Product details
Overview
FMMT555TC from Diodes Incorporated is a 150V PNP medium-power transistor in SOT23 package, rated for -1A continuous collector current and -150V collector-emitter breakdown voltage, with AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive reliability; used in high-voltage switching and load control circuits such as LED driver stages and power supply feedback loops.
For engineers reviewing the FMMT555TC datasheet, FMMT555TC pinout, FMMT555TC application, or FMMT555TC equivalent, key selection criteria include VCEO = -150V, IC = -1A, hFE ≥ 50 at -10mA, VCE(SAT) ≤ -300mV at -100mA/-10mA, and thermal resistance RθJA = 250°C/W under standard PCB mounting.
Technical Context
This PNP bipolar junction transistor operates in linear or saturated switching modes, supporting high-voltage off-state blocking (VCEO = -150V) and robust pulsed current handling (ICM = -2A). Its hFE ranges from 50 to 300 across IC = -10mA to -300mA, enabling stable current amplification in bias networks and discrete amplifier stages.
VBE(SAT) = -0.79V typical at -100mA/-10mA and fT = 100MHz ensure fast turn-on/turn-off behavior suitable for PWM-driven loads up to several hundred kHz, while Cobo = 10pF limits high-frequency coupling in noise-sensitive analog interfaces.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCEO | -150 V: Maximum safe collector-emitter voltage before avalanche conduction in open-base configuration. |
| IC | -1 A: Continuous DC collector current rating defining steady-state power stage capacity. |
| hFE | 50–300: DC current gain range enabling predictable base drive sizing across operating currents. |
| VCE(SAT) | -97 to -300 mV: Saturation voltage determining on-state power loss and thermal loading at IC = -100mA. |
| RθJA | 250 °C/W: Junction-to-ambient thermal resistance under standard FR-4 PCB mounting, guiding heatsinking requirements. |
| fT | 100 MHz: Transition frequency indicating usable bandwidth for small-signal amplification or high-speed switching. |
| ESD HBM | 4000 V: Human-body-model ESD tolerance ensuring robustness during board assembly and handling. |
Pinout & Package
SOT23 plastic surface-mount package with matte tin-plated leads, UL 94V-0 flammability rating, and moisture sensitivity level 1 per J-STD-020.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (Emitter) | Emission terminal for majority carriers | Reference node for base-emitter biasing; connects to higher potential in PNP operation. |
| 2 (Base) | Control electrode | Receives negative current to enable conduction; requires current-limiting resistor in most applications. |
| 3 (Collector) | Current collection terminal | Connects to load and supply return path; carries full switched current and dissipates heat via lead. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualified | Validated for automotive-grade temperature cycling (-55°C to +150°C), vibration, and humidity stress. |
| VCEO ≥ -150V | Enables use in 100V+ DC bus switching, including industrial power supplies and motor control feedback paths. |
| IC = -1A continuous | Supports direct driving of medium-power loads like relays, solenoids, and LED strings without external buffering. |
| Green, halogen-free construction | Meets RoHS 3 and JEDEC J-STD-020 Level 1 standards for environmental compliance and solderability. |
| Low VCE(SAT) | Reduces conduction losses below 30mW at 100mA, improving efficiency in battery-powered and thermally constrained designs. |
Applications
| Automotive Lighting Control | Industrial Power Supply Feedback |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Switching 24V LED arrays in headlamp or interior lighting modules. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: PNP high-side switch controlling current flow from battery rail to LED anode. Use Value: -150V VCEO provides margin against load-dump transients; -1A rating supports multi-string configurations. | Use Scenario: Error amplifier output stage in isolated flyback or forward converter feedback loop. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Discrete transistor amplifying optocoupler output to drive TL431 reference input. Use Value: hFE ≥ 50 ensures stable closed-loop regulation; low VCE(SAT) minimizes offset error at light loads. |
| DC Motor Brake Circuit | High-Voltage Sensor Interface |
Use Scenario: Dynamic braking of 48V BLDC motor phases during emergency stop. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Fast-turnoff PNP switch sinking phase current into ground through braking resistor. Use Value: fT = 100MHz enables sub-microsecond switching; -2A ICM handles short-duration regenerative surges. | Use Scenario: Level-shifting and isolation interface between 120V AC-sensing circuitry and 3.3V microcontroller GPIO. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-voltage PNP buffer isolating MCU from mains-referenced signal conditioning. Use Value: -160V VCBO withstands peak AC line voltages; Cobo = 10pF limits capacitive coupling noise injection. |
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| ZTX653 | VCEO = -100V, IC = -1A, hFE = 100–800, SOT23 package | Limited to ≤100V systems; higher hFE reduces base drive burden but lower voltage margin risks avalanche in 120V+ rails. | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs voltage derating needs and base drive current must be minimized. |
| MMBT5401 | VCEO = -160V, IC = -0.6A, hFE = 60–250, SOT23 package | Lower IC restricts use to ≤600mA loads; identical voltage rating allows drop-in replacement where current demand is reduced. | Choose for legacy designs requiring same footprint with relaxed current requirements and tighter hFE distribution. |
Compared with ZTX653 and MMBT5401, FMMT555TC uniquely balances -150V blocking, -1A current, and AEC-Q101 qualification-making it optimal for automotive and industrial 100–150V switching where reliability and voltage margin are non-negotiable.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable junction temperature for FMMT555TC?
The FMMT555TC has an operating junction temperature range of -55°C to +150°C. This upper limit is defined by its silicon process and packaging integrity, and must not be exceeded even transiently during pulse operation. Derating of power dissipation begins above +25°C ambient, following the RθJA = 250°C/W curve provided in the datasheet.
Is FMMT555TC pin-compatible with FMMT455?
No-FMMT555TC (PNP) and FMMT455 (NPN) are complementary devices with identical SOT23 pinout (Emitter-Base-Collector), but opposite polarity and biasing requirements. Their electrical characteristics differ significantly: FMMT455 has VCEO = +150V and IC = +1A, making them functionally matched but not interchangeable without circuit redesign.
Does FMMT555TC require a heatsink in standard SOT23 mounting?
Under standard conditions (15mm × 15mm 1oz copper pad on FR-4), no external heatsink is required for ≤300mW power dissipation. At its rated 500mW PD, junction temperature rise reaches 125°C above ambient-so heatsinking or enhanced copper area is needed for sustained operation near maximum ratings, especially above +70°C ambient.
Can FMMT555TC be used in linear amplifier configurations?
Yes-its hFE stability (50–300) and fT = 100MHz support Class-A and AB small-signal amplification, particularly in high-input-impedance PNP emitter-follower or differential pair stages. However, thermal limitations and lack of guaranteed linearity specs mean it's optimized for switching; precision analog use requires individual unit characterization.
