Product details
Overview
BUK96150-55A from NXP Semiconductors (formerly Philips) is an N-channel enhancement-mode logic-level TrenchMOS™ power transistor in TO220AB and SOT404 packages, rated for 55 V VDS, 13 A DC drain current at 25 °C, and 150 mΩ RDS(ON) at VGS = 5 V. It serves as a high-efficiency, automotive-grade switching element in low-voltage DC load control circuits.
For engineers reviewing the BUK96150-55A datasheet, BUK96150-55A pinout, BUK96150-55A application, or BUK96150-55A equivalent, key selection criteria include its logic-level gate drive compatibility (VGS(th) = 1.0–2.0 V), junction temperature rating of 175 °C, avalanche energy capability (25 mJ), and dual-package availability for through-hole and surface-mount design flexibility.
Technical Context
This device uses trench-gate MOSFET technology to achieve low on-state resistance and fast switching performance. Its gate threshold voltage range (1.0–2.0 V at 25 °C) ensures reliable turn-on with standard 3.3 V or 5 V logic controllers, while its integrated body diode supports freewheeling in inductive loads.
The BUK96150-55A features unclamped inductive avalanche capability (25 mJ), thermal resistance junction-to-mounting base ≤2.8 K/W, and dynamic parameters including Ciss = 254–339 pF and tr = 285–428 ns - enabling robust operation in automotive motor drivers and power distribution modules.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 55 V - maximum blocking voltage for 12 V/24 V automotive systems |
| ID (DC) | 13 A at Tmb = 25 °C - continuous load current capability with heatsink |
| RDS(ON) | 150 mΩ at VGS = 5 V - enables efficient switching with low conduction loss at logic-level drive |
| Tj max | 175 °C - supports under-hood automotive environments without derating |
| Ptot | 53 W at Tmb = 25 °C - defines thermal envelope for PCB copper area or heatsink sizing |
| Qrr | 0.026 µC - low reverse recovery charge reduces switching losses in synchronous rectification |
| WDSS | 25 mJ - specifies single-pulse unclamped inductive avalanche energy handling |
Pinout & Package
Available in two discrete package variants: TO220AB (SOT78) and SOT404 (D2-PAK). Both feature drain-connected mounting base for direct thermal coupling. Pin 1 = gate, Pin 2 = drain (tab), Pin 3 = source.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (Gate) | Control input | Logic-level compatible; requires ESD protection during handling |
| 2 (Drain / Tab) | High-side power path | Electrically and thermally connected to mounting base; must be isolated from chassis unless referenced to system ground |
| 3 (Source) | Return path / reference node | Serves as local ground reference for gate drive; influences common-source layout parasitics |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Logic-level gate drive | Operates fully enhanced at VGS ≥ 4.5 V - eliminates need for gate driver IC in 5 V microcontroller interfaces |
| TrenchMOS™ technology | Delivers 150 mΩ RDS(ON) at 5 V drive - reduces I²R losses by >20% vs planar MOSFETs in same package |
| Avalanche-rated | 25 mJ unclamped inductive energy - enables reliable operation in relay/coil driving without external snubbers |
| Integrated body diode | VSD = 0.85–1.2 V at 25 A - supports freewheeling in H-bridge and buck converter topologies |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| STP16NF55 | Higher RDS(ON) (180 mΩ @ 5 V), lower ID (16 A), same VDS (55 V), TO220 only | Lacks SOT404 option; higher conduction loss increases thermal load in compact designs | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs thermal performance and surface-mount flexibility |
| IRFZ44NPBF | Higher VGS(th) (2–4 V), higher RDS(ON) (28 mΩ @ 10 V but not logic-level optimized), TO220 only | Requires 10 V gate drive for full enhancement; unsuitable for 3.3 V MCU direct drive | Select only if existing 10 V gate driver infrastructure exists and logic-level compatibility is not required |
Compared with STP16NF55 and IRFZ44NPBF, the BUK96150-55A delivers superior logic-level drive margin, lower RDS(ON) at 5 V, dual-package support, and certified avalanche capability - making it the preferred choice for new automotive and industrial 12–24 V switching designs requiring robustness and layout flexibility.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current for BUK96150-55A at 100 °C mounting base temperature?
The BUK96150-55A supports 9 A DC drain current at Tmb = 100 °C, as specified in the Limiting Values table. This derating reflects thermal constraints of the TO220AB and SOT404 packages without forced cooling. Designers must verify PCB copper area and heatsinking to maintain safe junction temperature under sustained load.
Does BUK96150-55A have avalanche capability, and what is its rated energy?
Yes, the BUK96150-55A is rated for unclamped inductive avalanche with a single-pulse energy of 25 mJ under defined test conditions (ID = 8 A, VDD ≤ 25 V, VGS = 5 V, RGS = 50 Ω, Tmb = 25 °C). This capability allows safe operation in inductive load switching without external snubber networks in many automotive applications.
What are the gate threshold voltage limits for BUK96150-55A across temperature?
The BUK96150-55A has a gate threshold voltage VGS(th) of 1.0–2.0 V at Tj = 25 °C, narrowing to 0.5–2.3 V across the full operating range (-55 °C to +175 °C). This wide tolerance ensures reliable turn-on with 3.3 V or 5 V logic while maintaining noise immunity at elevated temperatures.
Can BUK96150-55A be used in surface-mount designs, and which package supports that?
Yes, the BUK96150-55A is available in SOT404 (D2-PAK) package, designed for surface-mount assembly with a center-pin-connected mounting base. Its footprint and thermal pad layout comply with Philips' SMD Footprint Design Guidelines, enabling high-power density layouts on FR4 PCBs with minimum thermal resistance to ambient.
What is the typical reverse diode forward voltage of BUK96150-55A at 25 A?
The typical forward voltage VSD of the integrated body diode in BUK96150-55A is 0.85 V at IF = 25 A and VGS = 0 V, with a maximum of 1.2 V. This low drop supports efficient freewheeling in half-bridge and buck converter configurations without requiring external diodes.
