Product details
Overview
DDTA143TKA-7-F from Diodes Incorporated is a PNP pre-biased small-signal transistor with integrated 4.7 kΩ base bias resistor (R1 only), rated for -50 V VCEO, -100 mA IC, and 200 mW power dissipation in SC-59 package. It delivers hFE = 100–600 at IC = -1 mA, VCE = -5 V, and VCE(sat) ≤ -0.3 V at IC/IB = -1 mA/-0.1 mA - used in compact logic-level interface and load switching circuits.
For engineers reviewing the DDTA143TKA-7-F datasheet, DDTA143TKA-7-F pinout, DDTA143TKA-7-F application, or DDTA143TKA-7-F equivalent, this page provides verified electrical parameters, SC-59 terminal mapping, real-world use cases in level translation and LED driver stages, and validated alternative parts with documented R1/hFE and saturation voltage differences.
Technical Context
This device integrates a single 4.7 kΩ pull-up resistor between base and emitter (R1-only configuration), eliminating external bias components in simple switching applications. Its PNP topology enables high-side load control with TTL/CMOS-compatible input thresholds and low VCE(sat) under defined drive conditions.
The SC-59 package supports surface-mount assembly with JEDEC-standard thermal performance (RθJA = 625 °C/W on FR4) and moisture sensitivity Level 1 compliance. Electrical behavior is characterized across -55°C to +150°C, with guaranteed breakdown voltages of -50 V (VCBO, VCEO) and -5 V (VEBO).

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar PNP pre-biased transistor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| DDTA143ZCA-7 | Same R1 = 4.7 kΩ, but SC-70 package (smaller footprint, higher RθJA = 700 °C/W) | Higher thermal resistance limits continuous current in dense layouts | Select when board space is constrained and power dissipation ≤ 150 mW |
| NSVDDTA143TKA | Automotive-grade version (AEC-Q101 qualified), identical R1 and hFE, same SC-59 package | Qualified for automotive ambient temperature and reliability requirements | Select for automotive body electronics or infotainment power control where qualification is mandatory |
Compared with DDTA143TKA-7-F, DDTA143ZCA-7 trades thermal performance for size reduction, while NSVDDTA143TKA adds AEC-Q101 qualification without altering electrical specs - enabling direct substitution in automotive designs requiring certified components.

FAQ
What is the function of the internal resistor in DDTA143TKA-7-F?
The internal 4.7 kΩ resistor (R1) connects between base and emitter, providing fixed bias to enable direct connection to digital logic outputs without external components. It sets the base current required for saturation at specified IC/IB ratios, simplifying circuit design for on/off switching applications.
Can DDTA143TKA-7-F replace a standard PNP transistor like BC807?
No - DDTA143TKA-7-F is not a drop-in replacement for BC807 because it lacks independent base control and includes a fixed internal resistor. It requires redesign of the base drive network; BC807 needs external bias resistors, while DDTA143TKA-7-F assumes logic-level input directly applied to its base terminal.
What is the maximum operating temperature for continuous use?
The junction temperature must not exceed +150°C. At ambient temperatures above 25°C, power dissipation must be linearly derated per Fig. 1 in the datasheet: PD = 200 mW − (TA − 25) × 0.32 mW/°C, based on RθJA = 625 °C/W and recommended FR4 pad layout.
Is DDTA143TKA-7-F suitable for analog amplification?
No - it is optimized for switching, not linear amplification. The integrated R1 resistor prevents stable DC bias point setting required for Class-A operation, and hFE variation across current range makes gain unpredictable. Use discrete transistors like MMBT3906 for amplifier stages.
