Product details
Overview
FZT705TA from Diodes Incorporated is a 120V PNP Darlington transistor in SOT223 package, designed for high-voltage switching with -2A continuous collector current, >2k DC current gain at -2A, and -140V collector-base breakdown voltage. It drives lamps, relays, and solenoids in industrial control and power interface circuits.
For engineers reviewing the FZT705TA datasheet, FZT705TA pinout, FZT705TA application, or FZT705TA equivalent, key selection criteria include verified VCEO = -120V, hFE ≥ 2000 @ -2A, VCE(sat) ≤ -1.3V @ -2A/-2mA, thermal resistance RθJA = 41.7°C/W (50mm × 50mm 2oz Cu), and RoHS-compliant matte tin plating.
Technical Context
This PNP Darlington configuration integrates two cascaded transistors to deliver high current gain while maintaining robust voltage blocking. Its -120V VCEO and -140V VCBO ratings support operation in high-side switch topologies where emitter is tied to positive rail.
The device exhibits low saturation voltage (-1.3V max @ -2A/-2mA) and fast switching performance (ton = 0.6µs, toff = 0.8µs), enabling efficient drive of inductive loads without excessive power loss or flyback stress.
Key Specifications

|---|---|
| VCEO | -120V - Enables safe operation in 100V-class DC power rails with margin |
| hFE | ≥2000 @ -2A - Delivers high current amplification with minimal base drive |
| VCE(sat) | -1.3V max @ -2A/-2mA - Limits conduction loss to ≤2.6W at full load |
| PD | 3W (50mm×50mm 2oz Cu) - Supports thermally demanding PCB layouts |
| RθJA | 41.7°C/W - Predictable junction temperature rise under steady-state conditions |
| fT | 160MHz - Ensures adequate bandwidth for fast-switching control signals |
| ESD HBM | 2000V - Provides handling robustness during assembly and test |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar PNP Darlington transistor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ZTX788B | VCEO = -100V, hFE = 1000–4000 @ -1A, SOT89 package | Lower voltage rating; unsuitable for >100V bus applications | Select when board space is constrained and voltage stress remains below 90V. |
| MJD122 | VCEO = -100V, IC = -8A, TO-220 package, higher thermal mass | Requires heatsink for >2A; larger footprint and manual assembly | Prefer for high-current, non-SMT designs where thermal derating is critical. |
Compared with ZTX788B and MJD122, FZT705TA uniquely balances -120V blocking, SOT223 surface-mount compatibility, and verified 2A continuous operation without external heatsinking-making it optimal for compact, high-reliability industrial switching modules.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous collector current for FZT705TA?
The FZT705TA supports -2A continuous collector current at TA = +25°C with appropriate PCB copper area (50mm × 50mm 2oz Cu). Derating applies above 25°C ambient; at 100°C, maximum continuous current drops to approximately -1.2A per thermal curves in DS33160 Rev. 5-2.
Does FZT705TA require an external flyback diode when driving inductive loads?
FZT705TA does not integrate a flyback diode. When switching relays or solenoids, an external reverse-biased diode (e.g., 1N4007) must be placed across the load to clamp inductive kickback. Its -120V VCEO rating provides margin but does not eliminate the need for proper snubbing.
How is the SOT223 collector tab electrically configured?
The SOT223 collector tab (Pin 3 and Pin 4) is internally connected to the transistor's collector terminal and serves as both electrical output and primary thermal path. It must be soldered to a dedicated PCB copper pour to achieve specified RθJA = 41.7°C/W and avoid thermal runaway under sustained load.
Is FZT705TA qualified for automotive applications?
No-FZT705TA is not AEC-Q101 qualified. Diodes offers the automotive-grade FZT705Q variant, which undergoes additional stress testing and operates across -40°C to +150°C with enhanced process controls. For automotive use, FZT705Q must be specified instead of FZT705TA.
