ZXT790AKTC

Single Bipolar Transistors Overview

The ZXT790AKTC is a PNP medium power high gain transistor manufactured by Diodes Incorporated. It features a collector-emitter voltage (BVCEO) of -40 V and a continuous collector current (IC) of -3 A. The device supports a peak pulse collector current (ICM) of -6 A and has a typical collector-emitter saturation resistance (RCE(SAT)) of 83 mΩ. Electrical characteristics include a DC current transfer ratio (hFE) ranging from 80 to 450 depending on the collector current, and a transitional frequency (fT) of 100 MHz. The component operates within a temperature range of -55°C to +150°C and is housed in a TO252 (DPAK) surface-mount package.

Single Bipolar Transistors Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific ordering suffix matches the required packaging format, as the datasheet specifies reel sizes and tape widths for the ZXT790AKTC variant. Confirm compliance requirements such as RoHS and halogen-free status against project specifications. Ensure thermal management designs account for the specified power dissipation limits under the intended PCB copper area conditions.

Single Bipolar Transistors Selection Notes

Select this component when a PNP transistor requires high current handling up to 3 A combined with low saturation voltage characteristics. The TO252 package provides adequate thermal performance for medium power applications. Verify that the -40 V collector-emitter voltage rating aligns with the circuit's maximum operating voltage. Consider the AEC-Q101 qualification if the application demands automotive-grade reliability standards.
