Medium-Power Transistors with Solderable Side Pads

July 12, 2015 by Jeff Shepard

NXP Semiconductors has introduced their first medium-power general-purpose transistors with solderable sidepads in DFN2020D-3 (SOT1061D). The 23 new types with Vceo values of 20-80 V offer a collector current of 1-2 A on just a 2x2 mm small footprint. All types are AEC-Q101 qualified and come with an exposed heat sink for excellent thermal and electrical performance. They are also suitable for automatic optical inspection (AOI).

In comparison to the SOT89, our new transitors have 80% board space reduction. A low package height of only 0.62 mm makes the new product ideally suitable for space-constrained power management applications. The new types complete the medium-power general-purpose transistor portfolio that now include more than 100 types in packages DFN2020, SOT89 and SOT223.

Key features and benefits: High collector current capability IC (up to 2 A) and ICM (up to 3 A); VCEO ranging from 20 V to 80 V; Well-suited for space-constrained medium-power applications; High-power dissipation capability; Exposed heat sink for excellent thermal and electrical performance; High energy efficiency due to less heat generation; Leadless, very small SMD plastic package with medium-power capability; 100% solderable sidepads, suitable for automatic optical inspection (AOI); and AEC-Q101 qualified.

Key applications are expected to include: Linear voltage regulators; Battery-driven devices; MOSFET drivers; Low-side switches; Power management; and Amplifiers.
