Product details
Overview
BUK6226-75C,118 from Nexperia is an AEC-Q101-qualified N-channel TrenchMOS FET in DPAK (SOT428) package, designed for high-reliability automotive power switching. It delivers 33 A continuous drain current at 25 °C mounting base temperature, 75 V drain-source voltage rating, and 24.5 mΩ typical RDS(on) at VGS = 10 V and Tj = 25 °C, enabling robust control of motors, solenoids, and lamps in 12 V/24 V systems.
For engineers reviewing the BUK6226-75C,118 datasheet, BUK6226-75C,118 pinout, BUK6226-75C,118 application, or BUK6226-75C,118 equivalent, this device supports thermally demanding automotive environments up to 175 °C junction temperature, offers logic-level gate drive compatibility, and provides unclamped avalanche energy handling of 42 mJ - critical for start-stop micro-hybrid and electric power steering designs.
Technical Context
This MOSFET employs advanced TrenchMOS technology to achieve low on-resistance and fast switching with QGD = 9.4 nC and tf = 31 ns, supporting efficient PWM-driven loads. Its gate threshold voltage (VGS(th)) ranges from 0.8 V at 175 °C to 3.3 V at −55 °C, ensuring stable turn-on across automotive temperature extremes.
The device integrates a source-drain diode with VSD = 0.8–1.2 V at 25 A and trr = 42 ns, enabling bidirectional current handling in inductive load circuits. Thermal resistance from junction to mounting base is 1.87 K/W, allowing high-power dissipation when mounted on PCB copper planes or heatsinks.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 75 V maximum - supports full 24 V automotive battery transients including load dump without breakdown. |
| ID (continuous) | 33 A at Tmb = 25 °C - enables direct driving of high-current solenoids and small DC motors without external heat sinking. |
| RDS(on) | 24.5 mΩ typ at VGS = 10 V, ID = 12 A, Tj = 25 °C - minimizes conduction loss and thermal rise in 12 V/24 V power paths. |
| EAS | 42 mJ non-repetitive avalanche energy - withstands inductive kickback from transmission actuators and EPS motor windings without failure. |
| Tj max | 175 °C - certified for under-hood operation in engine bay and transmission control modules. |
| QGD | 9.4 nC - reduces Miller-induced switching losses and improves gate drive efficiency in high-frequency PWM applications. |
| Rth(j-mb) | 1.87 K/W - enables predictable thermal design when mounted on 2 oz copper with thermal vias to internal layers. |
Pinout & Package
Package: SOT428 (DPAK), plastic single-ended surface-mounted package with 3 leads (one lead cropped); mounting base (mb) is electrically connected to drain and serves as primary thermal path.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (G) | Gate | Controls channel conduction; requires ≤16 V DC or ≤20 V pulsed drive; threshold voltage shifts predictably from 0.8 V to 3.3 V across −55 °C to 175 °C. |
| 2 (D) | Drain | Main high-side power terminal; internally bonded to mounting base for low-inductance, high-current return path and thermal conduction. |
| 3 (S) | Source | Power return node; forms common reference for gate drive and load current sensing; connects to PCB ground plane via low-inductance routing. |
| Mounting Base (mb) | Drain extension / thermal interface | Electrically tied to drain; must be soldered to ≥100 mm² copper area for rated 80 W power dissipation at Tmb = 25 °C. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualification | Validated for automotive-grade reliability including temperature cycling, humidity, and mechanical shock - required for ECU, EPS, and transmission control modules. |
| Logic-level gate drive support | Turns on fully with 4.5 V gate drive (RDS(on) ≤40 mΩ), enabling direct interface with MCU GPIOs and low-voltage drivers without level-shifting. |
| 175 °C junction rating | Enables operation in engine compartment locations where ambient exceeds 125 °C, reducing need for remote mounting or forced cooling. |
| Unclamped avalanche ruggedness | 42 mJ energy absorption capability allows safe operation during inductive load turn-off without external snubbers in solenoid and motor control. |
| Low internal inductance | LD = 3.5 nH, LS = 7.5 nH - minimizes voltage overshoot and ringing during fast switching, improving EMI performance in compact layouts. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar N-channel automotive MOSFET applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STL220N6F7 | 60 V VDS, 220 A ID, TO-220FP package, RDS(on) = 2.2 mΩ @ 10 V - higher current, lower voltage, larger footprint. | Designed for high-power traction inverters; unsuitable for DPAK-restricted PCB layouts or 75 V transient requirements. | Select only if board space permits TO-220FP and system voltage stays ≤60 V; not drop-in for BUK6226-75C,118 in 24 V load-dump environments. |
| IRF3205PBF | 55 V VDS, 110 A ID, TO-220 package, RDS(on) = 8.0 mΩ @ 10 V - no AEC-Q101 qualification, 175 °C rating not validated. | Targeted at industrial motor drives; lacks automotive qualification, making it non-compliant for OEM ECU use. | Acceptable only for non-automotive prototyping; cannot replace BUK6226-75C,118 in production automotive systems requiring AEC-Q101 traceability. |
Compared with STL220N6F7 and IRF3205PBF, the BUK6226-75C,118 uniquely balances 75 V rating, AEC-Q101 compliance, DPAK footprint, and 24.5 mΩ on-resistance - making it the only qualified solution for space-constrained, thermally aggressive 12 V/24 V automotive switching where both voltage margin and qualification are mandatory.

FAQ
Is BUK6226-75C,118 suitable for logic-level gate drive without a dedicated driver IC?
Yes - it achieves RDS(on) ≤40 mΩ at VGS = 4.5 V and ID = 12 A, enabling direct connection to 3.3 V or 5 V MCU GPIOs in low-duty-cycle applications. For continuous 33 A operation, a gate driver is recommended to ensure full enhancement and minimize switching losses.
What is the maximum allowable mounting base temperature for full-rated 33 A current?
The datasheet specifies 33 A continuous drain current at Tmb = 25 °C. At Tmb = 100 °C, the rated current drops to 23 A per Figure 1. Derating is linear between these points; operation above 100 °C mounting base temperature requires current reduction to maintain junction temperature ≤175 °C.
Does the mounting base require electrical isolation from the PCB ground plane?
No - the mounting base is electrically connected to the drain terminal. It must be soldered directly to a large copper pour tied to the high-side power net, not to ground. Isolation would compromise thermal performance and violate the device's intended layout for 80 W dissipation.
Can BUK6226-75C,118 replace older BUK6226-75B variants in existing designs?
Yes - the BUK6226-75C,118 is a direct replacement for BUK6226-75B with identical pinout, package, and electrical specifications. The "C" suffix denotes updated wafer fabrication and qualification per AEC-Q101 Rev G, offering improved process consistency and long-term reliability without design changes.
