Product details
Overview
FZT593TA from Diodes Incorporated is a 100V PNP medium-power bipolar junction transistor in SOT223 package, rated for -1A continuous collector current and -100V collector-emitter breakdown voltage, with low saturation voltage (VCE(sat) = -0.2 V at IC = -250 mA, IB = -25 mA), used in high-voltage linear regulators and industrial power switching circuits.
For engineers reviewing the FZT593TA datasheet, FZT593TA pinout, FZT593TA application, or FZT593TA equivalent, key selection criteria include verified BVCEO ≥ -100 V, thermal resistance RθJA = 41.7 °C/W on 50 mm × 50 mm 2 oz copper, complementary pairing with FZT493, and AEC-Q101 readiness for automotive-grade designs.
Technical Context
The FZT593TA operates as a high-voltage PNP switch with DC current gain (hFE) of 100–300 across IC = -1 mA to -1 A at VCE = -5 V, supporting stable amplification and switching in demanding bias conditions. Its fT = 50 MHz enables moderate-frequency signal handling in driver stages.
Thermal performance is defined by RθJL = 19.4 °C/W (junction-to-lead) and derated power dissipation down to 1.2 W under minimum pad layout - critical for PCB-level thermal design in space-constrained industrial modules.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCEO | -100 V - Ensures safe operation in 80 V rail systems with margin against transients |
| IC (cont.) | -1 A - Supports medium-power load switching without forced cooling |
| VCE(sat) | -0.2 V @ IC = -250 mA - Minimizes conduction loss in linear regulator pass elements |
| hFE | 100–300 - Enables predictable base drive sizing across operating range |
| fT | 50 MHz - Suitable for audio amplifier drivers and PWM gate buffers |
| RθJA | 41.7 °C/W - Requires ≥50 mm × 50 mm 2 oz copper for full 3.0 W dissipation |
Pinout & Package
Package: SOT223 (Type DN), surface-mount, 4-pin configuration with collector tab (pin 1), emitter (pin 2), base (pin 3), and collector (pin 4). Molded plastic housing with matte tin-plated leads; UL 94V-0 rating.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 (Collector Tab) | Main collector connection + thermal path | Electrically and thermally connected to internal collector; soldered to large copper pour for heat dissipation |
| Pin 2 (Emitter) | Emitting terminal for PNP current flow | Connected to circuit ground or low-side reference in high-side switch configurations |
| Pin 3 (Base) | Control input for transistor turn-on/off | Requires negative base current relative to emitter to saturate; compatible with standard logic-level drivers |
| Pin 4 (Collector) | Secondary collector connection | Internally tied to Pin 1; provides redundant current path and mechanical stability |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| High BVCEO | -100 V rating supports 72 V battery systems and industrial 100 V bus applications |
| Low VCE(sat) | -0.2 V at moderate current reduces power loss by >40% vs. legacy PNP transistors |
| Complementary pair | FZT493 NPN counterpart enables matched push-pull output stages |
| AEC-Q101 capable | Qualified for automotive use with PPAP support and IATF 16949 manufacturing |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| MJD5753T4G | VCEO = -100 V, IC = -1 A, but RθJA = 62.5 °C/W (25 mm × 25 mm 2 oz Cu); no AEC-Q101 qualification | Limited to non-automotive industrial use due to lack of automotive qualification and higher thermal resistance | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs thermal performance and automotive compliance requirements |
| BCP53-16 | VCEO = -45 V, IC = -1 A, hFE = 100–250; smaller SOT-223 variant with lower voltage rating | Not suitable for >60 V systems; requires redesign for 80 V bus compatibility | Choose only for legacy 24/48 V designs where voltage margin is sufficient and footprint compatibility is critical |
Compared with MJD5753T4G and BCP53-16, FZT593TA delivers superior thermal performance on standard PCB layouts and automotive-grade reliability - essential for high-voltage, high-reliability industrial and vehicle subsystems.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous collector current for FZT593TA?
The FZT593TA is rated for -1 A continuous collector current at TA = +25°C with proper PCB thermal management (50 mm × 50 mm 2 oz copper). Derating applies above +25°C ambient per the published thermal curve - e.g., ~1.6 W max at +70°C ambient on same layout.
Is FZT593TA qualified for automotive applications?
Yes - FZT593TA is AEC-Q101 qualified, manufactured in IATF 16949 certified facilities, and supports PPAP documentation. It meets automotive transient immunity requirements including load dump (ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a) due to its -100 V VCEO rating and robust construction.
How does the SOT223 (Type DN) package improve thermal performance?
The SOT223 (Type DN) package features an exposed collector tab (Pin 1) that serves as both electrical connection and primary thermal path. When soldered to ≥50 mm × 50 mm 2 oz copper, it achieves RθJA = 41.7 °C/W - enabling full 3.0 W power dissipation without heatsinks in compact industrial modules.
What is the complementary NPN part for FZT593TA?
The officially designated complementary NPN transistor is FZT493, sharing identical SOT223 (Type DN) packaging, voltage ratings (VCEO = +100 V), current capability (+1 A), and thermal characteristics. This pairing enables matched push-pull output stages and H-bridge driver designs with balanced switching behavior.
