Product details
Overview
2DD2679-13 from Diodes Incorporated is a low VCE(SAT) NPN surface-mount transistor in SOT89-3L package, rated for 30 V VCEO, 2 A continuous IC, and 0.9 W power dissipation on standard FR-4 PCB. It delivers 270–680 hFE at 200 mA and achieves 80–370 mV VCE(SAT) at IC = 1.5 A / IB = 75 mA, enabling efficient medium-power switching in DC-DC converter output stages.
For engineers reviewing the 2DD2679-13 datasheet, 2DD2679-13 pinout, 2DD2679-13 application, or 2DD2679-13 equivalent, key selection criteria include verified VCE(SAT) performance under pulsed 1.5 A load, thermal resistance of 139 °C/W (standard layout), complementary PNP pairing with 2DB1714, and RoHS-compliant matte tin plating over copper leadframe.
Technical Context
This NPN bipolar junction transistor uses epitaxial planar die construction to ensure stable gain and low saturation voltage across temperature. Its design targets medium-power linear and switching roles where precise current control and thermal management on compact PCBs are critical.
The device operates across –55 °C to +150 °C junction temperature range and supports pulsed IC up to 4 A. Its fT of 240 MHz at VCE = 2 V / IC = 100 mA enables use in high-speed switching applications requiring fast turn-on/turn-off response.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCEO | 30 V - Maximum safe collector-emitter voltage before breakdown under DC conditions |
| IC (continuous) | 2 A - Continuous collector current rating on standard FR-4 PCB with minimal copper |
| VCE(SAT) | 80–370 mV @ IC=1.5 A, IB=75 mA - Low conduction loss enabling high-efficiency switching |
| hFE | 270–680 @ VCE=2 V, IC=200 mA - Stable DC current gain for predictable base drive sizing |
| fT | 240 MHz @ VCE=2 V, IC=100 mA - Bandwidth sufficient for >100 kHz PWM switching |
| RθJA | 139 °C/W - Thermal resistance defining junction-to-ambient rise per watt on recommended pad layout |
| Package | SOT89-3L - Surface-mount outline with exposed collector tab for thermal relief and mechanical stability |
Pinout & Package
SOT89-3L package features an exposed collector tab for enhanced thermal conduction and mechanical anchoring. Molded green compound meets UL 94V-0 flammability rating; moisture sensitivity level is J-STD-020D Level 1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 (left) | Collector | Main current-carrying terminal; electrically connected to exposed metal tab for heat sinking |
| Pin 2 (center) | Emitter | Current return path; tied to ground or low-side reference in common-emitter configurations |
| Pin 3 (right) | Base | Control input; requires ~75 mA drive for full saturation at 1.5 A collector load |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low VCE(SAT) | 80 mV typical at IC=1.5 A - Reduces conduction loss and self-heating in high-duty-cycle operation |
| Epitaxial planar die | Stable hFE and VBE(ON) across temperature - Enables consistent base drive design from –55 °C to +150 °C |
| RoHS-compliant plating | Matte tin annealed over copper - Ensures solderability per MIL-STD-202 Method 208 and eliminates lead contamination risk |
| Complementary PNP pair | 2DB1714 available - Supports push-pull or H-bridge topologies without cross-manufacturer qualification effort |
Applications
| DC-DC Converter Output Stage | LED Driver Switch |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar NPN medium-power switching applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ZTX851 | VCEO = 60 V, VCE(SAT) = 150–400 mV @ IC=1 A - Higher voltage rating but higher saturation voltage | Preferred in 48 V industrial systems; less optimal for 24 V/low-loss designs | Select when system bus voltage exceeds 30 V or when higher breakdown margin is required |
| MMBT4401 | IC = 600 mA, RθJA = 270 °C/W - Lower current and thermal capability than 2DD2679-13 | Suitable only for sub-1 A loads; insufficient for sustained 1.5 A switching | Use only in space-constrained, low-power signal-switching roles where 2DD2679-13's footprint is prohibitive |
Compared with ZTX851 and MMBT4401, the 2DD2679-13 uniquely balances 2 A continuous current, 30 V rating, and ultra-low 80 mV typical VCE(SAT) in SOT89-3L-making it optimal for thermally constrained 24 V medium-power switching where efficiency and reliability are co-prioritized.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable junction temperature for continuous operation?
The 2DD2679-13 has an operating junction temperature range of –55 °C to +150 °C. For continuous operation, thermal design must ensure TJ remains ≤150 °C under worst-case ambient and power dissipation conditions, using the specified RθJA = 139 °C/W for standard PCB layout.
Is the 2DD2679-13 pin-compatible with other SOT89-3L transistors?
Yes-pin assignment (Collector–Emitter–Base) matches standard SOT89-3L orientation per JEDEC MO-220. However, electrical parameters such as hFE, VCE(SAT), and fT differ significantly across devices; direct substitution requires validation of gain, saturation voltage, and switching speed in the target circuit.
Does this transistor support pulsed operation beyond its continuous current rating?
Yes-the datasheet specifies ICM = 4 A peak pulse current under pulsed conditions (300 μs width, ≤2% duty cycle). This enables short-duration overload handling, such as relay coil inrush or motor startup surges, without exceeding safe SOA limits.
How does the "Green" molding compound affect PCB assembly?
The halogen-free, UL 94V-0 compliant green molding compound eliminates brominated flame retardants and ensures compatibility with lead-free reflow profiles. It exhibits no outgassing or delamination issues during standard IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020D Level 1 moisture exposure, supporting robust automated assembly.
