Product details
Overview
FZT795ATC from Diodes Incorporated is a 140V PNP medium-power high-gain bipolar junction transistor in SOT223 package, rated for -500mA continuous collector current, with hFE > 250 at -0.2A and VCE(sat) ≤ -300mV at -100mA/-1mA drive-used in battery-powered load switching and voltage regulation circuits.
For engineers reviewing the FZT795ATC datasheet, FZT795ATC pinout, FZT795ATC application, or FZT795ATC equivalent, key selection criteria include breakdown voltage (-140V VCEO), thermal resistance (41.7°C/W on 50mm × 50mm copper), AEC-Q101 qualification, RoHS/Green compliance, and complementary pairing with FZT694B.
Technical Context
This PNP transistor operates in linear or saturated switching mode with guaranteed BVCEO and BVCBO ≥ -140V, enabling robust operation in high-voltage DC-DC feedback paths and reverse-polarity protection. Its low VCE(sat) and high hFE support efficient current amplification at moderate loads without external biasing complexity.
Thermal design relies on its dual-rated power dissipation: 2W on 25mm × 25mm 2oz FR4 and 3W on 50mm × 50mm 2oz FR4, with RθJL = 12.9°C/W confirming effective heat conduction through the collector lead-critical for sustained -500mA operation in compact industrial modules.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCEO | -140V - supports input rails up to -120V with 17% safety margin |
| IC (cont.) | -500mA - drives medium-power relays, LED strings, or MOSFET gates directly |
| hFE | 300–800 @ -10mA; ≥250 @ -200mA - ensures stable base drive across load range |
| VCE(sat) | -300mV @ -100mA/-1mA - minimizes conduction loss in series-pass or reverse-battery protection |
| RθJA | 41.7°C/W (50mm×50mm) - enables 3W dissipation without forced air in sealed enclosures |
| fT | 100MHz - sufficient for PWM frequencies up to ~10MHz with gain margin |
| ESD HBM | 4kV - meets IEC 61000-4-2 Level 3 for board-level handling robustness |
Pinout & Package

| Low VCE(sat) at high IC | -250mV @ -500mA/-50mA - reduces power loss by >40% vs. standard PNP transistors |
| Complementary NPN pairing | FZT694B shares identical SOT223 footprint and thermal profile - simplifies dual-rail designs |
| Moisture sensitivity Level 1 | No bake required before reflow - compatible with standard SMT assembly lines |
Applications
| Battery Reverse-Polarity Protection | High-Voltage Linear Regulator Pass Element |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Prevents damage when Li-ion or lead-acid battery is inserted backward in portable medical monitors or handheld test equipment. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: PNP high-side switch placed between battery terminal and system input; blocks reverse current flow. Use Value: Leverages -140V VCEO to withstand transient spikes during hot-swap; -300mV VCE(sat) limits voltage drop to <0.3V at 500mA. | Use Scenario: Used as pass transistor in -12V or -15V linear regulators powering analog sensor front-ends in industrial PLCs. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Series pass element controlled by error amplifier; regulates output by varying VCE. Use Value: High hFE (>250 @ -200mA) reduces base drive burden; 3W dissipation capability supports 1W+ output power with passive heatsinking. |
| Automotive Load Switch (Non-Critical) | LED String Current Sink |
Use Scenario: Controls 12V cabin lighting or HVAC actuators in AEC-Q101-compliant body control modules. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-side or high-side switch driven by CAN/LIN microcontroller GPIO. Use Value: PPAP-capable documentation and -55°C to +150°C TJ rating ensure supply chain traceability and extended temperature operation. | Use Scenario: Sinks current for 3–5 white LEDs in emergency exit signage or vehicle interior lighting. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Constant-current sink configured with emitter resistor; provides stable brightness independent of VCC variation. Use Value: Tight hFE distribution (300–800) enables ±5% current matching across units; low VBE(sat) (-0.95V) preserves headroom for LED forward voltage. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar PNP medium-power transistor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ZTX951 | VCEO = -100V; hFE = 200–800; SOT89 package; no AEC-Q101 qualification | Lacks automotive qualification and 40V higher breakdown margin; smaller thermal pad | Select only for cost-sensitive non-automotive consumer designs where -100V rating suffices |
| MJD2955T4G | VCEO = -70V; IC = -10A; TO-220 package; higher power but lower voltage rating | Requires heatsink; unsuitable for >-70V rails; incompatible SMT footprint | Choose only when >1A current is needed and board space allows through-hole mounting |
Compared with ZTX951 and MJD2955T4G, FZT795ATC uniquely balances -140V ruggedness, SMT-compatible SOT223 thermal performance, and AEC-Q101 compliance-making it optimal for space-constrained, high-reliability 12–48V systems requiring single-source qualification.

FAQ
What is the maximum safe operating junction temperature for FZT795ATC?
The absolute maximum junction temperature is +150°C per the datasheet. Continuous operation above +125°C requires derating based on ambient conditions and PCB copper area. At 25°C ambient with 50mm × 50mm 2oz copper, full 3W dissipation is allowed; above 75°C ambient, power must be reduced linearly to maintain TJ ≤ 150°C.
Is FZT795ATC pin-compatible with FZT795A?
Yes-FZT795ATC and FZT795A share identical SOT223 pinout, electrical specifications, and thermal characteristics. The "TC" suffix denotes tape-and-reel packaging (1,000 units/reel, 12mm tape width), while "A" indicates the base part number. Both are RoHS-compliant and AEC-Q101 qualified.
Can FZT795ATC replace a MOSFET in high-side switching applications?
It can function as a high-side PNP switch but lacks MOSFET advantages like zero gate current and lower RDS(on). Use FZT795ATC where simplicity, cost, or proven bipolar reliability outweigh efficiency needs-e.g., <500mA loads with <0.3V dropout tolerance. For >1A or <0.1V drop, a logic-level P-channel MOSFET is preferred.
Does FZT795ATC require a base resistor when driven by a 3.3V MCU GPIO?
Yes-a series base resistor is mandatory to limit IB and ensure saturation. For -500mA collector current and hFE ≥ 250, minimum IB = 2mA is required. With 3.3V GPIO and VBE(sat) ≈ -0.95V, a 1.0kΩ resistor delivers ~2.35mA, providing reliable saturation while staying within GPIO current limits.
