Product details
Overview
ZXTP25040DFHTA from Diodes Incorporated is a 40V PNP medium-power transistor in SOT23 package, rated for -3A continuous collector current, -40V collector-emitter blocking voltage, and 1.25W power dissipation. It delivers low saturation voltage (≤ -85mV @ -1A), 55mΩ typical RCE(sat), and supports high-side driver and gate-driving applications in DC-DC converters and motor drives.
For engineers reviewing the ZXTP25040DFHTA datasheet, ZXTP25040DFHTA pinout, ZXTP25040DFHTA application, or ZXTP25040DFHTA equivalent, key selection criteria include verified PNP polarity, SOT23 thermal performance under pulsed load conditions, VCE(sat) stability at IC = -3A/IB = -300mA, and JEDEC-compliant reliability for industrial power control circuits.
Technical Context
This PNP bipolar junction transistor operates with a minimum hFE of 300 at IC = -10mA/VCE = -2V and maintains usable gain down to IC = -3A (hFE ≥ 30). Its safe operating area supports single-pulse currents up to -9A with <100µs width and linear derating from 1.25W at 25°C to zero at 150°C ambient.
Thermal design relies on validated RθJA values: 100°C/W on 50mm × 50mm 2oz copper PCB and 69°C/W for short-duration pulses (<5s). ESD robustness includes 4kV HBM and 400V MM ratings per JESD22-A114/A115, confirming suitability for automated assembly and board-level stress environments.
Key Specifications

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| ZXTN25040DFH | Complementary NPN device with identical VCEO, IC, and package; hFE min 200 at -1A | Used in push-pull or complementary pair configurations rather than standalone high-side drive | Select when designing symmetrical driver stages or needing matched thermal characteristics with ZXTP25040DFHTA |
| MMBT2907ALT1G | Lower IC (-600mA), lower VCEO (-60V), higher VCE(sat) (-1.6V @ -500mA); SOT23 package | Suitable only for signal-level or low-current switching, not power gate driving | Choose only for cost-sensitive, low-power bias networks where 3A capability is unnecessary |
Compared with ZXTN25040DFH and MMBT2907ALT1G, ZXTP25040DFHTA uniquely balances 3A current handling, -40V blocking, and sub-100mV saturation in a standard SOT23 footprint-enabling compact, thermally efficient high-side drivers without compromising switching speed or reliability.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous collector current for ZXTP25040DFHTA?
The ZXTP25040DFHTA is rated for -3A continuous collector current at TA = +25°C with appropriate PCB copper area (50mm × 50mm, 2oz). Derating applies above 25°C ambient: linear reduction to zero at +150°C using 100°C/W RθJA. Peak pulse current reaches -9A for durations ≤100µs.
Does ZXTP25040DFHTA support automotive applications?
ZXTP25040DFHTA itself is not AEC-Q101 qualified; however, Diodes offers a pin-compatible automotive-grade variant (ZXTP25040DFHQA) with PPAP documentation, IATF 16949 manufacturing, and full AEC-Q101 stress testing. Customers requiring automotive qualification must specify the Q-suffix part number.
How does the SOT23 package affect thermal performance?
The SOT23 package achieves 1.25W power dissipation only with optimized PCB layout: 50mm × 50mm 2oz copper area yields RθJA = 100°C/W. On minimal 15mm × 15mm 1oz copper, RθJA rises to 171°C/W, limiting usable power to ~730mW at 25°C ambient-confirming thermal pad design is critical for full-spec operation.
What is the base drive requirement to achieve full saturation at -3A?
To achieve VCE(sat) ≤ -220mV at IC = -3A, the datasheet specifies IB = -300mA. This requires a low-impedance base driver capable of sourcing ≥300mA peak current with <10ns rise time to meet the 75.5ns t(on) specification under VCC = -15V conditions.
