PNP transistor in DPAK — 3 A, 30 V, 100 MHz
The STMicroelectronics STD790AT4 is a PNP bipolar junction transistor in a surface-mount DPAK (TO-252) package, designed for medium-current switching and linear applications. The device is rated for a maximum power dissipation of 15 W, making it suitable for power management circuits, load switches, and driver stages in industrial and consumer equipment.
No official successor part is listed by the manufacturer.
Key ratings for the BOM decision
The 3 A collector current rating defines the load-handling capability — this part can drive relays, solenoids, or medium-power loads directly. The 30 V Vce breakdown sets the maximum supply rail; designs operating from 12 V or 24 V rails have headroom. The 100 MHz transition frequency indicates adequate switching speed for PWM frequencies up to several hundred kilohertz. Saturation voltage is specified at 700 mV maximum at 100 mA base current and 3 A collector current, which matters for conduction loss in saturated-switch applications.
