MPSL01 Equivalent & Substitute Parts Reference

Part Overview

The MPSL01 is an NPN bipolar junction transistor manufactured by onsemi, rated for 120 V collector-emitter breakdown voltage and 200 mA maximum collector current. Housed in a TO-92-3 through-hole package, this device is designed for general-purpose switching and amplification applications with a maximum power dissipation of 625 mW and transition frequency of 60 MHz.

The MPSL01 is classified as obsolete. Substitute parts are necessary to maintain design continuity and ensure component availability for new production runs, repairs, and system upgrades. Active alternative devices from Diodes Incorporated provide equivalent or enhanced electrical performance within compatible package formats.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For Direct Voltage and Current Specification Match:

ZTX694B and ZTX694BSTZ are the primary substitutes for the MPSL01. Both devices maintain the 120 V collector-emitter breakdown voltage specification and exceed the 200 mA collector current requirement at 500 mA maximum. These parts are classified as active products with ROHS3 compliance and extended operating temperature range (-55 to 200 °C). ZTX694BSTZ is supplied in cut tape packaging with formed leads, while ZTX694B is supplied in bulk packaging. Both are housed in E-Line-3 packages compatible with TO-92-3 footprints.

For Enhanced Performance Applications:

ZTX453 and ZTX853 provide increased collector current capacity (1 A and 4 A respectively) with higher transition frequencies (150 MHz and 130 MHz). These devices operate at 100 V collector-emitter breakdown voltage, which is 20 V lower than the MPSL01 specification. Selection of these parts is appropriate when circuit design permits reduced voltage headroom and requires higher current handling or switching speed.

ZTX415 operates in avalanche mode at 100 V with 500 mA collector current and 40 MHz transition frequency. This device is suitable for applications requiring avalanche-mode operation characteristics.

ZTX653 provides 2 A collector current at 100 V with 175 MHz transition frequency and is appropriate for high-current switching applications where voltage specification can be reduced.

Compliance and Availability:

All substitute parts are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected. Inventory availability is confirmed for all substitute devices. ZTX694BSTZ has the highest inventory level at 25,200 pieces.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can ZTX694B or ZTX694BSTZ be used as direct replacements for MPSL01 in existing designs?

A: Yes. ZTX694B and ZTX694BSTZ maintain the 120 V collector-emitter breakdown voltage and exceed the 200 mA collector current specification. Both are housed in E-Line-3 packages, which are mechanically and electrically compatible with TO-92-3 footprints. No circuit modifications are required for substitution.

Q: What is the difference between ZTX694B and ZTX694BSTZ?

A: Both devices have identical electrical specifications. The primary difference is packaging format: ZTX694B is supplied in bulk packaging, while ZTX694BSTZ is supplied in cut tape with formed leads. Selection depends on assembly process requirements.

Q: Can I use ZTX453 or ZTX853 if my circuit operates at 100 V instead of 120 V?

A: Yes, if your circuit design operates at or below 100 V collector-emitter voltage. ZTX453 provides 1 A collector current with 150 MHz transition frequency, and ZTX853 provides 4 A with 130 MHz transition frequency. Both exceed the MPSL01 current specification and offer higher switching speeds. Verify that your application does not require the additional 20 V voltage margin provided by the MPSL01.

Q: What is the operating temperature range difference between MPSL01 and substitute parts?

A: The MPSL01 operates from -55 to 150 °C. All substitute parts (ZTX415, ZTX453, ZTX653, ZTX694B, ZTX694BSTZ, ZTX853) operate from -55 to 200 °C, providing an extended upper temperature limit of 50 °C. This extended range is beneficial for high-temperature applications.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. All substitute parts from Diodes Incorporated are ROHS3 compliant. The MPSL01 RoHS status is not specified in the provided data.

Q: What does "E-Line (TO-92 compatible)" package mean?

A: E-Line-3 is a through-hole package format that is mechanically and electrically compatible with the TO-92-3 package. Both use three leads and fit standard TO-92 PCB footprints. The E-Line designation indicates Diodes Incorporated's package specification.

Q: Which substitute part has the highest inventory availability?

A: ZTX694BSTZ has the highest inventory at 25,200 pieces in stock. This part is recommended for applications requiring immediate availability and high-volume procurement.

Q: Can I use ZTX415 in avalanche mode applications?

A: ZTX415 is specifically designated as an NPN transistor in avalanche mode. Use this device only if your circuit design requires avalanche-mode operation characteristics. Standard switching applications should use ZTX694B, ZTX694BSTZ, or other non-avalanche-mode substitutes.
