A92 PNP Transistor MPSA92 MPS-A92 PNP Transistor 300V 0.5A Transistor TO-92 Package 3Pin Leads PNP Silicon Bipolar Junction Transistor BJT

MPSA92 is a general purpose PNP bipolar junction transistor that is specially designed for high voltage applications. The transistor is available in many different packages by few manufacturers while few others only manufacture’s it in TO-92 package. The maximum collector to emitter voltage of the transistor is -300V this feature makes this transistor unique as compare to other general purpose BJT transistors. Moreover the maximum collector current of the transistor is -200mA and some manufacturers also manufacture it with upto -500mA collector current. The maximum collector dissipation of 625mW also makes it ideal to use for audio amplification purposes.

Overview of MPSA92 Transistor

The MPSA92 is a high voltage transistor, it can switch loads upto 300V with a very low trigger voltage (VBE) of only 5V, and this feature makes it suitable for digital electronics which operates at 5V. Apart from having high voltage rating of 300V they also have good operating speed of 50MHz with a low output capacitance of 3pF, but the trade off here is its low current gain of 50 hfe and low collector current of only 500mA.

Applications

• Low power amplifiers
• High voltage, low current switching
• Audio or other signal amplifiers
