Product details
Overview
DXT751Q from Diodes Incorporated is a 60V PNP bipolar junction transistor (BJT) engineered for automotive power switching, delivering -3A continuous collector current, -60V VCEO, and low 0.08V typical VCE(sat) at -1A/-100mA drive-enabling efficient high-side load control in engine control units and body electronics.
For engineers reviewing the DXT751Q datasheet, DXT751Q pinout, DXT751Q application, or DXT751Q equivalent, key selection criteria include its AEC-Q101 qualification, SOT89 thermal performance (RθJL = 6.0°C/W), -6A peak pulse capability, and complementary pairing with DXT651Q for H-bridge designs.
Technical Context
This PNP BJT operates as a high-current, low-saturation switch in DC-DC converters and motor drivers, leveraging its robust -60V VCEO rating and 100–145 MHz fT for stable mid-frequency switching. Its hFE ranges from 70 to 300 across IC = -50mA to -2A, supporting both linear and saturated-mode operation.
The device uses an exposed-collector SOT89 package with RθJL = 6.0°C/W to maximize power handling under automotive ambient conditions (-55°C to +150°C), and features <900ppm Br/Cl and <1000ppm Sb for halogen/antimony-free compliance.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCEO | -60 V - Withstands 60V reverse emitter-collector voltage in blocking state, suitable for 48V automotive systems. |
| IC (cont.) | -3 A - Supports sustained 3A load current without derating on 40mm×40mm PCB, enabling compact high-power switches. |
| VCE(sat) | -0.08 V (typ.) @ -1A/-100mA - Minimizes conduction loss and heat generation in high-duty-cycle applications. |
| fT | 100–145 MHz - Enables reliable operation up to ~50 MHz switching in PWM-controlled power stages. |
| RθJL | 6.0 °C/W - Low junction-to-lead thermal resistance allows direct thermal coupling to PCB copper, improving reliability. |
| AEC-Q101 | Qualified - Meets stress-test requirements for automotive-grade reliability including temperature cycling and HTRB. |
Pinout & Package
Package: SOT89 - Surface-mount plastic package with exposed collector pad for enhanced thermal dissipation; 0.052 g mass; UL 94V-0 rated molding compound.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Emitter (E) | Current source terminal | Connected to higher potential rail; carries full load current into the transistor. |
| Collector (C) | Current sink terminal / Thermal path | Exposed metal pad soldered to PCB copper; primary heat extraction path (RθJL = 6.0°C/W). |
| Base (B) | Control input | Receives negative drive current to turn on; requires -100mA for full saturation at -1A IC. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low VCE(sat) | 0.08 V typ. at -1A ensures ≤80 mW conduction loss, reducing heatsink requirements in space-constrained modules. |
| AEC-Q101 qualification | Validated for automotive use per stress tests including HTGB, HTRB, and temperature cycling-no additional qualification needed for Tier-1 programs. |
| SOT89 thermal design | Exposed collector pad enables direct thermal transfer to PCB, achieving 2× higher power dissipation vs. standard SOT23 at same footprint. |
| Complementary pairing | Designed as PNP counterpart to DXT651Q (NPN), simplifying dual-transistor gate driver and half-bridge layout. |
Applications
| Engine Control Unit (ECU) Fuel Injector Driver | Automotive HVAC Blower Motor Control |
|---|---|

Use Value: Matched hFE and VCE(sat) characteristics between DXT751Q/DXT651Q minimize shoot-through risk and improve current balance. | Use Scenario: Isolating auxiliary 48V subsystems (e.g., active suspension sensors) from main battery during fault conditions. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-reliability power switch activated by microcontroller GPIO, rated for 48V nominal and 60V max system voltage. Use Value: RθJL = 6.0°C/W enables >1W dissipation without external heatsink-critical for sealed ECU enclosures. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar PNP power transistor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ZXT751MATA | Same SOT89 package, -60V VCEO, but lower IC = -2A and higher VCE(sat) = -0.25V (typ.) | Limited to ≤2A loads; less suitable for 3A continuous automotive actuators | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs current headroom and thermal margin. |
| MJD751T4G | TO-252 package, -60V VCEO, -3A IC, but RθJA = 62.5°C/W (vs. 6.0°C/W junction-to-lead) | Requires larger PCB area and external heatsink; not drop-in compatible with SOT89 layout | Choose only if legacy TO-252 footprint must be retained and thermal budget permits. |
Compared with ZXT751MATA and MJD751T4G, DXT751Q uniquely combines SOT89 footprint, -3A continuous rating, ultra-low 0.08V VCE(sat), and 6.0°C/W RθJL-making it optimal for thermally constrained, high-reliability automotive modules where board space and thermal management are critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable junction temperature for DXT751Q?
The DXT751Q has an operating junction temperature range of -55°C to +150°C. Its absolute maximum TJ is +150°C, validated under AEC-Q101 stress testing. Derating begins above +25°C ambient, with full 1W power dissipation permitted only up to +75°C ambient on a 40mm×40mm PCB per datasheet Note 7.
Is DXT751Q suitable for switching inductive loads like solenoids?
Yes-DXT751Q is explicitly designed for automotive inductive loads. Its -60V VCEO rating and -6A ICM peak pulse current safely absorb flyback energy from solenoids and motors. External flyback diode is still required, but the transistor's ruggedness supports repeated switching at 100+ Hz without degradation.
How does the SOT89 package affect thermal performance compared to SOT23?
The SOT89 package features an exposed collector pad that provides a direct thermal path to PCB copper, achieving RθJL = 6.0°C/W-over 5× better than typical SOT23 RθJA. This allows DXT751Q to dissipate 2W continuously on adequate copper, whereas SOT23 variants would require derating to ≤0.3W at +70°C ambient.
Can DXT751Q be used in parallel configurations for higher current?
No-DXT751Q is not characterized or recommended for paralleling. Its hFE variation (70–300) and VCE(sat) mismatch across units can cause current imbalance and thermal runaway. For >3A applications, use a single higher-rated device or redesign with forced-air cooling and individual current sensing.
