Product details
Overview
BUK7D25-40EX from Nexperia is a 40 V, 19 A N-channel Trench MOSFET in DFN2020MD-6 (SOT1220) package, optimized for low-side load switching with 18 mΩ RDS(on) at VGS = 10 V and Tj = 25 °C, AEC-Q101 qualified for automotive relay drivers and high-speed line drivers.
For engineers reviewing the BUK7D25-40EX datasheet, BUK7D25-40EX pinout, BUK7D25-40EX application, or BUK7D25-40EX equivalent, this device supports thermally demanding industrial and automotive systems requiring side-wettable flanks for optical solder inspection, extended 175 °C junction operation, and ultra-thin 2 × 2 × 0.65 mm footprint.
Technical Context
This N-channel enhancement-mode MOSFET uses Trench technology to achieve low on-resistance and fast switching: td(on) = 3 ns, tr = 6 ns, QG(tot) = 8.6 nC, and Ciss = 460 pF at VDS = 20 V. Its gate threshold voltage (VGS(th)) ranges 2.4–4.0 V at Tj = 25 °C, enabling robust TTL/CMOS-level drive compatibility.
The device features an integrated source-drain diode with VSD = 0.8–1.2 V at IS = 2.3 A and Tj = 25 °C, and demonstrates avalanche ruggedness of 28.4 mJ (unclamped, ID = 1.35 A). Thermal resistance Rth(j-sp) is 6–10 K/W to solder point, supporting high-power density PCB layouts.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 40 V - Maximum drain-source blocking voltage; defines safe operating range in 12 V/24 V automotive and industrial power rails. |
| RDS(on) | 18–25 mΩ @ VGS = 10 V, ID = 8 A, Tj = 25 °C - Enables <1.5 W conduction loss at 8 A, critical for thermal management in compact designs. |
| ID | 19 A @ Tsp = 25 °C - Continuous drain current rating under ideal board-mount conditions (6 cm² drain pad), usable up to 12 A at 100 °C ambient. |
| Ptot | 15 W @ Tsp = 25 °C - Total power dissipation limit; derates to ~2.3 W at 25 °C ambient on FR4, defining practical continuous load capability. |
| Tj max | 175 °C - Maximum junction temperature; enables operation in under-hood automotive environments and sealed industrial enclosures without active cooling. |
| QG(tot) | 8.6–13 nC - Total gate charge; determines driver strength requirement and switching energy loss in PWM applications. |
| AEC-Q101 | Qualified - Confirmed reliability for automotive electronics per stress-test standard, including HTGB, HTRB, and ESD (HBM 500 V). |
Pinout & Package
DFN2020MD-6 (SOT1220) is a leadless, ultra-thin 2 × 2 × 0.65 mm surface-mount package with side-wettable flanks for automated optical solder-joint inspection. Thermal performance is enhanced via exposed drain terminals on the bottom side.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 5, 6, 7 | Drain (D) | Five parallel drain terminals - collectively form low-inductance, high-current path to PCB copper pour; primary thermal conduction route to board. |
| 3 | Gate (G) | Single gate input - requires <10 Ω series resistance for EMI control; sensitive to ESD due to thin oxide (VGS abs max = ±20 V). |
| 4, 8 | Source (S) | Two source terminals - provide return path for load current and reference for gate drive; define local ground node for switching loop minimization. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Side-wettable flanks | Enables 100% automated optical inspection (AOI) of solder joints without X-ray, reducing manufacturing defect escape in automotive production. |
| Trench MOSFET architecture | Delivers 30% lower RDS(on) vs planar equivalents at same voltage class, improving efficiency in battery-powered and thermally constrained systems. |
| Ultra-thin 0.65 mm profile | Supports ultra-low-profile PCB stacking in space-constrained modules (e.g., motor control ICs, LED drivers, and body-control units). |
| 175 °C junction rating | Permits operation in high-temperature zones (e.g., near engines or power converters) without derating or forced air cooling. |
| AEC-Q101 qualification | Validates reliability for automotive applications including engine management, lighting, and ADAS power stages per industry stress-test requirements. |

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-RDS(on) N-channel switch placed in source-follower configuration with external gate control for reverse-blocking. Use Value: 18 mΩ RDS(on) limits conduction loss to <110 mW at 3 A, meeting USB PD 3.0 efficiency targets while maintaining thermal safety margin. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar N-channel low-side switching applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ON Semiconductor NTMFS4C09NT1G | RDS(on) = 2.9 mΩ @ 10 V (lower), but larger 5×6 mm SO-8 package and no AEC-Q101 qualification. | Better for high-efficiency DC-DC secondary side; unsuitable for space-constrained automotive modules requiring AOI. | Select when lowest possible conduction loss dominates over size, qualification, and manufacturability requirements. |
| Vishay SI2302DS-T1-BE3 | RDS(on) = 48 mΩ @ 4.5 V, SOT-23 package, rated only to 150 °C junction, no side-wettable flanks. | Acceptable for cost-sensitive consumer-grade low-power switches; fails automotive thermal and inspection requirements. | Choose only for non-automotive, low-current (<2 A), non-AOI production environments with tight BOM cost targets. |
Compared with NTMFS4C09NT1G and SI2302DS-T1-BE3, BUK7D25-40EX uniquely balances ultra-compact size, AEC-Q101 compliance, side-wettable flanks, and 175 °C operation-making it the only viable option for next-generation automotive body electronics where all four attributes are mandatory.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current for BUK7D25-40EX at 100 °C ambient temperature?
At Tamb = 100 °C on a standard FR4 PCB with 6 cm² drain pad, the maximum continuous drain current is 12 A, as specified in Table 5 (Limiting Values) of the datasheet. This reflects thermal derating due to reduced heat dissipation capacity at elevated ambient temperatures.
Does BUK7D25-40EX require a gate resistor for reliable switching in automotive applications?
Yes-a 5–10 Ω gate series resistor is recommended to dampen ringing, limit peak gate current, and reduce EMI during fast switching (tr/tf < 10 ns). The device's low QG(tot) (8.6 nC) makes it especially sensitive to gate-drive impedance mismatches in noisy automotive harness environments.
Can BUK7D25-40EX be used in synchronous rectification topologies?
No-BUK7D25-40EX is not characterized or qualified for synchronous rectification. Its body diode recovery time (trr = 14.3 ns) and Qr (6.1 nC) are not optimized for high-frequency reverse-recovery stress, and its gate threshold voltage lacks the tight distribution required for self-driven SR control.
Is the DFN2020MD-6 package compatible with standard reflow profiles for lead-free soldering?
Yes-the DFN2020MD-6 package is qualified for JEDEC J-STD-020D-compliant lead-free reflow, with peak temperature up to 260 °C. Figure 19 in the datasheet provides the exact solder land pattern (0.65 mm pitch, 0.33 mm pad width) and paste deposit volume for optimal wetting of side-wettable flanks.
