, and is documented in the Ordering Information section of the MPSW55/D datasheet. The "G" does not indicate tape-and-reel packaging-that is denoted by "RLRA" (vs. "RLRP" for ammo pack).
