Product details
Overview
NJVMJD42CRLG from onsemi is a PNP complementary power transistor in DPAK (Case 369C) package, rated for 100 VCEO, 6 A continuous collector current, and 20 W total power dissipation at TC = 25°C. It serves as a low-speed switching and linear amplifier device in automotive-grade power stages, motor drivers, and voltage regulator output stages.
For engineers reviewing the NJVMJD42CRLG datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include its AEC-Q101 qualification, 6.25°C/W junction-to-case thermal resistance, complementary pairing with NJVMJD41CRLG, and Pb-free DPAK surface-mount compatibility.
Technical Context
This PNP bipolar junction transistor operates in linear and saturation regions with guaranteed hFE ≥15 at IC = 3 A and VCE = 4 V, and VCE(sat) ≤ 1.5 V at IC = 6 A / IB = 600 mA. Its fT of 3 MHz supports audio-frequency amplification and DC/low-frequency switching up to ~100 kHz.
Designed for surface-mount use on minimum recommended pad sizes, it delivers 1.75 W at TA = 25°C with 0.014 W/°C derating, and features UL 94 V-0 epoxy encapsulation. The NJV prefix confirms AEC-Q101 qualification, PPAP capability, and automotive-specific process controls.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCEO | 100 Vdc - Maximum collector-emitter voltage before breakdown under open-base conditions; defines safe operating voltage ceiling in switching applications. |
| IC (continuous) | 6 Adc - Continuous collector current rating at TC = 25°C; determines maximum steady-state load-handling capacity in linear regulators or driver stages. |
| PD (TC) | 20 W - Total power dissipation at case temperature 25°C; requires heatsinking when operating above ambient-limited 1.75 W convection limit. |
| hFE | 15–75 - DC current gain range at IC = 0.3 A and 3 A; enables predictable base drive sizing for saturation in switching circuits. |
| VCE(sat) | ≤1.5 V - Collector-emitter saturation voltage at IC = 6 A / IB = 600 mA; directly impacts conduction loss and thermal rise in high-current switches. |
| RJC | 6.25 °C/W - Junction-to-case thermal resistance; critical for calculating die temperature rise when mounted to heatsink or PCB copper area. |
Pinout & Package
DPAK (Case 369C), surface-mount plastic package with exposed collector tab (pins 2 and 4 electrically connected), 6.10 × 6.54 × 2.28 mm footprint, UL 94 V-0 rated epoxy, Pb-free (G suffix).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Base | Control terminal for forward-biased PNP operation; requires negative bias relative to emitter to turn on. |
| 2 & 4 | Collector | Electrically common terminals forming the high-current output node; thermally connected to exposed metal tab for heatsinking. |
| 3 | Emitter | Reference terminal tied to positive rail in high-side switch configurations; carries full load current in emitter-follower mode. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualified | Validated for automotive underhood applications including engine control modules and body electronics with PPAP documentation support. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar PNP power transistor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MJD42CRLG | No NJV prefix; not AEC-Q101 qualified or PPAP capable; identical electrical specs and DPAK package. | Suitable for industrial/commercial designs without automotive qualification requirements. | Select MJD42CRLG when AEC-Q101 compliance is unnecessary and cost sensitivity favors standard-grade version. |
| ONP100100 | PNP MOSFET (not BJT); 100 VDSS, 10 A, RDS(on) = 100 mΩ; logic-level gate; no base current required. | Replaces BJT in high-efficiency switching applications where gate drive simplicity and lower conduction loss are prioritized. | Choose ONP100100 only if redesign permits MOSFET gate drive architecture and reduced VCE(sat) is critical for efficiency. |
Compared with MJD42CRLG, NJVMJD42CRLG adds automotive qualification and process traceability but shares identical performance; versus ONP100100, it offers proven BJT linearity and simpler biasing at the cost of higher conduction loss and base drive overhead.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature for NJVMJD42CRLG?
The NJVMJD42CRLG has an operating junction temperature range of −65°C to +150°C. This specification ensures reliable operation in under-hood automotive environments and industrial settings with elevated ambient temperatures. Thermal design must maintain TJ ≤ 150°C using the published RJC = 6.25°C/W and appropriate heatsinking. Exceeding this limit risks permanent degradation of the NJVMJD42CRLG.
Is NJVMJD42CRLG pin-compatible with NJVMJD41CRLG?
No - NJVMJD42CRLG (PNP) and NJVMJD41CRLG (NPN) share identical DPAK package dimensions and pinout (Base, Collector, Emitter, Collector), enabling mechanical compatibility in complementary circuits. However, their polarity differs: NJVMJD42CRLG requires reverse biasing relative to NJVMJD41CRLG. The NJVMJD42CRLG pin 1 is Base, pins 2/4 are Collector, and pin 3 is Emitter - same physical layout but opposite conduction direction.
Does NJVMJD42CRLG require a base resistor in switching applications?
Yes - the NJVMJD42CRLG is a bipolar transistor requiring controlled base current to achieve saturation. For example, at IC = 6 A and minimum hFE = 15, ≥400 mA base drive is needed; a series base resistor must be sized to deliver this from the driver voltage while limiting peak current. Unlike MOSFETs, the NJVMJD42CRLG cannot be driven directly by logic outputs without current amplification or proper resistor calculation.
What does the "NJV" prefix signify on NJVMJD42CRLG?
The "NJV" prefix on NJVMJD42CRLG indicates automotive-grade manufacturing with unique site and process control requirements, including AEC-Q101 qualification and PPAP capability. This distinguishes it from standard MJD42CRLG and ensures traceability, extended temperature validation, and failure rate controls required for automotive safety-critical systems. The NJVMJD42CRLG meets these enhanced standards while retaining identical electrical performance.
Can NJVMJD42CRLG be used in parallel for higher current handling?
Parallel operation of NJVMJD42CRLG devices is not recommended without external emitter resistors due to negative temperature coefficient of VBE, which causes current hogging. If attempted, individual 0.1–0.5 Ω emitter resistors per device are required to force current sharing. Derating total current below 2×6 A is advised. For >6 A applications, consider single higher-rated devices or synchronous MOSFET alternatives instead of paralleling NJVMJD42CRLG units.
