Product details
Overview
2DA1971Q-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a PNP bipolar junction transistor (BJT) engineered for high-voltage automotive switching applications, featuring -400 V collector-emitter breakdown voltage (BVCEO), -0.5 A continuous collector current (IC), and AEC-Q101 qualification. Its SOT89 package integrates an exposed collector pad for thermal management, enabling reliable operation in ignition systems and LED drivers where high-voltage isolation and pulse robustness are critical.
For engineers reviewing the 2DA1971Q-7 datasheet, 2DA1971Q-7 pinout, 2DA1971Q-7 application, or 2DA1971Q-7 equivalent, key selection criteria include verified -400 V BVCEO, hFE ≥ 140 at -100 mA, VCE(SAT) ≤ -250 mV at -100 mA/-10 mA drive, thermal resistance RθJL = 10.4 °C/W, and AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive-grade reliability.
Technical Context
This PNP BJT operates in common-emitter configuration with strict high-voltage blocking capability up to -400 V and supports pulsed switching at ICM = -1 A. Its gain stability (hFE = 140–450) across -20 mA to -100 mA ensures predictable base drive requirements in inductive load control.
The device uses a thermally enhanced SOT89 package with exposed collector pad soldered to PCB copper, delivering RθJL = 10.4 °C/W and enabling 1.5 W steady-state power dissipation under defined 25 mm × 25 mm 1 oz FR-4 layout conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| BVCEO | -400 V - Ensures safe blocking of transients in 24 V/42 V automotive systems with margin against load dump spikes. |
| IC (continuous) | -0.5 A - Supports sustained current in fuel injector drivers and solenoid controls without derating at TA ≤ 100°C. |
| hFE | 140–450 @ -20 mA to -100 mA - Enables low-base-current drive for efficient gate/base control in discrete switch stages. |
| VCE(SAT) | ≤ -250 mV @ -100 mA/-10 mA - Minimizes conduction loss and self-heating during active switching in high-side configurations. |
| RθJL | 10.4 °C/W - Confirmed thermal path from junction to solder point enables direct thermal coupling to PCB copper for stable pulse operation. |
| ESD HBM | 8,000 V - Meets JEDEC Class 3B for handling robustness in automated assembly environments. |
| TJ range | -55 to +150 °C - Validated operating envelope for under-hood automotive locations including engine control modules. |
Pinout & Package
2DA1971Q-7 is housed in a surface-mount SOT89 package with molded green plastic housing (UL 94V-0), matte tin-plated leads, and an exposed collector pad on the underside for thermal conduction. The package weighs approximately 0.05 g and complies with J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity Level 1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Collector (C) | Main current sink terminal | Exposed metal pad - must be soldered to ≥25 mm² 1 oz copper for rated RθJL and power handling. |
| Emitter (E) | Current source reference node | Connected to system ground or high-side rail return; carries full load current with minimal voltage drop. |
| Base (B) | Control input for minority-carrier injection | Receives negative current to turn on; requires -10 mA typical for full saturation at -100 mA collector load. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualified | Validated for automotive temperature cycling, humidity, and mechanical stress per Rev G standard - no requalification needed for Tier 1 designs. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar PNP high-voltage switching transistor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ZTX951 | BVCEO = -300 V; hFE = 100–300; SOT89 package; no AEC-Q101 qualification | Limited to non-automotive 24 V systems; unsuitable for load dump immunity-critical designs | Select only for cost-sensitive industrial controls where -400 V margin is not required. |
| MJD2955T4G | BVCEO = -60 V; IC = -10 A; TO-220 package; AEC-Q101 qualified | Lower voltage rating but higher current capacity; requires heatsink for >1 W operation | Prefer for high-current, low-voltage solenoid drives where thermal mass outweighs board space constraints. |

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable collector-emitter voltage for continuous operation?
The 2DA1971Q-7 has a guaranteed minimum BVCEO of -400 V under test condition IC = -1 mA. For continuous operation, design must maintain VCE ≤ -320 V per datasheet ICES test condition to ensure long-term reliability and avoid avalanche degradation in automotive environments.
Can this transistor be used in a high-side switch configuration with 24 V supply?
Yes - the 2DA1971Q-7 is a PNP device optimized for high-side switching. With VCC = -24 V referenced to ground, its -400 V BVCEO provides >16× safety margin against transients, and its -250 mV VCE(SAT) at -100 mA ensures <2.5 W total loss in typical 24 V solenoid driver topologies.
Is the SOT89 package lead-free and RoHS-compliant?
Yes - the 2DA1971Q-7 is fully RoHS 3 compliant (2015/863/EU), with no intentionally added lead, halogens (<900 ppm Br/Cl), or antimony. Its matte tin-plated leads meet MIL-STD-202 Method 208 solderability requirements and UL 94V-0 flammability rating.
Does this part require external base current limiting in switching applications?
Yes - the absolute maximum base current is -250 mA. For reliable saturation at IC = -100 mA, a base resistor must limit IB to -10 mA (hFE-based design), and transient protection (e.g., clamping diode) is recommended to prevent reverse-bias E-B junction breakdown during inductive flyback events.
