Product details
Overview
BUK625R0-40C,118 from Nexperia is an AEC-Q101-qualified N-channel TrenchMOS FET in DPAK (SOT428) package, designed for automotive power switching with 40 V VDS, 4.1 mΩ RDS(on) @ 10 VGS/25 A/25 °C, and 175 °C junction rating - deployed in electric power steering and start-stop micro-hybrid systems.
For engineers reviewing the BUK625R0-40C,118 datasheet, BUK625R0-40C,118 pinout, BUK625R0-40C,118 application, or BUK625R0-40C,118 equivalent, key selection factors include its intermediate-level gate drive compatibility (4.5–10 V), avalanche ruggedness (200 mJ unclamped), thermal resistance (0.95 K/W j-mb), and automotive-grade reliability under thermally demanding conditions.
Technical Context
This device implements a trench-gate MOSFET architecture optimized for low conduction loss and fast switching in 12 V automotive systems. Its gate threshold voltage (1.8–2.8 V at 25 °C) enables compatibility with both standard (10 V) and logic-level (4.5–5 V) drive sources, while its 0.95 K/W junction-to-mounting-base thermal resistance supports high-power operation on thermally constrained PCBs.
The FET features integrated source-drain diode with 0.85–1.2 V forward drop at 25 A and 42 ns reverse recovery time, enabling efficient freewheeling in inductive loads. Its dynamic characteristics - including 88 nC total gate charge and 25.9 nC gate-drain charge - are calibrated for robust turn-on/turn-off control under high dV/dt conditions typical in transmission control and solenoid drivers.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 40 V maximum drain-source voltage - defines safe blocking capability in 12 V automotive battery systems with load dump transients. |
| RDS(on) | 4.1 mΩ typical @ 10 VGS, 25 A, 25 °C - enables <1 W conduction loss at 50 A, critical for thermal management in EPS and transmission modules. |
| ID | 90 A continuous drain current @ Tmb = 25 °C - limited by DPAK package thermal performance, not silicon die capability. |
| EAS | 200 mJ non-repetitive avalanche energy - provides single-pulse fault tolerance during inductive kickback in solenoid and motor control. |
| Rth(j-mb) | 0.95 K/W junction-to-mounting-base thermal resistance - allows direct heatsinking via exposed drain pad for high-power density layouts. |
| QG(tot) | 88 nC total gate charge @ VDS = 32 V, ID = 25 A - determines gate driver power requirement and switching speed in PWM-controlled lamp/motor circuits. |
| VGS(th) | 1.8–2.8 V threshold voltage @ 1 mA - ensures reliable turn-on with 3.3 V or 5 V MCU GPIOs without level-shifting in modern automotive ECUs. |
Pinout & Package
Package: SOT428 (DPAK), plastic surface-mounted package with exposed mounting base connected to drain terminal for enhanced thermal dissipation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (G) | Gate | Control input requiring ≤20 V absolute max; 88 nC total charge dictates gate resistor selection for EMI-controlled switching. |
| 2 (D) / mb | Drain + Mounting Base | Main power path and thermal interface; mounting base is electrically tied to drain - requires isolation from PCB ground plane. |
| 3 (S) | Source | Reference node for gate drive; internal 7.5 nH source inductance affects high-speed switching stability and layout sensitivity. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualification | Validated for automotive use per stress test requirements - enables deployment in safety-critical EPS and transmission control without additional qualification effort. |
| 175 °C maximum junction temperature | Supports operation in engine bay environments where ambient exceeds 125 °C - eliminates need for derating in high-temperature zones. |
| Logic-level gate drive compatibility | Turns on fully at VGS ≥ 4.5 V - compatible with 3.3 V/5 V microcontrollers and reduces gate driver component count in compact ECU designs. |
| Integrated source-drain diode | 42 ns trr, 65 nC Qr - enables efficient freewheeling in brushed DC motors and solenoids without external diode, saving board space and cost. |
| Exposed drain mounting base | 0.95 K/W Rth(j-mb) - delivers >90% of heat directly to heatsink or copper pour, enabling 158 W power dissipation at Tmb = 25 °C. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar N-channel automotive power FET applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STL220N4F7AG | 40 V, 2.2 mΩ RDS(on), TO-263 package, 175 °C rated, but higher QG (120 nC) | Better conduction efficiency but slower switching; requires stronger gate driver for same PWM frequency | Prefer when thermal budget allows larger package and lower conduction loss dominates system efficiency |
| IRF1404ZLPBF | 40 V, 4.7 mΩ RDS(on), TO-220AB package, 175 °C rated, no AEC-Q101 certification | Lacks automotive qualification; higher RDS(on) increases conduction loss by ~15% at 25 A | Acceptable only for non-safety-critical 12 V industrial controls where qualification is not mandated |
Compared with STL220N4F7AG, BUK625R0-40C,118 trades 0.3 mΩ higher RDS(on) for 32 nC lower gate charge and DPAK footprint - favoring compact, high-frequency automotive modules. Versus IRF1404ZLPBF, it adds AEC-Q101 compliance and 0.95 K/W thermal resistance - essential for production automotive deployments.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current for BUK625R0-40C,118 at 100 °C mounting base temperature?
The maximum continuous drain current is 87 A at Tmb = 100 °C and VGS = 10 V, as specified in Table 4 (Limiting Values). This reflects thermal derating due to reduced heat transfer efficiency at elevated mounting base temperatures, not silicon current limitation.
Does BUK625R0-40C,118 require a gate resistor for automotive PWM applications?
Yes - a gate resistor is required to control dV/dt and suppress oscillation. With 88 nC total gate charge and 25.9 nC gate-drain charge, a 10 Ω resistor (as used in Figure 3 SOA testing) limits peak gate current to ~1 A and ensures stable 25 kHz switching in solenoid drivers.
Can BUK625R0-40C,118 be used in parallel configurations for higher current handling?
Yes, but with strict layout symmetry: matched gate drive paths, Kelvin source connections, and shared thermal interface. Its positive RDS(on) temperature coefficient (10.1 mΩ at 175 °C) enables current sharing, but internal 7.5 nH source inductance demands careful paralleling to avoid dynamic imbalance.
Is the mounting base electrically isolated from the PCB in standard DPAK layout?
No - the mounting base is internally connected to the drain terminal (Pin 2), so it must be electrically isolated from the PCB ground plane using insulating thermal pads or ceramic substrates. Failure to isolate risks short-circuiting the drain to ground and catastrophic device failure.
