MPQ6700 PBFREE Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The MPQ6700 PBFREE is a Bipolar (BJT) Transistor Array containing 2 NPN and 2 PNP transistors in a 14-DIP (0.300", 7.62mm) Through Hole package. This component is manufactured by Central Semiconductor Corp and is classified as obsolete. The device is rated for 40V collector-emitter breakdown voltage, 200mA maximum collector current, and 500mW power dissipation with a transition frequency of 200MHz.

Due to the obsolete product status of the MPQ6700 PBFREE, identification of equivalent substitute parts is necessary to maintain design continuity and ensure component availability for production and repair applications. Substitute parts must match the critical electrical and mechanical parameters to ensure functional compatibility.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The MPQ6700 manufactured by Motorola is a direct functional equivalent to the obsolete MPQ6700 PBFREE from Central Semiconductor Corp. Both parts share identical electrical specifications across all critical parameters including collector current, breakdown voltage, saturation characteristics, current gain, power rating, and frequency response. Both components utilize the same 14-DIP (0.300", 7.62mm) Through Hole package configuration and TO-116 supplier device package designation.

The primary distinction between these parts is product status and compliance certification. The Motorola MPQ6700 maintains Active product status with current manufacturing availability, whereas the Central Semiconductor version is classified as Obsolete. The Motorola variant is RoHS non-compliant, while the Central Semiconductor part requests inventory verification for RoHS status. Both parts carry identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8541.21.0075) classifications and share unlimited moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1).

For applications requiring component replacement or new production sourcing, the Motorola MPQ6700 provides electrical and mechanical compatibility with the obsolete Central Semiconductor MPQ6700 PBFREE.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
