MPSA13 Transistor Explained / Description:

MPSA13 is an NPN darlington transistor manufactured in TO-92 package. It is a widely used transistor. It is a darlington transistor which means it has two transistors or one pair of same transistors inside connected in a special way that is called darlington pair. It has a DC current gain of 5000 due to which the collector and emitter will be saturated on very small amount of current and the maximum collector-emitter saturation voltage is only 1.5V. The maximum collector current of the transistor is 500mA or 0.5A that is quite enough to drive variety of loads. The maximum collector dissipation is 625mW therefore it can also be used as an amplifier and preamplifier for audio and other signals in electronics.
