Product details
Overview
ZXTP2014GTA from Diodes Incorporated is a 140V PNP medium-power low-saturation transistor in SOT223 package, rated for -4A continuous collector current and -10A peak pulse current, with VCE(sat) < -120mV at -1A, RSAT = 92mΩ, and AEC-Q101 qualification-used in automotive power switching, industrial DC-DC converters, and high-voltage load control circuits.
For engineers reviewing the ZXTP2014GTA datasheet, ZXTP2014GTA pinout, ZXTP2014GTA application, or ZXTP2014GTA equivalent, key selection criteria include breakdown voltage (BVCEO = -140V), saturation resistance (92mΩ), thermal resistance (RθJA = 41.7°C/W on 52mm × 52mm 2oz Cu), and AEC-Q101 reliability compliance for automotive-grade designs.
Technical Context
This PNP bipolar junction transistor operates as a high-voltage, medium-current switch with specified hFE up to 100 at -10A, enabling stable gain hold-up under heavy load conditions. Its low VCE(sat) and RSAT minimize conduction losses in linear and switching modes.
The device features robust ESD protection (8kV HBM), operates across -55°C to +150°C, and uses a green, halogen-free molding compound compliant with UL 94V-0-designed for thermally demanding, safety-critical automotive and industrial environments where high BVCEO and low thermal resistance are essential.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| BVCEO | -140 V - supports high-side switching in 48V+ automotive systems without breakdown risk |
| IC (continuous) | -4 A - enables direct drive of solenoids, relays, and motor windings in industrial controls |
| VCE(sat) | < -120 mV @ -1A - reduces power loss to <120mW at rated current, easing thermal design |
| RSAT | 92 mΩ - provides predictable on-resistance for precise current sensing and loss modeling |
| hFE | 45–100 @ -3A - ensures sufficient current gain for base-drive efficiency in high-current switching |
| RθJA | 41.7 °C/W - requires only modest copper area (52mm × 52mm 2oz) for 3W dissipation at ambient |
| ESD HBM | 8,000 V - withstands handling and board-level transients without gate oxide damage |
Pinout & Package
Package: SOT223, surface-mount, 3-terminal plastic case with exposed collector tab for thermal enhancement and mechanical anchoring. Molded compound meets UL 94V-0 and is halogen/antimony-free.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Collector (Tab) | Main current path output terminal | Exposed metal tab serves as primary heat sink interface and must be soldered to large copper pour |
| Emitter | Current source node for PNP operation | Connected to higher potential rail; defines reference for base-emitter biasing |
| Base | Control input for transistor turn-on/off | Requires current-limited drive (e.g., 100mA max) to achieve full saturation at -1A IC |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualified | Validated for automotive power electronics per stress test requirements including temperature cycling and HTRB |
| Low VCE(sat) & RSAT | Enables <120mW conduction loss at -1A, reducing heatsink size and system footprint |
| High BVCEO (-140V) | Supports 48V battery systems with margin against load-dump transients up to ±120V |
| Green, RoHS-compliant construction | Halogen-free (<900ppm Br/Cl), antimony-free, and lead-free-meets global environmental compliance mandates |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar PNP high-voltage switching applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ZXTP2029GTA | BVCEO = -200V, IC = -3A, VCE(sat) = -150mV @ -1A | Higher voltage margin but lower current rating and higher saturation loss | Select when >160V system transients dominate over continuous current demand |
| MJD2955T4G | BVCEO = -70V, IC = -10A, VCE(sat) = -1.8V @ -5A | Higher current capacity but insufficient voltage rating for 48V+ systems | Choose only for 24V or lower industrial applications requiring >5A continuous current |
Compared with ZXTP2014GTA, ZXTP2029GTA trades current capability for enhanced voltage robustness, while MJD2955T4G offers higher current but fails to meet 48V+ automotive transient requirements-making ZXTP2014GTA the optimal balance of voltage, current, and loss performance in AEC-Q101-compliant designs.

FAQ
What is the maximum safe operating voltage for ZXTP2014GTA in continuous DC applications?
The ZXTP2014GTA has a guaranteed minimum BVCEO of -140V, making it suitable for continuous DC operation up to -130V with appropriate derating. For automotive 48V systems subject to ISO 7637-2 load dump transients (up to ±120V), this provides adequate margin without external clamping.
Can ZXTP2014GTA be used in parallel for higher current handling?
No-this PNP BJT lacks inherent current-sharing characteristics due to negative temperature coefficient of VCE(sat). Parallel operation risks thermal runaway unless actively balanced with emitter resistors and matched devices. For >4A, use a single higher-rated device or MOSFET-based solution.
Is the SOT223 package's exposed collector tab electrically isolated from other pins?
No-the collector tab is electrically connected to the collector terminal and must be treated as a live high-current node. It is not insulated; PCB layout must maintain required creepage and clearance distances (per IPC-2221) between the tab and adjacent traces or planes.
Does ZXTP2014GTA require a base resistor when driven directly from a 3.3V microcontroller GPIO?
Yes-a series base resistor is mandatory. With VBE(sat) ≈ -940mV and typical IB = -100mA for -1A IC, a 3.3V GPIO must limit base current to avoid exceeding IBM. A 22Ω resistor yields ~105mA base drive, ensuring saturation while staying within safe SOA limits.
