Product details
Overview
DXTN3C60PSQ-13 from Diodes Incorporated is an AEC-Q101 qualified NPN medium-power transistor in PowerDI5060-8 package, rated for 60V VCEO, 3A continuous collector current, and 175°C operation. It delivers low RCE(sat) <90 mΩ at 3A/300mA drive and features wettable flanks for automated optical inspection-ideal for automotive load switching and linear-mode voltage regulation.
For engineers reviewing the DXTN3C60PSQ-13 datasheet, DXTN3C60PSQ-13 pinout, DXTN3C60PSQ-13 application, or DXTN3C60PSQ-13 equivalent, key selection criteria include its +175°C rating, 8A peak pulse capability, IATF 16949 manufacturing traceability, and PowerDI5060-8 thermal performance (RθJL = 5.7°C/W).
Technical Context
This NPN bipolar junction transistor operates in linear and switching modes with DC current gain (hFE) ranging from 50–400 across 0.1–3A collector currents. Its low saturation resistance and fast turn-on time (ton = 135 ns) support efficient power control in thermally constrained environments.
The device uses a copper leadframe with matte tin annealed finish and is molded in UL 94V-0 green compound. Thermal design leverages the exposed collector tab (RθJL = 5.7°C/W) and supports JEDEC Level 3 moisture sensitivity handling.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar NPN medium-power transistor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| DMT3006LPSQ-13 | 60V, 3A, 175°C, same PowerDI5060-8 package but MOSFET-based; RDS(on) = 45 mΩ @ 3.3A | Lower gate drive requirement, no base current needed; better efficiency above 100 kHz switching | Select for higher-frequency switching or reduced driver complexity; not suitable for linear-mode operation |
| ZXTN2010ZTA | 60V, 3A, 150°C, SOT89-3 package; RCE(sat) = 110 mΩ @ 3A/300mA | Smaller footprint but higher thermal resistance (RθJA = 120°C/W); no wettable flanks | Select when board space is critical and ambient ≤ 105°C; avoid in AEC-Q101–required designs |
Compared with DMT3006LPSQ-13 and ZXTN2010ZTA, the DXTN3C60PSQ-13 uniquely balances automotive qualification, linear-mode capability, and thermal robustness in a wettable-flank package-making it optimal for high-temperature load switching where BJT characteristics (e.g., predictable hFE, soft saturation) are preferred over MOSFET gate drive simplicity.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable base current for DXTN3C60PSQ-13?
The absolute maximum base current is 500 mA per the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. For reliable saturation at 3A collector current, the datasheet specifies 300 mA base drive. Exceeding 500 mA risks permanent damage to the base-emitter junction, especially at elevated temperatures.
Does DXTN3C60PSQ-13 require a heatsink in typical automotive applications?
No dedicated heatsink is required if mounted on ≥25 mm × 25 mm 2 oz copper on FR4. With RθJL = 5.7°C/W and PD = 2.5 W, junction temperature rise is ~14°C above lead temperature-well within the +175°C limit even at +125°C ambient, assuming proper PCB thermal design.
Is the PowerDI5060-8 package compatible with standard reflow profiles?
Yes-the device is rated for Moisture Sensitivity Level 3 (per J-STD-020) and supports industry-standard lead-free reflow profiles. Peak temperature must not exceed 260°C, and the profile must comply with the ramp rates and dwell times specified in Diodes' packaging guidelines.
Can DXTN3C60PSQ-13 be used in avalanche mode?
No-this transistor is not rated or characterized for repetitive avalanche operation. The datasheet does not specify avalanche energy (EAS) or ruggedness testing. Operation beyond VCEO = 60 V risks irreversible breakdown and should be avoided in circuit design.
