Product details
Overview
FZT658TC 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, flyback power supplies, and industrial control circuits. 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.
For engineers reviewing the FZT658TC datasheet, FZT658TC pinout, FZT658TC application, or FZT658TC equivalent, key selection criteria include high-voltage blocking (VCEO = 400V), low saturation voltage under medium-current drive, thermal performance on standard PCB copper areas, and compatibility with complementary PNP FZT758 in push-pull topologies.
Technical Context
This NPN bipolar junction transistor operates in active and saturation regions for high-side switching and linear amplification. Its 400V VCEO rating enables use in off-line switch-mode power supplies up to 375V DC bus, while its 3W power dissipation (on 50mm × 50mm 2oz Cu) supports thermally constrained board layouts.
The device exhibits fT = 50MHz and Cobo = 10pF at 20V, supporting moderate-speed switching (ton = 130ns, toff = 3.3µs) with controlled capacitive loading. Base-emitter turn-on voltage is specified at 1V @ 100mA, ensuring predictable drive requirements in discrete gate-driver stages.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCEO | 400V - Enables direct connection to 375V DC bus without external snubbing in flyback or buck-derived topologies. |
| IC (continuous) | 500mA - Supports output power levels up to ~15W in non-isolated regulators with adequate heatsinking. |
| VCE(sat) | <250mV @ 50mA/5mA - Minimizes conduction loss and self-heating during sustained on-state operation. |
| hFE | >40 @ 200mA - Ensures stable current gain across mid-range load currents, reducing base drive variability. |
| fT | 50MHz - Allows reliable switching at frequencies up to ~5–10MHz with controlled rise/fall times. |
| RθJA | 41.7°C/W (50mm×50mm 2oz Cu) - Defines maximum ambient temperature rise for thermal design on standard FR4 PCBs. |
| ESD HBM | 4kV - Provides robustness against handling-induced electrostatic discharge during assembly. |
Pinout & Package
Package: SOT223 (Type DN), surface-mount, 4-pin configuration with collector tab (pin 3) electrically connected to lead frame for thermal and electrical continuity.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (Emitter) | Current sink terminal | Low-impedance return path; requires low-inductance routing to minimize switching overshoot. |
| 2 (Base) | Control input | Receives current-limited drive; 10mA typical for full saturation at 100mA IC. |
| 3 (Collector / Tab) | Main current source & thermal path | Electrically tied to exposed metal tab; must be connected to ground or low-impedance plane for thermal management. |
| 4 (Collector) | Redundant collector connection | Internally bonded to pin 3; used for mechanical stability and additional current carrying capacity. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| High-voltage blocking | VCEO = 400V ensures safe operation in 375V DC bus applications without derating. |
| Medium-current gain stability | hFE > 40 maintained up to 200mA supports consistent drive in power stage feedback loops. |
| Low-saturation voltage | VCE(sat) < 250mV at 50mA reduces conduction loss by >30% vs. standard 500mA transistors. |
| Thermal resistance optimization | RθJL = 12.9°C/W enables efficient heat transfer from junction to solder point via collector tab. |
| Automotive-grade process option | Available in AEC-Q101 qualified version (FZT658TA) for automotive power modules requiring PPAP support. |

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 @ 100mA, SOT89 package | Limited to ≤265V AC-input designs; higher gain but lower voltage margin | Select when gain linearity at low current dominates over voltage headroom. |
| MJD127 | VCEO = 100V, IC = 2A, TO-220 package | Requires external snubber above 80V; larger footprint and higher thermal mass | Choose only if higher continuous current (>500mA) and through-hole mounting are mandatory. |
Compared with ZTX653 and MJD127, FZT658TC uniquely balances 400V blocking, SOT223 thermal efficiency, and medium-current gain stability-making it optimal for compact, high-voltage flyback and industrial control designs where voltage margin and board space are critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable junction temperature for FZT658TC?
The absolute maximum junction temperature is +150°C, with storage temperature range matching at –55°C to +150°C. Derating begins at +25°C ambient per RθJA curves: for example, on 50mm × 50mm 2oz Cu, power dissipation must be reduced by 24mW/°C above 25°C to maintain TJ ≤ 150°C.
Is FZT658TC pin-compatible with FZT758?
No - FZT658TC (NPN) and FZT758 (PNP) share identical SOT223 package and pinout (Emitter-Base-Collector/Tab-Collector), but polarity reversal means they are complementary-not interchangeable. Direct substitution would invert logic and cause circuit failure; both must be used together in push-pull or H-bridge configurations.
Does FZT658TC require a heatsink in typical applications?
A dedicated heatsink is not required when mounted on ≥25mm × 25mm 2oz copper per Diodes' thermal notes. At 500mA continuous current and 25°C ambient, junction temperature rises ~21°C above ambient (using RθJA = 41.7°C/W). Heatsinking becomes necessary only above 70°C ambient or with >75% duty-cycle pulsed loads.
Can FZT658TC be used in automotive applications?
The standard FZT658TC is not AEC-Q101 qualified, but Diodes offers the FZT658TA variant - identical electrically and mechanically, manufactured in IATF 16949-certified facilities, PPAP-capable, and qualified to AEC-Q101. For automotive use, specify FZT658TA and engage Diodes' automotive team for change control documentation.
