Product details
Overview
DCP69-13 from Diodes Incorporated is a 20V PNP medium-power bipolar junction transistor (BJT) in SOT223 package, rated for -1A continuous collector current, -20V VCEO, and 1W power dissipation on standard FR-4 PCB. It delivers hFE = 50–375 at VCE = -1V and supports switching and linear amplification in industrial power management circuits.
For engineers reviewing the DCP69-13 datasheet, DCP69-13 pinout, DCP69-13 application, or DCP69-13 equivalent, key selection criteria include its -20V VCEO, -1A IC, SOT223 thermal performance (RθJA = 125°C/W), VCE(sat) ≤ -0.5V at -1A/-100mA drive, and automotive-grade qualification path via Q-suffix variants.
Technical Context
This PNP BJT employs epitaxial planar die construction for stable gain and low leakage, with verified breakdown ratings of -25V VCBO, -20V VCEO, and -5V VEBO. Its fT = 40–200 MHz enables use in medium-frequency switching and analog amplification up to ~100 MHz.
Thermal behavior is defined for two mounting conditions: 1W/125°C/W on minimal pad layout and 2W/62.5°C/W with 1 in² copper pour. ESD robustness meets JEDEC Class 3A HBM (4000 V) and MM (400 V), supporting automated assembly without special handling.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCEO | -20 V - Maximum safe collector-emitter voltage before avalanche conduction in common-emitter configuration |
| IC | -1 A - Continuous DC collector current rating under specified thermal conditions |
| hFE | 50–375 - DC current gain range across operating points, enabling predictable base drive sizing |
| VCE(sat) | ≤ -0.5 V @ -1A/-100mA - Low saturation voltage ensures <0.5W conduction loss at full load |
| fT | 40–200 MHz - Transition frequency confirms suitability for medium-speed switching (e.g., 10–50 kHz PWM drivers) |
| RθJA | 125 °C/W - Thermal resistance defines junction-to-ambient rise per watt on standard FR-4 layout |
| ESD HBM | 4000 V - Human Body Model rating allows direct handling in non-classified assembly lines |
Pinout & Package
Package: SOT223 - Surface-mount plastic package with integrated heat sink tab (pin 3), rated for 1W dissipation on standard PCB layout and 2W with extended copper area. Moisture sensitivity level 1 (J-STD-020).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (Emitter) | Current source terminal in PNP operation | Connected to higher potential rail; carries full load current into device |
| 2 (Base) | Control input for minority-carrier injection | Receives negative bias current to turn on; requires ~-100mA for full saturation at -1A |
| 3 (Collector) | Current sink terminal and thermal path | Connected to load return; tab is electrically tied to collector and serves as primary heat dissipation surface |
| 4 (Tab / Heat Sink) | Collector connection and thermal interface | Must be soldered to ≥1 in² copper pour for 2W operation; electrically identical to pin 3 |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Epitaxial planar die construction | Ensures consistent hFE distribution and low leakage (<100 nA ICBO at 25°C) |
| SOT223 thermal design | Enables 1W operation on standard FR-4 and 2W with 1 in² copper, reducing need for external heatsinks |
| Lead-free & halogen-free "Green" compliance | Fully RoHS 3 compliant with Br+Cl <1500 ppm and Sb <1000 ppm-meets automotive and industrial environmental mandates |
| Automotive qualification path | Q-suffix variants available with AEC-Q101 qualification, PPAP support, and IATF 16949 manufacturing |
Applications
| Industrial Power Supply Control | LED Constant-Current Driver |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| ZTX951 | Higher VCEO (-60V), lower hFE (20–200), TO-92 package | Limited power dissipation (0.8W), no integrated heatsink tab | Select when higher voltage margin is critical and thermal load <0.5W |
| MJD2955T4G | Same SOT223, -60V VCEO, -10A IC, higher PD (1.5W min) | Over-specified voltage/current; larger die increases cost and capacitance | Choose only if future-proofing for >20V systems or >1A surge requirements |
Compared with ZTX951 and MJD2955T4G, DCP69-13 offers optimal balance of voltage rating (-20V), thermal capability (1W/125°C/W), and gain consistency (hFE ≥50 at 1A) for cost-sensitive 12–24V industrial switching-without over-engineering or sacrificing manufacturability.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous collector current for DCP69-13 at 70°C ambient?
At TA = 70°C, derating applies per the datasheet's thermal curve: RθJA = 125°C/W implies 1W max at 25°C, so allowable power drops to ~0.6W at 70°C ambient. With VCE(sat) ≈ -0.5V, this supports ~1.2A peak but limits continuous IC to approximately 0.8A to maintain TJ ≤ 150°C.
Is DCP69-13 pin-compatible with DCP68?
Yes-DCP68 is the complementary NPN device in identical SOT223 package with matching pinout (Emitter/Base/Collector). Both share the same mechanical footprint and thermal pad layout, enabling direct substitution in push-pull or complementary pair designs without PCB revision.
Does DCP69-13 require a base current limiting resistor in switching applications?
Yes-base drive must be current-limited to avoid exceeding IB = -100mA (typical for saturation at -1A IC). For a 3.3V or 5V MCU GPIO driving the base, a 22–47Ω resistor ensures safe, reliable turn-on while preventing excessive base dissipation and latch-up risk.
Can DCP69-13 be used in automotive applications?
Standard DCP69-13 is not AEC-Q101 qualified, but Diodes offers automotive-grade Q-suffix variants (e.g., DCP69Q-13) manufactured in IATF 16949 facilities, PPAP-capable, and tested to AEC-Q101 stress requirements-these are required for safety-critical or production automotive use.
