Product details
Overview
FMMT558QTA from Diodes Incorporated is a 400V PNP high-voltage transistor in SOT23 package, designed for off-line switching and high-side switching applications requiring robust voltage blocking. It delivers -150mA continuous collector current, -400V VCEO, and 500mW power dissipation, with hFE up to 300 at -100mA - used in flyback snubber circuits, relay drivers, and industrial power supply hold-up stages.
For engineers reviewing the FMMT558QTA datasheet, FMMT558QTA pinout, FMMT558QTA application, or FMMT558QTA equivalent, key selection criteria include verified -400V breakdown rating, SOT23 thermal performance under pulsed loads, complementary pairing with FMMT458, and automotive-grade variant availability (FMMT558Q).
Technical Context
This PNP bipolar junction transistor operates in linear or saturated switching mode with guaranteed -400V collector-emitter breakdown and -7V emitter-base limit. Its fT of 50MHz supports fast turn-off in high-frequency snubbers, while VCE(sat) ≤ -500mV at -50mA/-6mA ensures low conduction loss in high-side driver configurations.
Thermal design relies on RθJA = 250°C/W (15mm × 15mm FR4, 1oz Cu), and transient capability is defined by SOA curves up to 100μs pulses. The device uses matte tin-plated leads and complies with RoHS 3, halogen-free, and antimony-free "Green" standards.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCEO | -400V - Enables direct use in 380V DC bus and 230V AC line-referenced circuits without external clamping. |
| IC (cont.) | -150mA - Supports relay coils, small solenoids, and auxiliary power rail switching in compact designs. |
| PD | 500mW - Requires minimal PCB copper area (15mm × 15mm) for thermal management in space-constrained SOT23 layouts. |
| hFE | 100–300 - Ensures reliable base drive margin across -1mA to -100mA operating range for stable saturation control. |
| VCE(sat) | ≤ -500mV @ -50mA/-6mA - Minimizes power loss and self-heating during sustained on-state operation. |
| fT | 50MHz - Allows clean switching in flyback snubbers and resonant gate drivers up to ~5MHz effective frequency. |
| toff | 1600ns - Defines maximum usable switching frequency in hard-switched topologies with controlled fall time. |
Pinout & Package
Package: SOT23 (Type DN), surface-mount, molded green plastic, UL 94V-0 rated, 0.008g weight. Moisture sensitivity level 1 per J-STD-020.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (Emitter) | E | High-side reference node; connects to positive rail in common-emitter switch configuration. |
| 2 (Base) | B | Current-controlled input; requires negative bias relative to emitter to turn on. |
| 3 (Collector) | C | Switched output node; sinks current to load when saturated, referenced to ground or lower potential. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| High voltage blocking | Guaranteed -400V VCEO enables direct interface with rectified mains without external TVS or Zener clamping. |
| Robust pulse handling | ICM = -500mA peak allows short-duration surge tolerance in inductive load switching and ESD protection paths. |
| Stable gain over current range | hFE ≥ 100 at -1mA and ≥ 15 at -100mA ensures predictable base drive sizing across full load range. |
| Lead-free & green compliance | Fully RoHS 3 compliant, halogen- and antimony-free, meeting automotive and industrial environmental mandates. |
Applications
| Industrial Power Supply Snubber | AC Line Voltage Monitor |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar PNP high-voltage switching applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ZTX653 | VCEO = -300V, IC = -1A, SOT89 package | Higher current but lower voltage rating; requires larger footprint and heatsinking | Select when >-150mA load current is needed and -300V suffices; not suitable for 380V DC bus. |
| FMMT558Q | Automotive-grade AEC-Q101 qualified, identical electrical specs, same SOT23 package | Validated for automotive temperature cycling (-40°C to +150°C) and humidity testing | Choose for automotive body electronics or industrial systems requiring extended reliability validation. |
Compared with ZTX653 and FMMT558Q, the FMMT558QTA provides optimal balance of -400V rating, SOT23 compactness, and industrial-grade reliability - making it preferred for space-constrained off-line power interfaces where voltage margin is critical and automotive qualification is unnecessary.

FAQ
What is the maximum safe operating voltage for FMMT558QTA in continuous DC conditions?
The absolute maximum collector-emitter voltage (VCEO) is -400V at TA = +25°C. Derating applies above 25°C: RθJA = 250°C/W limits junction temperature rise, so continuous DC operation above -320V requires active cooling or reduced ambient temperature to maintain TJ ≤ +150°C.
Can FMMT558QTA replace FMMT558 in existing designs?
Yes - FMMT558QTA is the tape-and-reel packaged version of FMMT558 with identical electrical specifications, SOT23 (Type DN) mechanical outline, and marking code "558". The "QTA" suffix denotes 3000-unit reel packaging; no circuit or layout changes are required for drop-in replacement.
How does FMMT558QTA's hFE behave at high collector currents?
hFE is specified as minimum 15 at -100mA and -10V VCE. At -150mA, hFE drops further but remains sufficient for forced beta ≥ 10 with appropriate base drive. Figure 7 in DS33101 shows hFE degrades gradually beyond -100mA, supporting predictable saturation design up to rated IC.
Is FMMT558QTA suitable for automotive applications?
The standard FMMT558QTA is not AEC-Q101 qualified. For automotive use, Diodes offers the FMMT558Q variant - identical electrically and mechanically but subjected to extended temperature cycling, humidity testing, and failure analysis per AEC-Q101. Use FMMT558Q for under-hood or infotainment power modules.
