Product details

Overview

BSR30F from Nexperia is a PNP medium-power bipolar junction transistor in SOT89 package, rated for −60 V V_CEO, −1 A continuous collector current, and 1.35 W power dissipation at T_amb ≤ 25 °C. It serves as a high-side switch or linear regulator pass element in battery-powered systems and MOSFET driver stages.

For engineers reviewing the BSR30F datasheet, BSR30F pinout, BSR30F application, or BSR30F equivalent, key selection criteria include verified −60 V breakdown rating, −1 A DC current capability, exposed heatsink thermal performance (R_th(j-sp) = 13 K/W), h_FE range of 40–120 at −100 mA, and SOT89 mechanical compatibility with FR4 PCBs.

Technical Context

This PNP transistor operates in active, saturation, and cutoff regions with defined DC gain (h_FE) across −100 µA to −500 mA collector currents and exhibits low V_CE(sat) (−0.25 V typical at −150 mA/−15 mA) for efficient switching in high-side configurations.

Its thermal design relies on the exposed collector pad in the SOT89 package, delivering R_th(j-a) = 93 K/W in free air and R_th(j-sp) = 13 K/W to solder point-enabling stable operation up to 150 °C junction temperature under pulsed or linear conditions.

Key Specifications

Parameter	Value and Actual Design Meaning
V_CEO	−60 V: Maximum safe collector-emitter voltage with base open; defines high-side switch voltage headroom in 48 V or 36 V battery systems.
I_C	−1 A continuous: Sustained load current capability; supports regulators or drivers for loads up to ~12 W at 12 V input.
P_tot	1.35 W at T_amb ≤ 25 °C: Power handling with standard FR4 mounting; requires thermal pad area ≥6 cm² for full rating.
h_FE	40–120 at V_CE = −5 V, I_C = −100 mA: Predictable DC gain for bias network design in linear amplifiers or emitter-follower regulators.
V_CE(sat)	−0.25 V typical at I_C = −150 mA, I_B = −15 mA: Low saturation voltage minimizes conduction loss in switching applications.
f_T	100 MHz at V_CE = −10 V, I_C = −50 mA: Supports moderate-speed switching (e.g., <500 kHz PWM) and RF pre-driver use.

Pinout & Package

The BSR30F is housed in a SOT89 plastic surface-mount package with an exposed collector pad for thermal and electrical conduction. Dimensions: 4.5 mm × 2.5 mm × 1.5 mm body, 1.5 mm lead pitch.

Pin/Terminal	Circuit Role	Design Meaning
1	Emitter (E)	Current exit path; connected to load ground or reference node in high-side switch topology.
2	Collector (C)	Main current sink terminal and thermal interface; soldered to large copper pad for heat dissipation and low-impedance return path.
3	Base (B)	Control input; requires current-limited drive (e.g., resistor from microcontroller GPIO) to achieve target I_C.

Key Features

Feature	Design Value
Exposed collector pad	Enables direct thermal coupling to PCB copper; achieves R_th(j-sp) = 13 K/W for stable operation under sustained load.
High V_CEO rating	−60 V supports use in 48 V automotive auxiliary circuits or industrial 36 V DC systems without derating.
Peak current capability	I_CM = −2 A (1 ms pulse) allows brief surge handling in motor start-up or inrush limiting applications.
Low V_BE(sat)	−1.2 V max at I_C = −500 mA/I_B = −50 mA eases drive requirements from logic-level sources.

Applications

Linear Voltage Regulators

High-Side Switches

Use Scenario: Adjustable positive-output LDO using PNP pass transistor with feedback control loop.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Pass element regulating output voltage by modulating emitter-collector current based on error amplifier signal.

Use Value: Delivers low-noise, ripple-free output with V_CE(sat) ≤ −0.5 V enabling <1 V dropout at 1 A load.

Use Scenario: Power enable control for subsystems in portable medical devices or IoT sensors.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-side load switch isolating downstream circuitry from main battery rail.

Use Value: −60 V V_CEO provides margin against load-dump transients; exposed pad ensures thermal stability during 100% duty-cycle operation.

Battery-Driven Devices

MOSFET Drivers

Use Scenario: Reverse-polarity protection and load switching in handheld test equipment powered by Li-ion packs.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: PNP configured as ideal diode or controlled series switch between battery and system input.

Use Value: h_FE ≥ 40 ensures reliable turn-on with microcontroller GPIO drive; low I_CBO (<100 nA) preserves battery life in standby.

Use Scenario: Level-shifting gate drive stage for N-channel high-side MOSFETs in half-bridge motor controllers.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Active pull-down and fast turn-off enabler for MOSFET gate via complementary PNP-NPN pair.

Equivalent & Alternatives

The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar PNP medium-power transistor applications.

Alternative Part	Technical Difference	Application Difference	Selection Advice
BC807-40W	SOT323 package, lower P_tot (300 mW), V_CEO = −45 V, h_FE = 250–630	Not suitable for >45 V rails or >300 mW continuous dissipation; better for low-current signal switching.	Select when board space is critical and power demands are ≤300 mW with no need for exposed thermal pad.
ZTX753	TO-92 package, P_tot = 1 W, V_CEO = −60 V, h_FE = 100–300, no exposed pad	Higher thermal resistance (R_th(j-a) ≈ 150 K/W); requires heatsink for >500 mA continuous use.	Choose for through-hole prototyping or legacy designs where SMT thermal management is impractical.

Compared with BC807-40W and ZTX753, the BSR30F uniquely combines SOT89's exposed-pad thermal performance, −60 V rating, and 1.35 W dissipation-making it optimal for compact, high-reliability linear or switching roles where thermal headroom and voltage margin are critical.

FAQ

What is the maximum allowable junction temperature for BSR30F?

The absolute maximum junction temperature (T_j) is 150 °C per IEC 60134 limiting values. Operation above this threshold risks permanent degradation. Derating is required above 25 °C ambient-e.g., at 70 °C ambient, maximum usable power drops to ~0.8 W with standard FR4 mounting and 6 cm² copper pad.

Can BSR30F be used in automotive applications?

No-BSR30F is explicitly marked as non-automotive qualified in the revision history. It lacks AEC-Q101 qualification and has not undergone automotive stress testing. For automotive use, Nexperia offers the BSR30-Q variant, which meets AEC-Q101 requirements and supports extended temperature and reliability validation.

How does the exposed collector pad affect PCB layout?

The exposed collector pad (Pin 2) must be connected to a minimum 6 cm² copper area on the top layer of an FR4 PCB, tin-plated and single-sided, to achieve the rated 1.35 W power dissipation. Thermal vias to inner or bottom-layer planes are recommended but not counted toward the 6 cm² requirement unless specified in validated layout guidelines.

Is base resistor calculation required for reliable switching?

Yes-BSR30F is a current-controlled device. To ensure saturation at I_C = −1 A, base current must exceed I_C/h_FE(min) = −1 A/40 = −25 mA. With V_BE(sat) ≈ −1.2 V, a 220 Ω resistor from a 3.3 V GPIO yields ~10 mA-insufficient. A 100 Ω resistor (or active driver) is needed for full-load saturation.
