Product details
Overview
FZT658TA from Diodes Incorporated is a 400V NPN high-voltage transistor in SOT223 package, designed for switching and linear regulation in high-voltage DC-DC converters and industrial power supplies. It delivers 500mA continuous collector current, supports 1A peak pulse current, achieves VCE(sat) < 250mV at 50mA/5mA drive, and maintains hFE > 40 up to 200mA - enabling robust high-voltage hold-up and flyback primary-side switching.
For engineers reviewing the FZT658TA datasheet, FZT658TA pinout, FZT658TA application, or FZT658TA equivalent, key selection criteria include verified 400V VCEO rating, SOT223 thermal performance (RθJA = 41.7°C/W on 50mm × 50mm 2oz Cu), low saturation voltage under real drive conditions, and complementary PNP pairing with FZT758TA for push-pull topologies.
Technical Context
This NPN bipolar junction transistor operates in active and saturation regions for high-voltage switching applications. Its 400V VCEO and 400V VCBO ratings support operation in off-line SMPS primary circuits and industrial HV bias rails. The device sustains 500mA continuous current with thermal resistance optimized for SOT223 mounting on PCB copper areas.
Electrical behavior is characterized by hFE ≥ 40 at IC = 200mA/VCE = 10V, fT = 50MHz at VCE = 20V/IC = 10mA, and fast switching with ton = 130ns and toff = 3.3µs under specified test conditions (IC = 100mA, VCC = 100V).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCEO | 400 V - Enables direct use in 380V DC bus and 230V AC rectified primary-side switching without derating. |
| IC (continuous) | 500 mA - Supports medium-power flyback and forward converter output stages with margin for transient loads. |
| VCE(sat) | < 250 mV @ 50mA/5mA - Reduces conduction loss and self-heating in linear regulator and saturated-switch modes. |
| hFE | > 40 @ 200mA - Ensures stable base drive requirements and predictable gain in high-current amplification. |
| fT | 50 MHz - Supports switching frequencies up to ~5–10 MHz in small-signal amplifier or RF driver roles. |
| RθJA | 41.7 °C/W - Achieved with 50mm × 50mm 2oz Cu pad; enables 3W dissipation at ≤ 125°C junction rise in still air. |
| ESD HBM | 4000 V - Provides handling robustness during PCB assembly and system integration without extra protection. |
Pinout & Package
Package: SOT223 (Type DN), surface-mount, 4-pin configuration with collector tab (pin 3) electrically connected to lead frame for enhanced thermal transfer. Molded green compound, RoHS-compliant matte tin plating, moisture sensitivity level 1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 (Emitter) | Current sink terminal | Low-impedance path for emitter current return; connects to ground or reference node in common-emitter configurations. |
| Pin 2 (Base) | Control input | Receives forward-biased current to drive transistor into saturation or active region; requires current-limiting resistor in discrete driver designs. |
| Pin 3 (Collector / Tab) | Main power output | High-voltage collector node; metal tab provides thermal conduction path to PCB copper; electrically tied to collector. |
| Pin 4 (Collector) | Collector extension | Secondary collector connection for improved current sharing and reduced bond wire inductance in high-dI/dt switching. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 400V breakdown rating | Validated VCEO and VCBO ≥ 400V ensures safe operation in 380V DC link and 230V AC-derived supplies. |
| Low VCE(sat) | < 250mV at 50mA/5mA drive reduces power loss and improves efficiency in saturated-switch applications. |
| High hFE at 200mA | hFE > 40 up to 200mA simplifies base drive design and minimizes required gate/base driver current. |
| SOT223 thermal performance | RθJL = 12.9°C/W to lead enables efficient heat transfer to PCB copper, supporting 3W continuous dissipation. |
| Complementary PNP pair | FZT758TA shares identical SOT223 footprint and voltage/current specs, enabling matched push-pull and H-bridge designs. |
Applications
| Industrial Flyback Converters | High-Voltage Bias Supplies |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Primary-side switch in 20–60W offline flyback converters powering PLC I/O modules and sensor interfaces. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-voltage NPN switch controlling energy transfer across transformer primary winding during PWM on-time.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Linear pass transistor in series-regulated HV bias supply, operating in active region for ripple suppression. Use Value: Stable hFE > 40 at 200mA ensures predictable base current and tight output regulation under load transients. |
| Capacitor Discharge Ignition (CDI) | LED Driver Hold-Up Circuits |
Use Scenario: Energy-switching transistor in motorcycle and small-engine CDI systems requiring fast turn-off and high-voltage isolation. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-speed switch discharging stored capacitor into ignition coil primary; driven by narrow base pulses. Use Value: toff = 3.3µs enables precise spark timing control; 4000V HBM ESD rating withstands ignition-induced transients. | Use Scenario: Hold-up transistor maintaining LED string current during brief AC line dips in commercial lighting ballasts. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Saturated switch bypassing current around buck controller during brownout events. Use Value: 1A ICM supports 2× peak LED current surges; low VCE(sat) limits voltage drop to <0.3V during hold-up. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-voltage NPN transistor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ZTX653 | VCEO = 300V, hFE = 100 min @ 10mA, SOT89 package | Limited to ≤ 300V systems; higher gain at low current but degrades above 100mA | Select only if voltage stress remains below 260V and thermal budget allows smaller SOT89 footprint. |
| MJD127 | VCEO = 100V, IC = 2A, TO-220 package, lower VCE(sat) = 1.5V | Not suitable for >100V applications; requires heatsink for >1W dissipation | Use only in low-voltage, high-current linear regulators where 400V capability is unnecessary. |
Compared with ZTX653 and MJD127, FZT658TA uniquely balances 400V capability, SOT223 thermal efficiency, and usable gain at 200mA - making it optimal for compact, medium-power HV switching where voltage margin and board space are critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable junction temperature for FZT658TA?
The FZT658TA has an operating junction temperature range of –55°C to +150°C. Continuous operation at 150°C requires strict thermal design: RθJA must be ≤ 41.7°C/W with 50mm × 50mm 2oz Cu, and ambient temperature must remain ≤ 25°C. Derating is mandatory above 25°C ambient per the thermal curves in DS33153 Rev. 7–2.
Can FZT658TA replace a MOSFET in high-voltage switching applications?
FZT658TA can replace low-speed, medium-current MOSFETs in applications where gate drive complexity, cost, or layout space is constrained - but not in high-frequency (>100kHz) or zero-voltage-switching topologies. Its 3.3µs toff and bipolar drive requirement limit switching speed versus MOSFETs, though its 400V rating and SOT223 footprint offer advantages in space-constrained linear or quasi-resonant designs.
Is FZT658TA qualified for automotive applications?
FZT658TA is not AEC-Q101 qualified. Diodes states that automotive-grade versions require specific change control, PPAP capability, and IATF 16949 manufacturing - which this standard part does not include. For automotive use, engineers must contact Diodes directly to request qualified variants; FZT658TA is intended for industrial, commercial, and consumer power applications.
How does the dual-collector pin (pins 3 and 4) function in SOT223?
Pins 3 and 4 are both electrically connected to the collector. Pin 3 is the large metal tab providing primary thermal conduction to the PCB; pin 4 is a secondary lead offering mechanical stability and reduced bond-wire inductance. Both must be routed to the same net - typically a high-current, low-impedance collector trace - and both contribute to current-carrying capacity and thermal dissipation in parallel.
