FZT790A Discrete Power & Signal Technologies July 1998 FZT790A C B C E SOT-223 PNP Low Saturation Transistor These devices are designed with high current gain and low saturation voltage with collector currents up to 3A continuous. Absolute Maximum Ratings* Symbol TA = 25°C unless otherwise noted Parameter FZT790A Units VCEO Collector-Emitter Voltage 40 V VCBO Collector-Base Voltage 50 V VEBO Emitter-Base Voltage 5 V IC Collector Current - Continuous 3 A TJ, Tstg Operating and Storage Junction Temperature Range -55 to +150 °C *These ratings are limiting values above which the serviceability of any semiconductor device may be impaired. NOTES: 1) These ratings are based on a maximum junction temperature of 150°C. 2) These are steady state limits. The factory should be consulted on applications involving pulsed or low duty cycle operations.
