FCX593TA

The FCX593TA from Diodes Incorporated is a PNP medium power transistor designed for general-purpose switching and amplification. With a collector-emitter breakdown voltage (BVCEO) of -100V and a continuous collector current rating of -1A, it suits a wide range of medium-power applications. The transistor offers a peak pulse current of -2A and a typical transition frequency of 50MHz, enabling efficient switching up to moderate frequencies.

Key electrical characteristics include a DC current gain (hFE) of 100 minimum at 500mA and 5V, and a low saturation voltage of 300mV maximum at 250mA. The device is qualified to AEC-Q101 standards for automotive reliability and is fully RoHS compliant, halogen-free, and antimony-free (Green). It features an MSL of Level 1 per J-STD-020 and ESD ratings of 4kV HBM (Class 3A) and 400V MM (Class C).

Housed in a surface-mount SOT89 package (TO-243AA) with matte tin plated leads, the FCX593TA is supplied on 7-inch reels with 12mm tape width at 1,000 units per reel. The thermal performance depends on copper pad area, with maximum power dissipation ranging from 1W (15x15mm copper) to 2W (50x50mm copper) in still air. The operating junction temperature range is -55°C to 150°C.
