Product details
Overview
BUK763R6-40C from Nexperia is an AEC-Q101 qualified N-channel TrenchMOS FET in D2PAK (SOT404) package, designed for automotive 12V power switching. It delivers 100 A continuous drain current at 25 °C mounting base temperature, 3.6 mΩ RDS(on) at VGS = 10 V and Tj = 25 °C, and supports operation up to 175 °C junction temperature - enabling use in motor, lamp, and solenoid load control within high-reliability automotive systems.
For engineers reviewing the BUK763R6-40C datasheet, BUK763R6-40C pinout, BUK763R6-40C application, or BUK763R6-40C equivalent, key selection criteria include avalanche energy rating (292 mJ), thermal resistance to mounting base (0.74 K/W), gate charge profile (QG(tot) = 97 nC), and standard-level gate drive compatibility (VGS(th) = 2–4 V).
Technical Context
This device uses Nexperia's advanced TrenchMOS technology to achieve low on-resistance and robust avalanche performance. Its 40 V VDS rating, 100 A continuous current capability, and 203 W total power dissipation at Tmb = 25 °C are defined by package-limited thermal design with direct-mounting base thermal path.
The FET features a source-drain diode with 0.83–1.2 V forward voltage at 25 A and 25 °C, and exhibits fast switching dynamics: td(on) = 40 ns, tr = 95 ns, td(off) = 129 ns, tf = 92 ns under standard test conditions (VDS = 30 V, RG(ext) = 10 Ω).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 40 V maximum drain-source voltage - defines safe blocking capability in 12V automotive systems with transient overvoltage margin. |
| RDS(on) | 3.6 mΩ typical at VGS = 10 V, ID = 25 A, Tj = 25 °C - enables low conduction loss in high-current PWM motor drivers. |
| ID (cont) | 100 A continuous drain current at Tmb = 25 °C - limited by D2PAK package thermal capacity, not silicon die. |
| EAS | 292 mJ non-repetitive avalanche energy - ensures ruggedness against inductive load turn-off transients without external snubbers. |
| Rth(j-mb) | 0.74 K/W junction-to-mounting-base thermal resistance - enables efficient heat transfer to heatsink via metal mounting base. |
| QG(tot) | 97 nC total gate charge - determines required gate driver peak current and switching loss in high-frequency PWM applications. |
| VGS(th) | 2–4 V gate-source threshold voltage at 25 °C - compatible with standard 5 V or 12 V logic-level gate drive without level-shifting. |
Pinout & Package
Package: SOT404 (D2PAK), plastic single-ended surface-mounted package with 3 leads (one lead cropped); metal mounting base electrically connected to drain terminal for enhanced thermal and electrical performance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (G) | Gate | Controls channel conduction; requires ≤20 V gate-source voltage; threshold centered at 3 V for standard-level drive compatibility. |
| 2 (D) | Drain | Main high-side power terminal; internally bonded to mounting base for low-inductance, high-current return path and thermal conduction. |
| 3 (S) | Source | Power return node; forms common reference for gate drive and load current sensing; connects to PCB ground plane. |
| Mounting Base (mb) | Drain Extension | Electrically tied to drain; provides primary thermal interface to heatsink; reduces Rth(j-mb) to 0.74 K/W. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualification | Validated for automotive-grade reliability across -55 °C to 175 °C operating range, including temperature cycling and humidity testing. |
| Avalanche robustness | 292 mJ unclamped inductive switching energy handling - eliminates need for external clamping diodes in solenoid/motor drive circuits. |
| Standard-level gate drive | VGS(th) = 2–4 V and full enhancement at 10 V - allows direct interfacing with microcontroller GPIO or automotive logic without gate drivers. |
| High-temperature operation | Rated for continuous operation at Tj = 175 °C and Tstg = -55 to 175 °C - supports under-hood placement in engine control modules. |
| Low RDS(on) × QG figure-of-merit | 3.6 mΩ × 97 nC = 349 mΩ·nC - balances conduction and switching losses for high-efficiency 10–100 kHz PWM applications. |

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 VDS, 220 A ID, 1.7 mΩ RDS(on), but requires 4.5 V gate drive minimum; higher QG (130 nC). | Better conduction efficiency at >150 A, but less suitable for space-constrained layouts due to larger H2PAK package. | Select when higher current headroom and lower RDS(on) outweigh gate drive complexity and board area constraints. |
| IRF1404ZLPbF | 40 V VDS, 184 A ID, 4.7 mΩ RDS(on), non-AEC-Q101; higher RDS(on) and no automotive qualification. | Limited to industrial or non-safety-critical automotive after-market use; lacks avalanche energy spec and thermal derating validation. | Consider only for cost-sensitive non-automotive applications where AEC-Q101 compliance and 292 mJ EAS are not required. |
Compared with STL220N4F7AG and IRF1404ZLPbF, the BUK763R6-40C offers optimal balance of AEC-Q101 compliance, 3.6 mΩ on-resistance, and 97 nC gate charge - making it preferred for space- and thermal-constrained automotive modules requiring guaranteed reliability and simplified gate drive.

FAQ
Is BUK763R6-40C suitable for high-frequency PWM above 50 kHz?
Yes - its 97 nC total gate charge, 35 nC gate-drain charge, and sub-100 ns switching times (tr = 95 ns, tf = 92 ns) support efficient operation up to 100 kHz in motor control applications. However, switching losses increase with frequency, so thermal design must account for combined conduction and switching dissipation at target duty cycle and load current.
What is the maximum allowable mounting base temperature for continuous 100 A operation?
The datasheet specifies 100 A continuous drain current at Tmb = 25 °C. As mounting base temperature rises, current must be derated per Figure 1: at Tmb = 100 °C, maximum continuous ID drops to 100 A (capped by package limit), and at Tmb = 125 °C, it falls to approximately 75 A. Derating curves are provided in the official datasheet Figure 1.
Does the mounting base require electrical isolation from the heatsink?
No - the mounting base is electrically connected to the drain terminal, so isolation is required if the heatsink is grounded or referenced to a different potential. Use electrically insulating thermal pads or ceramic washers with sufficient dielectric strength (>500 V) and thermal conductivity (>1.5 W/m·K) to maintain safety and performance.
Can BUK763R6-40C replace BUZ11 in legacy automotive designs?
Not directly - while both are N-channel 40 V MOSFETs, BUK763R6-40C has significantly lower RDS(on) (3.6 mΩ vs. ~50 mΩ for BUZ11), higher current rating (100 A vs. 30 A), and AEC-Q101 qualification. Layout, gate drive, and thermal management must be re-evaluated; the improved performance enables smaller heatsinks but demands attention to higher di/dt effects and gate ringing.
