Product details
Overview
DXT751-13 from Diodes Incorporated is a low VCE(SAT) PNP bipolar junction transistor in SOT89-3L package, rated for -60 V VCEO, -3 A continuous collector current, and 1 W power dissipation at TA = 25°C; used as medium-power switching or linear amplification device in DC-DC converters, LED drivers, and load switch circuits.
For engineers reviewing the DXT751-13 datasheet, DXT751-13 pinout, DXT751-13 application, or DXT751-13 equivalent, key selection criteria include verified VCE(SAT) ≤ -0.3 V at IC = -3 A / IB = -300 mA, hFE ≥ 40 at IC = -2 A, thermal resistance RθJA = 125 °C/W on FR-4, and RoHS-compliant matte tin plating over copper leadframe.
Technical Context
This PNP transistor employs epitaxial planar die construction for stable gain and low saturation voltage. Its complementary NPN counterpart is DXT651, enabling matched pair design in push-pull or H-bridge configurations.
Rated for operation from -55°C to +150°C, it supports high-reliability industrial switching with pulsed switching times of ton = 45 ns and toff = 200 ns under defined conditions (IC = -500 mA, VCC = -10 V, IB1 = IB2 = -50 mA), and exhibits fT = 100–145 MHz at VCE = -10 V, IC = -50 mA.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCEO | -60 V - maximum safe collector-emitter voltage before breakdown in common-emitter configuration |
| IC (cont) | -3 A - continuous DC collector current capability without derating at TA = 25°C |
| VCE(SAT) | -0.3 V max at IC = -3 A / IB = -300 mA - enables <1.0 W conduction loss in high-current switching |
| hFE | 40 min at IC = -2 A - ensures sufficient base drive margin for saturated switching at high load currents |
| RθJA | 125 °C/W - thermal resistance from junction to ambient on standard FR-4 PCB per AP02001 layout |
| fT | 100 MHz min - usable for audio-frequency amplification and moderate-speed digital switching |
| toff | 200 ns - supports PWM operation up to ~500 kHz with controlled turn-off delay |
Pinout & Package
Package: SOT89-3L - surface-mount plastic case with exposed collector tab for thermal enhancement; UL 94V-0 rated, moisture sensitivity level 1, weight ≈ 0.072 g.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (Emitter) | E | Main current exit path; connected to higher potential rail in PNP switching applications |
| 2 (Base) | B | Control terminal requiring negative bias relative to emitter to enable conduction |
| 3 (Collector) | C | Main current entry path; electrically tied to exposed metal tab for heatsinking |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low VCE(SAT) | ≤ -0.3 V @ IC = -3 A - reduces conduction losses by >40% vs. standard PNP transistors at same current |
| Epitaxial planar die | Stable hFE across temperature and current - enables predictable base drive design in production |
| SOT89-3L thermal performance | Exposed collector tab + RθJA = 125 °C/W - allows 1 W dissipation without external heatsink on standard PCB |
| RoHS & "Green" compliance | Lead-free matte tin plating, halogen-free molding compound - meets IPC-J-STD-020C Level 1 and environmental procurement requirements |
Applications
| DC-DC Converter Switching Stage | LED Constant-Current Driver |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| ZTX751 | VCE(SAT) = -0.4 V max @ IC = -3 A; RθJA = 150 °C/W; same SOT89-3L footprint | Higher conduction loss and lower thermal capability limit use in sustained 3 A operation | Select when cost is prioritized over thermal margin and efficiency |
| MJD2955T4G | TO-220 package; VCE(SAT) = -1.2 V @ IC = -4 A; higher power rating but larger footprint | Requires heatsink for >1 W dissipation; incompatible with SMT-only assembly | Select only when board space permits through-hole mounting and >1.5 W dissipation is required |
Compared with ZTX751 and MJD2955T4G, DXT751-13 delivers superior thermal performance in SMT format and lowest VCE(SAT) among SOT89-packaged PNP transistors, making it optimal for space-constrained, high-efficiency medium-power switching where automated assembly is mandatory.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable junction temperature for DXT751-13?
The DXT751-13 has an absolute maximum junction temperature of +150°C, consistent with its specified operating temperature range of -55°C to +150°C. Derating begins above 25°C ambient per Fig. 1, where power dissipation drops linearly to zero at +150°C ambient on FR-4 PCB with recommended pad layout.
Is DXT751-13 pin-compatible with its NPN complement DXT651?
No - DXT751-13 (PNP) and DXT651 (NPN) share identical SOT89-3L packaging and pin numbering (Emitter/Base/Collector), but their terminal polarities are reversed. Direct substitution requires circuit topology revision, not just pin-for-pin replacement.
Does DXT751-13 require external base current limiting in switching applications?
Yes - because it is a bipolar transistor, DXT751-13 requires externally calculated base resistor or current source to deliver sufficient IB (e.g., -300 mA for full saturation at IC = -3 A). The datasheet specifies hFE minimums across current ranges to guide this design.
Can DXT751-13 be used in linear amplifier configurations?
Yes - its specified hFE (70–300), fT (100–145 MHz), and low noise characteristics support Class-A and AB linear amplification. Stable operation requires proper DC biasing, thermal management, and emitter degeneration to avoid thermal runaway at high quiescent currents.
