Product details
Overview
DXTP3C60PS from Diodes Incorporated is a 60V PNP low-saturation medium-power transistor in PowerDI5060-8 package, rated for -3A continuous collector current, -60V VCEO, and RCE(sat) ≤ 120 mΩ at -3A/-300mA drive. It operates up to +175°C and is qualified to AEC-Q standards for automotive-grade reliability, used in linear-mode voltage regulators and high-temperature load switching.
For engineers reviewing the DXTP3C60PS datasheet, DXTP3C60PS pinout, DXTP3C60PS application, or DXTP3C60PS equivalent, key selection criteria include its -60V breakdown rating, low RCE(sat) under high-current drive, thermal robustness to +175°C, and complementary pairing with DXTN3C60PS in dual-rail power stages.
Technical Context
This PNP bipolar junction transistor delivers stable linear-mode operation with hFE = 35–75 at -3A/-2V, supporting precise current control in analog regulation circuits. Its fT = 135 MHz enables fast switching in PWM-driven load switches while maintaining low storage time (ts = 160 ns) and turn-off time (toff = 345 ns).
The device uses a thermally optimized PowerDI5060-8 package with RθJC = 2°C/W, enabling efficient heat transfer from junction to case. Its JEDEC-qualified construction includes 4 kV HBM ESD protection and halogen/antimony-free "Green" molding compound compliant with RoHS 3 and UL 94V-0.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCEO | -60 V - Ensures safe operation in 48V automotive and industrial bus systems with margin against transients. |
| IC (cont.) | -3 A - Supports medium-power load switching without external heatsinking in compact PCB layouts. |
| RCE(sat) | 80–120 mΩ - Minimizes conduction loss and self-heating in linear regulators and constant-current sinks. |
| TJ max | +175°C - Enables deployment in engine bay, powertrain, and industrial motor control environments. |
| hFE | 35–75 @ -3A - Provides predictable base drive requirements for stable biasing in analog feedback loops. |
| fT | 135 MHz - Allows use in high-frequency switching applications such as LED backlight dimming drivers. |
| ESD HBM | 4 kV - Reduces risk of handling damage during SMT assembly and board-level testing. |
Pinout & Package
Package: PowerDI5060-8 - surface-mount, thermally enhanced 8-pin leadframe package with exposed collector pads, 0.097 g mass, UL 94V-0 rated green molding compound, and matte tin annealed terminals.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 3, 4 (C) | Collector | Electrically tied internal collector terminals; connected to large copper pour for thermal dissipation and low-inductance current path. |
| 5, 6, 7 (E) | Emiter | Parallel emitter leads reduce bond-wire resistance and improve current sharing at -3A continuous. |
| 8 (B) | Base | Single dedicated base terminal for precise current injection; layout separation prevents coupling with high-current paths. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low saturation resistance | RCE(sat) ≤ 120 mΩ at -3A ensures <0.36 W conduction loss, critical for thermally constrained linear regulators. |
| AEC-Q qualified | Qualified per JEDEC standards for automotive applications-supports use in non-safety-critical power modules without requalification. |
| High-temperature operation | Rated from -55°C to +175°C ambient enables placement near heat sources (e.g., MOSFETs, inductors) without derating. |
| Complementary pairing | Matched performance with DXTN3C60PS allows symmetric push-pull output stages in dual-rail DC-DC controllers. |
| Green packaging | Halogen- and antimony-free compound (<900 ppm Br/Cl, <1000 ppm Sb) meets global environmental compliance mandates. |
Applications
| Automotive Body Control Module (BCM) | Industrial Linear Voltage Regulator |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Driving resistive loads (e.g., solenoids, relays, heaters) from 12V/24V battery rails in door modules and lighting controls. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-side PNP switch controlling load current with minimal dropout and thermal rise. Use Value: RCE(sat) ≤ 120 mΩ limits voltage drop to <360 mV at 3A, preserving headroom for downstream logic and sensors. | Use Scenario: Precision adjustable linear regulator delivering stable 3.3V/5V supply to microcontrollers in factory automation PLCs. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Pass element operating in active region, regulated by external op-amp feedback loop. Use Value: Stable hFE across temperature (-55°C to +175°C) ensures consistent loop gain and output accuracy over wide ambient range. |
| LED Backlight Driver | Redundant Power OR-ing Circuit |
Use Scenario: Constant-current sink for multi-string LCD backlighting in medical displays and infotainment panels. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Current-controlled PNP emitter follower regulating LED string current via feedback resistor. Use Value: fT = 135 MHz supports PWM dimming frequencies >1 kHz without phase lag or overshoot in current response. | Use Scenario: Dual-input 24V OR-ing diode replacement in redundant power supplies for telecom shelf management. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Active PNP switch replacing Schottky diode to reduce forward voltage and power loss. Use Value: VCE(sat) ≤ 240 mV at -3A cuts conduction loss by >65% vs. typical 0.45V Schottky, improving system efficiency and thermal margin. |
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| DXTN3C60PS | Complementary NPN device with identical VCEO, IC, RCE(sat), and package; not electrically interchangeable. | Used in push-pull or complementary symmetry topologies-not a drop-in replacement. | Select when designing matched NPN/PNP pairs for bidirectional current control or H-bridge drivers. |
| MJD44H11T4G | TO-252 package, -80V VCEO, -8A IC, higher RCE(sat) (200 mΩ), lower fT (3 MHz). | Better voltage margin but larger footprint and slower switching; less suitable for high-frequency linear regulation. | Choose only if higher breakdown or legacy TO-252 compatibility is required; not recommended for space-constrained or high-speed designs. |
Compared with DXTN3C60PS and MJD44H11T4G, DXTP3C60PS offers superior thermal performance (RθJC = 2°C/W), tighter RCE(sat) tolerance, and higher fT, making it optimal for compact, high-efficiency linear and switching power stages where thermal density and bandwidth matter.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous collector current for DXTP3C60PS?
The DXTP3C60PS supports -3 A continuous collector current at TA = +25°C with proper PCB copper area (25 mm × 25 mm, 2 oz). Derating applies above +25°C ambient, reaching zero current at +175°C junction temperature per the published derating curve.
Is DXTP3C60PS suitable for automotive applications?
Yes-DXTP3C60PS is qualified to JEDEC standards referenced in AEC-Q for high reliability and is offered in an automotive-compliant variant (DXTP3C60PSQ) with full PPAP documentation. The standard version meets core stress-test requirements for non-safety-critical automotive subsystems.
How does the PowerDI5060-8 package improve thermal performance?
The PowerDI5060-8 package features multiple collector leads bonded directly to an exposed thermal pad, achieving RθJC = 2°C/W. This allows efficient heat transfer to the PCB copper, reducing junction-to-ambient thermal resistance to 60°C/W with minimum recommended pad layout-critical for sustained -3A operation.
Can DXTP3C60PS replace a standard TO-220 PNP transistor?
No-it is not a direct mechanical or electrical drop-in replacement due to its surface-mount PowerDI5060-8 footprint, different pinout (8-terminal collector-emitter-base configuration), and optimized thermal path. Board redesign and layout validation are required for migration from through-hole packages like TO-220 or TO-252.
