Product details
Overview
ST13007DFP from STMicroelectronics is a high-voltage fast-switching NPN power transistor with integrated free-wheeling diode, rated for VCEO = 400 V, IC = 8 A, and Ptot = 36 W at Tc ≤ 25 °C. It features tight hFE range (18–40 at IC = 2 A), low VCE(sat) (0.8 V typ. @ 2 A/0.4 A), and full characterization at 125 °C - optimized for electronic transformers in halogen lamp ballasts and SMPS primary-side switching.
For engineers reviewing the ST13007DFP datasheet, ST13007DFP pinout, ST13007DFP application, or ST13007DFP equivalent, key selection criteria include its 1500 V RMS insulation rating, RBSOA robustness, storage time < 2.3 µs (Tc = 25 °C), and TO-220FP fully insulated package enabling direct heatsink mounting without isolation hardware.
Technical Context
This device employs Multi Epitaxial Planar technology and a Cellular Emitter structure to achieve very high switching speed and stable dynamic parameters across lots. Its integrated anti-parallel diode enables self-contained inductive load commutation in flyback and forward converter topologies.
The transistor is fully characterized up to 125 °C junction temperature, with guaranteed Rthj-case = 3.47 °C/W and Rthj-amb = 62.5 °C/W. The U.L.-compliant insulated package eliminates need for insulating washers in transformer and SMPS designs requiring creepage/clearance compliance.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCEO | 400 V - supports primary-side switching in 230 VAC offline SMPS and halogen lamp electronic transformers |
| IC | 8 A continuous - enables ≥120 W output in transformer-driven lighting applications |
| VCE(sat) | 0.8 V (typ.) @ 2 A/0.4 A - reduces conduction loss and thermal stress in high-duty-cycle operation |
| ts | 1.7 µs (max) @ Tc = 25 °C - ensures reliable turn-off in 50–100 kHz switching converters |
| Visol | 1500 V RMS - allows direct mounting to grounded heatsinks without additional insulation |
| hFE | 18–40 @ IC = 2 A - tight gain spread simplifies base drive design and improves batch consistency |
| Rthj-case | 3.47 °C/W - supports high-power dissipation with minimal case-to-junction temperature rise |
Pinout & Package
ST13007DFP uses a TO-220FP (Full-Pak) package: fully insulated plastic housing with metal tab electrically isolated from collector, U.L. recognized for safe direct heatsink mounting.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (Emitter) | Emitter terminal | Low-impedance current return path; connected to ground or low-side switch node |
| 2 (Collector) | Collector terminal | High-voltage switching node; connects to transformer primary or DC bus |
| 3 (Base) | Base control terminal | Current-driven input; requires ~0.4 A drive for 2 A collector current |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated free-wheeling diode | Enables single-device inductive energy recirculation without external diode in flyback/forward converters |
| Tight storage time range (1.7–2.3 µs) | Ensures consistent turn-off timing across production lots and temperature extremes |
| Large RBSOA (Reverse Biased Safe Operating Area) | Supports reliable operation under inductive switching stress with VCL = 250 V and L = 200 µH |
| DC current gain preselection | Manufacturing binning delivers specified hFE range (18–40), reducing design margin overhead |
| Full 125 °C characterization | Guarantees parametric performance at elevated ambient temperatures common in enclosed lighting fixtures |
Applications
| Halogen Lamp Electronic Transformers | Offline Switch-Mode Power Supplies |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: High-frequency AC generation (20–50 kHz) to drive 12 V/20–100 W halogen lamps via ferrite-core transformer. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary-side NPN switch controlling transformer excitation; operates in self-oscillating or fixed-frequency hard-switched mode. Use Value: Integrated diode and low ts enable compact, efficient transformer driver with no external snubber or clamp diode required. | Use Scenario: Primary-side switching in 30–100 W universal-input AC/DC adapters and industrial auxiliary supplies. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Main power switch in flyback topology; handles 400 V DC link voltage and repetitive inductive turn-off stress. Use Value: RBSOA robustness and 1500 V isolation allow direct heatsink mounting and eliminate creepage concerns in compact enclosures. |
| DC-DC Converters for Industrial Control | Ballast Circuits for Low-Voltage Lighting |
Use Scenario: Isolated DC-DC conversion in PLC I/O modules and sensor power supplies operating from 24–48 VDC input. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-side switch in forward or push-pull topology; driven by optocoupled gate driver. Use Value: Tight hFE spread and low leakage (<10 µA @ 700 V) ensure predictable base drive and low standby loss. | Use Scenario: Dimmable low-voltage lighting systems using phase-cut or PWM-controlled halogen drivers. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Fast-switching power stage synchronized to dimming signal; handles frequent on/off transitions. Use Value: Very high switching speed (tf = 90 ns) and low VCE(sat) minimize switching losses during rapid duty-cycle changes. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-voltage NPN power transistor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ST13005DFP | VCEO = 400 V, IC = 4 A, Ptot = 25 W - lower current/power rating | Suitable for ≤60 W halogen transformers; insufficient for 120 W loads | Select when thermal budget or cost constraints reduce required output power |
| BU508AF | VCEO = 1500 V, IC = 8 A, no integrated diode - higher voltage headroom, no built-in freewheeling path | Used in high-voltage flybacks (≥600 V DC link); requires external diode and isolation hardware | Choose for ultra-high-voltage SMPS where VCEV > 700 V is mandatory |
Compared with ST13005DFP, ST13007DFP delivers +100% current capability and +44% power dissipation for same footprint; versus BU508AF, it trades 1100 V headroom for integrated diode, reduced layout area, and simplified thermal mounting.

FAQ
What is the maximum recommended case temperature for continuous operation?
The ST13007DFP is fully characterized up to Tc = 125 °C, and its absolute maximum Tj is 150 °C. With Rthj-case = 3.47 °C/W, sustained operation at Tc = 100 °C limits junction temperature to 134.7 °C - within safe margin. Derating is required above 100 °C case temperature per the published derating curve.
Does the integrated diode replace an external freewheeling diode in all applications?
Yes - the monolithically integrated anti-parallel diode is rated for IF = 3 A and VF = 2.5 V, matching typical flyback/foward recirculation requirements. It eliminates discrete diode placement and PCB routing but must be verified against peak reverse recovery stress in high-dV/dt environments.
Can ST13007DFP be used in avalanche mode?
No - ST13007DFP is not rated for repetitive avalanche operation. Its VCEV = 700 V is a non-repetitive test condition. Safe operation requires clamping or snubbing circuits to limit VCE to ≤400 V during switching transients.
Is the TO-220FP package compatible with standard TO-220 heatsinks?
Yes - the TO-220FP mechanical outline matches standard TO-220, but its insulated tab allows direct mounting to grounded heatsinks without mica washers or silicone pads. Mounting torque must not exceed 0.5 N·m to avoid damaging internal insulation.
