400 V NPN for flyback and line-voltage switching
The STMicroelectronics ST13003-K is an NPN bipolar power transistor rated for 400 V collector-emitter breakdown and 1.5 A continuous collector current, housed in a SOT-32-3 (TO-225AA / TO-126-3) through-hole package. It targets low-power flyback converters, auxiliary switch-mode supplies, and line-voltage switching circuits where a single high-voltage transistor handles the primary-side switching.
Vce(sat) is specified at 1.5 V maximum with 500 mA base drive and 1.5 A collector current. The 1 mA maximum collector cutoff current at high temperature is typical for a 400 V part.
Package and mounting — SOT-32-3 through-hole
The ST13003-K comes in a SOT-32-3 through-hole package. It's a three-lead device with the collector connected to the metal tab — the tab is not isolated, so if you bolt it to a heatsink, use an insulating washer or keep the heatsink floating.
