Product details
Overview
BUK952R8-30B from NXP Semiconductors is a logic-level N-channel TrenchMOS FET in TO-220AB (SOT78A) package, designed for automotive-critical 12 V power switching. It delivers 75 A continuous drain current at Tmb = 25 °C, features 2.4 mΩ RDS(on) at VGS = 10 V and 25 °C, supports 5 V gate drive, and is qualified to AEC-Q101 with 175 °C junction rating.
For engineers reviewing the BUK952R8-30B datasheet, BUK952R8-30B pinout, BUK952R8-30B application, or BUK952R8-30B equivalent, this device serves as a high-current, thermally robust, automotive-grade MOSFET for direct logic-level control of motors, lamps, and solenoids without level-shifting circuitry.
Technical Context
This FET employs TrenchMOS technology to achieve low on-resistance and fast switching performance. Its gate threshold voltage (VGS(th)) ranges from 1.1 V to 2.0 V at 25 °C, enabling reliable turn-on with standard 5 V microcontroller outputs, and maintains functional operation down to 0.5 V at 175 °C.
The device integrates an internal source-drain diode with 0.85 V forward voltage at 40 A and exhibits 109 ns reverse recovery time under defined conditions. Thermal resistance from junction to mounting base is 0.5 K/W, supporting high-power dissipation when heatsink-mounted.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 30 V maximum - defines safe operating voltage ceiling for 12 V automotive systems with load dump transients |
| ID (continuous) | 75 A at Tmb = 25 °C - limited by TO-220AB package thermal capacity, not die capability |
| RDS(on) | 2.4 mΩ typ at VGS = 10 V, 25 °C - enables <1.9 W conduction loss at 75 A, reducing heatsink requirements |
| RDS(on) @ 5 V | 2.4 mΩ typ at VGS = 5 V, 25 °C - ensures full enhancement with standard logic-level drivers |
| Ptot | 300 W at Tmb = 25 °C - reflects maximum steady-state power handling with ideal heatsinking |
| Tj max | 175 °C - enables operation in under-hood environments without derating for temperature |
| QGD | 35 nC typ - determines Miller plateau duration and influences switching speed and gate driver sizing |
Pinout & Package
Package: TO-220AB (SOT78A), plastic single-ended package with heatsink-mounting base electrically connected to drain. Mounting base provides primary thermal path and mechanical anchoring.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |

| 2 (D) | Drain | Main high-side power path; internally bonded to mounting base for low-inductance thermal and electrical connection |
| 3 (S) | Source | Power return node; referenced to system ground in low-side switch configurations |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| STL220N3LLH6 | 30 V, 220 A (package-limited), 1.7 mΩ RDS(on) @ 10 V, DFN8 5×6 mm - no mounting base, surface-mount only | Requires PCB copper area for thermal management; unsuitable for bolted heatsinks or high-vibration environments | Select when board space is constrained and thermal design uses large copper pour instead of discrete heatsink. |
| IRF1404ZLPBF | 40 V, 180 A, 3.4 mΩ RDS(on) @ 10 V, TO-220AB - higher VDS, higher RDS(on), not AEC-Q101 qualified | Lacks automotive qualification and 5 V logic-level optimization; higher conduction loss at same current | Select only for non-automotive industrial use where 40 V margin is required and AEC compliance is unnecessary. |
Compared with STL220N3LLH6 and IRF1404ZLPBF, the BUK952R8-30B uniquely combines AEC-Q101 qualification, true 5 V logic-level drive, and TO-220AB bolt-mount thermal interface-making it the only choice for production automotive modules requiring reliability, simplicity, and serviceability.

FAQ
Is BUK952R8-30B compatible with 3.3 V microcontroller GPIOs?
No. While its VGS(th) starts at 1.1 V, full enhancement requires ≥4.5 V gate drive to achieve rated RDS(on). At 3.3 V, RDS(on) rises significantly-measured at ~3 mΩ minimum-increasing conduction loss and thermal stress. Use with 5 V logic or add a simple level shifter.
What is the maximum recommended gate resistor value for PWM switching at 20 kHz?
For 20 kHz PWM with acceptable switching losses, a 10 Ω gate resistor is recommended. This balances turn-on/turn-off times (typical td(on) = 71 ns, tf = 195 ns) against gate driver current demand and EMI. Lower values increase peak gate current; higher values extend switching transitions and raise dynamic losses.
Can the mounting base be electrically isolated from the heatsink?
No. The mounting base is internally connected to the drain terminal. Electrical isolation requires insulating hardware (e.g., silicone washer + shoulder washer) and careful creepage/clearance layout. Failure to isolate may cause short circuits if heatsink is grounded and device is used in high-side configuration.
Does BUK952R8-30B include built-in ESD protection?
Yes. The device incorporates on-chip ESD protection rated per HBM (Human Body Model) to ±2 kV, as verified in AEC-Q101 stress testing. However, external TVS diodes are still recommended on gate and drain lines in automotive environments to handle ISO 10605 and ISO 7637-2 transients.
