Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution is determined strictly by matching electrical and mechanical parameters relevant to the BJT category. The following characteristics are used for compatibility assessment: transistor type (NPN), maximum collector current (Ic), maximum collector-emitter voltage (Vce), collector cutoff current (ICBO), saturation voltage (Vce(sat)), DC current gain (hFE) at defined test conditions, maximum power dissipation, transition frequency (fT), operating temperature range, package/case specification, and mounting type. Only substitute components meeting these exact provided values are considered.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The main part number MPSA06,412 from NXP USA Inc. is designated obsolete. Its substitute, MPSA06 from Fairchild Semiconductor, is listed as active. Substitution is appropriate when the product status of the original part is obsolete and the proposed substitute is active, provided comparable compliance (such as RoHS) and certifications are maintained. Both parts feature matching electrical and package parameters within the category specification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What are the key electrical parameters required for substituting a BJT transistor?
A1: Key electrical parameters include transistor type (NPN), maximum collector current (Ic), maximum collector-emitter voltage (Vce), saturation voltage (Vce(sat)), DC current gain (hFE) at specific test conditions, current collector cutoff (ICBO), power dissipation, and transition frequency (fT).

Q2: Do different manufacturers' MPSA06 parts match in electrical performance?
A2: Provided parameters show matching electrical characteristics, including collector current, breakdown voltage, current gain, frequency, and saturation voltage.

Q3: Is package compatibility assured between the main part and substitute?
A3: Both parts are supplied in TO-226-3, TO-92-3 (TO-226AA) through-hole packages, maintaining compatibility in physical mounting and footprint.

Q4: What compliance considerations must be observed for substitution?
A4: RoHS and REACH compliance and MSL rating are referenced for the main part; substitute compliance should align as indicated by the manufacturer's certifications.

Q5: Why is substitution necessary for the MPSA06,412?
A5: Substitution is necessary due to the obsolete status of the MPSA06,412 part. An active equivalent is required to maintain continuity in production or service.
