Product details
Overview
BUK9219-55A from Nexperia is a logic-level N-channel TrenchMOS FET in DPAK (SOT428) package, rated for 55 V VDS, 55 A continuous drain current at Tmb = 25 °C, and 175 °C junction temperature. It delivers 20 mΩ RDS(on) at VGS = 4.5 V and is AEC-Q101 qualified for automotive power switching of 12 V/24 V loads including motors, lamps, and solenoids.
For engineers reviewing the BUK9219-55A datasheet, BUK9219-55A pinout, BUK9219-55A application, or BUK9219-55A equivalent, this device supports thermally demanding automotive environments, enables direct microcontroller gate drive without level shifting, and provides robust unclamped avalanche energy handling (120 mJ).
Technical Context
This MOSFET uses TrenchMOS technology to achieve low on-resistance with logic-level gate drive compatibility (VGS(th) = 1.0–2.0 V at 25 °C). Its thermal design centers on mounting-base cooling, with Rth(j-mb) = 1.3 K/W enabling high-power dissipation when soldered to a PCB copper plane.
The device features integrated source-drain diode (VSD = 0.85 V at 25 A), fast switching (td(off) = 400 ns), and rugged avalanche capability-critical for inductive load commutation in automotive body control modules and motor drivers.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 55 V - Maximum drain-source blocking voltage for 12 V/24 V automotive systems with transient margin. |
| ID (continuous) | 55 A at Tmb = 25 °C - Supports high-current DC loads like radiator fans or seat motors without external heatsink under adequate PCB copper. |
| RDS(on) | 20 mΩ at VGS = 4.5 V, Tj = 25 °C - Enables <1 W conduction loss at 5 A, reducing thermal stress in compact layouts. |
| EAS | 120 mJ unclamped avalanche energy - Withstands inductive kickback from solenoids or brushed DC motors without failure. |
| Tj(max) | 175 °C - Qualified for under-hood applications where ambient temperatures exceed 125 °C. |
| Ciss | 2190 pF typical - Low input capacitance allows fast turn-on with modest gate drive strength (e.g., MCU GPIO + 10 Ω series resistor). |
| QG | ~60 nC (inferred from Figure 9 at VDD = 14 V) - Gate charge compatible with standard logic-level drivers for <1 µs switching transitions. |
Pinout & Package
Package: SOT428 (DPAK), plastic single-ended surface-mounted package with 3 leads (lead 1 cropped); mounting base (mb) electrically connected to drain for low-inductance thermal path.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (G) | Gate | Logic-level control input; threshold voltage 1.0–2.0 V enables direct drive from 3.3 V or 5 V MCUs. |
| 2 (D) | Drain | Main high-side or low-side power switch node; internally bonded to mounting base for thermal and electrical connection. |
| 3 (S) | Source | Power return path; referenced to system ground in low-side configuration or to load in high-side layout. |
| Mounting base (mb) | Drain extension | Exposed copper pad soldered to PCB thermal plane; primary heat extraction path (Rth(j-mb) = 1.3 K/W). |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Logic-level gate drive | Operates fully enhanced at VGS ≥ 4.5 V - eliminates need for gate driver ICs in 3.3 V/5 V controller designs. |
| AEC-Q101 qualification | Validated for automotive safety-critical functions including engine management and chassis control subsystems. |
| 175 °C junction rating | Enables operation in under-hood locations (e.g., battery disconnect units, HVAC actuators) without derating at high ambient. |
| Low RDS(on) × QG figure-of-merit | ~1.2 Ω·nC (20 mΩ × 60 nC) - balances conduction and switching losses for high-efficiency PWM motor control. |
| Integrated source-drain diode | VSD = 0.85 V at 25 A - provides freewheeling path for inductive loads, reducing external component count. |
Applications
| Automotive Body Control Module | 12 V/24 V DC Motor Driver |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar N-channel logic-level power switching applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STL220N4F7AG | 40 V VDS, 220 A pulsed, 3.7 mΩ RDS(on) at 10 V - higher current, lower RDS(on), but not AEC-Q101 qualified. | Targeted at industrial motor drives, not automotive-critical systems. | Select only for non-automotive 12 V applications requiring higher peak current and lower conduction loss. |
| IRF3205PBF | 55 V VDS, 110 A pulsed, 8 mΩ RDS(on) at 10 V - no logic-level drive (VGS(th) = 2–4 V), requires 10 V gate drive. | Suitable for legacy 5 V logic systems with gate driver support; lacks AEC-Q101 and 175 °C rating. | Choose only if existing 10 V gate infrastructure exists and automotive qualification is not required. |
Compared with STL220N4F7AG and IRF3205PBF, the BUK9219-55A uniquely combines AEC-Q101 qualification, true logic-level operation (4.5 V drive), and 175 °C capability - making it the only drop-in solution for new automotive designs requiring functional safety and thermal resilience without gate boosting.

FAQ
Is BUK9219-55A suitable for high-side switching configurations?
Yes - its 55 V VDS rating and 175 °C junction temperature support high-side use in 24 V systems. The mounting base is tied to drain, so thermal design must isolate the base from ground planes. Gate drive requires a floating or bootstrap circuit to maintain VGS ≥ 4.5 V relative to source potential.
What is the maximum safe continuous current at 100 °C mounting base temperature?
Per Figure 1 in the datasheet, normalized ID drops to ~65% at Tmb = 100 °C. With rated 55 A at 25 °C, the derated continuous current is approximately 36 A - matching the datasheet's limiting value table (ID = 38 A at Tmb = 100 °C, VGS = 5 V).
Does BUK9219-55A require an external flyback diode when driving inductive loads?
No - it integrates a source-drain diode with VSD = 0.85 V at 25 A and trr = 51 ns. This diode is rated for continuous 55 A and peak 219 A, making it suitable for freewheeling in most automotive solenoid and motor applications without external components.
How does the 1.3 K/W junction-to-mounting-base thermal resistance impact PCB layout?
This low Rth(j-mb) demands a large, low-thermal-resistance copper pour (≥ 200 mm², 2 oz Cu) directly under the mounting base. Thermal vias (≥ 8× 0.3 mm diameter) to inner ground/power planes are recommended to sustain 55 A continuous current without exceeding 175 °C junction temperature.
