Central Semiconductor Corp. Single Bipolar Transistors MPS455 APM TIN/LEAD

The MPS455 is an NPN silicon transistor in a TO-92 case designed for general-purpose amplifier and switching applications. It has a collector-emitter voltage rating of 140 V, a continuous collector current of 1.0 A, and a power dissipation of 1.0 W. The device operates with a junction temperature range of -65 to +150°C and has a thermal resistance of 125°C/W. The current gain (hFE) ranges from 100 to 300 at IC=150mA and drops to 10 at IC=1.0A. The transition frequency is 100 MHz at IC=50mA. The part is marked with its full part number and has a pinout of emitter, base, collector. The suffix TIN/LEAD indicates tin/lead plating, which is an optional plating variant supported by the series.
