Product details
Overview
FZT560QTA from Diodes Incorporated is a 500V PNP high-voltage transistor in SOT223 package, rated for -500V VCEO, -150mA continuous collector current, and -500mA peak pulse current. It serves as a high-reliability switching element in automotive power supplies, industrial HV DC-DC converters, and offline AC-DC auxiliary rails where robust voltage blocking and AEC-Q101 compliance are required.
For engineers reviewing the FZT560QTA datasheet, FZT560QTA pinout, FZT560QTA application, or FZT560QTA equivalent, key selection criteria include verified -500V breakdown rating, thermal resistance of 41.7°C/W on 50mm×50mm copper, AEC-Q101 qualification, and SOT223 lead-frame thermal performance under pulsed switching conditions.
Technical Context
This PNP bipolar junction transistor operates with emitter-grounded configuration in high-side switch or linear regulator topologies. Its -500V VCEO and -500V VCBO enable direct use in 400V DC bus interfaces without cascading, while its 60MHz fT supports fast turn-off (1.5µs) in flyback snubber or gate-driving applications.
The device delivers -200mV VCE(sat) at -20mA/-2mA drive and -500mV at -50mA/-10mA, with hFE ranging 15–300 across -1mA to -100mA IC. Its J-STD-020 Level 1 moisture sensitivity and matte tin-plated leads ensure compatibility with standard reflow profiles and long-term solder joint integrity.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCEO | -500 V - Blocks full 400V DC bus with 25% margin; eliminates need for series stacking in auxiliary supply designs. |
| IC (cont.) | -150 mA - Supports sustained load currents up to 150mA in low-power HV bias rails or sensor excitation circuits. |
| fT | 60 MHz - Enables stable operation in 1–5MHz snubber oscillator or fast-switching linear regulator feedback paths. |
| VCE(sat) | -500 mV @ -50mA/-10mA - Limits conduction loss to ≤25mW at rated current, critical for thermally constrained SOT223 layouts. |
| RθJA | 41.7 °C/W - Achievable only with 50mm×50mm 2oz copper; defines minimum PCB copper area for 3W steady-state dissipation. |
| ESD HBM | 4,000 V - Meets IEC 61000-4-2 Level 3 for system-level ESD immunity in automotive cabin modules. |
Pinout & Package
Package: SOT223 (Type ZN), molded green plastic, UL 94V-0 rated, 0.112g weight, matte tin-plated leads.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Collector (C) | High-voltage output node | Connected to HV rail (e.g., 400V DC bus); carries full load current and withstands -500V reverse bias. |
| Emitter (E) | Reference/return path | Typically tied to ground or low-side return; must handle full IC with minimal trace inductance. |
| Base (B) | Control input | Receives negative drive current (-2mA to -10mA); requires current-limiting resistor to prevent overdrive. |
| Collector Tab (exposed pad) | Thermal & electrical connection | Internally connected to collector; must be soldered to ≥25mm² copper for RθJL = 14.8°C/W thermal path. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualified | Validated for automotive powertrain and body electronics per stress test requirements including HTOL, TC, and UHAST. |
| -500V BVCEO | Enables single-device isolation in 380–450V DC systems without external voltage dividers or cascode arrangements. |
| SOT223 thermal performance | 3W power dissipation capability with 50mm×50mm copper enables compact HV bias supply designs without heatsinks. |
| Lead-free & halogen-free | Complies with RoHS 3 and JEDEC J-STD-020 Level 1; eliminates post-reflow cleaning and supports no-clean processes. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-voltage PNP transistor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ZTX653 | VCEO = -300V; hFE min = 100 @ -10mA; SOT89 package | Limited to ≤300V systems; lower thermal mass reduces safe operating area at high pulse duty cycles | Select when board space is constrained and voltage stress remains below 250V. |
| MJD2955T4G | VCEO = -60V; IC = -10A; TO-220 package; no AEC-Q101 | Not suitable for >100V applications; requires heatsink even at 1A; lacks automotive qualification | Use only in non-automotive, low-voltage, high-current linear regulators where thermal design permits TO-220 mounting. |
Compared with ZTX653 and MJD2955T4G, FZT560QTA uniquely combines -500V rating, AEC-Q101 compliance, and SOT223 thermal scalability-making it the only option for space-constrained, high-reliability 400V auxiliary supplies in automotive and medical equipment.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable PCB copper area needed to achieve the 3W power rating?
The 3W rating requires mounting on 50mm × 50mm of 2oz copper per the datasheet's Note 6. This area must be solid, unbroken, and directly connected to the exposed collector tab via multiple thermal vias. Smaller copper areas reduce derated power: 25mm × 25mm supports only 2W under still-air conditions.
Is FZT560QTA suitable for linear regulator applications with >100mA load current?
Yes, but only with strict thermal management. At -150mA IC, VCE(sat) reaches -500mV, generating 75mW conduction loss. Combined with switching losses in dynamic operation, total dissipation must stay within the 3W limit-requiring ≥50mm² copper and ambient temperature ≤70°C.
Does the AEC-Q101 qualification cover PPAP submission support?
Yes-the datasheet explicitly states the part is PPAP capable. Diodes provides full PPAP documentation packages including dimensional reports, material certifications, process flow diagrams, and control plans upon request through authorized distributors or direct sales channels.
Can FZT560QTA replace FZT560 in existing designs?
Yes, FZT560QTA is the automotive-qualified version of FZT560, sharing identical electrical specs and SOT223 mechanical form factor. The "Q" suffix denotes AEC-Q101 qualification, PPAP capability, and IATF 16949 manufacturing-no layout or schematic changes are needed for drop-in replacement in new automotive designs.
