Description
MPSW42 is a One Watt High Voltage Transistor. NPN Silicon transistor TO-92 Package, lead layout of EBC. Collector−Emitter Voltage VCEO 300 Vdc, Collector−Base Voltage VCBO 300 Vdc, Emitter−Base Voltage VEBO 6.0 Vdc, Collector Current − Continuous IC 500 mAdc. This is a slightly higher rated substitute for MPSU10, MPS-U10 and the 2N6557, 2N6558 Horizontal Drive Transistor at location Q905 used on the wells gardner K6100 color vector monitor and the C, B, E PCB layout is identical to the 2N6557 so you don’t have to modify the legs of the MPSW42, but you MUST use a TO-92 Heat Sink on this to extend it’s life which we stock.

Fixing up a Star Wars arcade game and discovered that the original transistor, 2N6557, is no longer being made. Luckily I found the replacement here on Arcade Parts and Repair! Great part selection and really efficient, fast shipping. Thanks!

Direct replacement for the the no longer available 2N6557 in my Wells Gardner 6100 high voltage cage. Nice because it doesn’t need to have the legs modified as it is the same pinout as the original.
NOTE: you do have to use a push on heatsink. These guys have the heatsink it is part number MP1019.
Thanks guys!

Got this because the previous part had failed. And yeah it’s a good idea to get the extra heat sink. Most especially for WG6100 You want to keep it running clean and cool. I would consider this an upgrade to the OG part. APAR has the best service on the planet They back everything up 100%. So buy with confidence 🙂
