Central Semiconductor Corp. Single Bipolar Transistors MPS455 TIN/LEAD

The MPS455 is an NPN silicon transistor in a TO-92 package, 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°C to +150°C and has a thermal resistance of 125°C/W. Current gain (hFE) ranges from 100 to 300 at IC=150mA and VCE=10V, dropping to 10 at IC=1.0A. The collector-emitter saturation voltage is 700 mV at IC=150mA and IB=15mA. The transition frequency is 100 MHz. The part meets the TO-92 mechanical outline with emitter, base, and collector leads in that order. The TIN/LEAD suffix indicates a specific plating variant, but all electrical and thermal characteristics are shared across the series.
