Product details
Overview
AMBTA92Q from Diodes Incorporated is a 300V PNP small-signal bipolar junction transistor in SOT23 package, rated for VCEO = −300 V, IC = −500 mA, and PD = 300 mW, with hFE = 25–40 at IC = −1.0 to −30 mA, designed for high-voltage switching and medium-power amplification in automotive power management circuits.
For engineers reviewing the AMBTA92Q datasheet, AMBTA92Q pinout, AMBTA92Q application, or AMBTA92Q equivalent, key selection criteria include its AEC-Q101 qualification, −300 V breakdown rating, SOT23 thermal resistance (RθJA = 417 °C/W), and complementary pairing with MMBTA42Q in high-side switch designs.
Technical Context
This PNP BJT operates in active, saturation, and cutoff regions with guaranteed VCEO and VCBO ratings of −300 V, enabling use in high-voltage collector circuits up to 300 V. Its fT = 50 MHz supports medium-frequency switching up to ~10 MHz in pulse applications.
Designed for automotive-grade reliability, it features ESD HBM = 4,000 V, operates across −55 °C to +150 °C, and is manufactured in IATF 16949-certified facilities with PPAP capability and full RoHS/"Green" compliance (Br+Cl < 1500 ppm, Sb < 1000 ppm).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCEO | −300 V: Supports high-side switching in 24 V/48 V automotive systems with ≥10× safety margin over nominal rail. |
| IC | −500 mA: Enables drive of moderate-current loads such as relay coils or LED strings without external buffering. |
| PD | 300 mW: Limits continuous dissipation to ≤300 mW on standard FR-4 PCB with 1 oz copper, requiring derating above 25 °C. |
| hFE | 25–40 @ IC = −1–30 mA: Provides predictable current gain for linear amplification or saturated switching with known base drive requirements. |
| VCE(sat) | ≤ −0.5 V @ IC = −20 mA, IB = −2 mA: Ensures low conduction loss in on-state, critical for efficiency in pulsed power control. |
| fT | 50 MHz: Validates usable bandwidth for PWM frequencies up to ~5–10 MHz in gate driver or signal conditioning stages. |
Pinout & Package
Package: SOT23 - surface-mount plastic package with matte tin-plated leads, moisture sensitivity level 1 (J-STD-020), UL 94V-0 flammability rating, and approximate weight of 0.008 g.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (Emitter) | Current source terminal for PNP operation | Connected to higher potential rail; must be biased positive relative to base and collector for forward-active mode. |
| 2 (Base) | Control input for minority-carrier injection | Receives negative current to turn on; requires series resistor to limit IB and ensure saturation under worst-case hFE. |
| 3 (Collector) | Current sink terminal | Connected to load and ground-return path; withstands up to −300 V reverse bias when off. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualified | Validated for automotive temperature cycling, mechanical shock, and humidity testing per stress test standard. |
| VCEO > −300 V | Enables direct replacement of legacy high-voltage transistors in ignition drivers and fuel pump controllers. |
| Complementary NPN pair: MMBTA42Q | Allows matched push-pull or differential amplifier design with consistent thermal and gain tracking. |
| Halogen- and antimony-free "Green" construction | Meets EU Directive 2015/863/EU with Br+Cl < 1500 ppm and Sb < 1000 ppm for eco-compliant end-of-life handling. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar PNP high-voltage switching applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MMBTA92 | Same die, non-automotive grade: no AEC-Q101 qualification, no PPAP support, wider parametric spread. | Limited to industrial or consumer applications without automotive reliability or traceability requirements. | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs automotive compliance needs and lifecycle assurance. |
| ZTX951 | Higher VCEO = −350 V, larger SOT89 package, RθJA = 150 °C/W, but no AEC-Q101 certification. | Suitable for higher-power analog amplifiers where thermal performance dominates over footprint constraints. | Choose only if board layout allows SOT89 and system does not require automotive change control or IATF 16949 sourcing. |
Compared with MMBTA92 and ZTX951, AMBTA92Q uniquely combines AEC-Q101 qualification, SOT23 footprint, and −300 V rating-making it the only drop-in solution for space-constrained automotive modules requiring production traceability and PPAP documentation.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable collector-emitter voltage for AMBTA92Q?
The absolute maximum VCEO is −300 V at TA = +25 °C. This rating applies under DC or pulsed conditions with duty cycle ≤2% and pulse width ≤300 µs. Derating is required above 25 °C per the power dissipation curve in Figure 1 of DS40184 Rev. 2–2.
Is AMBTA92Q pin-compatible with MMBTA92?
Yes-AMBTA92Q and MMBTA92 share identical SOT23 pinout (Emitter-Base-Collector on pins 1-2-3), same marking layout (2G2), and identical mechanical dimensions. However, AMBTA92Q adds AEC-Q101 qualification, tighter parametric screening, and IATF 16949 manufacturing controls not present in MMBTA92.
Can AMBTA92Q replace a BC807 in an automotive design?
No-BC807 has VCEO = −45 V and IC = −500 mA, making it unsuitable for 300 V applications. Substituting AMBTA92Q requires verifying PCB creepage/clearance per IPC-2221 for high-voltage spacing, updating base drive calculations for lower hFE, and validating thermal performance with its higher RθJA = 417 °C/W.
Does AMBTA92Q support lead-free reflow soldering?
Yes-AMBTA92Q uses matte tin-plated leads and is qualified for lead-free reflow per JEDEC J-STD-020, with moisture sensitivity level 1. It withstands peak reflow temperatures up to 260 °C for ≤60 seconds and is compatible with standard SnAgCu (SAC305) profiles.
