FZT560TC

Single Bipolar Transistors Overview

The FZT560TC is a PNP high voltage transistor manufactured by Diodes Incorporated, housed in an SOT223 package. It features a collector-emitter breakdown voltage of -500V and supports a continuous collector current of -150mA with a peak pulse current of -500mA. The device operates within a temperature range of -55°C to +150°C and offers a power dissipation capacity of 2W (standard) or 3W (enhanced copper). Electrical characteristics include a DC current gain ranging from 80 to 300 at -50mA, a transition frequency of 60MHz, and low saturation voltages.

Single Bipolar Transistors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix 'TC' corresponds to the required reel size and packing quantity of 4,000 units per carrier. Confirm that the standard automotive-compliant variant is not required unless explicitly specified for automotive-grade reliability standards. Ensure the selected component matches the exact datasheet revision DS33140 Rev. 5-2 for accurate electrical parameters.

Single Bipolar Transistors Selection Notes

Select this component when a PNP transistor requires high voltage blocking capabilities combined with moderate current handling. Consider the thermal resistance values based on the intended PCB copper area, as power dissipation increases significantly with larger copper pads. Evaluate the safe operating area curves to ensure the application stays within limits during transient conditions.

Single Bipolar Transistors Part Context

This part belongs to the FZT560 series of high voltage PNP transistors designed for surface mount applications. It is distinct from lower voltage variants and complements other components in power supply designs. The SOT223 package provides a balance between thermal performance and compact footprint suitable for automated assembly processes.

Single Bipolar Transistors Replacement Considerations

An automotive-compliant version is available under the separate part number FZT560Q. Verify if automotive-specific qualification requirements necessitate this alternative over the standard commercial grade FZT560TC.
