Product details
Overview
DCP52-16-13 from Diodes Incorporated is a PNP epitaxial planar silicon transistor in SOT-223 package, rated for -60 V VCEO, -1 A continuous collector current, and 1 W power dissipation at TA = 25°C, used in medium-power switching and linear amplification circuits in industrial power supplies and motor control stages.
For engineers reviewing the DCP52-16-13 datasheet, DCP52-16-13 pinout, DCP52-16-13 application, or DCP52-16-13 equivalent, key selection criteria include verified VCEO/VCBO ratings, hFE range at defined IC/VCE, thermal resistance (RθJA = 125°C/W), saturation voltage under load, and SOT-223 mechanical compatibility with automated assembly.
Technical Context
This PNP bipolar junction transistor operates in active or saturated mode with DC current gain (hFE) ranging from 100 to 250 at IC = -150 mA and VCE = -2 V, and transitions to high-frequency operation up to 200 MHz (fT) under IC = -50 mA, VCE = -5 V conditions. Its breakdown voltages - V(BR)CEO = -60 V, V(BR)CBO = -60 V, and V(BR)EBO = -5 V - define safe operating limits for reverse-biased junctions in switching topologies.
The device uses matte tin–annealed copper leadframe terminals, complies with RoHS and Diodes Inc.'s "Green" policy, and meets J-STD-020C Level 1 moisture sensitivity. Thermal performance is specified for FR-4 PCB mounting (RθJA = 125°C/W) and validated per AP02001 pad layout guidelines.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCEO | -60 V - Maximum allowable collector-emitter voltage before avalanche breakdown in common-emitter configuration |
| IC (cont) | -1 A - Continuous DC collector current rating at TA = 25°C, defining steady-state switching capacity |
| PD | 1 W - Power dissipation limit on FR-4 PCB; derates linearly above 25°C ambient per Fig. 1 |
| hFE | 100–250 - DC current gain range at IC = -150 mA, VCE = -2 V, critical for base drive sizing |
| VCE(SAT) | -0.5 V max - Collector-emitter saturation voltage at IC = -500 mA, IB = -50 mA, determining conduction loss |
| fT | 200 MHz - Transition frequency at IC = -50 mA, VCE = -5 V, indicating usable bandwidth for RF/switching |
| RθJA | 125 °C/W - Junction-to-ambient thermal resistance on standard FR-4 layout, governing heatsinking requirements |
Pinout & Package
Package: SOT-223 - surface-mount plastic package with exposed collector tab for thermal and electrical connection; 0.115 g mass; UL 94V-0 flammability rating; moisture sensitivity level 1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (Emitter) | E | Main current exit path; connected to most negative potential in PNP operation |
| 2 (Collector) | C | Main current entry path; electrically and thermally tied to large copper pad via tab |
| 3 (Base) | B | Control terminal; requires precise current limiting to achieve target hFE-dependent IC |
| 4 (Collector) | C | Second collector connection; paralleled with Pin 2 for enhanced thermal conduction and current handling |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Epitaxial planar die construction | Enables tight parameter distribution and stable hFE across temperature and production lots |

Applications
| Industrial Power Supply Control | DC Motor Driver Stage |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Switching regulator feedback loop and auxiliary bias rail generation in 24 V industrial SMPS units. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: PNP switch controlling optocoupler LED current and error amplifier reference node.

| Linear Voltage Regulator Pass Element | LED Current Sink Driver |
Use Scenario: Adjustable linear regulator output stage delivering 500 mA at 5 V for FPGA I/O banks in test equipment. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Series pass transistor regulating output by modulating base current in response to error signal. Use Value: hFE = 100–250 allows predictable base drive design; -1 A IC rating covers peak load surges. | Use Scenario: Constant-current sink for high-brightness indicator LEDs in medical diagnostic panel displays. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Ground-referenced current sink with emitter-follower configuration for stable LED current regulation. Use Value: V(BR)EBO = -5 V ensures safe operation with common-cathode LED strings; low VCE(SAT) preserves headroom for series resistor precision. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar PNP medium-power switching applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BCP52 | Same SOT-223 package; identical VCEO/IC ratings but hFE min = 40 (vs. 100 for DCP52-16-13); lower fT (150 MHz) | Less suitable for high-speed switching or precision current gain–dependent designs | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs gain consistency or bandwidth needs |
| BCP5216 | Identical hFE binning (100–250); same VCEO/IC; RoHS-compliant but not "Green" compound certified | No functional difference in circuit behavior; may require requalification for green manufacturing audits | Prefer for drop-in replacement where environmental certification is not mandated |
Compared with BCP52 and BCP5216, DCP52-16-13 offers guaranteed higher hFE minimum and full "Green" compliance, making it preferable for designs requiring tighter gain control and sustainability documentation - though all three share identical pinout and thermal footprint.

FAQ
Is DCP52-16-13 pin-compatible with BCP52 and BCP5216?
Yes - all three devices use the SOT-223 package with identical pin 1 (emitter), pin 2/4 (collector), and pin 3 (base) assignments per their respective datasheets. Mechanical and solder footprint compatibility is confirmed across Diodes Inc. and NXP documentation.
What is the maximum junction temperature for continuous operation?
The absolute maximum junction temperature is +150°C, and the device is rated for continuous operation across -55°C to +150°C storage and operating ranges. Derating begins at TA > 25°C per the 125°C/W RθJA curve in Figure 1.
Does DCP52-16-13 support lead-free reflow soldering?
Yes - its matte tin–annealed copper leadframe meets JEDEC J-STD-020C Level 1 moisture sensitivity and is qualified for standard Pb-free reflow profiles (peak 260°C), with no pre-bake required prior to assembly.
Why is DCP52-16-13 marked "Not Recommended for New Design"?
This designation reflects Diodes Inc.'s internal product lifecycle status as of June 2011, indicating prioritization of newer alternatives like BCP52/BCP5216. The part remains fully functional, in production, and supported with datasheet and reliability data - no performance or quality degradation is implied.
