Product details
Overview
APT13005DTF-G1 from Diodes Incorporated is a 450V NPN high-voltage power transistor in ITO220AB TYPE BR (TO220F) package, featuring BVCEO = 450 V, BVCES = 700 V, IC = 4 A, integrated anti-parallel diode, and anti-saturation design-used as main switch in low-power AC-DC SMPS for LED lighting and mobile device battery chargers.
For engineers reviewing the APT13005DTF-G1 datasheet, APT13005DTF-G1 pinout, APT13005DTF-G1 application, or APT13005DTF-G1 equivalent, key selection criteria include high-voltage blocking capability (700 V BVCES), thermal resistance (4.5 °C/W RθJC), safe operating area at 125 V/2 A, ESD robustness (8 kV HBM), and RoHS-compliant green packaging.
Technical Context
This NPN bipolar junction transistor is optimized for switching-mode power supply applications where high breakdown voltage and fast switching transitions are required. Its anti-saturation feature reduces storage time (ts = 4.0 µs) and improves turn-off efficiency, while the integrated anti-parallel diode enables freewheeling without external components in flyback and buck-derived topologies.
The device operates across –65°C to +150°C with 8 kV HBM ESD rating and supports pulsed DC current up to 8 A (ICM). Its fT = 4 MHz and VCE(sat) ≤ 0.9 V at IC = 4 A / IB = 1 A confirm suitability for medium-frequency (<100 kHz), medium-power (<28 W PD) hard-switched converters.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCEO | 450 V - Sustains 450 V collector-emitter voltage before breakdown; enables use in 230 VAC input SMPS with margin. |
| VCES | 700 V - Withstands 700 V with base open; supports surge tolerance and snubberless designs in offline converters. |
| IC | 4 A continuous - Supports output power up to ~25 W in flyback topology with proper heatsinking. |
| RθJC | 4.5 °C/W - Enables 28 W dissipation at TC = 25°C; requires minimal heatsink for ambient-limited operation. |
| ts | 4.0 µs - Short storage time reduces switching losses during turn-off; critical for efficiency at >50 kHz. |
| hFE | 15–35 @ IC = 1–2 A - Provides predictable base drive requirements for discrete gate control circuits. |
| VBE(sat) | 1.1–1.3 V - Low base-emitter saturation voltage minimizes base drive power loss in high-current switching. |
Pinout & Package
APT13005DTF-G1 uses the ITO220AB TYPE BR (TO220F) package-a lead-free, isolated, flame-retardant (UL 94V-0) molded plastic case with matte tin-plated leads. The metal tab is electrically isolated from the collector terminal.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| E (Emitter) | Current sink node | Connected to ground or low-side return path; carries full load current and defines reference for base drive. |
| C (Collector) | High-voltage switch node | Connected to primary winding of transformer or drain-side of snubber; withstands 700 V transient stress. |
| B (Base) | Control input | Receives current-driven signal (IB ≤ 2 A); anti-saturation design reduces need for active clamping. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated anti-parallel diode | Eliminates need for external freewheeling diode in flyback and forward converters, reducing BOM count and layout area. |
| Anti-saturation architecture | Reduces minority carrier storage, enabling faster turn-off (ts = 4.0 µs) and lower switching losses in hard-switched topologies. |
| 700 V BVCES rating | Provides headroom for line surges and ringing in 230 VAC offline supplies without requiring snubbers or derating. |
| RoHS-compliant & halogen-free | Meets EU Directive 2015/863/EU with Br+Cl < 1500 ppm and Sb < 1000 ppm; suitable for automotive and consumer-grade eco-design. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-voltage NPN transistor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STN13005D | BVCEO = 400 V (lower), RθJC = 5.0 °C/W (worse thermal performance), no integrated diode | Requires external freewheeling diode; less margin for 230 VAC surge events | Select only if board space permits added diode and thermal budget allows higher junction rise |
| MJD13005G | Same BVCEO/BVCES, but TO220AB Type C (non-isolated), RθJC = 1.67 °C/W, higher PD = 75 W | Non-isolated tab mandates minimum creepage distance on PCB; better for high-power, heatsink-mounted use | Prefer when thermal demand exceeds 28 W and isolation is not required by safety standard |
Compared with STN13005D and MJD13005G, APT13005DTF-G1 uniquely combines electrical isolation, integrated diode, and 4.5 °C/W thermal resistance in a green RoHS-compliant TO220F package-making it optimal for space-constrained, safety-critical, low-to-medium power AC-DC adapters.

FAQ
Is APT13005DTF-G1 still in active production?
No-Diodes Incorporated has marked APT13005D as obsolete (DS36463 Rev. 3–4, June 2021). However, Aetrix Electronics maintains legacy inventory and offers last-time-buy support, including full traceability, extended warranty, and cross-reference assistance for migration paths.
What is the difference between APT13005DTF-G1 and APT13005DT-G1?
APT13005DTF-G1 uses the ITO220AB TYPE BR (TO220F) package with electrically isolated collector tab, while APT13005DT-G1 uses TO220AB Type C with non-isolated tab. Both share identical electrical specs, but TO220F enables safer mounting on non-insulated heatsinks in double-insulated applications.
Can APT13005DTF-G1 replace MJD13005 in existing designs?
Yes, with caveats: both are pin-compatible NPN transistors rated for 450 V/4 A, but APT13005DTF-G1 adds an integrated anti-parallel diode and anti-saturation logic. Designers must verify that the internal diode does not conflict with existing snubber or clamp networks and that base drive remains compatible with hFE variation.
Does APT13005DTF-G1 meet AEC-Q101 for automotive use?
No-the datasheet explicitly states AEC-Q101 qualification is not claimed for APT13005D. It is intended for commercial/industrial applications. For automotive-grade equivalents, Diodes recommends contacting their sales team for PPAP-capable, IATF 16949-manufactured alternatives such as the DXT13005Q series.
