Product details
Overview
MJD350T4 from STMicroelectronics is a complementary PNP silicon power transistor in TO-252 (DPAK) surface-mount package, rated for 300 V VCEO, 0.5 A IC, and 15 W Ptot at Tcase ≤ 25 °C. It forms a matched pair with MJD340 for medium-voltage switching and amplification in solenoid/relay drivers and industrial control circuits.
For engineers reviewing the MJD350T4 datasheet, MJD350T4 pinout, MJD350T4 application, or MJD350T4 equivalent, key selection criteria include VCEO(sus) = 300 V, hFE = 30–240 at IC = 50 mA, VCE(sat) ≤ 1.5 V, rugged SOA performance, and DPAK thermal resistance Rthj-case = 8.33 °C/W.
Technical Context
The MJD350T4 is a medium-voltage PNP bipolar junction transistor fabricated using ST's Medium Voltage Epitaxial-Planar process, enabling high breakdown robustness and stable DC current gain across temperature. Its negative-polarity ratings (e.g., –300 V VCEO, –0.5 A IC) support complementary push-pull configurations with the NPN MJD340.
Designed for DC and pulsed switching up to 300 µs pulse width (≤2% duty cycle), it features a guaranteed VCEO(sus) of 300 V at IC = 1 mA and supports safe operation within defined SOA boundaries up to 150 °C junction temperature.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCEO | –300 V: Maximum collector-emitter voltage before breakdown under open-base condition; enables use in 240 V AC line-switching and relay coil drive. |
| IC | –0.5 A continuous: Rated collector current defines maximum steady-state load switching capability at Tcase ≤ 25 °C. |
| Ptot | 15 W at Tcase ≤ 25 °C: Total dissipation limit; requires heatsinking above ~1 W ambient dissipation due to Rthj-amb = 100 °C/W. |
| hFE | 30–240 at IC = –50 mA, VCE = –10 V: DC current gain range determines base drive requirements for saturation in switching applications. |
| VCE(sat) | ≤ –1.5 V at IC = –0.5 A, IB = –0.05 A: Low saturation voltage minimizes conduction loss and self-heating during on-state operation. |
| Rthj-case | 8.33 °C/W: Junction-to-case thermal resistance enables direct mounting to PCB copper or external heatsink for thermal management. |
Pinout & Package
Package: TO-252 (DPAK), surface-mount, tape-and-reel (suffix "T4"), 3-terminal configuration with exposed drain pad (pin 2) for thermal and electrical connection.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Emitter (E) | Current exit terminal; connected to higher potential rail in PNP high-side switch configurations. |
| 2 | Collector (C) | Main current sink terminal; electrically and thermally tied to exposed metal pad for low-inductance, high-power dissipation path. |
| 3 | Base (B) | Control input; requires negative bias relative to emitter to turn on; typical IB = –50 mA for full saturation at IC = –0.5 A. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Complementary pairing | Matched electrical specs with MJD340 (NPN) enable balanced push-pull output stages without gain or timing mismatch. |
| Medium-voltage ruggedness | 300 V VCEO(sus) rating supports reliable operation in 240 V AC solenoid and industrial relay driver circuits. |
| DPAK thermal performance | Rthj-case = 8.33 °C/W allows >10 W dissipation with minimal heatsink, reducing board space vs. through-hole alternatives. |
| Pulsed SOA compliance | Validated safe operating area up to 300 µs pulses ensures reliability in inductive load switching with flyback energy. |
Applications
| Solenoid Driver | Relay Interface Circuit |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Driving 24–240 V AC/DC solenoids in HVAC actuators and fluid control valves. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: PNP high-side switch controlling current flow from supply rail to solenoid coil. Use Value: 300 V VCEO withstands inductive kickback; low VCE(sat) reduces power loss and thermal stress during hold state. | Use Scenario: Isolating and amplifying microcontroller GPIO signals to energize electromechanical relays. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Medium-power interface transistor providing current gain and voltage level translation. Use Value: hFE ≥ 30 ensures sufficient drive with <10 mA MCU output; DPAK footprint simplifies automated assembly. |
| DC Motor Brake Control | Industrial PLC Output Stage |
Use Scenario: Shorting motor terminals during dynamic braking in 24–48 V DC motor systems. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: PNP switch sinking current from motor windings to ground via external diode path. Use Value: 0.75 A ICM peak rating handles brief brake-current surges; rugged SOA prevents secondary breakdown. | Use Scenario: Final output stage in programmable logic controller modules driving field loads (valves, indicators, small contactors). IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-reliability discrete switch replacing optocoupler + MOSFET combos in cost-sensitive designs. Use Value: 150 °C Tj(max) and –65 °C to 150 °C Tstg support extended industrial temperature operation. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar PNP medium-voltage switching applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MJE350 | Through-hole TO-126 package; identical VCEO, IC, hFE, but Rthj-amb = 80 °C/W (vs. 100 °C/W for MJD350T4). | Requires mechanical mounting and lead-forming; less suitable for high-density SMT production. | Select when legacy through-hole assembly or manual prototyping is required. |
| BDX54C | TO-126 package; VCEO = –100 V (lower); hFE = 20–120 (narrower range); Ptot = 15 W same. | Limited to ≤100 V applications; unsuitable for 240 V AC solenoid or relay drivers. | Select only for lower-voltage, cost-constrained industrial controls where 300 V margin is unnecessary. |
Compared with MJE350 and BDX54C, the MJD350T4 offers surface-mount compatibility, superior thermal coupling via DPAK pad, and full 300 V capability-making it optimal for modern automated manufacturing of medium-voltage industrial interface circuits.

FAQ
Is MJD350T4 pin-compatible with MJD340?
No - MJD350T4 (PNP) and MJD340 (NPN) are complementary devices with identical TO-252 pinout (Emitter-Collector-Base), but opposite polarity. They share the same physical layout and thermal design, enabling symmetrical PCB placement in push-pull circuits without adapter routing.
What is the maximum allowable case temperature for continuous operation?
The absolute maximum case temperature is not explicitly specified, but continuous operation at full 15 W dissipation requires Tcase ≤ 25 °C per datasheet derating. At higher case temperatures, power must be linearly reduced using Rthj-case = 8.33 °C/W - e.g., at Tcase = 75 °C, max Ptot ≈ 9 W to maintain Tj ≤ 150 °C.
Can MJD350T4 replace MJE350 in existing designs?
Yes, with PCB layout adaptation: both share identical electrical specs (VCEO, IC, hFE, SOA), but MJD350T4 uses surface-mount TO-252 versus MJE350's through-hole TO-126. Thermal performance differs - DPAK offers better Rthj-case, while TO-126 has lower Rthj-amb without heatsink.
Does MJD350T4 require a base resistor in switching applications?
Yes - a current-limiting base resistor is mandatory to set IB ≥ IC/hFE(min) for saturation. For IC = –0.5 A and hFE(min) = 30, minimum IB = –16.7 mA. With VBE ≈ –1.2 V and 3.3 V/5 V logic drive, RB should be 120–220 Ω to ensure hard saturation and minimize VCE(sat).
