Product details
Overview
FZT705TC from Diodes Incorporated is a 120V PNP Darlington transistor in SOT223 package, designed for high-voltage switching with -120V VCEO, -2A continuous collector current, and minimum hFE of 2,000 at -2A. It drives relays, solenoids, and lamps in industrial control and power interface circuits.
For engineers reviewing the FZT705TC datasheet, FZT705TC pinout, FZT705TC application, or FZT705TC equivalent, key selection criteria include breakdown voltage margin (-140V VCBO), thermal resistance (12.9°C/W junction-to-lead), saturation performance (-1.3V VCE(sat) @ -2A), and RoHS-compliant green packaging.
Technical Context
This Darlington pair integrates two PNP transistors to deliver high DC current gain while maintaining robust high-voltage blocking capability. Its structure enables low base drive requirements for heavy loads, with verified operation up to -120V VCEO and -140V VCBO.
Thermal design is supported by a measured RθJL of 12.9°C/W and multiple RθJA ratings (41.7–104°C/W) depending on PCB copper area. ESD robustness includes 2kV HBM and ≥200V MM ratings per JEDEC standards.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCEO | -120 V: Sustains 120V reverse collector-emitter voltage before breakdown, enabling use in 100V-class industrial power rails. |
| IC (cont.) | -2 A: Supports continuous load current up to 2A, sufficient for driving 24V/12V relays and solenoids directly. |
| hFE | 2k min @ -2A: Delivers high current gain at full rated current, reducing required base drive to ~2mA for full conduction. |
| VCE(sat) | -1.3 V max @ -2A: Limits conduction loss to ≤2.6W at full current, easing thermal management on standard SOT223 layouts. |
| RθJL | 12.9 °C/W: Enables direct thermal coupling to PCB copper pour or heatsink via collector lead, critical for sustained high-current operation. |
| ESD HBM | 2,000 V: Provides built-in handling robustness during assembly without requiring additional protection circuitry. |
Pinout & Package
Package: SOT223 (Type DN), surface-mount, 4-terminal plastic molded case with exposed collector tab for thermal and electrical connection.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Emitter (E) | Current source terminal | Connected to positive rail in high-side switch configuration; requires stable bias reference. |
| Base (B) | Control input | Receives low-current drive signal; logic-level compatible with 3.3V/5V microcontrollers via current-limiting resistor. |
| Collector (C) | Main output terminal | Exposed metal tab-electrically and thermally connected to PCB copper; must be isolated from other potentials if not grounded. |
| Collector Tab (C) | Thermal & electrical path | Primary heat dissipation route; soldered directly to large copper area or heatsink for 1.2W–3W power handling. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| High-voltage blocking | VCBO > -140V ensures safe operation in 100–120V DC systems with transient margin. |
| Darlington gain architecture | hFE ≥ 2,000 at -2A reduces base drive burden and simplifies driver-stage design. |
| Thermally optimized lead frame | RθJL = 12.9°C/W supports >1.5W continuous dissipation with minimal external heatsinking. |
| Green RoHS-compliant construction | Halogen- and antimony-free molding compound (<900ppm Br/Cl, <1000ppm Sb) meets automotive and industrial environmental mandates. |
Applications
| Lamp Driver | Relay Driver |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Switching 12–24V incandescent or LED indicator lamps in industrial HMIs and panel controls. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-side PNP switch controlling lamp current path to ground. Use Value: -120V VCEO prevents breakdown during inductive kickback from lamp filaments; -1.3V VCE(sat) minimizes self-heating at 1–2A loads. | Use Scenario: Driving 24VDC electromagnetic relays in PLC I/O modules and motor starters. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-base-drive Darlington switch delivering 2A coil current with <2mA base input. Use Value: hFE ≥ 2k eliminates need for pre-driver stages; RθJL = 12.9°C/W sustains relay cycling without thermal derating. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar PNP Darlington transistor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ZTX951 | VCEO = -100V, hFE = 1k min @ -1A, SOT89 package | Lower voltage rating limits use in >100V systems; smaller package reduces thermal capacity | Select when board space is constrained and voltage stress remains below 80V. |
| MJD127 | VCEO = -100V, IC = -2A, TO-220 package, no RoHS green compliance | Larger footprint and leaded finish incompatible with fine-pitch automated assembly | Choose only for legacy through-hole designs where thermal mass outweighs SMT advantages. |
Compared with ZTX951 and MJD127, FZT705TC uniquely combines -120V blocking, SOT223 surface-mount compatibility, 12.9°C/W thermal resistance, and halogen-free RoHS compliance-making it optimal for modern industrial control boards requiring reliability, density, and regulatory alignment.

FAQ
What is the maximum safe operating voltage for FZT705TC in continuous DC applications?
The absolute maximum collector-emitter voltage (VCEO) is -120V, and collector-base voltage (VCBO) is -140V. For reliable long-term operation, design should maintain ≤80% of VCEO (i.e., ≤-96V) under worst-case transients and temperature extremes, per Diodes' application guidance in DS33160 Rev. 5-2.
Can FZT705TC replace a standard PNP BJT in existing designs without circuit modification?
No-FZT705TC is a Darlington pair with significantly higher hFE and VBE(sat) (~-1.67V) than single BJTs. Base resistor values must be increased to limit base current, and flyback protection must account for slower turn-off (0.8µs) and higher stored charge. Layout review for thermal pad connection is also mandatory.
Does FZT705TC require a heatsink in typical 2A switching applications?
Not necessarily: with RθJL = 12.9°C/W and PD = 2.6W at -2A, junction temperature rise is ~33.5°C above lead temperature. A 25mm² 2oz copper pour typically holds lead temperature within 40°C of ambient, keeping TJ < 110°C-within spec. Larger heatsinks are needed only for >50% duty cycle or >70°C ambient.
Is the FZT705TC marking "FZT705" sufficient for traceability and authenticity verification?
Yes-the top-marking "FZT705" matches Diodes' official SOT223 (Type DN) marking specification. Authentic units also display a YWW date code (e.g., "242" for week 2024) adjacent to the part number, and exhibit matte tin-plated leads per MIL-STD-202. Counterfeit detection requires cross-checking package dimensions and thermal resistance measurements.
