MPSA44

ST Semtech · Bipolar (BJT) · TO-92

MPSA44 from ST Semtech, in a TO-92. Pinout and pin descriptions extracted from the manufacturer datasheet (extract_pins, cross-checked by a second model); symbol, footprint, and 3D from KiCad-official CAD.

Pinout

Pin Name Type Function
1 Emitter passive Emitter terminal of the TO-92 package; the datasheet gives emitter-base voltage VEBO as 6 V maximum and emitter-base cutoff current IEBO as 0.1 µA maximum at VEB = 4 V.
2 Base passive Base terminal of the TO-92 package; the datasheet gives base-emitter saturation voltage VBE(sat) as 0.75 V maximum at IC = 10 mA, IB = 1 mA.
3 C passive Collector terminal of the TO-92 package; the datasheet rates collector-base voltage VCBO at 500 V, collector-emitter voltage VCEO at 400 V and collector current IC at 300 mA.
