Product details
Overview
BUK9620-55A from Nexperia is a logic-level N-channel TrenchMOS FET in D2PAK (SOT404) package, rated for 55 V VDS, 54 A continuous drain current at Tmb = 25 °C, and 175 °C junction temperature. It delivers 15–18 mΩ RDS(on) at VGS = 10 V and ID = 25 A, with AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive power switching in 12 V/24 V systems.
For engineers reviewing the BUK9620-55A datasheet, BUK9620-55A pinout, BUK9620-55A application, or BUK9620-55A equivalent, key selection criteria include logic-level gate drive compatibility (VGS(th) = 1.0–2.0 V), thermal robustness (Rth(j-mb) = 1.2 K/W), avalanche energy rating (115 mJ), and automotive-grade reliability under thermally demanding conditions.
Technical Context
This device uses TrenchMOS technology to achieve low on-resistance and fast switching with minimal gate charge (QG ≈ 30–40 nC typical). Its gate threshold voltage (VGS(th)) remains stable across -55 °C to 175 °C, enabling reliable turn-on with 4.5 V–5 V logic sources without level-shifting circuitry.
The integrated source-drain diode exhibits VSD = 0.85–1.2 V at IS = 25 A and Tj = 25 °C, with trr = 52 ns and Qr = 81 nC - supporting moderate-frequency freewheeling in inductive loads like solenoids and DC motors.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 55 V maximum - supports 12 V/24 V automotive bus with margin against load-dump transients. |
| RDS(on) | 15–18 mΩ at VGS = 10 V, ID = 25 A, Tj = 25 °C - enables <1.2 W conduction loss at 50 A. |
| ID (cont) | 54 A at Tmb = 25 °C - requires heatsinking but sustains high-current motor/solenoid drive without derating. |
| EAS | 115 mJ unclamped avalanche energy - withstands inductive kickback without external snubbers in relay/motor control. |
| Tj max | 175 °C - allows operation in engine bay or under-hood environments with minimal thermal margin loss. |
| Rth(j-mb) | 1.2 K/W - enables efficient heat transfer to PCB copper or heatsink via mounting base (drain-connected). |
| VGS(th) | 1.0–2.0 V at Tj = 25 °C - ensures full enhancement with standard 3.3 V/5 V microcontroller GPIO outputs. |
Pinout & Package
Package: D2PAK (SOT404), plastic surface-mount with isolated mounting base electrically connected to drain. Dimensions per IEC JEDEC outline: 15.8 × 10.3 × 4.5 mm (L × W × H), with 2.54 mm lead pitch and cropped lead configuration.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (G) | Gate | Control terminal; accepts 0–10 V logic-level drive; 2–100 nA leakage at ±10 V. |
| 2 (D) | Drain | Main power input; tied internally to mounting base for low-inductance thermal path and high-current routing. |
| 3 (S) | Source | Power return; referenced to system ground; carries full load current and reverse diode conduction. |
| mb | Mounting Base | Electrically connected to drain; serves as primary thermal interface and structural anchor to heatsink or PCB copper pour. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualified | Validated for automotive safety-critical applications including engine control, body electronics, and ADAS power stages. |
| Logic-level gate drive | VGS(th) ≤ 2.0 V and RDS(on) ≤ 20 mΩ at VGS = 4.5 V enable direct MCU GPIO control without gate drivers. |
| 175 °C junction rating | Enables uninterrupted operation in under-hood environments where ambient exceeds 125 °C and thermal cycling is severe. |
| Low RDS(on) × QG figure of merit | ~18 mΩ × 35 nC = 0.63 Ω·nC - balances conduction efficiency and switching speed for 10–100 kHz PWM. |
| Drain-connected mounting base | Reduces thermal resistance to 1.2 K/W and minimizes parasitic inductance (<2.5 nH) for high-di/dt switching stability. |
Applications
| Automotive Door Lock Actuator | 12 V Engine Cooling Fan Control |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Driving 12 V solenoid-based door lock mechanism with peak current up to 45 A and 100 ms pulse duration. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-side power switch controlling solenoid coil energization; operates in on/off mode with <100 µs turn-on delay.

Use Value: 15 mΩ RDS(on) limits conduction loss to <2.3 W at 50 A; 175 °C rating prevents thermal shutdown during sustained high-load operation. |
| 24 V Commercial Vehicle Headlamp Relay | Truck HVAC Blower Motor Driver |
|

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 | 60 V VDS, 50 A ID, RDS(on) = 14 mΩ @ 10 V, but only 150 °C Tj max and no AEC-Q101 qualification. | Not approved for automotive safety-critical use; suitable for industrial 24 V motor drives where qualification is not mandated. | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs automotive qualification requirements and thermal margin is sufficient. |
| IRF1404ZLPbF | 40 V VDS, 180 A ID, RDS(on) = 3.7 mΩ @ 10 V, but VGS(th) = 2–4 V - requires ≥5 V gate drive for full enhancement. | Limited to 12 V systems due to lower breakdown voltage; higher current rating suits high-power fans but lacks logic-level compatibility. | Choose for non-automotive 12 V high-current applications where gate drive voltage ≥5 V is available and 40 V margin is acceptable. |
Compared with STP55NF06L and IRF1404ZLPbF, the BUK9620-55A uniquely combines AEC-Q101 qualification, 55 V rating, true logic-level gate drive (≤2 V threshold), and 175 °C operation - making it the only option among the three qualified for under-hood automotive switching where reliability, thermal resilience, and low-voltage drive coexist.

FAQ
Is BUK9620-55A suitable for high-frequency PWM switching above 50 kHz?
No - while its td(off) = 92 ns and tf = 93 ns support moderate-speed switching, the relatively high Ciss (1660–2210 pF) and QG (~35 nC) increase gate drive power and switching losses above 50 kHz. It is optimized for 1–20 kHz motor/solenoid control, not RF or SMPS applications.
Can BUK9620-55A be used in a high-side configuration with 12 V supply?
Yes - its VGS rating of ±10 V and VGS(th) ≤ 2.0 V allow high-side operation with a bootstrap gate driver or dedicated high-side controller. However, the mounting base is tied to drain, so thermal interface design must accommodate floating potential.
What is the maximum safe operating area (SOA) at Tmb = 100 °C?
At Tmb = 100 °C, the continuous drain current is derated to 38 A (per Table 4), and the SOA curve (Figure 3) shows that at VDS = 30 V, the device supports ≤15 A DC or ≤60 A for 100 µs pulses. Operation beyond these limits risks thermal runaway or avalanche failure.
Does the source-drain diode support synchronous rectification?
No - the body diode has VSD = 0.85–1.2 V and trr = 52 ns, which is too slow and lossy for synchronous rectification in DC-DC converters. It is intended only for freewheeling in inductive loads, not for high-efficiency bidirectional conduction.
