Product details
Overview
BUK9222-55A,127 from Nexperia is a logic-level N-channel TrenchMOS FET in DPAK (SOT428) package, rated for 55 V VDS, 48 A continuous drain current at Tmb = 25 °C, and 175 °C junction temperature. It delivers 24 mΩ RDS(on) at VGS = 4.5 V and Tj = 25 °C, and is AEC-Q101 qualified for automotive power switching of 12 V/24 V loads including motors, lamps, and solenoids.
For engineers reviewing the BUK9222-55A datasheet, BUK9222-55A pinout, BUK9222-55A application, or BUK9222-55A equivalent, this device supports thermally demanding automotive environments, enables direct logic-level gate drive from microcontrollers or ASICs, and provides robust avalanche energy handling (160 mJ) for inductive load switching.
Technical Context
This FET uses TrenchMOS technology to achieve low on-resistance with logic-compatible gate drive (VGS(th) = 1–2 V, typ. 1.5 V), enabling reliable turn-on with 3.3 V or 5 V controllers. Its mounting base (pin 2) is electrically connected to the drain, supporting low-inductance PCB layout and efficient thermal transfer to heatsinks.
The device features integrated source-drain diode (VSD = 0.85–1.2 V at IS = 25 A), fast reverse recovery (trr = 52 ns), and high avalanche ruggedness - critical for unclamped inductive switching in motor control and solenoid drivers.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 55 V - Maximum drain-source blocking voltage; suitable for 24 V automotive systems with transient margin. |
| ID (continuous) | 48 A at Tmb = 25 °C - Sustained load current capability when mounted on adequately sized copper area or heatsink. |
| RDS(on) | 24 mΩ at VGS = 4.5 V, Tj = 25 °C - Low conduction loss enabling <1.2 W dissipation at 5 A, reducing thermal design burden. |
| EAS | 160 mJ non-repetitive avalanche energy - Withstands inductive kickback without failure during relay or motor coil de-energization. |
| Tj max | 175 °C - Enables operation in under-hood environments where ambient temperatures exceed 125 °C. |
| Rth(j-mb) | 1.5 K/W - Junction-to-mounting-base thermal resistance; defines minimum heatsink requirement for power dissipation management. |
Pinout & Package
Package: DPAK (SOT428), plastic single-ended surface-mounted package with 3 leads (lead 1 cropped); mounting base (mb) is integral to the package and electrically connected to the drain terminal.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Gate (G) | Control input; accepts logic-level drive (≥4.5 V) for full enhancement; low gate charge (QG typ. ~30 nC) enables fast switching. |
| 2 | Drain (D) / Mounting Base (mb) | Main power output node; electrically tied to large copper pad for thermal conduction and low-inductance high-current path. |
| 3 | Source (S) | Power return path; referenced to system ground; internal source inductance (LS = 7.5 nH) impacts switching ringing in high-dI/dt applications. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualification | Validated for automotive safety-critical functions including engine control, body electronics, and ADAS power stages. |
| Logic-level gate drive | VGS(th) = 1–2 V ensures reliable turn-on with standard 3.3 V or 5 V MCU GPIOs without level-shifting circuitry. |
| 175 °C junction rating | Supports sustained operation in high-ambient under-hood locations where conventional MOSFETs derate significantly. |
| Low RDS(on) @ 4.5 V | 24 mΩ enables high-efficiency 12 V/24 V load switching with minimal voltage drop and heat generation. |
| Integrated source-drain diode | VSD = 0.85 V at 25 A allows freewheeling in H-bridge or single-FET inductive loads without external diode. |
Applications
| Automotive Body Control Module (BCM) | 12 V/24 V DC Motor Driver |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Switching interior lighting, window lifters, and door locks in modern BCMs. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-side or low-side power switch controlling resistive and inductive loads. Use Value: AEC-Q101 compliance ensures long-term reliability across temperature cycling and vibration; 48 A rating supports multiple parallel loads per channel. |
Use Scenario: Driving brushed DC fans, radiator cooling pumps, and HVAC blower motors. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-side switching element in PWM-controlled motor circuits. Use Value: 160 mJ avalanche energy absorbs back-EMF during PWM turn-off, eliminating need for snubber networks. |
| Automotive Solenoid Actuator | Industrial 24 V Load Management |
Use Scenario: Controlling fuel injectors, transmission shift solenoids, and ABS valve actuators. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Fast-switching power stage delivering precise current pulses to inductive coils.

Use Scenario: Power distribution in industrial control panels for sensors, valves, and PLC I/O modules. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Solid-state replacement for electromechanical relays in DIN-rail mounted equipment. Use Value: 1.5 K/W Rth(j-mb) enables direct mounting to metal chassis, simplifying thermal design versus TO-220 alternatives. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar N-channel logic-level power MOSFET applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STP55NF06L-1 | 60 V VDS, 50 A ID, RDS(on) = 14 mΩ @ 10 V; not AEC-Q101 qualified; TO-220 package. | Lacks automotive qualification; requires external heatsink; higher gate threshold (1–2.5 V) less robust at low VGS. | Preferred for cost-sensitive industrial designs where qualification and surface-mount are not required. |
| IRF3205PBF | 55 V VDS, 110 A ID, RDS(on) = 8 mΩ @ 10 V; no AEC-Q101; TO-220; higher QG (71 nC). | Higher current rating but larger package and slower switching; unsuitable for space-constrained automotive PCBs. | Used where peak current >48 A is needed and thermal mass permits TO-220 mounting. |
Compared with STP55NF06L-1 and IRF3205PBF, the BUK9222-55A uniquely combines AEC-Q101 qualification, DPAK surface-mount compatibility, and guaranteed 24 mΩ RDS(on) at 4.5 V - making it the only option among the three qualified for production automotive electronics with logic-level drive constraints.

FAQ
Is BUK9222-55A,127 suitable for high-frequency PWM motor control?
Yes - with td(on) = 19 ns, tr = 124 ns, td(off) = 92 ns, and tf = 93 ns, it supports PWM frequencies up to 100 kHz in motor control. Its low Ciss (1660–2210 pF) and Crss (194–266 pF) reduce gate drive losses and improve switching efficiency at elevated frequencies.
What is the maximum continuous drain current at 100 °C mounting base temperature?
At Tmb = 100 °C and VGS = 5 V, the maximum continuous drain current is 34 A, as specified in Table 4 (Limiting Values). This reflects thermal derating due to reduced heat dissipation capacity at elevated board temperatures.
Does the mounting base require electrical isolation from the PCB ground plane?
Yes - because the mounting base is internally connected to the drain (pin 2), it must be electrically isolated from any grounded copper pour unless the drain node is intentionally held at ground potential. Use insulated thermal pads or ceramic substrates when mounting to metal heatsinks.
Can BUK9222-55A,127 replace older BUK9222-55B variants in existing designs?
No - BUK9222-55A and BUK9222-55B differ in RDS(on) specification and test conditions; the -55A version guarantees ≤24 mΩ at VGS = 4.5 V, while the -55B may exhibit higher on-resistance. Design revalidation is required before substitution due to performance and qualification differences.
