ZXT12P12DXTC

Overview

The ZXT12P12DXTC is a dual PNP silicon low saturation switching transistor from Diodes Incorporated, packaged in an MSOP8. It features a collector-emitter voltage (VCEO) of -12V and a continuous collector current (IC) of -3A per channel. The device utilizes a matrix structure for extremely low on-state losses, with a typical saturation voltage (VCE(sat)) ranging from -8mV to -270mV depending on drive conditions. Static forward current transfer ratio (hFE) is characterized up to 12A. Thermal resistance (RθJA) varies between 100°C/W and 143°C/W based on PCB copper coverage and air flow.
