Product details
Overview
FZTA92TA from Diodes Incorporated is an obsolete PNP silicon planar high-voltage transistor in SOT-223 package, rated for VCEO = −150 V, IC = −500 mA, and PD = 1 W at TA = 25°C, used in automotive voltage regulation and industrial power switching circuits.
For engineers reviewing the FZTA92TA datasheet, FZTA92TA pinout, FZTA92TA application, or FZTA92TA equivalent, key selection considerations include its high-voltage PNP switching capability, thermal derating behavior in SOT-223, AEC-Q101 qualification status, and mandatory migration path to DZTA92.
Technical Context
The FZTA92TA operates as a high-voltage PNP bipolar junction transistor with a minimum DC current gain (hFE) of 100 at IC = −10 mA and VCE = −5 V. Its breakdown voltage specification VCEO = −150 V enables use in flyback snubber and relay driver stages where reverse collector-emitter standoff is critical.
Thermal performance is defined by RθJA = 125°C/W (standard PCB mount) and RθJC = 10°C/W, requiring careful heatsinking above 300 mW dissipation. The device is qualified per AEC-Q101 and manufactured in IATF 16949-certified facilities, confirming suitability for automotive-grade power control.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCEO | −150 V: Maximum reverse collector-emitter voltage before breakdown; supports 125 V rail switching with 20% margin. |
| IC | −500 mA: Continuous collector current rating; limits load drive capability in linear or saturated switch mode. |
| PD | 1 W @ TA = 25°C: Absolute maximum power dissipation; derates to ~0.5 W at 75°C ambient. |
| hFE | 100–300 @ IC = −10 mA, VCE = −5 V: Current gain range determines base drive requirements for saturation. |
| RθJA | 125°C/W: Junction-to-ambient thermal resistance on standard FR-4; dictates heatsink necessity above 300 mW. |
| fT | ≥50 MHz: Minimum transition frequency; supports switching up to ~5 MHz with acceptable gain roll-off. |
Pinout & Package
SOT-223 package with exposed emitter tab for thermal conduction and mechanical anchoring; standardized 4-pin footprint (Emitter, Base, Collector, Emitter) where Pin 1 = Emitter, Pin 2 = Base, Pin 3 = Collector, Pin 4 = Emitter (tab).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 (E) | Emitter | Main current return path; electrically and thermally connected to exposed copper tab. |
| Pin 2 (B) | Base | Current-controlled input node; requires ~50 µA–1 mA drive for full saturation at IC = −500 mA. |
| Pin 3 (C) | Collector | High-voltage output terminal; withstands −150 V reverse bias when emitter is grounded. |
| Pin 4 (E) | Emitter (Tab) | Primary thermal interface; must be soldered to ≥1 cm² copper pour for rated power handling. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| High-voltage PNP structure | Enables direct high-side switching of 100+ V rails without level-shifting circuitry. |
| AEC-Q101 qualification | Validated for automotive temperature cycling, humidity, and mechanical shock per Grade 1 requirements. |
| SOT-223 thermal design | Exposed emitter tab delivers 10× lower RθJC than SOT-23, enabling 2× higher continuous power in same board area. |
| High hFE consistency | Guaranteed hFE ≥100 across production lot ensures predictable base drive sizing in safety-critical designs. |
Applications
| Automotive Door Module | Industrial Relay Driver |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Controlling 24 V solenoid locks and window lift motors in door ECUs. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-side PNP switch sourcing current to inductive loads during active-high enable signals. Use Value: −150 V VCEO provides 5× overvoltage margin against load-dump transients up to 30 V. | Use Scenario: Driving 120 VAC coil relays via optocoupler-isolated base control in PLC I/O modules. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Interface transistor translating logic-level signals to high-voltage relay coil activation. Use Value: 1 W power rating sustains 500 mA coil current with <100 µs turn-off delay under snubber-limited conditions. |
| DC-DC Flyback Snubber | High-Voltage Bias Supply |
Use Scenario: Clamping voltage spikes across primary windings in 48 V–400 V isolated DC-DC converters. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Passive clamp transistor conducting transient energy into RC network during MOSFET turn-off. Use Value: 50 MHz fT ensures fast turn-on response to sub-100 ns voltage overshoot events. | Use Scenario: Generating regulated −12 V bias for op-amp front-ends in HV sensor signal conditioning circuits. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Linear regulator pass element delivering stable negative voltage from unregulated −150 V rail. Use Value: hFE ≥100 allows low-noise operation with <2 mV ripple at 10 mA output current. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-voltage PNP transistor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| DZTA92 | Direct replacement with identical VCEO, IC, and SOT-223 package; improved hFE min = 150 and tighter RθJA tolerance. | Same automotive and industrial use cases; validated for PPAP and change-controlled manufacturing. | Select DZTA92 for new designs requiring guaranteed supply continuity and enhanced gain consistency. |
| MJD127 | Higher PD = 1.5 W and VCEO = −100 V; TO-252 package with different thermal profile and pinout. | Acceptable in non-automotive 24–48 V systems where −100 V margin suffices and board space permits larger footprint. | Use MJD127 only if redesign accommodates TO-252 layout and thermal management changes. |
Compared with FZTA92TA, DZTA92 offers assured long-term availability and tighter parametric control, while MJD127 trades voltage rating for higher power and different packaging-neither is pin-compatible, but both address overlapping high-voltage PNP switching needs with distinct trade-offs.

FAQ
Is FZTA92TA still in production?
No, FZTA92TA is officially obsolete and discontinued per Diodes' DS33194 Rev. 4 notice. Diodes recommends migrating to DZTA92 as the designated replacement part. Aetrix Electronics maintains limited legacy stock for repair and maintenance programs but does not support new design-in.
What is the pin configuration of FZTA92TA in SOT-223?
FZTA92TA uses a 4-pin SOT-223 package with Pin 1 = Emitter, Pin 2 = Base, Pin 3 = Collector, and Pin 4 = Emitter (exposed tab). The tab is internally connected to the emitter and must be soldered to PCB copper for thermal and electrical integrity.
Can FZTA92TA be used in non-automotive applications?
Yes-its −150 V VCEO, 1 W power rating, and 125°C/W thermal resistance make it suitable for industrial power switching, flyback snubbing, and HV bias generation outside automotive contexts, provided AEC-Q101 qualification is not required for the target application.
How does DZTA92 differ functionally from FZTA92TA?
DZTA92 matches FZTA92TA's VCEO, IC, and package but specifies minimum hFE = 150 (vs. 100) and tighter RθJA distribution. It is fully qualified for PPAP and manufactured under updated IATF 16949 controls, ensuring consistent supply and performance for new automotive designs.
