Product details
Overview
BUT11APX-1200 from NXP Semiconductors (formerly Philips) is a high-voltage, high-speed NPN silicon diffused power transistor in SOT186A package, rated for 1200 V VCESM, 6 A DC collector current, and 32 W total power dissipation at Ths ≤ 25 °C. It is engineered for horizontal deflection circuits in CRT color TV receivers, delivering low worst-case dissipation under base drive and load variation.
For engineers reviewing the BUT11APX-1200 datasheet, BUT11APX-1200 pinout, BUT11APX-1200 application, or BUT11APX-1200 equivalent, key selection criteria include VCESM = 1200 V, IC = 6 A, tf = 170–300 ns (inductive), VCEsat ≤ 1.0 V at IC = 2 A / IB = 0.4 A, and isolated heatsink mounting capability.
Technical Context
The BUT11APX-1200 employs a rugged diffusion process optimized for repetitive high-voltage switching with fast turn-off characteristics. Its design supports operation under severe inductive load conditions-evidenced by tf = 170 ns (typ) and ts = 1.5 µs at Tj = 25 °C-with Rth j-hs = 3.95 K/W enabling efficient thermal coupling to heatsinks.
It features electrically isolated case construction per SOT186A mechanical specification, supporting safe isolation voltage of 2500 VRMS (50–60 Hz) between all terminals and heatsink. The device sustains VCEO = 550 V and exhibits hFEsat = 15.5 at IC = 3 A / VCE = 5 V, ensuring stable saturation under dynamic horizontal scan loads.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCESM | 1200 V peak - enables safe clamping during flyback voltage spikes in CRT horizontal deflection. |
| IC (DC) | 6 A - supports continuous horizontal output current in 50/60 Hz TV scanning. |
| Ptot | 32 W at Ths ≤ 25 °C - defines maximum steady-state power handling with heatsink compound. |
| tf | 170–300 ns (inductive load) - ensures rapid current decay to minimize switching loss and EMI. |
| VCEsat | ≤ 1.0 V at IC = 2 A / IB = 0.4 A - reduces conduction loss and self-heating during active period. |
| Rth j-hs | 3.95 K/W max - specifies thermal resistance from junction to heatsink, critical for thermal design margin. |
| Visol | 2500 VRMS (50–60 Hz) - guarantees reinforced insulation between transistor terminals and metal heatsink. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-voltage NPN switching transistor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BUT11A | VCESM = 1200 V, but Ptot = 25 W (lower), Rth j-hs = 5.0 K/W (higher), no isolated case. | Lacks electrically isolated case; requires insulating pad for heatsink mounting; lower power derating. | Select BUT11A only if thermal budget permits higher Rth and isolation is handled externally. |
| BUT11AX | VCESM = 1200 V, same SOT186A package and isolated case, but tf = 250 ns (max) vs. 300 ns for BUT11APX-1200. | Identical mechanical and isolation specs; slightly tighter fall time spec but identical application scope. | BUT11AX is a functionally aligned variant with marginally improved dynamic performance; suitable for drop-in evaluation. |
Compared with BUT11A and BUT11AX, the BUT11APX-1200 offers superior thermal performance (Rth j-hs = 3.95 K/W), confirmed isolated case construction, and validated 1200 V clamping capability-making it the preferred choice for thermally constrained or safety-critical CRT horizontal stages.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable collector-emitter voltage for BUT11APX-1200?
The BUT11APX-1200 has a peak collector-emitter voltage rating (VCESM) of 1200 V under open-base conditions with VBE = 0 V. This value is defined per IEC 134 Absolute Maximum Ratings and represents the highest non-repetitive voltage the device can withstand during flyback transients in horizontal deflection circuits. Exceeding this limit risks permanent breakdown.
Does BUT11APX-1200 require an insulating pad when mounted to a heatsink?
No, the BUT11APX-1200 does not require an insulating pad. Its SOT186A package features an electrically isolated seating plane, allowing direct mounting to a grounded heatsink. This design reduces thermal resistance (Rth j-hs = 3.95 K/W max) and simplifies mechanical assembly while maintaining safety isolation up to 2500 VRMS.
What is the typical fall time of BUT11APX-1200 under inductive load conditions?
The BUT11APX-1200 exhibits a typical fall time (tf) of 170 ns under inductive load conditions (ICsat = 2.5 A, IB1 = 0.5 A, LB = 1 µH, –VBB = 5 V, Tj = 25 °C). The maximum specified value is 300 ns, making it suitable for 15.625 kHz horizontal scanning where fast current decay minimizes switching loss and EMI generation.
Can BUT11APX-1200 replace BUT11A in existing CRT TV designs?
Yes, BUT11APX-1200 can replace BUT11A in most CRT TV horizontal output stages, provided thermal design accounts for its higher power dissipation capability (32 W vs. 25 W) and lower Rth j-hs. However, the BUT11APX-1200's isolated case eliminates the need for an insulating pad-requiring verification that heatsink mounting pressure and flatness meet SOT186A mechanical tolerances.
What is the DC current gain (hFEsat) of BUT11APX-1200 at typical operating conditions?
The BUT11APX-1200 delivers hFEsat = 15.5 (minimum) at IC = 3.0 A and VCE = 5 V. This saturated current gain ensures stable base drive requirements in horizontal deflection circuits, supporting predictable turn-on behavior and consistent power delivery across unit-to-unit and temperature variations.
