Product details
Overview
BUK7240-100A,118 from Nexperia is an AEC-Q101 qualified N-channel TrenchMOS standard-level power MOSFET in DPAK (SOT428) package, designed for automotive-critical 12 V/24 V load switching. It delivers 34 A continuous drain current at 25 °C mounting base temperature, 100 mΩ RDS(on) at 175 °C junction temperature, and 122.5 mJ unclamped avalanche energy - enabling robust operation in motor, lamp, and solenoid control circuits.
For engineers reviewing the BUK7240-100A datasheet, BUK7240-100A pinout, BUK7240-100A application, or BUK7240-100A equivalent, this device is selected for thermally demanding automotive power switching where gate drive compatibility with 10 V logic, 175 °C junction rating, and low conduction loss are mandatory design requirements.
Technical Context
This MOSFET uses TrenchMOS technology to achieve low RDS(on) while maintaining ruggedness under repetitive and unclamped avalanche stress. Its gate threshold voltage (VGS(th)) ranges from 1 V at 175 °C to 4.4 V at –55 °C, ensuring reliable turn-on across automotive temperature extremes.
The device features integrated source-drain diode with 0.85–1.2 V forward voltage at 25 A and 70 ns reverse recovery time, supporting freewheeling in inductive loads. Thermal resistance from junction to mounting base is 1.3 K/W, enabling high-power dissipation when mounted on a thermally optimized PCB copper area.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 100 V maximum - supports 24 V automotive systems with ≥4× safety margin against load dump transients. |
| ID (continuous) | 34 A at Tmb = 25 °C - enables direct driving of high-current solenoids or small DC motors without external heatsinking. |
| RDS(on) | 34–40 mΩ at 25 °C / 100 mΩ at 175 °C - ensures <1.2 W conduction loss at 25 A, critical for thermal management in sealed enclosures. |
| EAS | 122.5 mJ unclamped avalanche energy - sustains single-event inductive kickback from 35 A coil currents without failure. |
| Tj max | 175 °C - certified for under-hood automotive environments including engine control modules and body controllers. |
| QG | ~60 nC typical - compatible with standard 10 V microcontroller GPIO or dedicated gate drivers without excessive drive power demand. |
| Ciss | 1720–2293 pF - defines input capacitance affecting switching speed and driver sizing for PWM frequencies up to 100 kHz. |
Pinout & Package
Package: DPAK (SOT428), plastic surface-mount package with exposed mounting base electrically connected to drain. Dimensions per JEDEC TO-252 outline; requires minimum 200 mm² copper pour for thermal performance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (G) | Gate | Control terminal; accepts 10 V logic-level drive; 2–4 V threshold ensures compatibility with 3.3 V/5 V MCUs when derated. |
| 2 (D) | Drain | Main power output; internally bonded to mounting base - must be connected to system ground plane or heatsink for thermal and electrical integrity. |
| 3 (S) | Source | Power return path; referenced to gate drive circuit ground; forms low-side switch configuration with common-source topology. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualification | Validated for automotive-grade reliability including HTOL, TC, and HTRB - required for ECU, lighting, and power distribution modules. |
| Low RDS(on) at high temperature | 100 mΩ @ 175 °C - maintains efficiency in hot under-hood locations where ambient exceeds 105 °C. |
| Standard-level gate drive | 10 V VGS fully enhances device - eliminates need for charge pump or level shifter in 12 V battery-referenced systems. |
| Robust avalanche capability | 122.5 mJ EAS - protects against inductive energy release during sudden current interruption in motor/solenoid circuits. |
| Thermal performance | Rth(j-mb) = 1.3 K/W - enables >100 W power handling with proper PCB copper area, reducing need for discrete heatsinks. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar N-channel automotive power MOSFET applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STL220N10F7 | 100 V, 220 A, 3.5 mΩ RDS(on) @ 25 °C; PowerFLAT 5x6 package; higher current, lower RDS(on), but requires gate driver due to 4.5 V VGS(th). | Better suited for high-efficiency 48 V systems or high-frequency synchronous rectification; not drop-in for 10 V gate drive. | Select when board space allows larger package and gate drive circuitry is available; avoid if using 10 V MCU outputs directly. |
| IRF3205PBF | 55 V, 110 A, 8 mΩ RDS(on); TO-220 package; non-automotive grade; no AEC-Q101 qualification; higher RDS(on) at 175 °C. | Limited to non-safety-critical industrial use; lacks thermal and reliability validation for automotive deployment. | Acceptable only for cost-sensitive prototyping or non-automotive 12 V applications; not suitable for production automotive designs. |
Compared with STL220N10F7 and IRF3205PBF, the BUK7240-100A uniquely balances AEC-Q101 compliance, 10 V gate compatibility, and 175 °C operation in a compact DPAK - making it the only viable choice for volume automotive low-side switching where qualification, thermal margin, and drive simplicity are jointly required.

FAQ
Is BUK7240-100A,118 qualified for automotive applications?
Yes. It is fully AEC-Q101 qualified and specified for automotive-critical use, including operation from –55 °C to +175 °C junction temperature. The device undergoes rigorous stress testing for high-temperature operating life, temperature cycling, and humidity bias, meeting requirements for engine bay and under-dash modules.
What is the recommended PCB layout for thermal performance?
Mount the DPAK package on ≥200 mm² of 2 oz copper connected to the drain (pin 2 and mounting base). Use ≥4 thermal vias (0.3 mm diameter, spaced ≤2 mm apart) beneath the pad to inner-layer ground planes. Avoid narrow traces on source/gate paths to minimize parasitic inductance during switching.
Can BUK7240-100A,118 be used in high-frequency PWM applications?
Yes - with appropriate gate drive. Its 1720–2293 pF Ciss, 133–182 pF Crss, and 12 ns td(on) support PWM operation up to 100 kHz. For optimal efficiency, use a gate driver capable of ±2 A peak current and minimize gate loop inductance with short, wide traces and local 100 nF decoupling.
Does the device include integrated protection features?
No integrated protection circuitry is present. However, its inherent avalanche ruggedness (122.5 mJ EAS) and 175 °C junction rating provide passive robustness against overvoltage and overtemperature events. External protection - such as gate resistor limiting, TVS diodes, and current sensing - remains necessary for full system reliability.
