MPSA56 3D Model

The MPSA56 is a PNP BJT transistor that can be used for switching and amplification.  This transistor's specifications are quite good, making it appropriate for a wide range of applications. The transistor's collector current is -500mA, therefore it can drive a variety of small loads in circuits with a current of less than -500mA. The transistor's collector to emitter voltage is -80V, hence it can drive a load voltage of up to -80V. Furthermore, the collector to emitter saturation voltage is only 0.25V, making this transistor ideal for low voltage switching applications.

The equivalent for MPSA56:

• 2SA1315Y

• BC528

• 2N5401

• BC527

• BC490A

MPSA56 can be utilized in electrical circuits for a wide range of general-purpose switching and amplification needs. It can drive loads of up to -500mA as a switch, therefore it can power a lot of LEDs, relays, and high-power transistors in electronic circuits. It can, however, be used as a standalone audio amplifier as well as in audio amplifier stages. It can also be used in RF applications that are less than 50MHz.
