Product details
Overview
2SK3434-Z-AZ from Renesas Electronics is an N-channel power MOSFET designed for high-current DC-DC converter primary-side switching, motor drive half-bridges, and industrial SMPS applications. It delivers RDS(on) = 20 mΩ max at VGS = 10 V / ID = 24 A, supports ±120 A pulsed drain current, and features built-in gate protection diode with 78 mJ single avalanche energy rating.
For engineers reviewing the 2SK3434-Z-AZ datasheet, 2SK3434-Z-AZ pinout, 2SK3434-Z-AZ application, or 2SK3434-Z-AZ equivalent, key selection criteria include its TO-220SMD package thermal performance (Rth(ch-C) = 2.23°C/W), low Ciss = 2100 pF typical, and robust 60 V VDSS rating suitable for 48 V bus systems.
Technical Context
This device operates as a voltage-controlled unidirectional switch in hard-switched topologies. Its gate threshold voltage VGS(off) = 1.5–2.5 V enables reliable turn-on with standard 5 V or 10 V logic-level drivers, while the 40 nC total gate charge (QG) balances switching speed and drive loss.
The integrated body diode exhibits trr = 43 ns and Qrr = 61 nC under IF = 48 A, supporting synchronous rectification in buck converters and enabling controlled freewheeling in H-bridge motor control without external diode addition.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDSS | 60 V - Supports 48 V nominal input rails with 20 % margin against transients |
| RDS(on)1 | 20 mΩ max at VGS = 10 V / ID = 24 A - Enables <1 W conduction loss at 24 A DC |
| ID(DC) | ±48 A at TC = 25°C - Rated for continuous high-current operation with heatsink |
| EAS | 78 mJ - Withstands single inductive switching events up to 28 A avalanche current |
| Ciss | 2100 pF typ. - Low input capacitance reduces gate drive power and improves dV/dt immunity |
| tr/tf | 400 ns / 160 ns - Fast edge rates support >100 kHz switching frequencies in hard-switched converters |
| QG | 40 nC - Matches standard gate drivers (e.g., IR2110, UCC27531) without requiring boost stages |
Pinout & Package
2SK3434-Z-AZ uses the TO-220SMD (MP-25Z) surface-mount variant of the TO-220AB outline, featuring isolated drain tab (pin 4) for PCB thermal relief and mechanical mounting. The package is lead-free and RoHS-compliant per Renesas specification.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (Gate) | Control electrode | Receives gate drive signal; requires ESD protection circuitry due to integrated gate-source diode |
| 2 (Drain) | Main current path output | Connected to high-side switching node; electrically tied to metal tab (pin 4) for thermal conduction |
| 3 (Source) | Main current path return | Serves as reference for gate drive; must be routed with low-inductance layout to minimize ringing |
| 4 (Fin/Drain) | Thermal and electrical drain connection | Exposed metal tab provides primary heat dissipation path; must be soldered to copper pour or heatsink |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Super low RDS(on) | 20 mΩ max at 10 V drive enables high-efficiency power stages in 48 V telecom and server PSUs |
| Built-in gate protection diode | ESD-rated structure reduces need for external TVS on gate line-still requires external clamping for >20 V transients |
| Low Ciss and Crss | 2100 pF / 170 pF values minimize Miller effect, improving noise immunity and reducing gate oscillation risk |
| High avalanche ruggedness | 78 mJ single-pulse rating allows safe operation in inductive load switching without snubber circuits |
| Body diode with fast recovery | 43 ns trr and 61 nC Qrr support efficient freewheeling in motor drives and synchronous rectifiers |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar N-channel power MOSFET applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STP60NF06 | RDS(on) = 14 mΩ @ 10 V but higher Ciss = 2900 pF; TO-220AB through-hole only | Lacks TO-220SMD footprint; requires rework for surface-mount assembly | Preferred where lower conduction loss outweighs layout flexibility and thermal resistance penalty |
| IXTP50N065T | Trench gate design yields QG = 32 nC and tr = 25 ns, but RDS(on) = 12.5 mΩ @ 10 V | Higher dV/dt rating (65 V) and improved SOA, but no built-in gate protection diode | Chosen when faster switching and extended voltage margin justify added external ESD protection |
Compared with STP60NF06 and IXTP50N065T, the 2SK3434-Z-AZ offers optimal balance of low gate charge, integrated ESD protection, and TO-220SMD thermal performance-making it especially suitable for space-constrained industrial power modules where layout simplicity and transient robustness are prioritized over marginal RDS(on) reduction.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current rating for the 2SK3434-Z-AZ at case temperature 100°C?
The 2SK3434-Z-AZ has a DC drain current rating of ±48 A at TC = 25°C. At TC = 100°C, derating applies: using the PT vs. TC curve from the datasheet, total power dissipation drops to ~25 W, yielding a practical ID(DC) ≈ 35 A (calculated via √(PT/RDS(on))). This value assumes RDS(on) increases to ~25 mΩ at elevated temperature.
Does the 2SK3434-Z-AZ require external gate protection beyond its internal diode?
Yes-the internal gate-source diode provides basic ESD protection but is not rated for sustained overvoltage. Per Renesas documentation, an external Zener clamp (e.g., 15 V) between gate and source is required if VGS may exceed ±20 V during operation or layout transients. The 2SK3434-Z-AZ datasheet explicitly states "an additional protection circuit is externally required" under such conditions.
Can the 2SK3434-Z-AZ be used in synchronous rectification applications?
Yes-the 2SK3434-Z-AZ supports synchronous rectification via its body diode characteristics: trr = 43 ns and Qrr = 61 nC at IF = 48 A. Its low RDS(on) ensures minimal conduction loss when actively driven, and the fast reverse recovery enables efficient operation in buck and forward converters up to 300 kHz.
What is the thermal resistance from channel to case (Rth(ch-C)) for the 2SK3434-Z-AZ?
The 2SK3434-Z-AZ has Rth(ch-C) = 2.23°C/W, as confirmed in the Transient Thermal Resistance vs. Pulse Width graph (Fig. 4, page 4 of D14603EJ3V0DS). This value is measured under single-pulse conditions and applies to the TO-220SMD package with proper soldering to a 1-in² 2-oz copper pad.
Is the 2SK3434-Z-AZ RoHS compliant and lead-free?
Yes-the 2SK3434-Z-AZ is manufactured as a lead-free, RoHS-compliant device. Renesas confirms environmental compliance in its general notices and packaging specifications; the TO-220SMD (MP-25Z) package used for 2SK3434-Z-AZ meets JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 1 and EU RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU requirements.
