Product details
Overview
FJP3305H2 from ON Semiconductor is a high-voltage, fast-switching NPN power transistor in TO-220 package, rated for 400 V VCEO, 4 A DC collector current, and 75 W power dissipation at TC = 25°C. It delivers hFE of 26–35 at IC = 2 A and VCE = 5 V, with tON/tSTG/tF of 0.8/4.0/0.9 ms under specified switching conditions, and is used in electronic ballasts and offline switching regulators.
For engineers reviewing the FJP3305H2 datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include its 400 V breakdown rating, 4 A continuous current capability, TO-220 thermal performance, hFE classification H2 (26–35), and suitability for high-voltage flyback and resonant lamp control circuits.
Technical Context
The FJP3305H2 is a silicon planar epitaxial NPN bipolar junction transistor optimized for high-voltage switching in inductive load applications. Its design emphasizes low saturation voltage (VCE(sat) = 0.6 V at IC = 2 A, IB = 0.5 A) and controlled switching timing (tSTG = 4.0 ms dominant), enabling stable operation in 20–50 kHz electronic ballast drivers.
It features a reverse-biased safe operating area (RBSOA) rated to 500 V and 2 A for 5 ms pulses, and forward-biased SOA supporting 4 A DC at VCE ≤ 20 V with proper heatsinking. Cob = 65 pF at VCB = 10 V enables predictable gate drive interaction in half-bridge configurations.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCEO | 400 V - Supports operation in 230 VAC mains-derived topologies with ≥100% safety margin |
| IC (DC) | 4 A - Sustains continuous conduction in 60–100 W ballast and SMPS output stages |
| PC @ TC = 25°C | 75 W - Requires minimum 1.5°C/W heatsink for 50°C ambient, TO-220 footprint |
| hFE (H2 grade) | 26–35 @ VCE = 5 V, IC = 2 A - Enables stable base drive design with 0.5 A peak IB for 2 A IC |
| tSTG | 4.0 ms @ VCC = 125 V, IC = 2 A - Dominant storage time limits max switching frequency to ~50 kHz in hard-switched apps |
| Cob | 65 pF @ VCB = 10 V, f = 1 MHz - Defines Miller capacitance impact on turn-off dv/dt and gate driver loading |
Pinout & Package
Package: TO-220AB (JEDEC standard, 3-lead, through-hole, isolated tab). Pin 1 = Base, Pin 2 = Collector (tab-connected), Pin 3 = Emitter.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (Base) | Control input | Receives current-limited drive signal; requires ≥0.5 A peak for full saturation at IC = 2 A |
| 2 (Collector) | High-side switched node | Internally connected to metal tab; must be electrically isolated from heatsink unless common-collector config |
| 3 (Emitter) | Reference return path | Serves as current sink reference; layout must minimize inductance to avoid switching oscillation |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| High VCEO rating | 400 V enables direct use in 230 VAC rectified bus (≈325 VDC) with 23% margin for transients |
| H2 hFE binning | Guaranteed 26–35 gain ensures consistent base drive requirements across production lots |
| Low VCE(sat) | 0.6 V @ IC = 2 A reduces conduction loss to <1.2 W, improving thermal efficiency in linear-regulated stages |
| Controlled tSTG | 4.0 ms storage time supports reliable zero-voltage switching (ZVS) initiation in resonant ballast designs |
| TO-220 thermal interface | Tab-mounted collector allows direct heatsink mounting with thermal resistance as low as 1.0°C/W (with compound) |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-voltage NPN switching transistor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MJD3305G | Same die, DPAK package (surface-mount); lower PC = 35 W; no isolated tab | Requires PCB copper area for thermal management; unsuitable for >2 A continuous without forced air | Select when space-constrained PCB layout favors SMT and power <25 W |
| FJP3305T | Identical specs, TO-220F (full-pack) variant with insulated tab; same hFE H2 bin | Enables direct heatsink mounting without insulator kit; identical electrical behavior | Select when mechanical isolation from heatsink is required without additional hardware |
Compared with MJD3305G and FJP3305T, the FJP3305H2 offers the highest power handling (75 W) in a standard TO-220AB package with non-insulated tab-making it optimal for legacy through-hole designs where thermal mass and ease of heatsink attachment are prioritized over SMT density or insulation.

FAQ
What is the hFE range for FJP3305H2?
The FJP3305H2 is binned to the H2 gain group, guaranteeing a DC current gain (hFE) of 26 to 35 when measured at VCE = 5 V and IC = 2 A. This tighter specification than the base FJP3305 (H1: 19–28) improves consistency in base drive design across production units. The FJP3305H2 datasheet confirms this classification on page 2 under "hFE Classification".
Is FJP3305H2 still recommended for new designs?
No-FJP3305H2 is marked DISCONTINUED and NOT RECOMMENDED FOR NEW DESIGN per the official ON Semiconductor datasheet revision 2. While active inventory remains available at Aetrix Electronics for legacy repair and continuity support, ON Semiconductor advises contacting their representative for approved replacements. The FJP3305H2 remains fully functional and supported for existing production runs.
What is the maximum allowable case temperature for FJP3305H2?
The FJP3305H2 has a maximum junction temperature (TJ) of 150°C and a storage temperature range of –65°C to +150°C. Its thermal derating curve (Figure 11) shows linear reduction of PC above 25°C case temperature, reaching 0 W at TC = 175°C. For reliable operation, keep TC ≤ 100°C using appropriate heatsinking. The FJP3305H2 datasheet specifies these limits in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table on page 1.
Does FJP3305H2 have an insulated tab?
No-the FJP3305H2 uses the standard TO-220AB package with a non-insulated metal tab electrically connected to the collector (Pin 2). Electrical isolation from the heatsink requires a mica or silicone insulator kit plus shoulder washers. For insulated-tab alternatives, consider the FJP3305T (TO-220F) variant, which shares identical electrical specs but features a fully insulated package. This distinction is documented in the package outline drawing on page 5 of the FJP3305H2 datasheet.
What are the key switching timing parameters of FJP3305H2?
The FJP3305H2 specifies tON = 0.8 ms, tSTG = 4.0 ms, and tF = 0.9 ms under test conditions of VCC = 125 V, IC = 2 A, RL = 62.5 Ω, and IB1 = –IB2 = 0.4 A. Storage time (tSTG) dominates total switching delay, limiting practical hard-switching frequency to ≤50 kHz. These values are confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 2 of the FJP3305H2 datasheet.
