6N139 variants from onsemi
6N139 Overview
What changes between part numbers, and what to check before you lock the BOM — BJTs.
Key Features
- Lifecycle mix: ActiveConfirm lifecycle on the exact MPN, not just the base number prefix.
- 4 distinct suffix patternsExamples: SVM, VM, SDM, SM. Decode suffix meaning in the ordering notes under the variant table.
Target Applications
- BJTs — design-in and field replacement
- BOM scrub where only the base prefix is known but suffix is TBD
- Second-source checks when the original MPN is constrained
Ordering Variants
Compare 4 6N139 part numbers by package, electrical parameters, lifecycle, and availability. Use RFQ for stock and lead-time confirmation.
| Part Number | Description | Manufacturer | Lifecycle | RoHS | Availability | Action |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 6N139SVM | SINGLE-CHANNEL LOW INPUT CURRENT | onsemi | Active | Compliant | In Stock | |
| 6N139VM | SINGLE-CHANNEL LOW INPUT CURRENT | onsemi | Active | Compliant | In Stock | |
| 6N139SDM | High Speed Optocouplers 8PW SMD HI GAIN SPLT DARL OUTPUT OPTOCOU | onsemi | Active | Compliant | In Stock | |
| 6N139SM | High Speed Optocouplers 8PW DIP HI GAIN SPLT DARL OUTPUT OPTOCOU | onsemi | Active | Compliant | In Stock |

How to Choose the Right 6N139 BJTs
Match the footprint first
Pull the exact package drawing for your MPN — base-number swaps fail most often at the footprint, not the schematic.
Electrical headroom
Compare voltage and current columns in the variant table. For 6N139, a suffix with lower voltage or current rating will not survive the same circuit without recalculation.
Temp grade letter matters
Commercial (0–70 °C) and industrial (−40–85 °C+) suffixes look similar in the prefix — confirm ambient + self-heating, not just the first page of the datasheet.
Copy the full MPN
Do not BOM only "6N139" — include the full suffix (e.g. SVM, VM, SDM). RFQ with reel/tube preference and required date code.
