Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the MPSA06_D74Z is determined by electrical and mechanical parameter equivalence. The following criteria establish valid substitutes:

Electrical Parameters (Must Match):

• Transistor Type: NPN
• Voltage - Collector Emitter Breakdown (Max): 80 V
• Current - Collector (Ic) (Max): 500 mA
• Vce Saturation (Max) @ Ib, Ic: 250 mV @ 10 mA, 100 mA
• Current - Collector Cutoff (Max): 100 nA
• DC Current Gain (hFE) (Min) @ Ic, Vce: 100 @ 100 mA, 1 V
• Power - Max: 625 mW
• Frequency - Transition: 100 MHz
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C to 150°C

Mechanical Parameters (Must Match):

• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Package / Case: TO-92-3 (TO-226AA)

All substitute parts listed below satisfy these electrical and mechanical requirements and are therefore functionally interchangeable with the MPSA06_D74Z in circuit applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

MPSA06RA (onsemi) is the primary substitute for the MPSA06_D74Z. This part maintains identical electrical specifications and mechanical packaging while offering active product status. The MPSA06RA is ROHS3 compliant and carries REACH unaffected status, supporting compliance requirements for new designs and procurement continuity.

MPSA06-AP (Micro Commercial Co) is an alternative substitute that meets all electrical and mechanical requirements. This part is ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected. However, the MPSA06-AP carries obsolete product status, similar to the MPSA06_D74Z. Selection of this part should be limited to applications requiring cross-manufacturer sourcing or where existing inventory must be utilized.

For new designs and long-term procurement planning, the MPSA06RA is the recommended substitute due to its active product status and assured availability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the MPSA06RA directly replace the MPSA06_D74Z in existing circuits?

A: Yes. The MPSA06RA is electrically and mechanically equivalent to the MPSA06_D74Z. All electrical parameters, including voltage rating, current rating, gain, and frequency response, are identical. Both devices use the TO-92-3 through-hole package with identical pin configuration.

Q: What is the difference between the MPSA06_D74Z and MPSA06RA packaging?

A: The MPSA06_D74Z is supplied in standard packaging, while the MPSA06RA is supplied in Cut Tape (CT) format. Both devices use the same TO-92-3 physical package. The packaging format affects only the delivery method and does not alter the component's electrical or mechanical characteristics.

Q: Why is the MPSA06_D74Z listed as obsolete?

A: The MPSA06_D74Z carries an obsolete product status as designated by the manufacturer. The MPSA06RA, which is electrically and mechanically identical, is available as an active product and serves as the current production equivalent.

Q: Are there compliance differences between the substitute parts?

A: The MPSA06RA is ROHS3 compliant, while the MPSA06_D74Z does not specify RoHS status. Both the MPSA06RA and MPSA06-AP are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected. For applications requiring RoHS compliance, the MPSA06RA is the appropriate selection.

Q: Can the MPSA06-AP be used as a substitute?

A: Yes. The MPSA06-AP meets all electrical and mechanical requirements for substitution. However, this part is manufactured by Micro Commercial Co and carries obsolete product status. The MPSA06RA is preferred for new designs due to its active status and onsemi manufacturer support.

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

A: Substitution compatibility is determined by matching the following parameters: NPN transistor type, 80 V collector-emitter breakdown voltage, 500 mA maximum collector current, 250 mV saturation voltage at specified conditions, 100 nA collector cutoff current, 100 minimum DC current gain at 100 mA and 1 V, 625 mW maximum power dissipation, 100 MHz transition frequency, and -55°C to 150°C operating temperature range. All substitute parts listed maintain these specifications.

Q: Is the TO-92-3 package identical across all substitute parts?

A: Yes. All substitute parts use the TO-92-3 (TO-226AA) through-hole package with formed leads. The physical dimensions, pin spacing, and lead configuration are identical, ensuring direct mechanical compatibility in existing PCB layouts.
