Automotive-grade NPN power transistor in D²PAK
It is qualified to AEC-Q101, making it suitable for automotive under-hood and chassis-domain applications such as solenoid drivers, motor pre-drivers, and DC-DC converter stages. The device comes in a D²PAK (TO-263-3) surface-mount package with a tab for heatsinking, and is rated for a junction temperature up to 150°C.
80 V / 10 A — sizing the load and voltage headroom
The 50 W power ceiling means continuous operation at 10 A requires the tab to be well-thermally coupled to the PCB or a heatsink — the D²PAK footprint is designed for that. The saturation voltage is specified at 1 V maximum at 8 A collector current with 400 mA base drive, which keeps conduction losses manageable in switching applications.
Package and mounting — D²PAK with tab
The D²PAK (TO-263-3) package has two leads plus the tab, which is the collector. Surface-mount reflow profile follows standard MSL 1 (if the reel is sealed) — no special bake needed unless the moisture barrier has been breached.
