MPS3563G Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The MPS3563G is a small-signal NPN bipolar junction transistor (BJT) manufactured by onsemi, housed in a TO-92 (TO-226) through-hole package. This device is rated for 12 V collector-emitter breakdown voltage, 50 mA maximum collector current, and 350 mW maximum power dissipation, with a transition frequency of 600 MHz. The MPS3563G is classified as obsolete product status. Due to its obsolete designation, equivalent substitute parts with active product status are available to ensure continued design support and supply chain reliability.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

MPS3563RLRAG is the primary substitute for the obsolete MPS3563G. This part maintains full electrical and mechanical equivalence while offering active product status. MPS3563RLRAG carries ROHS3 compliance certification, making it suitable for applications subject to RoHS3 regulatory requirements. The REACH status is vendor-undefined, requiring clarification from the supplier for applications with specific REACH compliance mandates.

MPS3563RLRA is an alternative substitute with identical electrical and mechanical specifications and active product status. However, this part is RoHS non-compliant and REACH-affected, making it suitable only for applications without RoHS or REACH compliance requirements.

Both substitute parts are manufactured by onsemi and share the MPS356 base product number series with the original MPS3563G. Selection between MPS3563RLRAG and MPS3563RLRA depends on regulatory compliance requirements specific to the end application and target market.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can MPS3563RLRA or MPS3563RLRAG be used as direct replacements for MPS3563G in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both substitute parts are parametrically equivalent to MPS3563G across all electrical specifications (voltage, current, gain, frequency, power) and mechanical characteristics (TO-92 package, through-hole mounting). Direct substitution is electrically and mechanically compatible.

Q: What is the difference between MPS3563RLRA and MPS3563RLRAG?

A: The primary difference is regulatory compliance status. MPS3563RLRAG is ROHS3 compliant, while MPS3563RLRA is RoHS non-compliant. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical. Selection depends on whether the application requires RoHS3 certification.

Q: Why is MPS3563G classified as obsolete?

A: The MPS3563G is designated as obsolete by onsemi. The substitute parts MPS3563RLRA and MPS3563RLRAG maintain active product status and provide continued design support and supply chain availability.

Q: Are there any package or pinout differences between these parts?

A: No. All three parts use the identical TO-92 (TO-226) through-hole package with TO-226-3 and TO-92-3 Long Body configurations. Pinout and mechanical dimensions are identical, enabling direct board-level substitution without layout modifications.

Q: What are the key electrical parameters that define substitution eligibility?

A: Substitution is based on matching the following parameters: NPN transistor type, 12 V collector-emitter breakdown voltage, 50 mA maximum collector current, 10 nA collector cutoff current, 20 minimum DC current gain at specified conditions, 350 mW maximum power dissipation, 600 MHz transition frequency, and -55°C to 150°C operating temperature range.

Q: Which substitute part should be selected for new designs?

A: MPS3563RLRAG is recommended for new designs requiring RoHS3 compliance. MPS3563RLRA is suitable for applications without RoHS compliance mandates. Both parts offer active product status and equivalent performance to MPS3563G.
