MPSA12 Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The MPSA12 is an NPN Darlington transistor manufactured by On Semiconductor, designed for applications demanding exceptionally high current gain, particularly at currents up to 1.0A.

 

This transistor offers a collector-emitter breakdown voltage of 20V and a continuous collector current rating of 1.2A. It has a maximum power dissipation of 625mW and a high DC current gain (hFE) of 20,000 at 10mA and 5V. The collector-emitter saturation voltage is a maximum of 1V at 10µA collector current and 10mA base current.

 

Operating within a junction temperature range of -55°C to +150°C, the MPSA12 is suitable for a wide array of environmental conditions. Its thermal resistance from junction to ambient is 200°C/W.

 

The MPSA12 is supplied in a TO-92 package, a common through-hole mounting type, making it convenient for breadboarding and through-hole PCB assembly.
