Product details
Overview
BUK754R3-40B from Nexperia is an AEC-Q101 qualified N-channel TrenchMOS standard-level power MOSFET in TO-220AB (SOT78A) package, designed for automotive-critical 12 V load switching. It delivers 75 A continuous drain current at Tmb = 25 °C, features 4.3 mΩ typical RDS(on) at VGS = 10 V and Tj = 25 °C, and supports operation up to 175 °C junction temperature - enabling robust control of motors, lamps, and solenoids in engine compartments and body electronics.
For engineers reviewing the BUK754R3-40B datasheet, BUK754R3-40B pinout, BUK754R3-40B application, or BUK754R3-40B equivalent, key selection criteria include its 40 V VDS, low thermal resistance (Rth(j-mb) = 0.59 K/W), avalanche energy rating (961 mJ), gate-drive compatibility with standard 10 V logic, and qualification for automotive systems requiring high reliability under thermally demanding conditions.
Technical Context
This device uses TrenchMOS technology to achieve low on-state resistance while maintaining ruggedness against unclamped inductive switching. Its gate threshold voltage (VGS(th)) ranges from 2 V to 4 V at 25 °C and remains functional down to 1 V at 175 °C, supporting stable turn-on across automotive temperature extremes.
The internal structure integrates a monolithic source-drain diode with 0.85 V forward voltage at 25 A and 68 ns reverse recovery time, enabling efficient freewheeling in inductive loads. Thermal design is anchored to the mounting base (connected to drain), with transient thermal impedance optimized for pulsed power delivery up to 706 A peak drain current.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 40 V maximum - defines safe operating voltage ceiling for 12 V automotive systems with load-dump transients. |
| ID (continuous) | 75 A at Tmb = 25 °C - limited by TO-220AB package thermal capability, not silicon. |
| RDS(on) | 3.8–4.3 mΩ at VGS = 10 V, Tj = 25 °C - enables <1 W conduction loss at 50 A, reducing heatsink requirements. |
| EAS | 961 mJ non-repetitive avalanche energy - sustains unclamped inductive switching events without failure. |
| Tj max | 175 °C - allows direct mounting in high-ambient zones like engine bays without derating penalties. |
| Rth(j-mb) | 0.59 K/W - enables efficient heat transfer to external heatsink, critical for sustained high-current operation. |
| QG(tot) | 69 nC - determines gate drive power and switching speed; compatible with standard MOSFET drivers. |
Pinout & Package
Package: TO-220AB (SOT78A), plastic single-ended package with heatsink-mounted mounting base electrically connected to drain terminal. Dimensions per IEC/JEDEC SC-46 outline; 3-lead configuration with screw-mounting hole.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (G) | Gate | Controls channel conduction; requires ≥10 V for full enhancement; threshold range 2–4 V ensures reliable turn-on with standard logic. |
| 2 (D) | Drain | Main high-side current path; electrically tied to mounting base - must be isolated from PCB ground when heatsink is grounded. |
| 3 (S) | Source | Reference node for gate drive and current sensing; low-inductance bond wire (7.5 nH) minimizes switching oscillation. |
| Mounting base (mb) | Drain extension | Primary thermal interface; provides mechanical stability and low-resistance current path to heatsink - no separate drain lead required. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualification | Validated for automotive safety-critical applications including engine control, lighting, and chassis systems. |
| 175 °C junction rating | Enables uninterrupted operation in under-hood environments where ambient exceeds 125 °C. |
| Low RDS(on) (4.3 mΩ typ.) | Reduces conduction losses by >30% vs. legacy 5–6 mΩ automotive MOSFETs, improving system efficiency. |
| 961 mJ avalanche energy | Eliminates need for external clamping diodes in motor and solenoid drive circuits with inductive kickback. |
| Standard-level gate drive | Operates fully enhanced with 10 V gate voltage - compatible with common microcontroller GPIOs and driver ICs. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| STL220N4F7AG | 40 V, 220 A (Tc = 25 °C), RDS(on) = 2.2 mΩ - higher current, lower RDS(on), but DFN5x6 package requires PCB thermal vias. | Preferred for space-constrained modules needing higher current density; unsuitable for TO-220AB footprint reuse. | Select STL220N4F7AG only if board redesign permits DFN5x6 layout and thermal management supports 220 A. |
| IRF1404ZPBF | 40 V, 184 A (Tc = 25 °C), RDS(on) = 3.7 mΩ - similar RDS(on), but not AEC-Q101 qualified; Rth(j-mb) = 0.75 K/W. | Acceptable for industrial or consumer 12 V switching where automotive qualification is not mandated. | Choose IRF1404ZPBF for cost-sensitive non-automotive designs; avoid in safety-critical vehicle subsystems. |
Compared with STL220N4F7AG and IRF1404ZPBF, the BUK754R3-40B uniquely balances AEC-Q101 compliance, TO-220AB mechanical robustness, and 4.3 mΩ RDS(on) in a thermally optimized package - making it the preferred choice for drop-in replacement of legacy automotive switches without layout changes.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current rating for BUK754R3-40B?
The BUK754R3-40B supports 75 A continuous drain current at mounting base temperature (Tmb) = 25 °C, as limited by the TO-220AB package thermal capability. At Tmb = 100 °C, the rating drops to 75 A due to thermal derating curves in Figure 1; peak pulsed current reaches 706 A for tp ≤10 µs. This rating is confirmed in Table 4 (Limiting Values) and Figure 1 of the official datasheet.
Is BUK754R3-40B qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, the BUK754R3-40B is explicitly AEC-Q101 qualified and designed for automotive-critical applications, as stated in Section 1.2 (Features and benefits) and validated per appropriate AEC standards. Its 175 °C junction rating, robust avalanche performance (961 mJ), and qualification documentation make it suitable for engine control, lighting, and body electronics per ISO/TS 16949 requirements.
What is the thermal resistance from junction to mounting base for BUK754R3-40B?
The BUK754R3-40B has a maximum thermal resistance of Rth(j-mb) = 0.59 K/W, as specified in Table 5 (Thermal characteristics). This value reflects the device's optimized thermal path from silicon die to the metal mounting base - critical for heatsink-integrated designs in automotive power modules and ensures efficient heat extraction under sustained load.
Does BUK754R3-40B have an integrated body diode, and what are its key parameters?
Yes, the BUK754R3-40B includes an integrated source-drain diode with VSD = 0.85 V (typ.) at IS = 25 A and Tj = 25 °C, and reverse recovery time trr = 68 ns at IS = 20 A, dIS/dt = −100 A/µs. These values are documented in Table 6 (Characteristics) and support efficient freewheeling in inductive load circuits without external diodes.
What gate drive voltage is required for full enhancement of BUK754R3-40B?
The BUK754R3-40B is a standard-level MOSFET requiring VGS = 10 V for full enhancement and minimum RDS(on). Its gate threshold voltage VGS(th) ranges from 2 V to 4 V at 25 °C (Table 6), ensuring reliable turn-on with common 5 V or 3.3 V logic-level drivers when used with gate boosters or level shifters - but full-rated performance demands 10 V.
