Product details
Overview
DCP69-25-13 from Diodes Incorporated is a -25V VCBO, -20V VCEO, -1A IC PNP medium-power transistor in SOT223 package, featuring hFE = 160–375 at IC = -500mA and VCE = -1V, VCE(sat) = -0.5V at IC = -1A/IB = -100mA, and fT = 40–200MHz - used in DC-DC converter switching stages and linear regulator pass elements.
For engineers reviewing the DCP69-25-13 datasheet, DCP69-25-13 pinout, DCP69-25-13 application, or DCP69-25-13 equivalent, key selection criteria include verified PNP polarity, SOT223 thermal performance (RθJA = 62.5°C/W with 1in² copper), guaranteed hFE range at high current, ESD robustness (HBM 4kV), and automotive-grade process traceability.
Technical Context
This device is an epitaxial planar PNP bipolar junction transistor optimized for medium-power switching and linear amplification. Its -25V collector-base rating and -20V collector-emitter rating support operation in negative-rail power supplies and high-side switch configurations up to 20V.
It delivers stable DC current gain (hFE = 160–375) across IC = -500mA at VCE = -1V, with low saturation voltage (-0.5V) enabling efficient conduction in load-switch and regulator circuits. The 40–200MHz fT supports moderate-frequency switching up to ~100kHz in PWM-controlled applications.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCBO | -25 V - maximum reverse bias voltage between collector and base before breakdown; sets upper limit for negative-rail switching node voltage swing |
| VCEO | -20 V - maximum collector-to-emitter voltage under open-base condition; defines safe operating voltage in common-emitter amplifier or switch |
| IC | -1 A - continuous DC collector current rating; supports medium-power loads such as 12V/1A DC-DC output stages |
| hFE | 160–375 - DC current gain at IC = -500mA/VCE = -1V; ensures reliable base drive sizing for saturated switching |
| VCE(sat) | -0.5 V @ IC = -1A/IB = -100mA - low saturation voltage minimizes conduction loss in high-current linear regulation |
| fT | 40–200 MHz - transition frequency confirms usable bandwidth for PWM control up to ~100kHz with margin |
| RθJA | 62.5 °C/W - thermal resistance with 1in² copper pad; enables 2W dissipation at ≤75°C ambient rise |
Pinout & Package
Package: SOT223 - surface-mount plastic package with integrated heat sink tab (pin 4), rated for 2W power dissipation with 1in² copper pad, UL 94V-0 compliant, moisture sensitivity level 1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 (Emitter) | E | Current exit terminal in PNP configuration; connects to higher potential rail in high-side switch or regulator top-side |
| Pin 2 (Base) | B | Control input; requires negative current injection relative to emitter to turn on device |
| Pin 3 (Collector) | C | Current entry terminal; connects to load or lower-potential node in common-emitter topology |
| Pin 4 (Tab/Heat Sink) | Collector | Internally connected to collector; must be electrically isolated or tied to collector net for thermal management |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Epitaxial planar die construction | Ensures consistent hFE distribution and low leakage (ICBO ≤ -10nA at 150°C) across production lots |
| Complementary NPN pairing (DCP68) | Enables matched push-pull or H-bridge designs without cross-manufacturer parameter mismatch |
| Matte tin terminal finish | Guarantees solderability per MIL-STD-202 Method 208 and compatibility with lead-free reflow profiles |
| Halogen- and antimony-free "Green" compound | Meets <900ppm Br, <900ppm Cl, <1000ppm Sb requirements for environmentally regulated industrial and automotive end equipment |
Applications
| DC-DC Converter Switching Stage | Linear Voltage Regulator Pass Element |

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 | VCEO = -20V, hFE = 100–300 @ IC = -500mA, RθJA = 120°C/W (SOT89) | Lower thermal performance limits continuous 1A operation without heatsink; narrower hFE range affects base drive design margin | Select when footprint compatibility with SOT89 is required and peak power <1.5W |
| MJD2955T4G | VCEO = -60V, IC = -10A, TO-220 package, RθJA = 1.5°C/W | Over-specified voltage/current ratings increase cost and board space; unsuitable for space-constrained SMT designs | Select only when >60V blocking or >5A pulsed current is required and TO-220 mounting is acceptable |
Compared with ZTX951 and MJD2955T4G, DCP69-25-13 offers optimal balance of SOT223 footprint, 1A/20V rating, 62.5°C/W thermal resistance, and tightly binned hFE - making it preferred for compact, thermally constrained 12–24V industrial and automotive switching applications.

FAQ
Is DCP69-25-13 pin-compatible with DCP69-16-13 or DCP69-13?
Yes - all DCP69 variants share identical SOT223 pinout (E-B-C-Tab), same mechanical dimensions, and identical internal die construction. Only hFE binning differs: DCP69-25-13 is binned to 160–375, DCP69-16-13 to 100–250, and DCP69-13 to 50–60. Electrical substitution is permissible if hFE requirements allow.
What is the maximum continuous power dissipation for DCP69-25-13 on a standard FR-4 PCB?
With a 1in² copper pad (per Note 6), DCP69-25-13 supports 2W continuous power dissipation (PD = 2W, RθJA = 62.5°C/W). Without enhanced copper, the rating drops to 1W (RθJA = 125°C/W). Derating is required above 25°C ambient per the thermal curve in DS30798 Rev. 9-2, page 3.
Does DCP69-25-13 meet AEC-Q101 qualification?
No - DCP69-25-13 is a standard-grade part. However, its die and assembly processes occur in IATF 16949-certified facilities, and the automotive-qualified Q-suffix variant (e.g., DCP69Q-25-13) is available with full AEC-Q101 stress testing, PPAP documentation, and change control - referenced in Diodes' Automotive Products portal.
Can DCP69-25-13 replace a small-signal PNP like BC807 in high-current applications?
No - BC807 (SOT23, IC = -500mA, PD = 310mW) lacks the current handling, thermal capability, and saturation voltage performance of DCP69-25-13. Substituting it in ≥500mA loads risks thermal runaway and premature failure due to excessive VCE(sat) and inadequate heat spreading.
