Product details
Overview
2DC4617S-7-F from Diodes Incorporated is a 50V NPN small-signal transistor in SOT523 package, rated for 150mA continuous collector current, 150mW power dissipation, and 833°C/W thermal resistance. It delivers hFE = 270–560 at VCE = 6V, IC = 1mA, with fT = 140–180MHz and VCE(SAT) ≤ 0.4V at IC = 50mA/IB = 5mA - used in compact automotive signal switching and low-power amplifier stages.
For engineers reviewing the 2DC4617S-7-F datasheet, 2DC4617S-7-F pinout, 2DC4617S-7-F application, or 2DC4617S-7-F equivalent, key selection criteria include AEC-Q101 qualification, ultra-small SOT523 footprint, DC gain binning (S-grade), ESD robustness (4kV HBM), and thermal derating behavior above 25°C ambient.
Technical Context
This NPN transistor operates as a general-purpose amplifying and switching device with verified breakdown ratings: VCEO = 50V, VCBO = 60V, VEBO = 7V. Its gain-bandwidth product spans 140–180MHz depending on bias and frequency test conditions, supporting RF front-end and high-speed digital interface applications up to ~100MHz.
Thermal performance is defined by RθJA = 833°C/W on 1oz FR4, with linear power derating above 25°C ambient. ESD protection meets JEDEC Class 3A (4000V HBM, 400V MM), confirming suitability for automated assembly and automotive module environments.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCEO | 50 V - Maximum safe collector-emitter voltage before avalanche conduction in common-emitter configuration. |
| IC (max) | 150 mA - Continuous collector current limit defining usable drive capability in switching or amplification. |
| PD (TA=25°C) | 150 mW - Steady-state power handling on standard PCB layout; derates linearly above 25°C. |
| hFE (S-grade) | 270–560 - DC current gain range at VCE = 6V, IC = 1mA; enables predictable biasing in linear circuits. |
| fT | 140–180 MHz - Frequency where small-signal current gain drops to unity; sets upper bound for RF amplification. |
| VCE(SAT) | ≤ 0.4 V - Saturation voltage at IC = 50mA/IB = 5mA; determines on-state power loss in switch mode. |
| ESD HBM | 4000 V - Human Body Model rating per JESD22-A114; supports robust handling in production lines. |

| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (Emitter) | Emitter terminal | Reference node for current flow; connects to ground or low-impedance return path in common-emitter topology. |
| 2 (Base) | Control input | Receives bias current to modulate collector current; requires series resistor for stable DC operation. |
| 3 (Collector) | Output current node | Delivers amplified or switched current to load; connected to supply rail via pull-up or active driver. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualified | Validated for automotive temperature (-55°C to +150°C) and reliability stress testing per JESD47. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar NPN small-signal transistor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2DC4617R-7-F | Lower hFE range (180–390) and same package/ratings. | Suitable where gain tolerance >±30% is acceptable and cost optimization is prioritized. | Select when circuit gain stability requirements are relaxed and BOM cost reduction is critical. |
| MMBT3904-7-F | Same SOT23 package (not SOT523); hFE = 100–300; lower fT (300MHz typical but not guaranteed at 100MHz). | Requires PCB redesign due to larger footprint; less suitable for ultra-dense automotive modules. | Choose only if SOT23 layout exists and higher thermal resistance (RθJA ≈ 300°C/W) is acceptable. |
Compared with 2DC4617R-7-F, the S-grade offers tighter hFE control for precision biasing; versus MMBT3904-7-F, it provides smaller footprint and guaranteed high-frequency performance at 100MHz, critical for modern compact designs.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature for 2DC4617S-7-F?
The device supports junction and storage temperatures from –55°C to +150°C per datasheet DS30252 Rev. 10–2. Its thermal resistance (RθJA = 833°C/W) defines how much ambient temperature rise occurs per milliwatt dissipated on a standard 1oz FR4 PCB. Derating begins immediately above 25°C ambient.
Is 2DC4617S-7-F pin-compatible with other SOT523 transistors?
Yes - all SOT523-packaged NPN transistors share identical pinout (Emitter-Base-Collector on pins 1-2-3). However, electrical parameters like hFE, VCE(SAT), and fT vary significantly between part numbers; direct substitution requires validation against circuit bias and frequency requirements.
Does 2DC4617S-7-F support lead-free reflow soldering?
Yes - it features matte tin-plated leads qualified per MIL-STD-202, Method 208, and is fully RoHS 3 compliant (EU Directive 2015/863/EU). The "Green" molding compound meets UL 94V-0 flammability rating and is halogen/antimony free per Diodes' specification.
How does the S-grade hFE bin differ from Q and R variants?
The S-grade guarantees hFE = 270–560 at VCE = 6V, IC = 1mA - a wider but higher minimum than R-grade (180–390) and Q-grade (120–270). This enables more predictable DC bias in amplifier stages where gain consistency across temperature and unit variance is critical.
