Product details
Overview
ZXTP5401FLTA from Diodes Incorporated is a 150V PNP silicon planar high-voltage transistor in SOT23 package, rated for -600mA continuous collector current, -150V VCEO, and 310mW power dissipation at TA = 25°C; used in high-side switching, voltage regulation, and industrial power control circuits where high breakdown voltage and low saturation voltage are required.
For engineers reviewing the ZXTP5401FLTA datasheet, ZXTP5401FLTA pinout, ZXTP5401FLTA application, or ZXTP5401FLTA equivalent, key selection criteria include verified VCEO ≥ -150V, hFE ≥ 50 at IC = -1mA, VCE(sat) ≤ -200mV at IC = -50mA/IB = -5mA, thermal resistance RθJA = 403°C/W on minimum pad layout, and AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive-grade reliability.
Technical Context
This PNP bipolar junction transistor operates with emitter-grounded configuration and supports high-voltage blocking up to -160V VCBO. Its hFE remains stable across IC = -1mA to -50mA (50–135), enabling predictable gain in linear and switching modes.
VCE(sat) is specified at -70mV (typ.) for IC = -10mA/IB = -1mA and -500mV (max.) for IC = -50mA/IB = -5mA, confirming low conduction loss in saturated switching applications. Transition frequency fT = 100MHz supports moderate-speed switching up to ~100kHz duty-cycle operation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCEO | -150V - Enables use in 100V+ DC bus switching without avalanche stress |
| IC (cont.) | -600mA - Supports load currents up to 600mA in high-side driver stages |
| PD | 310mW - Limits usable power in SOT23 without forced cooling or large copper pour |
| hFE | 50–135 - Ensures reliable base drive design across operating range |
| VCE(sat) | -500mV max @ IC=-50mA - Minimizes conduction loss in saturated switch mode |
| fT | 100MHz - Allows stable operation in PWM control up to ~100kHz |
| RθJA | 403°C/W - Requires careful PCB thermal layout for >150°C junction temperature margin |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| ZXTP5402FLTA | VCEO = -200V, IC = -500mA, PD = 300mW | Higher voltage margin but lower current capability | Select when system transients exceed -150V but load current ≤ 500mA |
| MMDT5401-7-F | VCEO = -150V, IC = -600mA, RθJA = 357°C/W (larger pad) | Same electrical specs, improved thermal performance on 15mm×15mm PCB | Select when board space allows larger thermal pad and ambient >70°C |
Compared with ZXTP5401FLTA, ZXTP5402FLTA trades current capacity for higher voltage robustness, while MMDT5401-7-F delivers identical electrical ratings with better thermal management-making it preferable for thermally constrained designs requiring full 600mA operation.

FAQ
What is the maximum safe operating voltage for ZXTP5401FLTA in continuous DC applications?
The absolute maximum collector-emitter voltage is -150V (VCEO) at TA = 25°C. For reliable long-term operation, derate to ≤ -120V under worst-case ambient and thermal conditions. Transient spikes must not exceed -160V (VCBO) even momentarily, as no built-in avalanche energy rating is specified.
Can ZXTP5401FLTA be used as a direct replacement for ZXTN5551FL in complementary pair designs?
No-ZXTP5401FLTA is PNP while ZXTN5551FL is NPN; they are complementary types, not drop-in replacements. Their pinouts match (E-B-C), but polarity reversal requires redesign of base drive and load connections. Both share SOT23 packaging and similar voltage/current ratings, enabling matched-pair implementation in push-pull or H-bridge topologies.
Does ZXTP5401FLTA require a heatsink in standard SOT23 mounting?
No external heatsink is required, but thermal performance depends entirely on PCB layout. On minimum recommended FR4 pad (1oz copper), RθJA = 403°C/W limits continuous power to ~150mW at 70°C ambient. Use enlarged copper pours or thermal vias if dissipating >100mW continuously to maintain TJ < 125°C.
Is ZXTP5401FLTA suitable for PWM motor control at 20kHz?
Yes-its fT = 100MHz and documented switching times (td = 386ns, tr = 202ns, ts = 1720ns, tf = 275ns) support clean 20kHz PWM operation with minimal overlap loss. Ensure base drive provides sufficient reverse recovery current to minimize storage time effects in inductive loads.
