Description
MPSA42 is a high voltage NPN transistor. It is commonly used for switching purpose since it has a low gain value of 30. It can turn on/off high voltage loads (upto 300V). Hence, commonly used for heavy loads or loads that have high peak voltage. The collector current of the IC is 500mA (0.5A) therefore, cannot drive loads which consumes high current. It also has a Base-Emitter voltage of 6V making it easy to control using microcontrollers.
When this transistor is fully biased, it allows a maximum current of 500 mA to flow across the collector and emitter. This the Saturation Region and the typical voltage allowed across the Collector-Emitter or Collector-Base could be 300 V and 300 V respectively. When base current is removed the transistor becomes fully off; thus the Cut-off Region.
