Product details
Overview
FJD5553TM from onsemi is an NPN silicon power transistor in DPAK (TO-252) package, rated for 400 V VCEO, 3 A continuous collector current, and 1.25 W power dissipation at 25 °C ambient. It delivers fast switching (tON = 1.0–2.0 µs), low saturation voltage (VCE(sat) = 0.23–0.50 V @ IC = 1 A), and robust avalanche energy rating (EAS = 3.5 mJ), designed for high-voltage switching in electronic ballasts and SMPS.
For engineers reviewing the FJD5553TM datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection considerations include its 400 V BVCEO, 3 A IC, DPAK thermal performance (RθJA = 100 °C/W), safe operating area (SOA) compliance, and avalanche ruggedness-critical for flyback and resonant converter primary-side switching.
Technical Context
This NPN bipolar junction transistor operates in linear or saturated switching mode with base-driven control. Its wide SOA supports high-voltage, moderate-current switching without secondary breakdown under transient loads, and its 1050 V BVCBO enables reliable operation in high-impedance collector circuits.
The device features low output capacitance (Cob = 45 pF @ 10 V), enabling efficient high-frequency switching up to several hundred kHz. Its hFE ranges from 10 to 60 depending on bias conditions (10 @ IC = 10 mA; 30–60 @ IC = 0.4 A), supporting both low-power drive and higher-current gain applications.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCEO | 400 V - Enables use as main switch in 380 V DC bus SMPS and electronic ballast output stages |
| IC (DC) | 3 A - Supports continuous conduction mode operation in 100–200 W power converters |
| VCE(sat) | 0.23–0.50 V @ IC/IB = 1 A/0.2 A - Minimizes conduction loss and self-heating during saturation |
| tON/tF | 1.0–2.0 µs / 0.3 µs - Enables stable switching at 100–500 kHz with controlled turn-off edge |
| EAS | 3.5 mJ @ L = 2 mH - Provides single-pulse avalanche capability for inductive load protection |
| RθJA | 100 °C/W - Requires heatsinking or PCB copper area for >0.8 W continuous dissipation |
| Cob | 45 pF @ VCB = 10 V - Limits Miller effect and gate drive requirements in hard-switched topologies |
Pinout & Package
Package: DPAK (TO-252), case 369AS, dimensions 6.10 × 6.54 × 2.29 mm, 4.57 mm lead pitch. Thermally enhanced surface-mount package with exposed drain-connected tab (Collector) for direct PCB heat transfer.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (Base) | Control input terminal | Receives base current to drive transistor into saturation; requires current-limited driver (max IB = 1 A DC) |
| 2 (Collector) | Main high-voltage current path | Connected to exposed metal tab; electrically and thermally coupled to PCB copper pour for heat dissipation |
| 3 (Emitter) | Low-side reference and current return | Serves as common emitter node; must be routed with low-inductance path to minimize switching noise |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Fast switching speed | Turn-on time as low as 1.0 µs enables efficient operation in 100–500 kHz SMPS designs |
| Wide Safe Operating Area (SOA) | Rated for simultaneous 400 V and 3 A without secondary breakdown-supports rugged flyback snubberless operation |
| High voltage capability | 1050 V BVCBO allows reliable use in high-impedance collector nodes and voltage multiplier stages |
| Avalanche energy rating | 3.5 mJ single-pulse EAS provides built-in inductive load protection without external clamping |
| Thermally optimized DPAK | Exposed collector tab enables direct thermal coupling to PCB, improving power handling over standard SOT-223 |
Applications

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Cost-optimized main switch replacing MOSFETs in <100 W non-isolated or basic isolated topologies. Use Value: VCE(sat) ≤ 0.5 V reduces conduction losses vs. comparable BJTs, improving efficiency at light loads. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar NPN high-voltage switching transistor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MJD5553T4G | DPAK package, identical electrical specs (400 V, 3 A, same SOA), but marked for tape-and-reel shipping per Mouser/Digi-Key stock | No functional difference; used interchangeably in production where reel packaging required | Select FJD5553TM when ordering 2500-piece tape-and-reel reels directly from onsemi distribution channels |
| BU508AF | Higher VCEO (1000 V), lower IC (1.5 A), TO-220 package, no avalanche rating specified | Better for ultra-high-voltage surge-prone inputs; unsuitable for 3 A continuous conduction mode | Choose BU508AF only if system requires >600 V blocking and can accept reduced current and larger footprint |
Compared with MJD5553T4G, FJD5553TM offers identical performance in DPAK with standardized reel packaging; versus BU508AF, FJD5553TM trades off voltage headroom for higher current, smaller size, and verified avalanche ruggedness-making it optimal for cost-sensitive, space-constrained 400 V SMPS.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous collector current rating for FJD5553TM?
The FJD5553TM is rated for 3 A DC collector current at TA = 25 °C. Derating is required above 25 °C ambient per the power derating curve (Figure 6); at 75 °C case temperature, maximum IC drops to ~1.8 A. This rating assumes proper PCB copper area for thermal conduction from the exposed collector tab.
Does FJD5553TM support avalanche operation, and what is its rated energy?
Yes, the FJD5553TM is specified for single-pulse avalanche operation with EAS = 3.5 mJ at L = 2 mH. This rating is measured under standardized test conditions and confirms ruggedness against inductive switching transients-enabling simplified snubber design in flyback and forward converters.
What is the pin configuration of FJD5553TM in the DPAK package?
The FJD5553TM uses a standard DPAK (TO-252) pinout: Pin 1 = Base, Pin 2 = Collector (connected to exposed metal tab), Pin 3 = Emitter. This matches JEDEC MO-220 and onsemi case 369AS mechanical drawings, and is confirmed by the marking diagram on page 1 of the datasheet.
How does the saturation voltage of FJD5553TM compare across operating conditions?
FJD5553TM exhibits VCE(sat) = 0.23–0.50 V at IC = 1 A and IB = 0.2 A, and VBE(sat) = 1.2 V under the same conditions. These values remain stable across −25 °C to +125 °C junction temperatures, supporting consistent conduction loss calculation in thermal design.
Is FJD5553TM suitable for use in 500 kHz switching applications?
FJD5553TM has tON = 1.0–2.0 µs and tF = 0.3 µs, making it viable for 500 kHz operation only in discontinuous conduction mode (DCM) or with significant dead-time margin. For continuous high-frequency operation, MOSFET alternatives may offer lower gate charge and faster transitions.
