Product details
Overview
BUK9609-40B from Nexperia is a logic-level N-channel TrenchMOS FET in D2PAK (SOT404) package, rated for 40 V drain-source voltage, 75 A continuous drain current at 25 °C mounting base temperature, and 157 W total power dissipation. It features 6.2 mΩ typical RDS(on) at VGS = 10 V and 25 °C, operates up to 175 °C junction temperature, and is AEC-Q101 qualified for automotive critical loads including motors, lamps, and solenoids.
For engineers reviewing the BUK9609-40B datasheet, BUK9609-40B pinout, BUK9609-40B application, or BUK9609-40B equivalent, key selection criteria include logic-level gate drive compatibility (VGS(th) = 1.1–2.0 V), low on-resistance under 5 V drive (7.6 mΩ typ), thermal robustness (Rth(j-mb) = 0.95 K/W), avalanche energy rating (241 mJ), and automotive qualification status.
Technical Context
This MOSFET employs TrenchMOS technology to achieve low conduction losses and stable switching performance across wide temperature ranges. Its gate threshold voltage (1.1–2.0 V at 25 °C) ensures reliable turn-on with standard 3.3 V or 5 V logic controllers, while its 175 °C maximum junction temperature supports operation in thermally constrained engine-bay environments.
The device integrates an intrinsic body diode with 0.85 V forward voltage at 25 A and 57 ns reverse recovery time, enabling efficient freewheeling in inductive load switching. Its dynamic parameters-including 32 nC total gate charge, 12 nC gate-drain charge, and 2700 pF input capacitance-support predictable gate drive design for PWM frequencies up to several hundred kHz.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 40 V maximum - supports 12 V automotive systems with margin against load-dump transients. |
| RDS(on) @ VGS = 5 V | 7.6 mΩ typical - enables high-efficiency switching of 25 A loads with ≤4.75 W conduction loss. |
| ID continuous | 75 A at Tmb = 25 °C - limited by D2PAK package thermal capability, not die. |
| EAS | 241 mJ non-repetitive avalanche energy - provides robustness against inductive switching stress without external snubbers. |
| Rth(j-mb) | 0.95 K/W - allows direct heatsinking via mounting base for high-power thermal management. |
| VGS(th) | 1.1–2.0 V at 25 °C - ensures full enhancement with 3.3 V microcontroller outputs. |
| QG(tot) | 32 nC - determines gate driver current requirement (e.g., 3.2 A peak for 10 ns rise time). |
Pinout & Package
Package: D2PAK (SOT404), plastic single-ended surface-mounted package with 3 leads (one lead cropped); mounting base electrically connected to drain.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Gate (G) | Control terminal; accepts logic-level voltage (≥4.5 V) to fully enhance channel; requires <32 nC charge for full switching. |
| 2 | Drain (D) | Main power output terminal; internally connected to mounting base; carries full load current and dissipates heat directly to heatsink. |
| 3 | Source (S) | Power return path; referenced to system ground; forms common node for gate drive and load return. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Logic-level gate drive | Operates fully enhanced with 5 V gate voltage, eliminating need for gate boosters in 3.3/5 V MCU designs. |
| AEC-Q101 qualification | Validated for automotive safety-critical applications including engine control, lighting, and chassis systems. |
| 175 °C junction rating | Enables deployment in under-hood locations where ambient temperatures exceed 125 °C. |
| Low RDS(on) at 5 V | 7.6 mΩ typical ensures <5 W conduction loss at 25 A, reducing heatsink size and system cost. |
| Integrated avalanche ruggedness | 241 mJ EAS allows safe clamping of inductive kickback without external protection components. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar N-channel logic-level power FET applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STL220N4F7AG | 40 V, 220 A rated, but RDS(on) = 1.7 mΩ @ 10 V; requires higher gate drive current (QG = 110 nC). | Targeted at higher-current inverters; less suitable for space-constrained automotive modules due to larger PowerFLAT 5x6 package. | Select when >100 A continuous current is required and board area permits larger footprint. |
| IRL1404ZPBF | 40 V, 165 A rated, RDS(on) = 3.2 mΩ @ 10 V, but only 175 °C rated and not AEC-Q101 qualified. | Designed for industrial/commercial use; lacks automotive qualification and has higher gate charge (QG = 68 nC). | Select for cost-sensitive non-automotive applications where qualification is not mandated and thermal margin is ample. |
Compared with STL220N4F7AG and IRL1404ZPBF, the BUK9609-40B uniquely balances automotive qualification, compact D2PAK packaging, logic-level drive, and verified 241 mJ avalanche capability-making it optimal for space- and reliability-constrained 12 V automotive power switching.

FAQ
Is BUK9609-40B suitable for high-frequency PWM motor control?
Yes. With 32 nC total gate charge, 12 nC gate-drain charge, and 106 ns rise time at 5 V drive, the BUK9609-40B supports PWM frequencies up to 200 kHz in well-designed gate drive circuits. Its 2700 pF input capacitance and low internal inductances (LD = 2.5 nH, LS = 7.5 nH) minimize switching losses and ringing in motor H-bridge or half-bridge configurations.
What is the maximum continuous drain current at 100 °C mounting base temperature?
At Tmb = 100 °C, the BUK9609-40B supports 67 A continuous drain current per Figure 1 in the datasheet. This derating reflects thermal limits of the D2PAK package; actual current must be validated against system-level heatsink performance and ambient conditions.
Does the mounting base require electrical isolation from the heatsink?
No. The mounting base is internally connected to the drain terminal (Pin 2), so it must be electrically isolated from any grounded heatsink using insulating thermal pads or mica washers. Failure to isolate will short the drain to ground and destroy the device.
Can BUK9609-40B replace older BUK9609-40A devices in existing designs?
Yes. The BUK9609-40B is a direct replacement for BUK9609-40A, sharing identical pinout, package, and electrical specifications. Revision 02 updates documentation formatting and separates the part number from earlier combined datasheets, but no functional or parametric changes were introduced.
