Product details
Overview
BUK4D16-20H from Nexperia is a 20 V, N-channel Trench MOSFET in DFN2020MD-6 (SOT1220) package, optimized for low-side load switching and DC-DC conversion with RDS(on) = 13 mΩ @ VGS = 4.5 V, ID = 8.5 A, Tj = 25 °C, and AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive use.
For engineers reviewing the BUK4D16-20H datasheet, BUK4D16-20H pinout, BUK4D16-20H application, or BUK4D16-20H equivalent, this device supports high-speed switching in space-constrained automotive and industrial power stages where thermal performance, side-wettable flanks for solder inspection, and 175 °C junction operation are critical selection criteria.
Technical Context
This N-channel enhancement-mode MOSFET uses Trench technology to achieve low on-resistance and fast switching dynamics. Its gate threshold voltage (VGS(th)) ranges 0.6–1.3 V at Tj = 25 °C, enabling robust turn-on with 2.5 V logic-level drive while maintaining <1 µA drain leakage at VDS = 20 V, Tj = 25 °C.
The device integrates an intrinsic source-drain diode with VSD = 0.7–1.2 V at IS = 2 A and trr = 10 ns, supporting synchronous rectification and flyback recovery. Thermal resistance Rth(j-sp) is 4–8 K/W to solder point, leveraging the thermally enhanced DFN2020MD-6 package with exposed drain pads.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 20 V - Maximum continuous drain-source blocking voltage; defines safe operating range in 12 V automotive systems. |
| RDS(on) | 13 mΩ (typ) @ VGS = 4.5 V, ID = 8.5 A, Tj = 25 °C - Enables <100 mW conduction loss at 9 A, reducing thermal stress in compact layouts. |
| ID (cont) | 26 A @ Tsp = 25 °C - Continuous current rating based on solder-point temperature, not ambient; enables higher real-world current than ambient-rated equivalents. |
| QG(tot) | 9.8 nC (typ) - Total gate charge determines driver strength requirement; compatible with standard logic-level gate drivers (e.g., TC4427). |
| Tj(max) | 175 °C - Junction temperature limit validated per AEC-Q101; supports under-hood automotive deployment without derating. |
| EAS | 13 mJ - Unclamped avalanche energy at ID = 1.3 A; provides single-pulse ruggedness against inductive switching transients. |
Pinout & Package
DFN2020MD-6 (SOT1220) is a 2 mm × 2 mm × 0.65 mm leadless, thermally enhanced plastic package with side-wettable flanks for automated optical solder inspection and high-power density mounting.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 5, 6, 7 | Drain (D) | Five parallel drain terminals connected to internal die drain metallization; provide low-inductance, high-current path and thermal conduction to PCB copper pad. |
| 3 | Gate (G) | Single gate input terminal; requires ESD-safe handling and controlled gate drive slew rate to minimize ringing and overshoot. |
| 4, 8 | Source (S) | Two dedicated source terminals; establish low-impedance return path and reduce source inductance in high-di/dt switching. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualified | Validated for automotive applications including engine control, body electronics, and ADAS power stages per stress test requirements. |
| Side-wettable flanks | Enables 100% automated optical inspection (AOI) of solder joints without X-ray, improving manufacturing yield and field reliability. |
| Trench MOSFET architecture | Delivers lower RDS(on) and higher figure-of-merit (RDS(on) × QG) vs. planar MOSFETs, reducing conduction + switching losses simultaneously. |
| ESD protection > 2 kV HBM | Class H2 rating eliminates need for external ESD protection in board-level handling and assembly, simplifying layout and BOM. |
| Extended Tj range (−55 to +175 °C) | Supports operation in extreme environments such as under-bonnet modules, motor controllers, and industrial inverters without thermal shutdown. |
Applications
| Automotive Body Control Module (BCM) | Industrial DC-DC Converter |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar N-channel low-voltage power switching applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ON Semiconductor NTMFS4C09NT1G | RDS(on) = 9.5 mΩ @ 4.5 V but larger 3.3 mm × 3.3 mm SO-8FL package; no side-wettable flanks. | Better conduction efficiency but less suitable for AOI-driven automotive production lines. | Select when lowest possible RDS(on) dominates over manufacturability and footprint size. |
| Infineon BSC014N04LS6 | 40 V rating, RDS(on) = 1.4 mΩ @ 4.5 V, PG-TSDSON-8 package; higher voltage margin but larger die and cost. | Over-specified for 12 V systems; introduces unnecessary gate charge (QG = 22 nC) and layout area. | Select only if future-proofing for 24 V system expansion or higher surge immunity is required. |
Compared with NTMFS4C09NT1G and BSC014N04LS6, BUK4D16-20H offers optimal balance of automotive qualification, AOI compatibility, and thermal performance in a 2 mm × 2 mm footprint-making it preferred for cost-sensitive, high-volume automotive and industrial switching where solder joint reliability and board space are constrained.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current for BUK4D16-20H at 100 °C solder point temperature?
At Tsp = 100 °C, the normalized continuous drain current is 65% of the 26 A rating at Tsp = 25 °C, yielding 16.9 A. This value is derived from Figure 2 in the datasheet and accounts for thermal derating due to reduced heat transfer efficiency at elevated solder point temperatures.
Does BUK4D16-20H support 1.8 V logic-level gate drive?
No-BUK4D16-20H has a typical VGS(th) of 0.95 V but requires ≥2.5 V to achieve meaningful RDS(on) (17–25 mΩ). At 1.8 V, RDS(on) exceeds 50 mΩ, causing excessive conduction loss; it is not rated for 1.8 V logic drive and should be paired with ≥3.3 V gate sources.
How does the side-wettable flank design impact reflow soldering process?
The side-wettable flanks require a specific stencil aperture and reflow profile: solder paste deposit height must be ≥0.1 mm, and peak reflow temperature must reach 245–260 °C for 45–60 s to ensure full fillet formation on all six flanks-verified via AOI using standardized gray-scale contrast thresholds per IPC-A-610.
Is the intrinsic body diode suitable for reverse polarity protection?
Yes-the source-drain diode has VSD = 0.7–1.2 V at IS = 2 A and trr = 10 ns, making it viable for low-loss reverse polarity protection in 12 V systems. However, its 2 A continuous rating (Tamb = 25 °C) requires thermal derating above 60 °C ambient, and external Schottky clamping is recommended for >5 A applications.
