Product details
Overview
BUK7Y7R0-40HX from Nexperia is an AEC-Q101 qualified N-channel MOSFET using Trench 9 superjunction technology, housed in LFPAK56 (SOT669) package. It delivers 40 V VDS, 7.0 mΩ RDS(on) at VGS = 10 V and Tj = 25 °C, 68 A continuous drain current at Tmb = 25 °C, and 175 °C junction rating - deployed in automotive 12 V power switching for motor, lamp, and solenoid control.
For engineers reviewing the BUK7Y7R0-40HX datasheet, BUK7Y7R0-40HX pinout, BUK7Y7R0-40HX application, or BUK7Y7R0-40HX equivalent, this page provides verified electrical specs, thermal performance data, LFPAK56 mounting base thermal resistance (Rth(j-mb) = 2.17 K/W), avalanche energy rating (19.9 mJ), and gate charge profile (QGD = 3.7 nC typ) critical for high-reliability automotive power design.
Technical Context
This MOSFET employs Trench 9 superjunction architecture to achieve reduced cell pitch, enabling lower RDS(on) and improved SOA/avalanche ruggedness versus legacy TrenchMOS. Its tight VGS(th) range (2.4–3.6 V at 25 °C) supports stable parallel operation in high-current configurations.
The LFPAK56 package integrates copper clip technology and gull-wing leads: mounting base (drain-connected) provides direct thermal path to PCB, while dual-source terminals (Pins 1–3) and single gate (Pin 4) enable low-inductance, high-current routing with board-level reliability under thermal cycling.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 40 V - Maximum drain-source blocking voltage; defines safe operation in 12 V automotive systems with load dump transients up to 40 V. |
| RDS(on) | 5.7 mΩ typ @ VGS = 10 V, ID = 15 A, Tj = 25 °C - Enables <1 W conduction loss at 40 A, critical for thermally constrained engine bay layouts. |
| ID (cont) | 68 A @ Tmb = 25 °C - Demonstrated continuous current; actual system limit depends on PCB copper area and heatsinking per Fig. 2. |
| EAS | 19.9 mJ - Non-repetitive avalanche energy at Tj(init) = 25 °C; supports robustness against inductive kickback in solenoid/motor switching. |
| QGD | 3.7 nC typ - Gate-drain charge determines Miller plateau duration; enables fast, controllable turn-off in PWM-driven loads. |
| Rth(j-mb) | 2.17 K/W - Junction-to-mounting-base thermal resistance; allows direct thermal modeling from die to PCB copper pour without interface material assumptions. |
| VGS(th) | 2.4–3.6 V @ Tj = 25 °C - Tight threshold spread ensures predictable turn-on across temperature and simplifies gate driver selection for multi-MOSFET arrays. |
Pinout & Package
LFPAK56 (SOT669) is a plastic, single-ended surface-mounted package with copper clip construction, gull-wing leads, and exposed mounting base (drain-connected). Dimensions: 4.41 × 3.62 × 1.01 mm (L × W × H); lead pitch: 1.27 mm.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 3 | Source (S) | Three parallel source terminals reduce bond wire inductance and improve current sharing; soldered directly to PCB ground plane. |
| 4 | Gate (G) | Single gate input with low RG (0.7 Ω typ); optimized for standard 10 V logic-level drive without external level shifting. |
| Mounting Base (mb) | Drain (D) | Exposed copper pad electrically connected to drain; serves as primary thermal path and high-current return; requires solder mask defined stencil opening per Fig. 19. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualification | Fully qualified to automotive stress test standard including 175 °C operating temperature - validated for engine control, transmission, and start-stop modules. |
| Trench 9 superjunction technology | Enables 7.0 mΩ RDS(on) in LFPAK56 footprint - achieves >20% lower conduction loss vs. comparable TrenchMOS devices at same package size. |
| LFPAK copper clip + gull-wing leads | Eliminates bond wires and reduces parasitic inductance by 40%; gull-wing geometry enables AOI inspection and eliminates need for x-ray in production. |
| Tight VGS(th) distribution | 2.4–3.6 V range at 25 °C - allows reliable paralleling of ≥3 devices without current imbalance or thermal runaway in high-power lamp drivers. |
| High avalanche ruggedness | 19.9 mJ EAS - exceeds typical solenoid flyback energy (5–12 mJ), reducing need for external snubbers in transmission valve control. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar N-channel automotive MOSFET applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STL220N4F7AG | 40 V, 2.2 mΩ RDS(on), PowerFLAT 5x6 package, 175 °C rated; higher current (120 A) but larger footprint and no gull-wing leads. | Better for space-tolerant, ultra-low-loss applications; lacks AOI-friendly leadform and requires x-ray for solder joint verification. | Select when maximum efficiency outweighs assembly cost and board real estate constraints. |
| ON Semiconductor NTMFS4C09NT1G | 40 V, 4.0 mΩ RDS(on), SO-8FL package, 175 °C rated; uses copper-clip but no mounting base thermal path - Rth(j-a) only. | Suitable for non-thermal-critical consumer-grade modules; not qualified to AEC-Q101 Grade 0/1; limited avalanche rating (12 mJ). | Choose only for non-safety-critical 12 V subsystems where full automotive qualification is not mandated. |
Compared with STL220N4F7AG and NTMFS4C09NT1G, BUK7Y7R0-40HX uniquely balances ultra-low RDS(on), AEC-Q101 compliance, gull-wing AOI compatibility, and direct mounting base thermal management - making it optimal for volume automotive power stages where reliability, manufacturability, and thermal predictability are jointly prioritized.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current for BUK7Y7R0-40HX at 100 °C mounting base temperature?
At Tmb = 100 °C, the continuous drain current is 48 A, as specified in Table 5 (Limiting values) and confirmed by Fig. 2. This derating reflects thermal limits of the LFPAK56 package and PCB copper area; actual usable current depends on layout thermal resistance and ambient airflow.
Does BUK7Y7R0-40HX require a gate resistor for automotive PWM applications?
Yes - a 5 Ω external gate resistor is recommended for turn-off (per Fig. 3 test condition) to control dV/dt and suppress ringing caused by stray inductance. The device's low intrinsic RG (0.7 Ω typ) makes it sensitive to layout parasitics; proper gate resistor selection ensures stable switching in noisy automotive environments.
How does the LFPAK56 mounting base connect electrically and thermally?
The mounting base is internally connected to the drain terminal and forms the primary thermal interface to the PCB. It must be soldered to a large copper pour (minimum 100 mm² per Fig. 19) and is not isolated - electrical isolation requires external insulation between PCB layer and heatsink if used.
Is BUK7Y7R0-40HX suitable for synchronous rectification in 12 V DC-DC converters?
No - it is a standard-level MOSFET (VGS(th) = 2.4–3.6 V), not logic-level or trench-Schottky optimized for low-VGS drive. Synchronous rectification typically requires ≤2.0 V VGS(th) and ultra-low QRR; this part's Qr = 10 nC and softness factor = 0.78 are designed for hard-switched inductive loads, not high-frequency rectification.
