Product details
Overview
STT13005FP from STMicroelectronics is a high-voltage fast-switching NPN power transistor in SOT-32FP package, rated for VCEO = 400 V, IC = 2 A, Ptot = 30 W at Tc = 25 °C, with tr/tf = 0.4/0.25 µs (resistive load) and optimized for electronic ballasts and low-power flyback converters.
For engineers reviewing the STT13005FP datasheet, STT13005FP pinout, STT13005FP application, or STT13005FP equivalent, key selection criteria include its 400 V sustaining voltage under IC = 10 mA, 0.5 V VCE(sat) at IC = 0.5 A / IB = 125 mA, cellular emitter structure for RBSOA robustness, and SOT-32FP thermal resistance of 4.2 °C/W.
Technical Context
This device employs high-voltage multi-epitaxial planar technology to achieve fast switching while maintaining wide reverse-biased safe operating area (RBSOA). Its planar edge termination and cellular emitter design jointly enable stable operation at VCE = 400 V with IC up to 2 A DC and 4 A peak.
The transistor supports both resistive and inductive load switching: ts/tf = 3.2/0.7 µs (resistive), and ts/tf = 0.8/0.16 µs (inductive, L = 50 mH, VClamp = 300 V), confirming suitability for self-oscillating and controlled-mode SMPS topologies.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCEO | 400 V - Sustaining voltage with IB = 0, defines maximum off-state blocking capability in flyback/forward converters |
| IC | 2 A - Continuous collector current rating, sets max DC output power handling in lighting ballast drivers |
| VCE(sat) | 0.5 V @ IC = 0.5 A / IB = 125 mA - Low saturation voltage minimizes conduction loss and heatsink requirements |
| tr/tf | 0.4 / 0.25 µs - Fast resistive-load switching enables >100 kHz operation in compact fluorescent lamp (CFL) ballasts |
| RthJC | 4.2 °C/W - Junction-to-case thermal resistance enables 30 W dissipation with modest heatsinking at Tc = 25 °C |
| hFE | 10–50 @ IC = 0.5 A / VCE = 5 V - Moderate DC gain supports simple base-drive design without excessive current sourcing |
Pinout & Package
SOT-32FP is a through-hole power package with integrated heat sink tab (pin 3), featuring 3 terminals: emitter (pin 1), base (pin 2), collector (pin 3). The case serves as the collector terminal and primary thermal path.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Emitter | Low-impedance return path for collector current; referenced to ground in common-emitter switch configurations |
| 2 | Base | Current-controlled input node; requires ~125 mA drive for full saturation at IC = 0.5 A |
| 3 | Collector / Case | Main power terminal and thermal interface; electrically connected to heatsink; must be isolated from other potentials unless referenced to system ground |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Cellular emitter structure | Enables uniform current distribution and improved ruggedness during inductive turn-off stress |
| Planar edge termination | Supports stable 400 V blocking without premature edge breakdown, critical for long-life lighting applications |
| High-speed switching (tr/tf < 1 µs) | Reduces switching losses in 20–100 kHz ballast and SMPS designs, enabling smaller magnetics and EMI filters |
| Wide RBSOA | Allows reliable operation under inductive load conditions with VCE up to 300 V and IC up to 1 A during turn-off |
Applications
| Compact Fluorescent Lamp (CFL) Ballast | Flyback Converter (Low-Power SMPS) |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: High-frequency resonant driver for 11–42 W CFL tubes in residential and commercial lighting fixtures. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Main switching transistor in self-oscillating or IC-controlled half-bridge topology; handles 40–70 kHz switching with 400 V blocking. Use Value: Cellular emitter and planar termination ensure consistent lumen output over 10,000-hour lifetime despite thermal cycling and line-voltage transients. | Use Scenario: Primary-side switch in universal-input (85–265 VAC), 5–25 W offline flyback power supplies for appliances and IoT sensors. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Power switch controlling energy transfer to secondary winding; operates at 60–100 kHz with VCE spikes clamped to ≤300 V. Use Value: 0.8 µs inductive storage time and 0.16 µs fall time minimize dead-time losses and improve efficiency above 80% at light loads. |
| Forward Converter (Auxiliary Supply) | LED Driver (Non-Isolated Buck) |
Use Scenario: Main switch in 12 V/1 A auxiliary forward converter supplying control circuitry in industrial PLC power modules. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Synchronously gated NPN switch with fixed 50% duty cycle; sustains 400 V during reset phase with minimal tail current. Use Value: 4.2 °C/W RthJC allows direct mounting to chassis without additional heatsink, reducing BOM cost and footprint. | Use Scenario: High-side switch in non-isolated buck-derived LED driver for streetlight segments (24–48 V input, 350 mA constant current). IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Linear-regulated or PWM-controlled pass element; leverages 2 A continuous rating for 350 mA LED strings with margin. Use Value: VBE(sat) = 1.0 V at IC = 0.5 A ensures predictable base drive and stable current regulation across temperature. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-voltage NPN switching transistor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STT13003FP | VCEO = 400 V, IC = 1.5 A, tr/tf = 0.5/0.3 µs, RthJC = 5.0 °C/W | Lower current and thermal performance; suitable only for ≤15 W ballasts or <12 W flybacks | Select when lower power density and reduced heatsink requirement outweigh need for headroom |
| BU2508AX | VCEO = 1500 V, IC = 8 A, tr/tf = 0.6/0.4 µs, TO-220FP package | Higher voltage/current but slower switching and larger footprint; designed for TV horizontal deflection | Choose only if 700 V VCES and 8 A ICM are mandatory, accepting higher cost and layout complexity |
Compared with STT13003FP and BU2508AX, STT13005FP delivers optimal balance of 400 V/2 A rating, sub-microsecond switching, and SOT-32FP thermal efficiency-making it uniquely suited for cost-sensitive, space-constrained 20–25 W lighting and SMPS designs where reliability and manufacturability are prioritized.

FAQ
What is the maximum recommended case temperature for continuous operation?
The STT13005FP has a maximum junction temperature of 150 °C and a thermal resistance RthJC of 4.2 °C/W. For continuous 30 W dissipation, the case temperature must not exceed 25 °C. At 75% derated power (22.5 W), the allowable case temperature rises to 53.5 °C per the derating curve in Figure 3 of the datasheet.
Can STT13005FP replace STT13004FP in an existing design?
Yes, with verification: STT13005FP shares identical SOT-32FP package, pinout, and VCEO = 400 V rating, but offers higher IC (2 A vs. 1.5 A) and lower VCE(sat) (0.5 V vs. 0.6 V). Thermal and drive circuit margins should be rechecked, especially base current capability and heatsink adequacy for the increased current capability.
Does this transistor require a snubber network in flyback applications?
A snubber is recommended due to VCEO = 400 V and typical flyback clamp voltages near 300 V. The device's RBSOA and inductive ts/tf specs assume clamped operation (VClamp = 300 V); unclamped inductive switching risks secondary breakdown, especially at elevated temperatures or high duty cycles.
Is STT13005FP compliant with RoHS and REACH regulations?
Yes - ST confirms ECOPACK® compliance for STT13005FP per the datasheet's Package Mechanical Data section. It meets RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and REACH SVHC thresholds, with lead-free terminations and halogen-free molding compound, as verified in ST's published ECOPACK® grade documentation.
