Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the MPS6513_D26Z is determined by the following critical electrical and mechanical parameters:

Electrical Compatibility Criteria:

• Transistor type must be NPN
• Maximum collector current (Ic) must be equal to or greater than 200 mA
• Collector-emitter breakdown voltage (VCEO) must be equal to or greater than 30 V
• DC current gain (hFE) must meet or exceed the specified minimum of 90
• Saturation voltage (Vce(sat)) must be compatible with circuit requirements
• Collector cutoff current (ICBO) must not exceed 50 nA
• Maximum power dissipation must support 625 mW or greater

Mechanical Compatibility Criteria:

• Mounting type must be Through Hole
• Package must be TO-92-3 or equivalent TO-226 variant with compatible lead configuration
• Moisture sensitivity level must be MSL 1 or lower

Compliance Criteria:

• ECCN classification must be EAR99 or equivalent
• REACH status must be compliant or unaffected

The substitute part 500-00001 meets all electrical and mechanical compatibility requirements for direct substitution in applications designed for the MPS6513_D26Z.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 500-00001 manufactured by Parallax Inc. is a qualified substitute for the obsolete MPS6513_D26Z. The substitute part maintains electrical equivalence across all critical parameters while providing enhanced performance margins in several areas.

Substitution Basis:

The 500-00001 meets or exceeds all mandatory electrical specifications: collector current (200 mA), collector-emitter breakdown voltage (40 V vs. 30 V requirement), saturation voltage (300 mV vs. 500 mV), and DC current gain (100 vs. 90 minimum). The substitute's higher power rating (1.5 W vs. 625 mW) and improved saturation characteristics provide additional design margin.

Mechanical compatibility is confirmed through identical Through Hole mounting type and compatible TO-92/TO-226 package configuration with formed leads. Both devices operate across the identical temperature range (-55°C to 150°C).

Compliance Status:

The 500-00001 carries Active product status, ensuring ongoing availability and supply chain support. Both parts share EAR99 ECCN classification, confirming equivalent export compliance. The substitute part's REACH compliance status supports regulatory requirements for new designs and legacy system updates.

The 500-00001 is suitable for direct substitution in all applications originally designed for the MPS6513_D26Z without circuit modification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 500-00001 be used as a direct replacement for the MPS6513_D26Z without circuit changes?

A: Yes. The 500-00001 meets all electrical and mechanical compatibility requirements. The substitute's higher breakdown voltage (40 V vs. 30 V), lower saturation voltage (300 mV vs. 500 mV), and greater power rating (1.5 W vs. 625 mW) provide enhanced performance margins. No circuit modifications are required.

Q: Are the packages physically compatible?

A: Yes. Both devices use Through Hole mounting in TO-92/TO-226 package variants with formed leads. The pin configurations are compatible for direct PCB substitution.

Q: What is the difference in DC current gain between these parts?

A: The MPS6513_D26Z specifies a minimum hFE of 90 @ 2mA, 10V. The 500-00001 specifies a minimum hFE of 100 @ 10mA, 1V. Both devices meet or exceed typical circuit requirements for NPN BJT applications. The test conditions differ, but both parts provide adequate current gain for general-purpose switching and amplification.

Q: Why is the MPS6513_D26Z classified as obsolete?

A: Obsolete status indicates the manufacturer has discontinued production. The 500-00001 is classified as Active, ensuring continued availability and supply chain support for new designs and legacy system maintenance.

Q: Are there any compliance or regulatory differences?

A: Both parts carry EAR99 ECCN classification and equivalent export compliance status. The 500-00001's Active product status supports REACH compliance for current regulatory requirements.

Q: What is the frequency-transition specification difference?

A: The MPS6513_D26Z does not specify a transition frequency. The 500-00001 specifies 300 MHz transition frequency, indicating superior high-frequency performance. This enhancement does not affect compatibility in DC or low-frequency switching applications.
