Product details
Overview
BUK7506-55B from Nexperia is an AEC-Q101 qualified N-channel TrenchMOS standard-level power MOSFET in TO-220AB (SOT78A) package, rated for 55 V VDS, 75 A continuous drain current at Tmb = 25 °C, and 175 °C junction temperature. It delivers 5.1 mΩ typical RDS(on) at VGS = 10 V and ID = 25 A, enabling low-conduction-loss switching in automotive 12 V/24 V load control.
For engineers reviewing the BUK7506-55B datasheet, BUK7506-55B pinout, BUK7506-55B application, or BUK7506-55B equivalent, key selection considerations include its standard-level gate drive compatibility (VGS(th) = 2–4 V), avalanche ruggedness (680 mJ), thermal resistance (Rth(j-mb) = 0.59 K/W), and automotive qualification status.
Technical Context
This device uses TrenchMOS technology to achieve low RDS(on) and high current capability in a thermally robust TO-220AB package with mounting base connected to drain. Its gate threshold voltage (VGS(th)) ranges from 1 V at 175 °C to 4.4 V at −55 °C, supporting stable operation across automotive temperature extremes.
The MOSFET features unclamped inductive switching capability (EDS(AL)S = 680 mJ), fast switching dynamics (td(on) = 30 ns, tf = 39 ns), and integrated source-drain diode with VSD = 0.85 V at 25 A and Tj = 25 °C - critical for motor commutation and solenoid flyback handling.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 55 V maximum drain-source voltage - defines safe blocking capability in 12 V/24 V automotive systems with transient overvoltage margin. |
| ID (continuous) | 75 A at Tmb = 25 °C - limited by package thermal capacity; supports high-current loads like starter relays or HVAC blowers. |
| RDS(on) | 5.1 mΩ typical at VGS = 10 V, ID = 25 A, Tj = 25 °C - enables <1.3 W conduction loss at 50 A, reducing heatsink requirements. |
| Tj max | 175 °C maximum junction temperature - allows operation in under-hood environments without derating below ambient 125 °C. |
| Rth(j-mb) | 0.59 K/W - low thermal resistance from die to mounting base enables efficient heat transfer to external heatsinks. |
| EDS(AL)S | 680 mJ non-repetitive avalanche energy - sustains unclamped inductive turn-off events in motor/solenoid drivers without failure. |
| VGS(th) | 2–4 V typical at Tj = 25 °C - compatible with standard 5 V or 12 V logic-level gate drivers without level-shifting circuitry. |
Pinout & Package
Package: TO-220AB (SOT78A), plastic single-ended package with heatsink-mounted mounting base (drain-connected), 3-lead configuration, and 1 mounting hole. Mounting base serves as primary thermal path and electrical connection to drain terminal.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (G) | Gate | Control electrode; requires ≤20 V gate-source voltage; total gate charge QG(tot) = 64 nC dictates driver strength requirements. |
| 2 (D) / mb | Drain + Mounting Base | Main high-side current path and primary thermal interface; electrically tied to mounting base for direct heatsink coupling. |
| 3 (S) | Source | Power return node; internal source inductance LS = 7.5 nH affects high-speed switching behavior and layout sensitivity. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualified | Validated for automotive safety-critical applications including engine control, body electronics, and ADAS power stages. |
| 175 °C junction rating | Enables reliable operation in high-ambient under-hood locations without thermal shutdown or parameter drift. |
| Standard-level gate drive | Operates fully enhanced with 10 V gate drive - eliminates need for gate boosters in 12 V system designs. |
| Low RDS(on) × QG figure of merit | QG/RDS(on) ≈ 12.5 nC/mΩ - balances switching loss and conduction loss for high-efficiency PWM control. |
| Integrated source-drain diode | VSD = 0.85 V at 25 A enables self-commutated freewheeling in H-bridge motor drives without external diodes. |
Applications
| Automotive Load Switching | Engine Control Actuators |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar N-channel power MOSFET applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STP75NF55 | 55 V VDS, 75 A ID, RDS(on) = 8.5 mΩ @ 10 V - higher conduction loss than BUK7506-55B's 5.1 mΩ. | Less suitable for thermally constrained 12 V automotive modules where <1.5 W loss is required at 50 A. | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs thermal performance; verify gate drive compatibility with VGS(th) = 2–4 V range. |
| IRFZ44NPBF | 55 V VDS, 49 A ID, RDS(on) = 28 mΩ @ 10 V - significantly higher on-resistance and lower current rating. | Not qualified to AEC-Q101; unsuitable for automotive safety-critical functions per ISO 26262 requirements. | Acceptable only for non-automotive industrial or consumer applications with relaxed reliability and temperature requirements. |
Compared with STP75NF55 and IRFZ44NPBF, the BUK7506-55B offers superior thermal performance (0.59 K/W vs ≥1.0 K/W), tighter RDS(on) tolerance, and formal automotive qualification - making it the preferred choice for space- and efficiency-constrained 12 V/24 V power switching where long-term field reliability is mandatory.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current rating for BUK7506-55B?
The BUK7506-55B has a maximum continuous drain current of 75 A at mounting base temperature Tmb = 25 °C, limited by package thermal capacity. At Tmb = 100 °C, this rating drops to 75 A due to thermal derating curves shown in Figure 1 of the datasheet. Peak drain current reaches 582 A for pulses ≤10 µs.
Is BUK7506-55B qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, the BUK7506-55B is AEC-Q101 qualified and designed and tested to meet automotive reliability standards. It is explicitly intended for use in automotive critical applications, including engine management, body electronics, and ADAS subsystems, with full qualification across −55 °C to +175 °C operating temperature range.
What is the gate-source threshold voltage range for BUK7506-55B?
The BUK7506-55B exhibits a gate-source threshold voltage (VGS(th)) of 2–4 V at Tj = 25 °C, 1–3 V at Tj = 175 °C, and up to 4.4 V at Tj = −55 °C. This standard-level threshold enables direct drive from 5 V or 12 V microcontrollers without gate boosting circuitry.
Does BUK7506-55B have avalanche capability, and how much energy can it withstand?
Yes, the BUK7506-55B is specified for non-repetitive drain-source avalanche energy (EDS(AL)S) of 680 mJ under test conditions of ID = 75 A, Vsup ≤55 V, RGS = 50 Ω, and VGS = 10 V. This ruggedness supports reliable operation in inductive load switching such as motors and solenoids.
What package type does BUK7506-55B use, and how is thermal management implemented?
The BUK7506-55B uses the TO-220AB (SOT78A) package, where the mounting base is electrically connected to the drain and serves as the primary thermal interface. Its Rth(j-mb) is 0.59 K/W, enabling efficient heat transfer to external heatsinks - critical for maintaining junction temperature below 175 °C in high-power automotive applications.
