Nexperia brings FlatPower packaging benefits to bipolar junction transistors

Nexperia has announced the expansion of its bipolar junction transistor (BJTs) portfolio by introducing 12 new MJD-style BJTs in clip-bonded FlatPower (CFP15B) packaging. This new offering released as MJPE-series addresses the ongoing industry demand for more power-efficient and cost-effective designs in both industrial and automotive applications. Compared to traditional DPAK-packaged MJD transistors, MJPE-parts in CFP15B deliver significant board space savings and cost advantages without compromising performance.

The new portfolio includes six automotive-qualified (e.g. MJPE31C-Q) and six industrial-grade types (e.g. MJPE44H11), with VCEO ratings of 50 V, 80 V, and 100 V, and collector currents (IC) of 2 A, 3 A, and 8 A. Both NPN and PNP variants are available. These BJTs complement Nexperia’s extensive CFP portfolio, which already includes a wide range of Schottky and recovery rectifier power diodes – another step toward standardizing footprints across multiple product categories streamlining PCB design and simplifying supply chains.

Used in diverse applications such as power supplies for battery management systems (BMS), on-board chargers in electric vehicles (EV), and back-lighting for video displays, the CFP15B-packaged BJTs maintain equivalent thermal performance (up to 175°C operation for automotive applications) while offering a 53% smaller soldering footprint. Furthermore, the clip technology of the CFP15B package supports exceptional mechanical robustness while also enhancing the electrical and thermal performance of these devices.
