Product details
Overview
64-4059PBF from International Rectifier is an N-channel enhancement-mode HEXFET® Power MOSFET in D-Pak (TO-252) package, rated for 40V VDSS, 9.0 mΩ RDS(on) at VGS = 10V, and 42A continuous drain current at TC = 25°C. It features 175°C maximum junction temperature, fast switching (tr = 74 ns, tf = 38 ns), and rated repetitive avalanche energy up to 77 mJ - deployed in DC-DC converters, motor drive half-bridges, and synchronous rectification stages.
For engineers reviewing the 64-4059PBF datasheet, 64-4059PBF pinout, 64-4059PBF application, or 64-4059PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include verified RDS(on) at 10V gate drive, body diode reverse recovery charge (Qrr = 9.2–14 nC), thermal resistance RθJC = 1.66°C/W, and unclamped inductive switching capability under 175°C junction limits.
Technical Context
This MOSFET employs advanced silicon processing to minimize conduction loss per unit area while maintaining robust safe operating area (SOA) up to 100 µs pulse width at 42A. Its low gate charge (Qg = 30–45 nC) and Miller charge (Qgd = 12 nC) support high-frequency PWM operation with reduced driver power demand.
The integrated body diode exhibits VSD = 1.3 V at 42A and fast trr = 18–27 ns, enabling efficient freewheeling in buck and H-bridge topologies. Repetitive avalanche rating is validated per AN-1005, with EAR = 77 mJ at TJ = 25°C and derated linearly to zero at TJ = 175°C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDSS | 40 V - Maximum blocking voltage before avalanche onset; defines upper limit for input rail in 36V nominal systems. |
| RDS(on) | 9.0 mΩ @ VGS = 10V - Conduction loss of 15.9 W at 42A; enables <1% efficiency penalty in 12V/40A point-of-load converters. |
| ID (cont) | 42 A @ TC = 25°C - Sustained current capability with PCB heatsinking; requires ≥25 cm² 2-oz copper pad for thermal compliance. |
| Qg | 45 nC max - Total gate charge determines driver strength requirement; 15 Ω gate resistor yields ~15 ns turn-on delay in typical layout. |
| tr/tf | 74 ns / 38 ns - Rise/fall times set minimum practical switching frequency (~200 kHz) before switching loss dominates conduction loss. |
| EAS | 310 mJ - Single-pulse avalanche energy; supports reliable operation during load dump or inductive kick without snubber. |
| RθJC | 1.66 °C/W - Junction-to-case thermal resistance; enables direct mounting to heatsink for >70W dissipation at ΔT = 117°C. |
Pinout & Package
64-4059PBF is housed in a surface-mount D-Pak (TO-252) package with exposed drain tab for thermal and electrical connection. The package has three terminals: Drain (tab + pin 2), Source (pin 1), and Gate (pin 3).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Drain (Tab + Pin 2) | Main current-carrying terminal, tied to internal die substrate | Must be soldered to large copper pour or heatsink; electrically connects to high-side switch node or output rail. |
| Source (Pin 1) | Reference node for gate drive and current sensing | Low-inductance return path for load current; critical for stable gate control and accurate RDS(on)-based current monitoring. |
| Gate (Pin 3) | Control electrode for channel formation | High-impedance input requiring low-ESR gate resistor (typically 10–22 Ω) to damp ringing and limit peak dV/dt-induced shoot-through. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low RDS(on) | 9.0 mΩ at 10V drive reduces I²R losses by >30% vs. legacy 40V MOSFETs in 12V automotive loads. |
| 175°C junction rating | Enables operation in under-hood environments without derating; eliminates need for external thermal shutdown circuitry. |
| Repetitive avalanche capability | Rated for repeated unclamped inductive switching up to TJmax; removes reliance on external clamping diodes in motor gate drivers. |
| Fast body diode recovery | Qrr = 9.2–14 nC and trr = 18–27 ns minimize cross-conduction loss in synchronous rectifiers and half-bridge LLC resonant converters. |
| Lead-free construction | RoHS-compliant Pb-free plating and halogen-free molding compound meet IPC-J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 1 (MSL1). |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| IRLR3504PbF | Same die, but in smaller D2PAK-3L (TO-263) package; RθJA = 40°C/W vs. 110°C/W for 64-4059PBF on 1-in² board. | Better thermal performance in space-constrained layouts where heatsink mounting is impractical. | Select when board-level thermal management favors higher RθJC over lower RθJA, e.g., sealed enclosures with limited airflow. |
| STP40NF10L | 100V-rated device with 11 mΩ RDS(on); higher VDSS margin but 22% higher conduction loss at 42A. | Suitable for 48V industrial systems where 40V rating is insufficient, but less efficient in 12–24V designs. | Choose only if system overvoltage transients exceed 40V or if existing BOM uses ST's SuperMESH process for supply chain consolidation. |
Compared with IRLR3504PbF, 64-4059PBF offers superior PCB-mount thermal resistance (1.66°C/W vs. 2.5°C/W) and lower cost per amp in high-volume automotive production; versus STP40NF10L, it delivers 19% lower conduction loss at 24V input but requires stricter input transient suppression.

FAQ
What is the maximum recommended gate drive voltage for 64-4059PBF?
The absolute maximum VGS is ±20 V, but the device is characterized and optimized for 10 V drive. Applying 12–15 V improves RDS(on) marginally (to ~8.23 mΩ typ.) without increasing gate oxide stress; exceeding 15 V provides diminishing returns and raises risk of gate leakage degradation over time.
Does 64-4059PBF require a gate resistor, and what value is recommended?
Yes - a series gate resistor is required to control dV/dt, suppress oscillation, and limit peak gate current. For 15 V drive and typical PCB layout, a 15 Ω non-inductive resistor yields td(on) ≈ 15 ns and dV/dt < 5 V/ns, balancing speed and EMI. Lower values (<10 Ω) increase ringing risk; higher values (>33 Ω) degrade switching efficiency above 200 kHz.
Can 64-4059PBF be used in parallel configurations?
Yes - its positive temperature coefficient of RDS(on) (0.032 V/°C) ensures inherent current sharing. Parallel operation requires matched gate drive paths, symmetrical PCB layout, and individual 1–2 Ω source resistors for dynamic balancing. Derate total current by 15% for thermal margin in 2× configuration.
Is the body diode in 64-4059PBF suitable for synchronous rectification?
Yes - the integral body diode has VSD = 1.3 V at 42A and Qrr = 9.2–14 nC, making it viable for synchronous rectification in buck converters up to 500 kHz. However, for optimal efficiency above 300 kHz, external Schottky or GaN-based synchronous FETs are preferred due to lower forward drop and near-zero Qrr.
