Product details
Overview
BUK762R9-40E from Nexperia is a standard-level N-channel TrenchMOS FET in SOT404 (D2PAK) package, rated for 40 V drain-source voltage, 2.4 mΩ typical RDS(on) at 10 VGS/25 A/25 °C, 100 A continuous drain current, and qualified to AEC-Q101 for automotive power switching. It serves as a high-current, thermally robust load switch in 12 V systems requiring repetitive avalanche capability and stable gate threshold >1 V at 175 °C.
For engineers reviewing the BUK762R9-40E datasheet, BUK762R9-40E pinout, BUK762R9-40E application, or BUK762R9-40E equivalent, this page delivers verified package mapping, validated thermal performance (Rth(j-mb) = 0.64 K/W), confirmed gate charge (QG(tot) = 79 nC), and real-world automotive use context - not generic MOSFET generalities.
Technical Context
This device uses TrenchMOS technology to achieve low on-resistance with standard-level gate drive compatibility (VGS(th) > 1 V at 175 °C), enabling direct interface with 5 V or 3.3 V microcontrollers without level-shifting. Its true standard-level gate ensures reliable turn-on across the full −55 °C to +175 °C junction temperature range.
The SOT404 package integrates a mounting base electrically connected to the drain, delivering low thermal resistance (0.64 K/W junction-to-mounting-base) and supporting high-power dissipation up to 234 W at Tmb = 25 °C. Repetitive avalanche rating and 419 mJ single-pulse unclamped energy capability support robust operation in inductive load switching.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 40 V maximum - supports 12 V automotive systems with ≥3× voltage margin against load-dump transients. |
| RDS(on) | 2.4 mΩ typ @ 10 VGS, 25 A, 25 °C - enables <1 W conduction loss at 100 A, critical for high-efficiency motor/solenoid control. |
| ID | 100 A continuous @ Tmb = 25 °C - limited by package thermal capacity, not silicon, per Fig. 2. |
| QG(tot) | 79 nC - determines gate driver power requirement and switching speed in hard-switched applications. |
| Rth(j-mb) | 0.64 K/W - allows direct heatsink mounting for high-power density designs without PCB copper area dependency. |
| EAS | 419 mJ single-pulse avalanche energy - provides design margin for inductive kickback in transmission or starter solenoid circuits. |
| VGS(th) | ≥1 V @ Tj = 175 °C - guarantees turn-on under worst-case hot conditions with standard logic-level drivers. |
Pinout & Package
SOT404 (D2PAK) plastic surface-mount package with isolated leads and integral drain-connected mounting base for direct thermal coupling to heatsink. Dimensions: 15.8 × 10.3 × 4.5 mm (L × W × H), lead pitch 2.54 mm, one lead cropped.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (G) | Gate | Standard-level MOSFET control input; requires ≤20 V absolute max; 79 nC total gate charge defines driver sizing. |
| 2 (D) | Drain | Main high-side or low-side power path terminal; electrically tied to mounting base for thermal and electrical integration. |
| 3 (S) | Source | Reference node for gate drive and current sensing; internal source inductance (7.5 nH) affects switching waveform integrity. |
| Mounting Base (mb) | Drain Connection | Exposed metal pad soldered to PCB copper pour or heatsink; primary thermal path (0.64 K/W) and part of drain current path. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualification | Validated for automotive-grade reliability including temperature cycling, humidity, and mechanical shock per JESD47. |
| Repetitive avalanche rated | Enables sustained operation under inductive switching stress without derating, unlike non-avalanche-rated MOSFETs. |
| 175 °C maximum junction temperature | Supports engine bay placement and eliminates need for external thermal derating in high-ambient environments. |
| True standard-level gate | VGS(th) > 1 V at 175 °C ensures guaranteed turn-on with 3.3 V or 5 V MCU outputs, eliminating gate driver ICs. |
| Low RDS(on) × QG figure-of-merit | 2.4 mΩ × 79 nC = 189.6 mΩ·nC - balances conduction and switching losses for high-frequency PWM motor 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, 1.4 mΩ RDS(on), D2PAK package, AEC-Q101 qualified; higher current but larger footprint and 100 nC QG. | Better for >150 A continuous loads; less suitable for space-constrained modules due to larger outline. | Select when peak current exceeds 100 A and board area permits larger package; verify gate driver can supply 100 nC. |
| IRF1404ZPBF | 40 V, 184 A, 3.8 mΩ RDS(on), TO-220AB package, not AEC-Q101 qualified; lower cost but no automotive reliability validation. | Acceptable for industrial 12 V systems; unsuitable for production automotive ECUs due to missing qualification. | Use only in non-automotive or prototype stages; avoid for Tier 1 OEM programs requiring AEC-Q101 documentation. |
Compared with STL220N4F7AG and IRF1404ZPBF, the BUK762R9-40E offers optimal balance of automotive qualification, thermal performance (0.64 K/W), and gate drive simplicity (standard-level), making it preferred for volume automotive modules where reliability, size, and MCU compatibility are jointly constrained.

FAQ
Is BUK762R9-40E suitable for high-frequency PWM motor control?
Yes - its 79 nC total gate charge and 22 nC gate-drain charge enable clean switching at frequencies up to 100 kHz in hard-switched topologies. Measured turn-off delay (54 ns) and fall time (32 ns) support efficient 20–50 kHz motor phase control while maintaining low switching losses, provided gate driver output impedance is ≤5 Ω.
What is the maximum continuous drain current at 100 °C mounting base temperature?
Per Figure 2 in the datasheet, the continuous drain current is 100 A at Tmb = 100 °C with VGS = 10 V. This reflects package-limited current handling, not silicon limitation, and remains constant from 25 °C to 100 °C mounting base temperature.
Does the mounting base require electrical isolation from the heatsink?
No - the mounting base is internally connected to the drain terminal, so it must be electrically isolated from any grounded heatsink using an insulating thermal pad or ceramic washer. Failure to isolate will short the drain to ground, destroying the device and potentially damaging upstream circuitry.
Can BUK762R9-40E replace older MOSFETs like BUZ11 in automotive designs?
Yes, with design verification - BUK762R9-40E improves on BUZ11 with AEC-Q101 qualification, 175 °C rating, lower RDS(on) (2.4 mΩ vs. ~10 mΩ), and repetitive avalanche rating. However, gate charge is higher (79 nC vs. ~30 nC), requiring gate driver recalculation to maintain switching speed and loss targets.
