Product details
Overview
ZXTN19100CZTA from Diodes Incorporated is a 100V NPN medium-power transistor in SOT89 package, rated for 5.25A continuous collector current, with VCE(sat) < 65mV at 1A and Rsat = 44mΩ. It serves as a high-voltage switching element in PSU startup circuits, motor drives, and solenoid/relay control stages.
For engineers reviewing the ZXTN19100CZTA datasheet, ZXTN19100CZTA pinout, ZXTN19100CZTA application, or ZXTN19100CZTA equivalent, key selection criteria include its 100V VCEO, low saturation resistance, thermal performance on FR4 PCBs (RθJA down to 28°C/W), and AEC-Q101 readiness for automotive-grade reliability validation.
Technical Context
This NPN bipolar junction transistor operates in linear and saturated switching modes, with BVCEO = 100V and BVCEX = 200V for forward-blocking capability. Its fT = 150MHz supports fast switching transitions, while hFE = 200–500 across IC = 100mA–5.25A enables stable current amplification in driver stages.
Thermal design is enabled by multiple derating profiles: RθJC = 4.69°C/W (junction-to-case) and RθJA ranging from 28°C/W (short-duration pulse) to 117°C/W (15mm × 15mm PCB), depending on copper area and mounting conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCEO | 100V - Maximum safe collector-emitter voltage under forward bias; defines upper rail limit in high-side switch designs. |
| IC (continuous) | 5.25A - Sustained current handling without thermal runaway on 50mm × 50mm 1oz copper; supports medium-power loads. |
| VCE(sat) | 65mV @ 1A/100mA - Low conduction loss enabling <0.065W dissipation per switch event at nominal load. |
| Rsat | 44mΩ - Equivalent on-resistance derived from VCE(sat)/IC; simplifies loss modeling vs. MOSFETs in BJT-based drivers. |
| fT | 150MHz - Transition frequency confirming suitability for sub-100ns switching applications like PWM motor control. |
| hFE | 200–500 - DC current gain range ensuring reliable base drive scaling across operating currents from 100mA to full 5.25A. |
| RθJC | 4.69°C/W - Junction-to-case thermal resistance; enables direct heatsink attachment via collector tab for enhanced power handling. |
Pinout & Package
Package: SOT89 - surface-mount plastic case with exposed collector tab for thermal conduction; UL 94V-0 rated, 0.05g weight, moisture sensitivity level 1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 (Emitter) | E | Current return path; connected to ground or low-side reference; requires low-inductance routing for fast turn-off. |
| Pin 2 (Collector) | C | Main power output terminal; electrically and thermally tied to metal tab; must be soldered to large copper pour or heatsink. |
| Pin 3 (Base) | B | Control input; driven with ≥525mA peak base current for full 5.25A saturation; requires series resistor to limit drive current. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| High breakdown voltage | BVCEX = 200V ensures robustness against voltage transients in industrial PSU and motor drive bus lines. |
| Low saturation resistance | Rsat = 44mΩ minimizes conduction losses in high-current switching, reducing thermal stress on PCB layout. |
| Thermally optimized package | SOT89 collector tab provides direct thermal path to PCB copper or external heatsink, supporting >2W steady-state dissipation. |
| AEC-Q101 readiness | Manufactured in IATF 16949-certified facilities; PPAP-capable with change control for automotive start-up and body electronics. |
| Green compliance | Halogen- and antimony-free, RoHS 3 compliant (<900ppm Br/Cl, <1000ppm Sb); meets global environmental manufacturing standards. |
Applications
| PSU Start-Up Switch | DC Motor Drive Stage |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar NPN medium-power transistor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ZXTN2010F | VCEO = 100V, IC = 3A, VCE(sat) = 120mV @ 1A - lower current rating and higher saturation voltage. | Less suitable for >3A motor or solenoid loads; acceptable for relay/lamp drivers with margin. | Select when board space or cost constraints favor smaller SOT23-3 footprint over SOT89. |
| MMBT4401 | VCEO = 40V, IC = 600mA, SOT23 package - significantly lower voltage/current capability. | Only viable for low-voltage logic-level interfacing; cannot replace ZXTN19100CZTA in 100V systems. | Use only in non-critical 5–12V signal buffering where 100V robustness is unnecessary. |
Compared with ZXTN2010F and MMBT4401, ZXTN19100CZTA delivers unique combination of 100V blocking, 5.25A current, and 44mΩ Rsat in SOT89 - making it irreplaceable in high-reliability, medium-power industrial switching where thermal and voltage margins are critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable junction temperature for ZXTN19100CZTA?
The absolute maximum operating junction temperature is +150°C, with storage temperature range from –55°C to +150°C. Derating begins at +25°C ambient; for example, at 100°C ambient, maximum continuous power dissipation drops to ~1.4W on a 50mm × 50mm PCB (RθJA = 51°C/W).
Can ZXTN19100CZTA be used in automotive applications?
Yes - it is manufactured in IATF 16949-certified facilities and supports PPAP documentation. While not pre-qualified to AEC-Q101, Diodes offers AEC-Q101 qualification support upon request for automotive start-up, lighting, and body control modules.
How is the collector terminal connected in the SOT89 package?
The collector is internally bonded to the exposed metal tab on the underside of the SOT89 package. This tab must be soldered to a large copper area or external heatsink to achieve specified RθJC = 4.69°C/W and sustain >2W power dissipation.
What base drive current is required to fully saturate ZXTN19100CZTA at 5.25A collector current?
Full saturation at IC = 5.25A requires IB = 525mA (hFE ≥ 10 assumed for forced beta), with VBE(sat) = 1.075V. A 10Ω base resistor from a 5.5V logic source delivers ~500mA, meeting minimum requirement with margin.
