Product details
Overview
BUK762R0-40E from Nexperia is a standard-level N-channel TrenchMOS FET in SOT404 (D2PAK) package, rated for 40 V VDS, 120 A continuous drain current at Tmb = 25 °C, and 175 °C junction temperature. It features 1.65 mΩ typical RDS(on) at VGS = 10 V and ID = 25 A, repetitive avalanche rating, and AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive power switching.
For engineers reviewing the BUK762R0-40E datasheet, BUK762R0-40E pinout, BUK762R0-40E application, or BUK762R0-40E equivalent, key selection criteria include thermal performance under high-current mounting base conditions, gate drive compatibility with standard 10 V logic, and ruggedness in start-stop micro-hybrid and transmission control circuits.
Technical Context
This MOSFET uses TrenchMOS technology to achieve low on-resistance and fast switching with QGD = 33.4 nC and tf = 46 ns under specified test conditions. Its true standard-level gate (VGS(th) > 1 V at 175 °C) ensures reliable turn-on across full automotive temperature range without requiring elevated gate drive.
The device integrates a robust body diode with trr = 43 ns and Qr = 54 nC, and exhibits Rth(j-mb) = 0.51 K/W - enabling high-power dissipation when mounted on thermally optimized PCBs or heatsinks. Its 621 mJ single-pulse avalanche energy supports unclamped inductive load handling in motor and solenoid drivers.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 40 V - Maximum drain-source blocking voltage; defines use in 12 V automotive systems with transient overvoltage margin. |
| RDS(on) | 1.65 mΩ typ @ VGS = 10 V, ID = 25 A, Tj = 25 °C - Enables <1 W conduction loss at 80 A, critical for thermally constrained modules. |
| ID cont. | 120 A @ Tmb = 25 °C - Limited by package thermal capability; derates to zero at Tmb ≈ 200 °C per Fig. 2. |
| Ptot | 293 W @ Tmb = 25 °C - Total power dissipation ceiling before thermal runaway; requires low Rth(j-mb) heatsinking. |
| QGD | 33.4 nC - Gate-drain charge governing Miller plateau duration; directly impacts switching loss and dV/dt immunity. |
| EAS | 621 mJ - Non-repetitive avalanche energy; allows safe operation during inductive turn-off without external snubbers. |
| Tj max | 175 °C - Junction temperature limit enabling operation in engine bay and transmission control environments. |
Pinout & Package
SOT404 (D2PAK) plastic single-ended surface-mounted package with isolated mounting base connected internally to drain. Package dimensions: 15.8 × 10.3 × 4.5 mm (L × W × H), featuring one cropped lead and thermally enhanced copper tab for direct heatsink attachment.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (G) | Gate | Control terminal; accepts standard 10 V logic drive; threshold >1 V at 175 °C ensures turn-on stability in hot environments. |
| 2 (D) | Drain | Main power output terminal; electrically tied to mounting base for low-inductance, high-current path to heatsink. |
| 3 (S) | Source | Power return and reference node; separates gate drive ground from high-side switching return paths. |
| mb (Mounting Base) | Drain Connection | Exposed copper pad soldered to PCB thermal pad or heatsink; carries full drain current and dominates thermal resistance (Rth(j-mb) = 0.51 K/W). |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualified | Validated for automotive applications including engine control, transmission, and start-stop systems per stress test requirements. |
| Repetitive avalanche rated | Rated for repeated inductive switching events without degradation - enables robust motor and solenoid driver designs. |
| 175 °C junction rating | Supports operation in under-hood environments where ambient exceeds 125 °C and board temperatures reach 150 °C. |
| True standard-level gate | VGS(th) > 1 V at 175 °C ensures gate remains fully enhanced using conventional 10 V microcontroller outputs without level-shifting. |
| Low RDS(on) × QG figure of merit | 1.65 mΩ × 109.2 nC = 180 mΩ·nC - balances conduction and switching losses for high-efficiency 12 V power stages. |

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, RDS(on) = 0.95 mΩ @ 10 V, but only 150 °C Tj max and no AEC-Q101 certification. | Higher current capacity suits larger motors, but lacks automotive qualification and high-temp stability. | Select only for non-automotive industrial 12 V systems where extended temperature range is not required. |
| IRFB4115PBF | 150 V, 110 A, RDS(on) = 3.2 mΩ @ 10 V, TO-220 package, no AEC-Q101, higher RDS(on) and thermal resistance. | Designed for broader voltage range (e.g., 24/48 V), but less efficient and less thermally capable than BUK762R0-40E in 12 V automotive use. | Consider only if system requires >40 V blocking or legacy TO-220 mechanical fit; otherwise inferior for automotive 12 V switching. |
Compared with STL220N4F7AG and IRFB4115PBF, the BUK762R0-40E uniquely combines AEC-Q101 compliance, 175 °C operation, and sub-2 mΩ on-resistance in a thermally optimized D2PAK package - making it the only drop-in solution for high-reliability, high-current 12 V automotive power switching where thermal and qualification constraints are non-negotiable.

FAQ
Is BUK762R0-40E suitable for high-frequency PWM applications above 50 kHz?
Yes - with tf = 46 ns, tr = 36 ns, and QGD = 33.4 nC, it supports efficient switching up to 100 kHz in hard-switched 12 V power stages. However, layout parasitics and gate drive strength must be optimized to maintain low switching loss and avoid oscillation.
What is the maximum continuous drain current at 100 °C mounting base temperature?
Per Figure 2 in the datasheet, continuous drain current is 120 A at Tmb = 25 °C and remains 120 A at Tmb = 100 °C - limited by package construction rather than silicon, with linear derating beginning above ~120 °C.
Does the mounting base require electrical isolation from the heatsink?
No - the mounting base is internally connected to the drain terminal. When mounted to a heatsink, the heatsink becomes part of the drain circuit and must be electrically isolated from other system potentials unless intentionally used as a common drain return path.
Can BUK762R0-40E replace older D2PAK MOSFETs like BUZ11 in automotive upgrades?
Yes, with design validation - it offers lower RDS(on) (1.65 mΩ vs. ~40 mΩ), higher current (120 A vs. 30 A), and AEC-Q101 qualification absent in BUZ11. Gate drive remains compatible, but PCB thermal relief and layout must accommodate higher power density and avalanche energy handling.
