Product details
Overview
MMST3904Q-7-F from Diodes Incorporated is a 40V NPN small-signal transistor in SOT323 package, rated for 200mA collector current, 200mW power dissipation, and qualified to AEC-Q101 for automotive reliability. It delivers DC current gain (hFE) of 40–300 across 100µA–100mA bias, with VCE(SAT) ≤ 0.30V at IC = 50mA/IB = 5mA, and is used in low-power switching and amplification stages of automotive sensor interfaces and LED drivers.
For engineers reviewing the MMST3904Q-7-F datasheet, MMST3904Q-7-F pinout, MMST3904Q-7-F application, or MMST3904Q-7-F equivalent, key selection criteria include its AEC-Q101 qualification, SOT323 thermal resistance (625°C/W), VCEO = 40V rating, hFE variation vs. IC, and complementary pairing with MMST3906.
Technical Context
This NPN bipolar junction transistor uses epitaxial planar die construction for stable gain and low leakage. Its 60V VCBO, 40V VCEO, and 6V VEBO support moderate-voltage signal routing in 3.3V/5V/12V domains, while ESD ratings (HBM 4kV, MM 400V) meet industrial handling requirements.
Switching performance includes td/tr ≤ 35ns and tf ≤ 50ns under VCC = 3V, enabling use in <1MHz digital logic interfacing and PWM-controlled loads. fT = 300MHz confirms suitability for RF pre-driver and broadband amplifier roles up to UHF.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCEO | 40V - supports operation in 24V automotive subsystems with margin against transients |
| IC | 200mA - sufficient for driving LEDs, relays, and logic-level MOSFET gates |
| PD | 200mW - limits continuous dissipation in SOT323 without heatsinking |
| hFE | 40–300 - wide gain spread requires bias design tolerance for production consistency |
| VCE(SAT) | ≤0.30V @ IC=50mA - ensures <15mW saturation loss in switching applications |
| fT | 300MHz - enables use as RF amplifier or high-speed switch up to ~100MHz |
| ESD HBM | 4000V - meets IEC 61000-4-2 Level 4 for board-level robustness |
Pinout & Package
SOT323 is a 3-pin ultra-small surface-mount plastic package (2.15 × 2.10 × 0.95 mm), optimized for high-density PCB layouts and automated assembly. Its matte tin-plated leads comply with MIL-STD-202 Method 208 solderability standards.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (Emitter) | Current sink terminal | Connected to ground or low-impedance return path; defines reference for base drive |
| 2 (Base) | Control input | Receives current-limited drive (typically 1/10 to 1/20 of IC) to saturate or cut off |
| 3 (Collector) | Current source terminal | Connects to load and supply rail; voltage swing limited by VCEO = 40V |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualified | Validated for automotive temperature range (−55°C to +150°C) and mechanical stress |
| Ultra-small SOT323 footprint | Reduces PCB area by >50% vs. SOT23, critical for space-constrained modules |
| Complementary PNP pair (MMST3906) | Enables matched push-pull output stages without cross-manufacturer sourcing |
| Halogen- and antimony-free "Green" construction | Meets JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity Level 1 and RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) |
Applications

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Common-emitter small-signal amplifier with 100–400 hfe gain bandwidth. Use Value: fT = 300MHz ensures flat response to 20kHz audio; NF ≤ 5dB preserves SNR in low-noise designs. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar NPN small-signal transistor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BC847BW,115 | VCEO = 45V, hFE = 110–220 (tighter bin), SOT323 package | Higher minimum hFE improves bias stability in precision amplifiers | Preferred where tighter gain distribution reduces calibration overhead |
| MMBT3904LT1G | VCEO = 40V, same hFE range, SOT23 package (larger footprint) | Larger thermal resistance (RθJA ≈ 300°C/W less efficient than SOT323) | Chosen when legacy SOT23 layout reuse outweighs size/thermal trade-offs |
Compared with BC847BW and MMBT3904LT1G, MMST3904Q-7-F offers AEC-Q101 qualification and superior thermal resistance in SOT323-critical for automotive modules where space and reliability are co-constrained.

FAQ
Is MMST3904Q-7-F pin-compatible with standard SOT323 NPN transistors?
Yes-MMST3904Q-7-F uses the industry-standard SOT323 pinout (Emitter-Base-Collector on pins 1-2-3), matching BC847 series, MMBT3904 variants, and other SOT323-packaged NPN transistors. Mechanical dimensions and pad layout align with JEDEC MO-203AA, enabling direct PCB footprint reuse.
What is the maximum operating temperature for continuous use?
The device is rated for junction temperature (TJ) from −55°C to +150°C per AEC-Q101. For continuous operation at full 200mA IC, ambient must remain ≤ +85°C when mounted on a 1oz copper FR-4 PCB with minimal pad area, due to its 625°C/W RθJA.
Does MMST3904Q-7-F support PWM switching at 20kHz?
Yes-its switching times (td, tr, tf ≤ 35–50ns) and fT = 300MHz allow clean 20kHz PWM operation with minimal rise/fall distortion. At IC = 50mA, VCE(SAT) remains ≤ 0.30V, limiting conduction loss to <15mW per cycle.
How does the "Q" suffix in MMST3904Q-7-F differ from MMST3904-7-F?
The "Q" denotes AEC-Q101 qualification-verified through accelerated stress testing including HTOL, TC, and ESD per automotive standards. Non-Q versions lack this validation and are not approved for automotive applications, though electrically identical in nominal parameters.
