Product details
Overview
FZT7053TA from Diodes Incorporated is a 100V NPN Darlington transistor in SOT223 package, designed for high-voltage switching with BVCEO ≥ 100 V, continuous collector current IC = 1.5 A, and DC current gain hFE > 10,000 at 100 mA - used in relay and solenoid driver circuits requiring high gain and robust voltage blocking.
For engineers reviewing the FZT7053TA datasheet, FZT7053TA pinout, FZT7053TA application, or FZT7053TA equivalent, key selection criteria include verified VCEO/VCBO ratings, thermal resistance (RθJA = 62 °C/W on 50 mm × 50 mm PCB), saturation voltage (VCE(sat) ≤ 1.5 V @ 100 mA), and automotive-grade qualification readiness per AEC-Q101.
Technical Context
This Darlington pair integrates two NPN transistors in cascade to deliver ultra-high DC current gain while maintaining 100 V breakdown capability across both collector-base and collector-emitter terminals. It operates with low base drive requirements due to hFE > 10 k at IC = 100 mA and supports pulse currents up to 2 A.
Thermal performance is defined across three PCB mounting conditions: RθJA = 125 °C/W (15 mm × 14 mm), 100 °C/W (25 mm × 25 mm), and 62 °C/W (50 mm × 50 mm), enabling precise power derating in industrial control layouts where ambient temperature exceeds 85 °C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCEO | 100 V minimum - ensures safe operation in 48 V and 72 V industrial bus systems with margin against transients |
| IC (continuous) | 1.5 A - supports direct driving of 12 V/24 V relays and small solenoids without external heat sinking |
| hFE | >10,000 @ IC = 100 mA - reduces required base drive current to <10 µA for full turn-on, easing MCU GPIO interface |
| VCE(sat) | ≤1.5 V @ IC = 100 mA, IB = 0.1 mA - limits conduction loss to <150 mW, critical for thermally constrained PCBs |
| fT | 200 MHz - enables fast switching in PWM-controlled lamp dimming applications up to ~50 kHz |
| RθJA | 62 °C/W on 50 mm × 50 mm 1 oz Cu - allows 1 W dissipation at TA = 88 °C before reaching 150 °C junction limit |
Pinout & Package
Package: SOT223 (Type DN), surface-mount, 4-terminal configuration with emitter, base, collector, and collector tab (pin 3). Molded green plastic housing, UL 94V-0 rated, 0.112 g weight.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 (Emitter) | Emitter connection of Darlington pair | Low-impedance return path; tied directly to ground plane in high-current solenoid drivers |
| Pin 2 (Base) | Input control terminal | Accepts logic-level drive; requires only 0.1 mA base current to saturate 100 mA collector load |
| Pin 3 (Collector / Tab) | Main output and thermal path | Electrically connected to metal tab; must be soldered to large copper area for thermal management |
| Pin 4 (Collector) | Secondary collector connection | Parallel collector path to Pin 3; improves current sharing and reduces effective RDS(on) in high-IC operation |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-high DC gain | hFE > 10,000 @ 100 mA enables direct microcontroller GPIO drive without buffer stages |
| 100 V breakdown rating | BVCEO and BVCBO ≥ 100 V support use in 48 V battery systems with ISO 7637-2 transient immunity |
| SOT223 thermal performance | RθJL = 19.4 °C/W to lead allows efficient heat transfer to PCB copper when tab is soldered |
| Lead-free & green compliance | RoHS 3 compliant, halogen- and antimony-free (<900 ppm Br/Cl, <1000 ppm Sb) for automotive and industrial environmental mandates |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-voltage Darlington transistor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ZTX1051A | VCEO = 100 V, hFE = 5,000–15,000 @ IC = 100 mA, SOT223 package | Lower typical hFE and no AEC-Q101 qualification path; suited for non-automotive cost-sensitive designs | Select when base drive margin is sufficient and automotive qualification is not required |
| MJD127 | VCEO = 100 V, IC = 2 A, TO-220 package, hFE = 1,000–8,000 @ IC = 1 A | Higher current but larger footprint and lower gain; requires heatsink above 0.5 A continuous | Choose for higher IC needs where board space permits TO-220 mounting |
Compared with ZTX1051A and MJD127, FZT7053TA delivers superior gain-to-package-size ratio and automotive-ready process controls, making it optimal for space-constrained, high-reliability 12–48 V switching where minimal base drive and thermal efficiency are prioritized.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous collector current for FZT7053TA?
The FZT7053TA supports a continuous collector current (IC) of 1.5 A at TA = +25°C with appropriate PCB copper area. Derating applies above 25°C ambient; for example, at 85°C ambient, max IC drops to approximately 0.9 A when mounted on a 50 mm × 50 mm 1 oz Cu pad per the 62 °C/W RθJA specification.
Is FZT7053TA qualified for automotive applications?
FZT7053TA is manufactured in IATF 16949-certified facilities and supports AEC-Q101 qualification upon request with controlled change management and PPAP documentation. While not pre-qualified out-of-box, Diodes provides full automotive change control pathways for customers requiring certified components in body electronics and chassis systems.
How does the SOT223 pinout differ between FZT7053TA and standard SOT223 transistors?
FZT7053TA uses Type DN SOT223 pinout: Pin 1 = Emitter, Pin 2 = Base, Pin 3 = Collector (tab), Pin 4 = Collector (second lead). This 4-pin layout differs from 3-pin SOT223 variants by duplicating the collector connection to improve current handling and thermal conduction - critical for sustained 1.5 A operation.
What is the typical VCE(sat) under real-world switching conditions?
VCE(sat) is specified as ≤1.5 V at IC = 100 mA and IB = 0.1 mA. In practice, measured values range from 1.1 V to 1.4 V under those conditions, with slight increase to ~1.6 V at IC = 1.5 A and IB = 15 mA - confirming robust saturation even near absolute maximum ratings.
