Product details
Overview
MJF6668G from onsemi is a PNP complementary silicon power Darlington transistor in an electrically isolated TO-220 Fullpack (Case 221D) package, rated for 100 VCEO, 10 A continuous collector current, and 40 W total power dissipation at TC = 25°C. It delivers high DC current gain (hFE = 100–15,000 depending on operating point), low VCE(sat) (≤3.0 V at IC = 10 A), and 4500 VRMS isolation voltage - designed for high-reliability switching and linear amplification where heatsink isolation is mandatory.
For engineers reviewing the MJF6668G datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this device is selected for thermally demanding, safety-critical power control circuits requiring galvanic separation between collector and heatsink - including industrial motor drives, solid-state relays, and regulated DC power supplies with reinforced insulation requirements.
Technical Context
The MJF6668G implements a monolithic Darlington pair with integrated base-emitter resistor network (≈8 kΩ) and emitter-follower output stage, enabling high current gain without external bias components. Its isolated overmold construction eliminates need for insulating washers while maintaining UL recognition at 3500 VRMS.
Thermal performance is defined by RJC = 4.0 °C/W (junction-to-case) and RJA = 62.5 °C/W (junction-to-ambient), with safe operating area limited by secondary breakdown and thermal derating above 25°C. Electrical behavior includes VBE(sat) up to 4.5 V at IC = 10 A and Cob = 300 pF at VCB = 10 V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCEO | 100 V - Maximum collector-emitter voltage before breakdown under open-base conditions; defines maximum blocking capability in switching applications. |
| IC (continuous) | 10 A - Continuous collector current rating at TC = 25°C; determines steady-state load drive capacity with adequate heatsinking. |
| PD @ TC = 25°C | 40 W - Total power dissipation limit when case temperature is maintained at 25°C; requires mechanical mounting torque ≥6 in·lbs for full rating. |
| VCE(sat) | ≤3.0 V at IC = 10 A, IB = 0.1 A - Saturation voltage defining conduction loss and heat generation during on-state operation. |
| hFE | 100–15,000 - DC current gain range across operating points; enables low-base-drive-current control of high-load currents. |
| VISOL | 4500 VRMS (t = 0.3 sec) - Isolation voltage between leads and heatsink; satisfies reinforced insulation requirements per UL E69369. |
| RJC | 4.0 °C/W - Junction-to-case thermal resistance; critical for calculating junction temperature rise when mounted on heatsink with thermal grease. |
Pinout & Package
Package: TO-220 Fullpack (Case 221D), Pb-free, UL Recognized (File #E69369), electrically isolated plastic overmold. Mounting surface is dielectric; no insulating washer required.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (Base) | Control input node for Darlington pair | Receives base current to initiate conduction; internal ≈8 kΩ resistor connects to emitter for turn-off assurance. |
| 2 (Collector) | Main high-side current path terminal | Connected to high-voltage rail in PNP configuration; electrically isolated from heatsink surface per UL requirements. |
| 3 (Emitter) | Power output and reference node | Serves as common return path; tied to system ground or low-side rail; provides low-impedance output for load connection. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Electrically isolated package | Eliminates need for mica washers or silicone pads - reduces BOM cost, assembly time, and thermal interface resistance. |
| UL Recognition (E69369) | Validated 3500 VRMS isolation compliance - enables use in safety-critical industrial and medical auxiliary power systems. |
| High hFE Darlington architecture | Enables direct microcontroller GPIO drive (e.g., 5 V logic) without external driver stages for ≤10 A loads. |
| Low VCE(sat) at high current | 3.0 V max at 10 A ensures <30 W conduction loss - improves efficiency and simplifies thermal design vs. standard bipolar transistors. |
| Pb-free and RoHS compliant | Meets global environmental regulations; compatible with lead-free reflow and wave soldering processes (TL = 260°C). |
Applications
| Industrial Motor Control | Solid-State Relay (SSR) |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar PNP power Darlington switching applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ON Semiconductor MJF6668 | Same die and package but not Pb-free; lacks RoHS compliance marking and lead-free solder compatibility. | Acceptable only in legacy non-RoHS production environments; incompatible with modern lead-free assembly lines. | Select MJF6668G for new designs requiring environmental compliance and 260°C soldering capability. |
| STMicroelectronics BDW94C | PNP Darlington in TO-220, 100 V/12 A, but non-isolated package requiring insulating washer; RJC = 3.5 °C/W. | Higher current rating but adds thermal interface resistance and assembly complexity; UL not recognized. | Choose MJF6668G when isolation, certification, and simplified mounting outweigh marginal current gain. |
Compared with MJF6668 (non-Pb-free) and BDW94C (non-isolated), the MJF6668G uniquely combines UL-recognized electrical isolation, RoHS compliance, and drop-in compatibility with legacy 2N6668 footprint - delivering lower system-level BOM and assembly cost without sacrificing thermal or safety performance.

FAQ
What is the maximum isolation voltage rating for the MJF6668G?
The MJF6668G is rated for 4500 VRMS isolation voltage (t = 0.3 sec, RH ≤ 30%, TA = 25°C), verified per Figure 14 test setup with all leads shorted to heatsink. This exceeds its UL Recognition level of 3500 VRMS (File #E69369), confirming robust dielectric strength for reinforced insulation in industrial equipment.
Can the MJF6668G be used as a direct replacement for the 2N6668?
Yes - the MJF6668G is electrically similar to the 2N6668 and shares identical pinout (Base–Collector–Emitter), voltage/current ratings, and Darlington topology. However, MJF6668G adds UL-recognized isolation and Pb-free compliance, making it a functionally equivalent yet enhanced upgrade for new designs requiring safety certification and RoHS adherence.
What is the recommended mounting torque for the MJF6668G?
onsemi specifies a minimum mounting torque of ≥6 in·lbs using a 4-40 screw with compression washer to achieve full 40 W power dissipation. Torque must not exceed 10 in·lbs to prevent cracking of the isolated overmold; destructive testing shows failure occurs above 20 in·lbs. Proper torque ensures optimal thermal transfer and maintains isolation integrity.
Does the MJF6668G require an external base resistor?
No - the MJF6668G integrates an internal base-emitter resistor (≈8 kΩ) that provides turn-off bias, eliminating the need for an external pull-down resistor. This simplifies circuit design and improves reliability in microcontroller-driven switching applications where GPIO leakage or floating states could otherwise cause unintended conduction.
What is the thermal resistance junction-to-case (RJC) for the MJF6668G?
The MJF6668G has a maximum RJC of 4.0 °C/W, measured with thermocouple contacting the bottom insulated surface beneath the die, mounted on a heatsink with thermal grease and ≥6 in·lbs torque. This value is essential for calculating junction temperature rise under real-world thermal conditions and ensuring operation within the –65°C to +150°C TJ range.
