Product details
Overview
BUK626R2-40C from Nexperia is an AEC-Q101-qualified N-channel TrenchMOS FET in DPAK (SOT428) package, designed for automotive power switching with 40 V VDS, 5.2 mΩ RDS(on) @ 10 VGS/25 °C, 90 A continuous drain current, and 175 °C junction rating-used in electric power steering and start-stop micro-hybrid systems.
For engineers reviewing the BUK626R2-40C datasheet, BUK626R2-40C pinout, BUK626R2-40C application, or BUK626R2-40C equivalent, key selection criteria include gate drive compatibility (standard/logic-level), thermal robustness in 12 V automotive environments, avalanche energy handling (113 mJ), and mounting-base thermal resistance (1.17 K/W).
Technical Context
This intermediate-level gate-drive MOSFET uses Nexperia's TrenchMOS technology to achieve low on-resistance while maintaining ruggedness under high-current transients and unclamped inductive switching. Its gate threshold voltage (1.8–2.8 V) enables reliable turn-on with both 5 V and 10 V logic sources.
The device integrates a monolithic source-drain diode with 0.8–1.2 V forward drop and 43 ns reverse recovery time, supporting synchronous rectification and freewheeling in motor control. Thermal design centers on the mounting base (connected to drain), with Rth(j-mb) = 1.17 K/W enabling high-power dissipation at elevated ambient temperatures.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 40 V maximum drain-source voltage - defines safe blocking capability in 12 V automotive systems with load-dump transients. |
| RDS(on) | 5.2 mΩ typical @ VGS = 10 V, ID = 15 A, Tj = 25 °C - enables <1 W conduction loss at 45 A, critical for thermally constrained ECUs. |
| ID (cont) | 90 A @ Tmb = 25 °C - limited by package thermal capacity, not silicon, requiring heatsink-integrated PCB layout. |
| EAS | 113 mJ non-repetitive avalanche energy - supports robust operation during inductive kickback in solenoid and motor control without external snubbers. |
| Tj max | 175 °C maximum junction temperature - allows sustained operation in engine bay locations with minimal derating up to 100 °C ambient. |
| QG(tot) | 67 nC total gate charge @ VDS = 32 V, ID = 25 A - determines required gate driver peak current (≥3 A for 20 ns rise time with 10 Ω RG). |
| Rth(j-mb) | 1.17 K/W junction-to-mounting-base thermal resistance - mandates direct thermal interface to copper pour or heatsink for >50 W power handling. |
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 | Control terminal; requires ≥10 V for full enhancement; threshold range 1.8–2.8 V enables compatibility with 5 V MCU outputs. |
| 2 (D) | Drain | Main power output node; internally bonded to mounting base for low-inductance, high-current routing and thermal conduction. |
| 3 (S) | Source | Power return path; referenced to system ground in low-side switch configurations; carries full load current and diode reverse recovery charge. |
| mb | Mounting Base | Exposed copper pad tied to drain; must be soldered to ≥200 mm² internal/external copper for rated power dissipation and EMI control. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualification | Validated for automotive-grade reliability including temperature cycling, humidity testing, and mechanical shock per AEC standard. |
| Logic-level gate drive support | Turns on fully at VGS = 4.5 V (RDS(on) ≤ 10.7 mΩ), enabling direct interface with 5 V microcontrollers without level-shifting. |
| High-temperature operation | Rated for continuous operation at Tj = 175 °C and Tstg = −55 to +175 °C - suitable for under-hood ECU placement. |
| Integrated source-drain diode | Forward voltage 0.8–1.2 V @ 25 A and fast 43 ns trr - reduces need for external freewheeling diodes in brushed DC motor drivers. |
| Low gate-drain charge (QGD) | 20 nC - minimizes Miller-induced switching oscillation and improves hard-switching stability in PWM inverters. |
Applications
| Electric Power Steering (EPS) | Start-Stop Micro-Hybrid Control |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar N-channel automotive power switching applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STL220N4F7AG | 40 V, 220 A, RDS(on) = 1.6 mΩ @ 10 V - lower on-resistance but larger D2PAK package and higher QG (120 nC). | Better for ultra-high-current inverters (>150 A), less suitable for space-constrained EPS modules due to footprint and gate drive demand. | Select when peak current exceeds 120 A and PCB area permits larger package; verify gate driver can supply >5 A peak. |
| IRF1404ZLPBF | 40 V, 195 A, RDS(on) = 3.7 mΩ @ 10 V - TO-220AB package, no AEC-Q101 qualification, higher Rth(j-c) (1.5 K/W). | Acceptable for industrial motor drives but unsuitable for automotive production due to missing qualification and inferior thermal path. | Use only for prototyping or non-automotive applications; avoid where AEC compliance, long-term reliability, or mounting-base thermal performance are required. |
Compared with STL220N4F7AG and IRF1404ZLPBF, the BUK626R2-40C delivers optimal balance of automotive qualification, DPAK footprint, 5.2 mΩ on-resistance, and 1.17 K/W thermal resistance-making it preferred for volume automotive ECU designs where space, reliability, and thermal management are co-constrained.

FAQ
Is BUK626R2-40C suitable for high-frequency PWM switching above 100 kHz?
Yes, its 20 nC QGD, 67 nC QG(tot), and 124 ns td(off) support efficient operation up to 200 kHz in motor control, provided gate driver strength (≥3 A peak) and PCB layout minimize parasitic inductance. Thermal limits remain governed by mounting base temperature, not switching frequency alone.
What is the maximum allowable gate-source voltage during transient conditions?
The absolute maximum VGS is ±16 V DC and ±20 V pulsed (tp ≤ 10 µs). Exceeding these risks gate oxide breakdown. For robust design, keep VGS ≤ 12 V with transient suppression (e.g., Zener clamp at 12 V) when driving from 15 V supplies or in noisy automotive environments.
How does the mounting base connection affect PCB layout and thermal design?
The mounting base (mb) is electrically tied to drain and must be soldered to a large copper area (≥200 mm²) with ≥4 thermal vias to inner/ground planes. This establishes the primary thermal path (Rth(j-mb) = 1.17 K/W) and prevents hotspots; insufficient copper increases junction temperature by >25 °C at 50 W dissipation.
Can BUK626R2-40C replace older 40 V MOSFETs like BUZ11 in automotive upgrades?
Yes, with caveats: BUK626R2-40C offers lower RDS(on) (5.2 mΩ vs. BUZ11's ~40 mΩ), AEC-Q101 qualification, and superior thermal performance-but requires verification of gate drive compatibility (VGS(th) 1.8–2.8 V vs. BUZ11's 2–4 V) and layout adaptation for DPAK footprint and mounting base soldering.
