Product details
Overview
2DB1188P-13 from Diodes Incorporated is a PNP medium-power bipolar junction transistor in SOT89 package, rated for -32V VCEO, -2A continuous collector current, and VCE(sat) ≤ -0.8V at -2A/-0.2A drive-optimized for high-current switching in automotive and industrial power control circuits.
For engineers reviewing the 2DB1188P-13 datasheet, 2DB1188P-13 pinout, 2DB1188P-13 application, or 2DB1188P-13 equivalent, key selection criteria include verified PNP polarity, thermal resistance (RθJL = 19°C/W), hFE range (82–180), safe operating area limits, and AEC-Q101 readiness via qualified variants (2DB1188Q/R).
Technical Context
This device operates as a medium-power PNP switch with complementary NPN pairing to 2DD1766. Its design supports linear and saturated-mode operation across -55°C to +150°C ambient, leveraging low RθJL (19°C/W) for efficient heat transfer through the exposed collector pad and stable hFE performance up to 150°C.
Electrical behavior is characterized by tight VCE(sat) control (< -0.35V typ. @ -2A), robust breakdown margins (VCBO = -40V), and fT = 120MHz-enabling use in moderate-frequency switching and analog amplification where gain-bandwidth and saturation voltage trade-offs are critical.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCEO | -32 V - Maximum allowable collector-emitter voltage before breakdown under open-base conditions. |
| IC (cont.) | -2 A - Continuous collector current rating defining maximum DC load-handling capability in PCB-mounted configuration. |
| VCE(sat) | < -0.8 V @ -2A/-0.2A - Ensures minimal conduction loss and heat generation when fully saturated in switching applications. |
| hFE | 82–180 @ VCE = -3V, IC = -0.5A - Specifies current gain range for biasing stability in linear or switching amplifier designs. |
| RθJL | 19 °C/W - Thermal resistance from junction to solder-point, enabling accurate temperature rise estimation on copper pads. |
| fT | 120 MHz - Current gain–bandwidth product indicating usable frequency limit for small-signal amplification. |
Pinout & Package
Package: SOT89 - Surface-mount plastic package with exposed collector pad for enhanced thermal dissipation; dimensions per JEDEC TO-243AA standard (D = 4.50 mm, E = 2.50 mm, H = 4.10 mm, L = 1.05 mm).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Collector (C) | Main current sink terminal | Connected to exposed metal pad; primary thermal path and high-current output node. |
| Emitter (E) | Current source terminal | Common reference point for PNP operation; tied to higher potential rail in typical switch configurations. |
| Base (B) | Control input | Receives negative drive current to turn on; requires external resistor for current limiting and saturation control. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low VCE(sat) | < -0.8 V at full -2A load ensures <1.6W conduction loss, reducing heatsink requirements in space-constrained layouts. |
| High IC rating | -2A continuous current supports direct driving of solenoids, relays, and LED arrays without external current boosting. |
| Robust thermal design | RθJL = 19°C/W enables reliable operation at TJ ≤ 150°C with minimal copper area (15×15 mm, 1 oz). |
| AEC-Q101 compatibility | Qualified variant (2DB1188Q/R) meets stress-test requirements for automotive electronics, supporting PPAP-capable supply chains. |
Applications
| Automotive Door Lock Actuator | Industrial PLC Output Stage |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Driving 12V DC solenoid locks in vehicle door modules with PWM-controlled engagement. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: PNP switch sinking current from solenoid coil to ground during activation phase. Use Value: Low VCE(sat) minimizes coil voltage drop and ensures full actuation torque; high IC rating eliminates need for Darlington staging. |

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Linear-mode current regulator using emitter-follower configuration with feedback control. Use Value: Tight VCE(sat) tolerance ensures uniform current distribution; wide TJ range (-55°C to +150°C) maintains dimming accuracy across environments. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar PNP medium-power transistor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2DB1188Q-13 | Higher hFE (120–270), active status, AEC-Q101 qualified | Preferred for automotive production; supports tighter base drive margin and extended reliability validation | Select when AEC-Q101 compliance, longer lifecycle, or higher gain consistency is required. |
| MJD122G | TO-252 package, VCEO = -100V, IC = -8A, RθJA = 40°C/W (no exposed pad) | Better voltage headroom and current capacity but larger footprint and inferior thermal performance on PCB | Choose for higher-voltage industrial switching where SOT89 size constraint is relaxed and thermal management uses heatsinks. |
Compared with 2DB1188Q-13, this part offers lower gain and obsolete status but identical pinout and electrical envelope; versus MJD122G, it trades off voltage/current headroom for superior thermal efficiency and compactness in surface-mount designs.

FAQ
Is 2DB1188P-13 still recommended for new designs?
No-2DB1188P-13 is marked obsolete in Diodes' ordering information. New designs should use the active 2DB1188Q-13 or 2DB1188R-13, which offer improved hFE, AEC-Q101 qualification, and ongoing manufacturing support per DS31144 Rev. 9-2.
Can 2DB1188P-13 be substituted with 2DB1188Q-13 without layout changes?
Yes-both share identical SOT89 package dimensions, pinout (C-E-B), and maximum ratings (VCEO, IC, VCE(sat)). The only differences are hFE range and qualification status; no PCB or schematic modifications are needed for drop-in replacement.
What is the maximum allowable PCB copper area for thermal derating?
Per DS31144, the 125°C/W RθJA value assumes a 15 mm × 15 mm FR4 board with 1 oz copper. Derating curves show power dissipation increases to ~1.6W with 2 oz copper and scales linearly with copper area-up to 2,500 mm² yields ~1.8W at 25°C ambient.
Does 2DB1188P-13 meet RoHS and halogen-free requirements?
Yes-per DS31144 Notes 1–3, it is fully RoHS 3 compliant (2015/863/EU), lead-free, and halogen/antimony-free ("Green" device), with bromine & chlorine <900 ppm each (total Br+Cl <1500 ppm) and antimony <1000 ppm.
