DCX53-13

Single Bipolar Transistors Overview

The DCX53-13 is a PNP surface mount transistor manufactured by Diodes Incorporated, housed in an SOT89-3L package. It features epitaxial planar die construction and is designed for automated assembly processes. The device supports a continuous collector current of -1 A and a peak pulse current of -1.5 A. Key electrical ratings include a collector-base voltage of -100 V, a collector-emitter voltage of -80 V, and an emitter-base voltage of -5 V. Power dissipation is rated at 1 W with a thermal resistance of 125 °C/W. Operating temperature ranges from -55 to +150 °C.

Single Bipolar Transistors Procurement Notes

Verify the component datasheet revision and ordering information before procurement. Confirm that the specific suffix matches the required gain binning, as variants exist. Ensure compliance with RoHS standards and lead-free plating requirements specified in the documentation. Check for any design-in restrictions or lifecycle status updates directly from the manufacturer.

Single Bipolar Transistors Selection Notes

Select this component for designs requiring a PNP transistor in an SOT89-3L package. Consider the complementary DCX56 if an NPN counterpart is needed. Evaluate thermal management capabilities based on the 125 °C/W junction-to-ambient resistance. Verify that the -80 V collector-emitter voltage rating meets the circuit's maximum operating conditions.

Single Bipolar Transistors Part Context

The DCX53-13 belongs to the DCX53/-16 series of PNP surface mount transistors produced by Diodes Incorporated. This series utilizes epitaxial planar technology and is packaged in the SOT89-3L form factor. The product line includes complementary NPN options and is intended for general-purpose medium power applications.

Single Bipolar Transistors Replacement Considerations

The datasheet explicitly identifies BCX53 and BCX5316 as alternative parts. These are recommended replacements due to the DCX53-13 being marked as Not Recommended for New Design.
