Product details
Overview
BUK7E1R9-40E from Nexperia is a standard-level N-channel TrenchMOS power FET in I2PAK (SOT226) package, rated for 40 V VDS, 1.5 mΩ RDS(on) at 10 V VGS and 25 A, 120 A continuous drain current at Tmb = 25 °C, and qualified to AEC-Q101 for automotive use. It serves as a high-current, thermally robust switching element in 12 V power distribution and motor control circuits.
For engineers reviewing the BUK7E1R9-40E datasheet, BUK7E1R9-40E pinout, BUK7E1R9-40E application, or BUK7E1R9-40E equivalent, key selection criteria include its 175 °C junction rating, repetitive avalanche capability, true standard-level gate threshold (>1 V at 175 °C), and mounting-base thermal resistance of 0.46 K/W - critical for high-reliability automotive power switching designs.
Technical Context
This MOSFET uses TrenchMOS technology to achieve low on-resistance with standard 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 internal drain and source inductances (LD = 2.5 nH, LS = 7.5 nH) are optimized for fast switching with minimal ringing in high-di/dt applications.
The device features a monolithic source-drain diode with 46 ns reverse recovery time and 62 nC recovered charge, supporting synchronous rectification and freewheeling in inductive loads. Thermal design is anchored to the mounting base (Tmb), with normalized power derating curves confirming stable operation up to 175 °C junction temperature.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 40 V maximum - defines safe blocking voltage in 12 V automotive systems with load-dump transients. |
| RDS(on) | 1.5 mΩ typical at VGS = 10 V, Tj = 25 °C - enables <1.5 W conduction loss at 55 A, critical for thermal management. |
| ID cont. | 120 A at Tmb = 25 °C - package-limited current capacity suitable for high-power solenoid and motor drivers. |
| EAS | 801 mJ non-repetitive avalanche energy - supports robustness against inductive switching spikes without external snubbers. |
| Rth(j-mb) | 0.46 K/W - allows direct heatsink mounting with predictable junction-to-heatsink thermal path for system-level thermal modeling. |
| QGD | 34.7 nC - determines Miller plateau duration and gate driver current demand during hard-switching transitions. |
| Tj max | 175 °C - enables operation in engine bay environments where ambient exceeds 125 °C. |
Pinout & Package
I2PAK (SOT226) plastic single-ended package with isolated mounting base connected internally to the drain terminal; requires mechanical clamping and thermal interface material for heatsink attachment.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (G) | Gate | Standard-level MOSFET control input; threshold >1 V at 175 °C ensures reliable turn-on with 5 V logic. |
| 2 (D) | Drain | Main high-side or low-side power path; electrically tied to mounting base for low-inductance, high-current return path. |
| 3 (S) | Source | Power return node; referenced for gate drive; forms cathode of integrated body diode for freewheeling. |
| Mounting Base (mb) | Drain Terminal Extension | Thermally conductive metal surface for heatsink attachment; must be electrically isolated from PCB ground unless drain is grounded. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualification | Validated for automotive-grade reliability including temperature cycling, HTRB, and ESD testing per stress test plan. |
| Repetitive avalanche rating | Enables sustained operation under unclamped inductive switching events without degradation, reducing need for external protection. |
| 175 °C junction rating | Supports placement in high-temperature zones (e.g., near engines or inverters) without derating penalties beyond thermal resistance limits. |
| True standard-level gate | VGS(th) > 1 V at 175 °C ensures guaranteed turn-on with industry-standard 5 V microcontroller outputs across full temperature range. |
| Low RDS(on) × QG figure-of-merit | Combined 1.5 mΩ / 118 nC ratio balances conduction and switching losses for high-efficiency 12 V DC-DC and motor drives. |

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, 2.2 mΩ RDS(on), 175 °C, but uses SuperSO8 package with higher Rth(j-a) (3.5 K/W) and no mounting base. | Limited to lower-power PCB-mounted applications; unsuitable for >60 A continuous due to thermal constraints. | Select when space-constrained PCB layout prioritizes footprint over thermal performance. |
| IRFB4115PBF | 150 V, 4.5 mΩ RDS(on), TO-220 package, not AEC-Q101 qualified; higher VDS margin but lower current density. | Acceptable for industrial 12 V systems but lacks automotive qualification and thermal robustness at 175 °C. | Select only for non-automotive, cost-sensitive designs where AEC-Q101 is not mandated. |
Compared with STL220N4F7AG and IRFB4115PBF, BUK7E1R9-40E uniquely combines AEC-Q101 compliance, 1.5 mΩ on-resistance, and 0.46 K/W junction-to-mounting-base thermal resistance - making it the only option qualified for thermally demanding, high-current automotive power switching where reliability and thermal headroom are non-negotiable.

FAQ
Is BUK7E1R9-40E suitable for high-side switching configurations?
Yes - its standard-level gate threshold (>1 V at 175 °C) and 40 V VDS rating support high-side use with bootstrap or isolated gate drivers. The mounting base is internally connected to drain, so mechanical isolation from heatsink is required unless the drain node is at system ground potential.
What is the maximum recommended gate resistor value for 100 kHz PWM operation?
Based on QG(tot) = 118 nC and typical gate driver output impedance, a 5 Ω external gate resistor achieves optimal trade-off between switching speed (td(on)/td(off) < 100 ns) and EMI suppression. Values above 10 Ω significantly increase switching losses without meaningful noise reduction in automotive 12 V systems.
Does the integrated body diode support synchronous rectification?
Yes - the source-drain diode has 46 ns reverse recovery time and 62 nC recovered charge, enabling efficient synchronous rectification in buck converters and motor freewheeling paths. However, its forward voltage (0.79 V at 25 A, 25 °C) is higher than discrete Schottky diodes, so efficiency gains depend on operating frequency and current profile.
How does the 175 °C rating affect PCB layout requirements?
The 175 °C rating permits operation in high-ambient zones, but thermal design must prioritize mounting base conduction: use ≥25 mm² copper pour under the base, ≥25 µm thermal interface material, and mechanical clamping force ≥20 N. Standard FR-4 PCB traces alone cannot sustain >10 A continuous without violating temperature limits.
