Product details
Overview
ZTX753STOB from Diodes Incorporated is a PNP silicon planar medium-power bipolar junction transistor (BJT) designed for linear amplification and switching in industrial power control circuits. It delivers -100 V VCEO, -2 A continuous collector current, 1 W power dissipation at 25°C, and low saturation voltage (VCE(sat) = -0.3 V @ IC = -2 A, IB = -200 mA), enabling efficient operation in DC-DC converter output stages.
For engineers reviewing the ZTX753STOB datasheet, ZTX753STOB pinout, ZTX753STOB application, or ZTX753STOB equivalent, key selection criteria include verified PNP polarity, TO-92 compatible package thermal performance (Rth(j-amb) = 116 °C/W on PCB), safe operating area under pulsed loads, and validated VBE(sat) and fT behavior across temperature.
Technical Context
This discrete PNP BJT operates with fixed-current gain (hFE = 75–225 @ IC = -1 A, VCE = -2 V) and supports high-speed switching via 140 MHz transition frequency (fT) and sub-microsecond turn-off time (toff = 600 ns). Its breakdown ratings-V(BR)CBO = -120 V, V(BR)CEO = -100 V-enable use in 80 V rail systems with margin.
The device exhibits thermally stable saturation characteristics: VCE(sat) remains ≤ -0.5 V up to IC = -2 A and Tj = 100°C, while Rth(j-case) = 70 °C/W supports heatsink-assisted derating. Output capacitance Cobo = 30 pF at VCB = 10 V ensures predictable high-frequency load interaction.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCEO | -100 V - Maximum allowable collector-emitter voltage before avalanche conduction in common-emitter configuration |
| IC (cont.) | -2 A - Continuous DC collector current rating defining steady-state power stage capacity |
| Ptot | 1 W @ Tamb = 25°C - Thermal limit requiring PCB copper area ≥1 in² for full-rated operation |
| VCE(sat) | -0.3 V @ IC = -2 A, IB = -200 mA - Low conduction loss enabling >95% efficiency in saturated-switch topologies |
| fT | 140 MHz @ IC = -100 mA, VCE = -5 V - Enables reliable operation in audio preamp and SMPS feedback loop compensation |
| Rth(j-amb) | 116 °C/W on PCB - Measured thermal resistance defining junction-to-ambient rise per watt dissipated |
| toff | 600 ns @ IC = -500 mA, VCC = -10 V - Confirmed turn-off delay supporting ≤1 MHz hard-switched applications |
Pinout & Package
Package: TO-92 compatible molded plastic case with E-Line pin configuration (Emitter-Base-Collector, left-to-right when flat side faces viewer).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 (E) | Emitter | Current sink terminal; connected to most negative potential in PNP switching circuits |
| Pin 2 (B) | Base | Control input requiring negative bias current (IB ≈ IC/hFE) to saturate transistor |
| Pin 3 (C) | Collector | High-side current source node; connects to positive supply in high-side switch configurations |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| High V(BR)CBO | -120 V enables robust operation in 100 V bus systems with transient margin |
| Low VCE(sat) | -0.3 V at full rated current reduces conduction losses in linear regulators and motor drivers |
| 140 MHz fT | Supports wideband analog amplification and fast digital switching up to 1 MHz |
| 600 ns toff | Ensures clean turn-off in pulse-width modulated (PWM) power control without tail current |
| Rth(j-case) = 70 °C/W | Enables direct mounting to metal-core PCBs or small heatsinks for thermal management |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar PNP medium-power transistor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MJD2955G | VCEO = -70 V, IC = -12 A, TO-220 package, higher Ptot = 115 W | Requires heatsink; unsuitable for space-constrained TO-92 layouts | Select when higher current and thermal headroom justify larger footprint and assembly cost |
| BC807-40 | VCEO = -45 V, IC = -500 mA, SOT-23 package, lower Ptot = 350 mW | Limited to low-voltage logic-level switching; insufficient for 80 V bus systems | Select only for compact, low-power signal switching where voltage margin is not required |
Compared with MJD2955G and BC807-40, ZTX753STOB uniquely balances TO-92 mountability, -100 V blocking, and -2 A capability-making it optimal for mid-power industrial controls where board space and voltage rating are co-constrained.

FAQ
Is ZTX753STOB RoHS compliant and lead-free?
Yes, ZTX753STOB is RoHS compliant and manufactured with lead-free terminations per Diodes Incorporated's standard product specifications. The TO-92 package uses matte tin plating over copper leadframe, meeting JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 1 requirements.
What is the maximum safe operating temperature for continuous operation?
The junction temperature must not exceed +200°C, but continuous operation at full 1 W dissipation requires ambient temperature ≤ 25°C with ≥1 in² PCB copper. Derating begins at 5.7 mW/°C above 25°C, limiting usable power to ~0.43 W at +100°C ambient.
Can ZTX753STOB be used in avalanche mode?
No-ZTX753STOB is not characterized or rated for controlled avalanche operation. Its V(BR)CEO = -100 V is a DC breakdown limit; sustained operation near this voltage risks parametric shift or catastrophic failure without external clamping.
Does the device require a base resistor when driven by a 3.3 V microcontroller?
Yes-a series base resistor is mandatory. With VBE(sat) ≈ -0.9 V and required IB = -200 mA for full saturation, a 3.3 V GPIO must use RB ≈ 12 Ω to deliver sufficient drive; verify GPIO current capability and add flyback diode for inductive loads.
