Product details
Overview
MMBTA92Q-7-F from Diodes Incorporated is a 300V PNP small-signal transistor in SOT-23 package, rated for −300V VCEO, −500mA IC, and 300mW power dissipation, with hFE = 25–40 at IC = −1.0 to −30mA, used in medium-power switching and amplification circuits in automotive lighting control and industrial relay drivers.
For engineers reviewing the MMBTA92Q-7-F datasheet, MMBTA92Q-7-F pinout, MMBTA92Q-7-F application, or MMBTA92Q-7-F equivalent, key selection criteria include high-voltage PNP switching capability, AEC-Q101 qualification, SOT-23 thermal performance, and complementary pairing with MMBTA42 in push-pull stages.
Technical Context
This PNP bipolar junction transistor operates with reverse-biased collector-base and emitter-base junctions up to −300V and −5.0V respectively, supporting high-side switching in off-line and industrial DC supply rails. Its fT = 50MHz enables stable gain in audio-frequency amplifiers and low-speed digital switching.
Thermal resistance RθJA = 417°C/W reflects operation on minimal FR4 pad layout under still-air conditions; ESD ratings of 4kV HBM and 400V MM confirm robustness in automated assembly and field environments.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCEO | −300V - supports direct switching of 240VAC-derived DC bus without external snubbing |
| IC | −500mA - drives relays, solenoids, and LED strings up to 10W at 24V |
| PD | 300mW - limits continuous dissipation to ≤150°C junction temperature on standard PCB |
| hFE | 25–40 @ IC = −1–30mA - ensures reliable base drive margin in saturated switch mode |
| fT | 50MHz - maintains usable gain up to 10kHz square-wave switching with <10% distortion |
| VCE(SAT) | −0.5V @ IC = −20mA, IB = −2mA - reduces conduction loss to <10mW in logic-level driven loads |
| ESD HBM | 4,000V - withstands handling and board-level ESD per JEDEC JESD22-A114 Class 3A |
Pinout & Package
SOT-23 plastic surface-mount package (3.0 × 1.4 × 1.1 mm), lead-free, halogen-free, RoHS-compliant, qualified to AEC-Q101 for automotive use.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (Emitter) | Current source terminal | Connected to positive rail in high-side switch configuration; requires current-limiting resistor when driven by MCU GPIO |
| 2 (Base) | Control input | Accepts −2mA drive for full saturation; logic-level compatible with 3.3V/5V microcontrollers via series resistor |
| 3 (Collector) | Current sink terminal | Connected to load return path; must maintain ≥3mm creepage distance from other traces in >250V applications |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualification | Validated for automotive under-hood temperature cycling (−55°C to +150°C) and humidity exposure |
| High BVCEO (−300V) | Enables direct interface with unregulated 240VAC rectified supplies without voltage divider or Zener clamp |
| Complementary NPN pairing | Matches MMBTA42 in VCEO, IC, and hFE for matched push-pull amplifier stages |
| Green molding compound | UL 94V-0 rated, <900ppm Br/Cl, <1000ppm Sb - meets automotive material compliance requirements |
Applications
| Automotive Lighting Control | Industrial Relay Driver |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Switching 12V/24V LED headlamp modules in body control units. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-side PNP switch controlling current flow from battery to LED anode. Use Value: −300V rating prevents breakdown during load-dump transients (ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a); AEC-Q101 ensures reliability over 15-year vehicle life. | Use Scenario: Driving 24VDC coil of industrial electromechanical relays. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Saturated switch providing low-loss current path to relay coil ground return. Use Value: VCE(SAT) ≤ −0.5V minimizes self-heating at 200mA coil current; SOT-23 footprint saves space vs. TO-92 in dense PLC I/O modules. |
| Off-Line Power Supply Bias | Audio Signal Amplifier Stage |
Use Scenario: Providing bias current to primary-side controller ICs in flyback converters. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Constant-current source feeding VCC pin of PWM IC from rectified AC line. Use Value: BVCBO > −300V allows direct connection to 265VAC peak without isolation; 300mW rating sustains 1mA bias at 200V. | Use Scenario: Low-noise preamplifier stage in automotive infotainment front-end. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Common-emitter small-signal amplifier with fixed bias network. Use Value: fT = 50MHz ensures flat gain response to 20kHz; hFE stability across −55°C to +150°C maintains consistent audio fidelity. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar PNP high-voltage switching applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ZTX951 | VCEO = −300V, IC = −1A, hFE = 100–300 - higher current, wider gain spread | TO-92 package; larger footprint and lower power density than SOT-23 | Select for higher current loads (>500mA) where board space permits TO-92 mounting |
| BC807-40 | VCEO = −45V, IC = −500mA, hFE = 250–630 - lower voltage rating, higher gain | Not AEC-Q101 qualified; unsuitable for automotive transients or high-voltage rails | Choose only for non-automotive 24V systems requiring tighter hFE tolerance and lower VCE(SAT) |
Compared with ZTX951 and BC807-40, MMBTA92Q-7-F uniquely balances AEC-Q101 compliance, −300V blocking, SOT-23 compactness, and predictable hFE range-making it optimal for space-constrained automotive and industrial high-voltage switching where reliability and footprint matter.

FAQ
Is MMBTA92Q-7-F pin-compatible with MMBTA92-7-F?
Yes - both share identical SOT-23 pinout (Emitter-Base-Collector on pins 1-2-3), same electrical specifications, and identical marking code K3R. The "Q" suffix denotes AEC-Q101 qualification and automotive PPAP capability, while retaining full form-fit-function compatibility with standard MMBTA92 variants.
What is the maximum safe operating voltage for MMBTA92Q-7-F in switching mode?
The absolute maximum VCEO is −300V, but for reliable long-term operation in switching applications, Diodes recommends limiting VCE to ≤ −240V under transient conditions (e.g., ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a) and ≤ −200V under steady-state DC, maintaining ≥20% voltage margin per AEC-Q101 stress guidelines.
Can MMBTA92Q-7-F replace BCW68G in existing designs?
No - BCW68G is an NPN transistor (VCEO = +80V), while MMBTA92Q-7-F is PNP with −300V rating. Direct replacement would invert circuit polarity and violate biasing requirements. For PNP equivalents to BCW68G, consider BCW61C (VCEO = −60V), not MMBTA92Q-7-F.
Does MMBTA92Q-7-F require heatsinking in 300mW operation?
No - at 300mW dissipation on a standard 1oz copper FR4 PCB with minimum recommended pad layout, junction temperature rise is ~125°C above ambient (RθJA = 417°C/W), keeping TJ ≤ 150°C at TA ≤ 25°C. Heatsinking is unnecessary unless ambient exceeds 25°C or PCB copper area is reduced below spec.
