PBHV3160ZX

Single Bipolar Transistors Overview

The PBHV3160Z is a PNP high-voltage low VCEsat transistor housed in an SOT223 (SC-73) surface-mounted package. It supports a collector-emitter voltage of -600 V and a collector current of -0.1 A. The device provides a DC current gain (hFE) ranging from 70 to 130 at -10 mA. Collector-emitter saturation voltage is specified between -150 mV and -250 mV under standard test conditions. Thermal resistance from junction to ambient is 190 K/W in free air, while the junction-to-solder point resistance is 20 K/W.

Single Bipolar Transistors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix matches the required package variant. Confirm that the application does not require automotive qualification, as this product data sheet indicates non-automotive status. Ensure thermal management aligns with the provided derating curves for the target PCB footprint. Check marking codes HV316Z for identification during assembly.

Single Bipolar Transistors Selection Notes

Select this component when high voltage isolation is required alongside low saturation losses. The SOT223 package suits medium power applications where space efficiency is needed. Evaluate the hFE requirements against the load current to ensure adequate drive capability. Consider the thermal resistance values when designing heat dissipation paths on the PCB.
