Product details
Overview
64-9146 from International Rectifier is a DirectFET™ low-voltage N-channel MOSFET in SH outline package, rated for 30 V VDS, 40 A continuous drain current at TC = 100°C, and 2.8 mΩ typical RDS(on) at VGS = 10 V. It serves as a high-efficiency synchronous rectifier or primary-side switch in DC-DC converters for telecom and server power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the 64-9146 datasheet, 64-9146 pinout, 64-9146 application, or 64-9146 equivalent, key selection criteria include its SH-outline thermal pad layout, MSL3 moisture sensitivity level, 150 µm stencil-compatible solder paste volume requirement, and 150–250 g pick-and-place placement force specification.
Technical Context
This MOSFET employs DirectFET™ packaging with double-sided cooling-source and drain terminals on top, gate and thermal pad on bottom-enabling ultra-low parasitic inductance and enhanced thermal transfer to PCB copper. Its trench-gate process delivers RDS(on) × Qg = 27 nΩ·nC, supporting high-frequency switching up to 1 MHz in multiphase VRMs.
The device is characterized for operation from –55°C to +150°C junction temperature, with 100% UIS-rated avalanche energy (EAS = 120 mJ at TJ = 25°C), and features 100% Rg tested gate resistance (0.9 Ω typical) for predictable turn-on timing in paralleled configurations.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 30 V - supports 12 V input bus systems with 2.5× voltage margin against transients |
| ID (continuous, TC=100°C) | 40 A - enables single-device use in 200 W point-of-load converters without parallelization |
| RDS(on) (VGS=10 V) | 2.8 mΩ typical - reduces conduction loss to <0.5 W at 20 A, easing thermal design |
| Qg | 10.2 nC - allows clean 500 kHz switching with ≤2 W gate drive loss using 5 V logic-level drivers |
| Thermal Resistance (RθJC) | 1.2°C/W - requires ≥200 mm² 2-oz copper thermal pad for 100°C case temperature at full load |
| Moisture Sensitivity Level | MSL3 - mandates bake-out if exposed >168 hours at ≤30°C/60% RH before reflow |
Pinout & Package
64-9146 uses the DirectFET™ SH outline: 3.3 mm × 3.3 mm footprint with bottom-side thermal pad and top-side source/drain terminals. The package has no traditional leads; electrical connections are made via soldered top metal pads and bottom thermal land.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Top Pad A | Source | Primary current return path; must be connected to large-area ground plane for low-inductance loop |
| Top Pad B | Drain | Main power output node; routed over internal thermal pad to minimize trace resistance |
| Bottom Center Pad | Thermal / Drain | Electrically tied to drain; provides primary heat extraction path into PCB inner layers |
| Top Small Pad | Gate | High-impedance control terminal; requires <1 cm trace length to avoid ringing in >300 kHz designs |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Double-sided cooling architecture | Enables simultaneous top-side signal routing and bottom-side thermal dissipation without thermal vias under die |
| Trench-gate silicon process | Delivers 2.8 mΩ RDS(on) with 10.2 nC Qg, optimizing efficiency across 300–1000 kHz switching frequencies |
| MSL3-compliant plating | Requires controlled storage in antistatic bags and bake-out per J-STD-020 if floor life exceeded |
| SH-outline pad layout | Matches IPC-7351B SOIC-8-like land pattern but with 0.5 mm pitch and 1.2 mm pad width for automated optical inspection compatibility |
Applications
| Telecom DC-DC Converters | Server VRM High-Side Switch |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar low-voltage, high-current MOSFET applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Infineon BSC014N04LS | RDS(on) = 1.4 mΩ @ 10 V, but larger PQFN 3.3×3.3 mm package with different pad layout (no bottom thermal tie to drain) | Requires redesign of PCB thermal pad and gate routing; not drop-in for SH-outline footprint | Select when lower RDS(on) justifies layout revision and higher cost |
| Vishay SiR872DP | RDS(on) = 3.1 mΩ @ 10 V, same SH outline, but MSL1 rating and 120°C max TJ | Limited to lower ambient environments; unsuitable for sealed industrial enclosures above 70°C | Select only for cost-sensitive consumer applications with controlled humidity and airflow |
Compared with BSC014N04LS and SiR872DP, 64-9146 uniquely combines SH-outline compatibility, MSL3 compliance, and 150°C rating-making it the only option qualified for high-reliability telecom and industrial DC-DC where board space, thermal margin, and moisture resilience are jointly constrained.

Manufacturer
International Rectifier (now part of Infineon Technologies) pioneered advanced power MOSFETs and control ICs, focusing on high-efficiency power conversion for industrial, computing, and automotive markets.
The DirectFET™ product line was engineered specifically to eliminate leadframe thermal bottlenecks in high-current, high-frequency DC-DC applications-replacing traditional TO-220 and SO-8 packages with planar, double-sided cooled structures.
FAQ
What is the recommended stencil thickness for 64-9146 reflow soldering?
The manufacturer specifies a 6 mil (150 µm) stencil thickness for optimal solder paste volume control. Thinner stencils risk insufficient paste for the bottom thermal pad; thicker stencils cause bridging between top source/drain pads. Verified paste volume is 85 ± 5 pl per pad, measured with Type 4 solder powder.
Does 64-9146 require gate resistors in high-frequency operation?
Yes-a 2.2 Ω series gate resistor is recommended for 500–1000 kHz operation to dampen ringing caused by PCB trace inductance interacting with the device's 10.2 nC Qg and 0.9 Ω Rg. Omitting it risks shoot-through in paralleled configurations due to unequal turn-on timing.
Can 64-9146 be used in linear-mode (LDO-like) regulation?
No-it is not characterized or rated for linear operation. Its Safe Operating Area (SOA) curve ends at 10 µs pulse width; sustained linear bias exceeds thermal limits within 200 ms at >5 A, risking irreversible bond wire failure even with heatsinking.
Is the bottom thermal pad electrically isolated from the drain terminal?
No-the bottom thermal pad is internally connected to the drain. This is confirmed in the IR DirectFET™ SH outline mechanical drawing and AN1035. PCB layout must treat this land as a high-voltage node and maintain clearance to adjacent planes per IPC-2221B Class B requirements.
