Product details
Overview
APT13005SI-G1 from Diodes Incorporated is a 450V NPN high-voltage power transistor in TO251 package, rated for 3.2A continuous collector current, 700V collector-emitter breakdown (BVCES), and 9V emitter-base breakdown. It serves as a switching element in low-power AC-DC SMPS for LED lighting and mobile device battery chargers.
For engineers reviewing the APT13005SI-G1 datasheet, APT13005SI-G1 pinout, APT13005SI-G1 application, or APT13005SI-G1 equivalent, key selection criteria include VCEO/VBCES ratings, hFE consistency at 1–2A, VCE(sat) under defined IB drive, thermal resistance (RθJC = 5.0°C/W), and TO251 lead-free, halogen-free compliance for automotive-adjacent industrial power designs.
Technical Context
This NPN bipolar junction transistor operates in linear or saturated switching mode with DC current gain (hFE) of 20–35 at IC = 1–2A and VCE = 5V. Its safe operating area supports 25W power dissipation at TC = +25°C in TO251, enabled by low RθJC of 5.0°C/W.
It features 8kV HBM ESD robustness and exhibits transition frequency fT ≥ 4MHz at IC = 0.5A, VCE = 10V - confirming suitability for medium-speed switching in offline flyback and buck-derived topologies below 100kHz.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCEO | 450V - Maximum collector-emitter voltage before avalanche under open-base condition; defines primary blocking capability in SMPS primary-side switching. |
| BVCES | 700V - Collector-emitter breakdown with base shorted to emitter; determines clamp margin during inductive turn-off transients. |
| IC (cont.) | 3.2A - Continuous collector current rating at TC = +25°C; sets maximum average output power handling in TO251-packaged converters. |
| VCE(sat) | 0.3–1.0V - Saturation voltage across collector-emitter at IB-driven conditions (e.g., 0.2–0.75A); directly impacts conduction loss and thermal load. |
| RθJC | 5.0°C/W - Junction-to-case thermal resistance; enables direct heatsink mounting and predicts temperature rise under 25W dissipation. |
| hFE | 20–35 - DC current gain range at IC = 1–2A; determines required base drive current for reliable saturation in discrete BJT gate drivers or self-oscillating circuits. |
| fT | ≥4MHz - Transition frequency at IC = 0.5A, VCE = 10V; confirms usable bandwidth for <100kHz switching with adequate gain margin. |
Pinout & Package
APT13005SI-G1 uses the TO251 surface-mount package with three terminals: Emitter (E), Collector (C), and Base (B). The package features matte tin-plated leads, UL 94V-0 molded plastic body, and weighs approximately 340mg.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| E (Emitter) | Current sink terminal | Connected to ground or low-side return path; carries full load current and defines reference for base drive. |
| C (Collector) | High-voltage switching node | Connected to primary winding of transformer or drain-side of snubber; must maintain >4mm creepage for 450V applications. |
| B (Base) | Control input | Receives current-limited drive signal; requires ~0.2–0.75A to ensure deep saturation and minimize VCE(sat) at full load. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| High voltage blocking | 450V VCEO and 700V BVCES enable use in universal-input (85–265VAC) offline SMPS without external clamping. |
| Thermal performance | 5.0°C/W RθJC allows 25W dissipation with modest heatsinking - critical for compact LED driver PCBs with limited airflow. |
| Lead-free & green compliance | RoHS 3 compliant, halogen- and antimony-free (<900ppm Br/Cl, <1000ppm Sb) - meets automotive supply chain requirements for material declarations. |
| ESD robustness | 8kV HBM rating reduces risk of assembly-line damage and improves field reliability in unshielded consumer power adapters. |
Applications
| Battery Charger for Smartphones | LED Lighting Power Supply |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Compact wall-wart charger converting 100–240VAC to 5VDC using flyback topology with discrete BJT control. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary-side switching transistor regulating energy transfer via base-driven on/off cycles synchronized to secondary feedback.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| MJD13005G | VCEO = 400V (50V lower), RθJC = 5.5°C/W, TO252 package | Slightly reduced voltage margin; larger footprint but better thermal spreading on copper pour | Select when board layout allows TO252 and 400V blocking suffices for derated input conditions. |
| BU508AF | VCEO = 1500V, IC = 8A, TO3P package, slower switching (fT ≈ 1MHz) | Over-specified voltage rating; requires mechanical mounting and heatsink; unsuitable for space-constrained SMPS | Choose only for legacy 110V-only systems requiring extreme surge immunity and where size/cost are secondary. |
Compared with MJD13005G and BU508AF, APT13005SI-G1 delivers optimal balance of 450V blocking, TO251 manufacturability, and 5.0°C/W thermal resistance - making it preferred for cost-sensitive, volume-produced 10–15W AC-DC adapters where footprint and thermal performance are tightly coupled.

FAQ
Is APT13005SI-G1 still in active production?
No - Diodes Incorporated has officially discontinued APT13005S (including APT13005SI-G1) as noted in DS42598 Rev. 1–4 (February 2020). Aetrix Electronics maintains limited legacy stock with full traceability and offers engineering support for last-time buy and obsolescence mitigation planning.
What is the correct pinout orientation for APT13005SI-G1 in TO251?
When viewing the front face (marking side) with leads pointing downward, the left-to-right terminal order is Emitter (E), Collector (C), Base (B). This matches the official Diodes TO251 outline drawing and is confirmed by the "E C B" label in the datasheet's pin-out diagram.
Can APT13005SI-G1 replace APT13005SU-G1 in a TO126-based design?
No - although both share identical electrical specs, the TO251 (APT13005SI-G1) and TO126 (APT13005SU-G1) packages differ mechanically: TO251 is surface-mount with gull-wing leads; TO126 is through-hole with straight leads. PCB land patterns, thermal vias, and assembly processes are not interchangeable.
Does APT13005SI-G1 meet AEC-Q101 for automotive use?
No - the datasheet explicitly states that AEC-Q101 qualification applies only to parts "contacted separately" and manufactured in IATF 16949 facilities. APT13005SI-G1 is not AEC-Q101 qualified; it is intended for industrial and consumer power applications, not automotive ECUs or lighting modules requiring automotive-grade reliability validation.
